Bronycon Documentary Nears 300,000

Background Pony Creator Is Live, Awesome

We've had flash-based pony creations tools pop up before, and they did a pretty good job of emulating the show's art style while still fulfilling that need to see your personal ponies rendered in pleasing pixelated... I don't know, I was just using a lot of P words.

For those who are interested in that sort of thing, we now have access to a 3D pony creator that was created by the Ponykart team lead, Hoppip. It's very easy to use, though I had some problems with it accepting my cutie mark via the image picker. I had to override the cutie mark that loaded by default to get it to show. It's probably a problem on my end, as no one else had this issue. I think filly Cereal!pony came out well anyway!

You can grab the creator here.

Poll/Discussion: What Kind of Interview Do You prefer?

As ponydom expands and things become more complex, interviews and general media evolves right along with it.  Considering the EQD team is all new to the media scene and still learning the ropes, I figured I'd ask you guys this directly. What kind of interviews do you prefer?

We have discussed it pretty heavily internally.  I have always favored text based, so I can skip around to questions that interest me.  It's difficult to find an hour to really sit down and listen to a full audio one. My fellow EQD peers on the other hand prefer the more personalized experience of an audio interview, and actually hearing the person's voice along with the banter that goes along with it. 

We have also discussed different interview styles, things like roundtable and direct Q&A.  It's all stuff we would like to experiment with as we keep doing them. 

So which type do you all prefer? Drop your response in the comments below!

Anthony Bourdain Talks about Ponies on the Jimmy Fallon Show

Looks like all you crazy Twitter people left a mark on the guy. During his recent appearance on the Jimmy Fallon Show, Anthony Bourdain dropped a short minute long discussion about Rainbow Dash and bronies. Check it out after the break! The quality is a little low, but I think you will live.

And thanks to Brendon for sending it!

PMV/YTPMV: Equestrian Time

Lazy unicorns not using magic.


This isn't really 100% a PMV, or 100% a YTPMV.  It sort of falls in between.  It's still really well edited regardless though! Check it out below.
