ReplyDeleteDat derpin first.
ReplyDeleteTrixie round-up is best round-up
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've actually been up for a Roundup. Keep up the good work, Seth!
ReplyDeleteOnly one more to go!
ReplyDeleteWow, really early today
ReplyDeletenext roundup will be #200
ReplyDeleteWhy must all Pony Guilds be on the Republic? Give the Empire a little love!

ReplyDeleteEast coast is finally awake for a roundup! Yay!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Octavia be EVERYWHERE! Do you even sleep?
Twilight is always partying!!!
ReplyDelete@JaggedfireThen go found one for The Solar Empire.
ReplyDeleteTwilight's got some moves!! O__O Dat ending.
ReplyDeleteOH GOD IT LOOPS!!
Only 45 minutes of why mlp is amazing? Psshhhh
Twilight can't possibly be that good at DDR. I refuse to accept that.
ReplyDelete@MagicLlama Yup. I've been on a break in commenting for too long. You people have really forgotten about me in just a gap of three days? Tsk, tsk.......
ReplyDeleteI forgot that Rob Renzetti worked on this show. I loved "My Life as a Teenage Robot," and I guess MLP really was, as the dude in the video said, "the perfect storm."
ReplyDeleteTwilight is best dancing pony.
ReplyDeleteYay, early Nightly Roundup. I like these. :3
ReplyDeleteOoh, MLP Online sprite streaming. Sounds fun. Maybe get to see some of the sprites for the game be made.
Eh... that 45 minute video. Honestly, I think some people over-complicate why it's a show worth watching and why it's considered good. It has good storyline's, likeable developed characters, good animation. There, done. lol
Wow, lookit Twilight tearing up that DDR pad. She can really move. She needs to start doing some fancy flips and such now. ;)
Works for me. The roundups always come after I got to sleep, so this works for me. Hmm, Ponemon. I'll see what can be helped with, even if it's something small. A 45min video on why FiM is good? Might have to wait until morning for that one. And ponies playing DDR? Always a win. OK, off to bed.
ReplyDelete@MagicLlama
ReplyDeleteEenope!
But almost every day for over half a year now I've been in many of the posts' comments here. :P
Godzilla vs Spike
ReplyDeletejust saying who wins?
Celestia Moonit Seth, My body instantly goes to sleep mode upon finishing the round up, and I had fic to write... Oh well winter break is amazing is it not?
ReplyDelete@Octavia
ReplyDeleteHmmm... sinister...
Oh shit, I'm actually up for one of these.
ReplyDeleteAny word, by chance, of a Michigan meet-up?
is there a colorado brony meetup by any chance? the brony community is so dead here....its boring....
ReplyDeletea black guy! :D we dont get much of those
ReplyDeleteI just finished watching the 45-minute video. Wow, that was awesome. Seriously, take some time and watch it. Show it to non-Bronies.
ReplyDeleteWhoo, hats off to the CoD bronies. I went there for a quarter and it was actually pretty cool for a community college. Also, the studios that hang over the pond at the MAC are frickin' awesome.
ReplyDeleteI read "austrian" as "australian." And I'll admit it. I lol'd very hard after seeing "it's not in english, so someone go translate it" immediately after XD
ReplyDeletehey, a round up at a decent hour! do this again!
ReplyDeleteYay! we're official! we had a meetup and got it posted to EQ Daily!!!
ReplyDeletelol vertex^2. Such a fun chart till your legs break at the end.

@DrProffessorMan
ReplyDeleteThere's an entire website dedicated to Colorado Bronies, actually, at www.coloradobronies.org
so now we have two republic brony guilds on the same server. I dont see the point in that.
ReplyDeleteso now we have two republic brony guilds on the same server. I dont see the point in that.
ReplyDeleteThe Austrian radio broadcast transcription. I've added notes whenever I felt there might be something that's not well known outside Austria (written by me, copy, distribute, use as you want):
ReplyDelete"Digital Leben" (note: translates to "digital living" or "life") *jingle*
Male voice: News spreads over the internet faster than over any other media before. But not only world-moving news spread over forums, social networks or weblogs but nowadays also pictures and videos find an audience of millions.
The head butt of Zinedine Zidane against Marco Matarazzi in the final game of the Soccer World Championship about five years ago had enormous resonance on the net. The following day a computer game existed with the goal to head butt as many Italian soccer players as possible. Head butt scenes were reenacted on open streets, filmed and uploaded.
