With all of the Nightmare Rarity pictures popping up it really makes me want to actually read the comic series. I've got to get on that someday.
Anyhow, not much in the way of news tonight guys! Literally the only news item tonight is cake followed by the usual meetup, merch, history, and new groups info. Hopefully it will be more substantial tomorrow.

I guess it's a pegasus thing? More hot pants have shown up on Hot Topic's website. Sadly it looks like only Derpy has the buy three get two free deal, so you can mix and match these and collect 'em all... assuming some of you are collecting them.
Anyway, find some Fluttershy hot pants over here! This time around, we already have an image floating about the internet of her wearing Rainbow Dash pants, so I guess we can skip the requests.
Thanks to Christopher for the heads up! -

ZOMBIES! That's the topic of news networks everywhere as both Equestria and Earth are taken over by a horde of angry brain eaters. It seems a certain disease that was no more dangerous than the common cold in ponyland transformed into a virus with apocalyptic goals in mind after coming in contact with a human host. Now both ponies and humans are roving the world seeking organ "donations" and creating an army of dead in their wake. Is that scientifically possible?! Who cares! It's ZOMBIES.
You have partnered up with three ponies, each with their own strengths and weaknesses in an attempt to survive the undead onslaught and travel to a research facility in northern Equestria with a new strain of the virus that could save all of pony and humankind!
Below the break, you will have a bunch of pony party members to build your team out of! How will you survive the zombie apocalypse? How will you save both Equestria and Earth? Drop your setup and plans in the comments!
Update: Now with a Poll on the side bar for your #1 Choice
-
Acoustic and Electronic battle it out in this vocal post! Which style of music is superior?! What time do you all like the most?
Honestly I should probably run a poll on that some day.
Anyway, have a new one from ElectroKaplosion with Forest Rain, followed by an Applejack track with Joaftheloaf and Megaphoric.
1.) The Sun Rises (Feat. Forest Rain)
2.) Honest Me (Album Teaser)

I think I have a thing for ponies in pointy hats. I don't know what started it but it's scaring me.
Have some art while I dig into my brain for past experiences that may have caused something like this.

You can check out their website here! -

Some more interesting news from Nayuki, a layout artist from the show. Like some of you, I noticed a distinct lack of both Lyra and Bonbon in the movie and there is apparently a reason for that! According to Nayuki, the students you see running around the movie are not actually based on any background pony designs which means, as Nayuki points out, you all are free to design not only pony versions of background characters from the movie but EqG versions of background ponies from the show.
Things might contain slight spoilers for the movie after this point, so proceed at your own caution.
So what exactly is a background pony then? I mean, we saw Vinyl Scratch in the movie so what is she then? Well, according once again to Nayuki, characters like Vinyl Scratch, Cheerilee, the Cakes that showed up are actually secondary characters while background characters are ones that are used for crowd filler and are ponies they aren't afraid of cloning if they have to fill a large crowd. The more you know!

Ponies have moved on to the world of learning games, via Leapfrog. It looks like the goal of the game is to complete a series of challenges and recover the Elements of Harmony to defeat Discord. The Leapfrog Website has a trailer up that explains it all in detail, or pick it up on Amazon where it is in stock.
