• Nightly Roundup #187 - Not REA =[

    I was going to use a certain Spitfire followup image for the Nightly Roundup, but I thought better of it.  Have some Fleur in a Santa hat instead.

    To the news!


    Humble Brony Bundle Hits 6000 Bucks!


    That crazy project to bombard the Humble indie Bundle with donations has hit the 6000 mark! We just keep climbing. If you want to contribute to the project, hit up the website for it here!

    A news article on Video Game Writers also dropped a small article about it. They butchered the sites pretty hard, but at least they are trying. See? I'm not the only one that gets news wrong sometimes! Professional blogs do it too!


    Bronystock Convention Survey

    The upcoming Bronystock convention in Palo Alto, California in 2012 has set up a survey for you guys to take, asking for your input on what kind of music they will have playing during the event. Check out the survey below and read the information at the top!

    Bronystock Survey


    Babble with Bronies Episode 3

    Have some copy paste:

    It's that time of the week again, the weekly Babble with Bronies event announcement.

    Seeing as this is the last episode I will host on Vokle.com, I figured I'd end it lazily, the audience can ask me what they want. Want to know about the show's past, present, and future? You can ask that. Want to know about me? You can ask me that, but whether I answer is of course the question Want to ask about ponies? Of course you can!

    As per usual, the event is at Vokle.com, all that's required is for one to sign up with an account and RSVP at the event. It's on December 17th at 3:00 pm CST.

    1. Meh, not that much I'm interested in tonight. And I still think that Discord plushie is creepy as hell.


      Also, First?

    2. Ha, well, pinup Spitfire was fun, but tongues will wag, eh? ;)
      Those sugar cookies look fantastic! I'd be so proud of that.
      And, way to go Hasbro! Keep up the charity; keep reaching out to your fans. You're getting cooler and cooler as time goes on. =D
      Yay wordsearch!

    3. Be sure to watch the Hasbro donates 150k video.

      It features an appearance by Pink Celestia on the Today Show.

    4. What is this 'Night' you speak of?

      ReplyDelete
    5. The first sign that I've been up to late on finals: the nightly roundup is up.
      I wonder what those $150,000 worth of toys would look like...

      ReplyDelete
    6. How about a Cutie Mark Quilt with all the ponies cutie marks stiched together.....

      Oh right. That one fanfic.

      ReplyDelete
    7. Awesome Pinkie Plushie, might I add.

      ReplyDelete
    8. *Sigh* I was planning on converting Doctor Horrible to ponies. Ah well, too late now.

    9. I could have totally stolen first, but I took an arrow to the knee.
      Well, with all this brony activity, it makes me think we're part of the Dai-Gurren Brigade, requiting new members, and Sethisto is our great and powerful fearless leader (Kamina). Let's show those haters the power of the Brony community! RAW RAW FIGHT THE POWER!

      Seriously though, I just felt like getting that off my chest. This community has really turned into quite something.

    10. Did anyone else see the 'MOOO' first in that word search?

      ReplyDelete
    11. Bronystock is going to be so AWESOME! I can't wait to hear DJ Alex S and Acoustic Brony.

      ReplyDelete
    12. @Eric

      It looks like 1,500 Pink Celestias swarming in a terrible hoard toward 1,500 stockings.

      ReplyDelete
    13. I think Seth has moved on from Trixie to Spitfire as his new best pony...poor Trixie

      ReplyDelete
    14. That dice bag...

      DO WANT.

      I smell a Christmas idea...

      ReplyDelete
    15. Never was a fan of the saucy art, but I really liked the REA recruitment posters. Hope we get more in the future.

      Confound these bucking artists, they make me attracted to ponies.

      ReplyDelete
    16. Hey an Alberta pony group, don't really use facebook for anything but hey it's something.

      ReplyDelete
    17. Yeah, the other Spitfire image that was in today's Drawfriend most likely. :P

      6000 mark? The image cap says $4,750. Unless I'm reading something wrong. But that's still really good. "as the site’s owner “Cupcakes Nom” details in a post on their forum." lol I was going to say... wat? xD Ah well, at least they included an image of Derpy. :)

      Huh, a survey to see what types of music people would like to hear at that Brony convention. Good idea. Even get to pick the three artists you would most like to see live.