A perfect example for an internet hype, also called "meme". It is possible to call memes "thought units" that multiply through communication of their carriers, the simpler definition is "running gag" of a world wide internet community. In the frame of a three parted series Konnie Lee will present especially successful internet "memes" of this year.
Part 1 focuses on the children cartoon series MLP that not least got an internet phenomenon because of the "Anonymous" hackers. (note: Austrian and German hacker groups working under the label of "Anonymous" used MLP characters as mascots, for many people the first time to see e.g. Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie)
*mlp title song plays*
In October 2010 the US-american TV station "The Hub" started to show the new series MLP:FIM. The series is based on the toy series MLP by Hasbro that was successful in the 1980s. Already back then a TV series existed about the talking ponies.
*old mlp title melody plays*
To make the ponies popular with young girls again, Hasbro ordered a renewal of the series. With success. But nobody expected this type of success. The TV series MLP:FIM did not only hit the target demographic of little girls but also found a huge male fanbase online, ranging from teenagers to over 40 year olds. These male MLP fans, called "Bronies", let their enthusiasm for the series roam free on various platforms, post images of ponies or cut videos. The wired magazine calls this trend "neo-sincerity" and sees connections to the success of others like the musical TV series "Glee".
*Glee melody*
The irony of the 1990s is out. "Guilty pleasures", secret preferences, no longer have to be defended with "I don't *really* like it, just ironically". The fan community of Bronies celebrates MLP openly, without irony. They like the humor of the series and also its core message about friendship and tolerance. Repeatedly the production quality of the show gets lauded, which is for a big part thanks to the original english voices of the characters.
*twilight sparkle and applejack speak*
Out of this fandom, every day countless amounts of images with funny texts and videos that use scenes from MLP and rearrange them. Very popular are film trailer mashups that combine the audio from known film trailers with the images from MLP. For example "300" becomes "300 ponies", "V for Vendetta" becomes "P for Pinketta" and "Inglorious Basterds" becomes "Inglorious Ponies".
*Inglorious Basterds audio*
Or scenes from the series simply get looped.
*fluttershy cheering *
And out of that new videos get made.
*music plays*
And so the MLP meme grows and creates even more memes.
*MLP:FIM title music plays*
Male voice:
This week in "digital leben" we look at internet memes with special impact. Tomorrow it's the "Pepper spraying cop's" turn, whose image of treating "Occupy" protestants spread around the world.
That 45min review is amazing!
ReplyDeleteJust got finished watching it :D
@Evenprime
ReplyDeleteAwesome job!
Normally I dont read the round up, but the "45 Minutes on Why FiM is Good" was so worth it!
ReplyDeleteWatched the entirety of '45 Minutes on Why FiM is Good' and i'm now even prouder of this Fanbase and MLP: FiM. Time to rewatch every episode :3
ReplyDelete@Octavia
ReplyDeleteYou're right with the overcomplication. MLP FiM is just fun, pleasurable to watch and enjoyable to listen. Though I'd focus a little more on our fanbase because many of our projects are at least a match for the show itself. ChainAlgorithm, MandoPony, AcousticBrony, Stonershy, Dagryphon, Pen Stroke and many, many others.
I always wanted to go to a type of party. Like this but sadly I have no money. And my parants do not know I like this show :(
ReplyDeleteVertex²? That's no DDR, it's an ITG machine! NERDRAGE
ReplyDeletePolish Uncyclopedia has been PONYFIED!
ReplyDeletehttp://nonsensopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Strona_główna
@Present Perfect
ReplyDeleteGah, beat me to it.
But yes, RAGE! Just like when people see PIU and call it DDR...
Is it bad that I kinda want to see an 'Unsuccessful Meetups' category sometimes?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I watched all 46 minutes of Paleo's explanation of MLP. But it was worth it. Great video, Paleo!
ReplyDeleteWhoa a Bronymeet near me. I gotta see if I can wedge a 53foot trailer there.
ReplyDeleteWell this just figures, a meet up finally pops up in the Tampa Bay Area and it's during Bronycon. D: Well maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteFinally a meetup in Tampa.
ReplyDelete@SorinLion
Enjoy BroNYCon !!!
Well done Paleo!
