Nightly Roundup #376

Hello again to everyone who stayed up late for one last article before bed (and also all of you who had the good sense to live on the other side of the world where it's currently daylight hours)! This is Phoe once again, reporting to you live from the Equestria Daily sugar mines! Conditions remain brutal as labor disputes have come to a head regarding unsafe working arrangements and the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Blog Overlord Sethisto. Workers and management remain recalcitrant as the mines themselves have worn down enough that I appear to have become trapped under an excessively larger sugar crystal. While I lick myself to freedom, I've recruited Rainbow Dash as an ace reporter on a special investigative piece. Ms. Dash?

"Zzzwha? Oh! Right. That thing. So uh, do I just start or... ok, ok! Don't worry, I've got this! So here's the deal: Twilight hooked me up with this little doohickey that's going to let me... what did she say again? Go to other worlds or something. So I'll just push this button and --" *bzzzt*

This Roundup Aria Sung By Awesome People

So last night I wrote a little song for you all and it seems to have resonated with a couple of you, because you guys totally covered it. Multiple times. Thanks to DoctorWhoovesPhD and kaotik4266 for bringing some musical talent to my silliness. Listen and be amused all over again:

Just in time for the 2013 Core Set official release, Shards of Equestria is available for download in both high and low res versions! It's been tweaked and balanced to hell and back with lots of help from the community, and now it's officially play ready. If you're a M:tG fan this is something you don't want to miss. Don't forget to look into the intro packs if you want a quick way to get started or aren't sure of your pony deckbuilding skillz. Seriously though. So cool.

"Aw yeah, made it safely! Wonder where I am? Well, a quick flyover should take care... of... what the hay?! Where are my wings? Why would... who would... how... just... what kind of cruel joke is this? Nuts to this, I'm out." *bzzzt*

iBrony Radio Announces Massive Kazoo Project to the Delight of Vuvuzela Fans Everywhere

Hey there!
I'm Sour Lemonade from iBrony Radio!

Here at iBR! a group of us consisting of Phony the Pony, LimitlessHate, Kryptage, and myself (Note Kryptage is not a member of iBR!) decided to dub next week, My Little Kazoo Week. We're going to dedicate this week by covering songs, writing original songs, and bringing out the true powers of music with kazoos.

We are going to do a version of the Massive Smile Project done in only kazoos. We're going to call this the "Massive Kazoo Project." I've been contacting people all day so that we can get a ton of people in on it.

We're running all of this from our website, http://www.ibronyradio.com/, and we have a submissions page for anyone who wants to join in.

Anyhow, we have already got a few big bronies sold on the idea, but we want to see if we can reach a larger audience for this. This is where you come in! EqD is first of all, the first tab in my bookmarks bar, AND one of, if not the most visited My Little Pony related website in the brony community. What we need is for you all to give us a nice shiny post with the logo all over it. I can write anything you need, so please don't hesitate to send me a response. We really need your help to make this big.

This project may seem silly, but we're having a lot of fun planning this out. Hopefully, we can get a vast amount of great people to send in awesome songs and maybe do it again next year!

This is Rainbow Dash, best flyer in Equestria, coming to you from... actually, I think this is just Ponyville. Laaaaame. Excuse me a sec, I've gotta go tell Twi her thingy doesn't work. Hey, Twi! You-- huh? What are you talking about? We're not going on a date, why would you think we were? Hey Pinkie, help me tell Twilight that... oh no, not you too! Why is everypony looking at me like that?"

Midnight Run Enters the Midnight Soundstage, Goes All 24/7 Radio on Our Faces

Hey ponies

We've still been working and here is just ANOTHER piece of our labors. Launching this Monday will be Midnight SOUNDSTAGE. A 24/7 pony radio station that's a little different. In keeping with our belief that the community should be open and should allow even new song writers and pmv creators to share their work to everyone, ANY pony can submit their own work to play with some of the hottest pony songs to date and we will be allowing DJ's to book times to spin some song of their choosing. Submitting your own work is easy just use the submit option at the top of the page. We hope that this will be something that everypony can and will enjoy. The page will go live at www.themidnightrun.net on the soundstage tab!.

See you there!