      Another site naming Bronies as one of the top memes of 2011, pretty cool.

      Oooh, word search. I'd say I'm going to do it, but honestly I'll most likely get involved with something else and forget it. lol Still, looks to be fun. :)

      Pony sugar cookies! I'm salivating now. >.>; The Octavia cookie... I look so derp. And kinda pissed off. lol

      Oh wow, $150,000 in toys. That's rather generous of Hasbro. And pony toys to boot. Of course all the girls will be getting the Celestia's and the boys will probably be getting the "boy toys". I wonder if any of the boys will ask if they could have gotten a Celestia instead. lol Probably not, but it's a kinda funny thought. :P

      The Equestrian Inquirer opening, though maybe just a bit long in my opinion, was enjoyable. Fun music. I still say they could really use a boom mic. But it's not too bad. Nice little logo/crest too they were using.

    18. I get the feeling 'slugs' in the wordsearch is supposed to be Snips...

      ReplyDelete
    19. lots of amazing stuff bronies! Keep it up!

      I'm glad The Humble Indie Bundle is growing.

      ReplyDelete
    20. Nice donations everywhere and more news sources falling to the ponies, yes all according to plan.

      ಠ_ರೃ that discord figure/doll/idk what that is just.....yeah I don't have any words for that.

      ReplyDelete
    21. Okay, I can see how the "Mount up!" recruitment poster might be a bit much for the front page. That Spitfire is serious about recruitment drives, that's for sure.

      I wonder how the Dr. Horrible parts break down (the thread link doesn't work for me)... Is Nightmare Moon the lead? Bad Horse isn't a speaking role, after all. I could actually see Twilight being any of the three main roles, depending on who has the other ones... Although really Fluttershy seems the most like Penny.

    22. GUYS THIS IS IMPORTANT, THATS WHY ALL CAPS LOCK FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR THE REAL THREAD FOR THE DR. HORRIBLE PROJECT, PLEASE GO HERE http://www.ponychan.net/chan/phoenix/res/3466.html#6025

    23. @Harwick Hoping you get this, follow my above comment or this link to the real thread http://www.ponychan.net/chan/phoenix/res/3466.html#6025

    24. That brony bundle rticle was a bit wrong but they were nice, a little correction and it would be fine, really nice to see everypony donating.

      Hasbros donation is a nice gesture, if only I wasn't pink with them.

      Those cookies look nice, it's a nice break form the piles of great looking cakes.

      A Dr. Horrible singalong? I'd like to hear that sometime.

      Really nice roundup this time.

      ReplyDelete
    25. OMG that cockatrice is SO CUTE! Didn't think that was possible!

      ReplyDelete
    26. Plenty of good news to go around here. Floods of donations, word search, one of my favorite interests meets the other (pony mention in PC Magazine.) Plenty of win to go around. Though if I ever wanted to go to Bronystock, I'd need to find an excuse to go to California. Not that I need one, but you guys get the point.

      ReplyDelete
    27. Spitfire? I'M HER-.... oh.

      You should discreetly add it somewhere else, then. Because if there are any more REA recruitment pictures, I must have them. I must, I must, I MUST!

      ReplyDelete
    28. @Kinrah I get the feeling 'slugs' in the wordsearch is supposed to be Snips...

      Whatwhatwhat? Oh horse apples. I'd better fix my "interests list" on my FIM community. Yes, it should be Snips. Where did I get Slugs??

      ReplyDelete
    29. I love the Equestrian Inquirer, The theme is a bit long for a short news broadcast but a pretty good remix anyway.

      I glad to the see the Bronyism page back, It got hacked by a troll the other day. I hope that does not happen again.

      ReplyDelete
    30. That was one of the better articles on Bronies

      ReplyDelete
    31. wait a minute Ohad Kanne didn't tell any pony in Equestria Bad Company he was interviewed!

      ReplyDelete
    32. Nooooo! The dice bag is sold out!!!

      ReplyDelete
