• Nightly Roundup #948

    Breezy time! You know, I wonder what the Breezies would call extreme flying for their kind? What sort of tricks would their version of the Wonderbolts do?

    Anyhow, hope you all are ready for the weekend! There isn't an episode tomorrow, but it at least gives us a weekend of rest, right?

  • Music of the Day #294


    It's too bad humans aren't immune to that diabetes thing. I know im not the only one that would live on cake. Who wouldn't? Seriously, cake is delicious. What a horrible situation when something so amazing comes with so many health consequences. How has science not found a way to make sure as healthy as eating a bunch of carrots? Why is this not a number one priority? The other day I saw an electric dog poop scooper. It created waves of vibrations to "clean concrete and other stained surfaces". Why is that even a thing? Why are the people inventing that not working on making cake healthy? Why did this paragraph include both cake a dog poop?

    Uhh anyway, music time! We have 15 tonight, you know how this works.

  • Story: In Her Majesty's Absence


    [Slice of Life]

    Author: PegasusMesa

    Description:
    Three days ago, the moon eclipsed the sun at midday before setting soon after.  Three days ago, a series of explosions rocked the Castle of the Two Sisters and the surrounding village.  Three days ago, Princess Luna disappeared without a trace.

    Ever since then, the sun has remained fixed in the sky, and all of Equestria has already begun to wither in the resulting heat wave.  Princess Celestia refuses to leave her chambers, and the only one who could reliably bring her forth, her sister, is nowhere to be found.

  • McDonalds - Happy Meals to be Based on Toy, Not Sex?

    (unconfirmed)

    We got this one in the email a few hours ago.  At the moment we can't confirm it, but apparently these (or at least similar versions based on restaurants) are making the rounds at various McDonalds locations.  The current line of toys requires order takers to ask "will that be a My Little Pony toy or a Skylanders toy?" as opposed to the usual girl/boy Happy Meal combo.  It wouldn't be too far fetched to believe that this is thanks to us.

  • Don't Mine at Night - Approved For Posting by Hasbro Legal


    Good news from the world of Hasbro legal workings. Jan Animations has gained approval to re-post the famous "Don't Mine at Night" video, starring Sweetie Belle and Button Mash. As the situation continues, it looks like Jan won't be able to announce anything publicly.  I think our favorite videos popping up over there is a good enough indication on what is going on. Let's hope to see the rest of the Button Mash line approved in the future.  Save out fan animations Hasbro!

    Get some Don't Mine at Night below the break in celebration!

  • Close Up Pictures of Pop Figures


    A seller over at Taobao has these guys up for sale at the moment, as is the norm for the Chinese website.  Hasbro seems to be throwing a lot of love in the direction of these pop figures for the Fall of this year.  As you can see from the lighter above, these guys are pretty small and completely customizable.  Manes, tails, wings, cutie pocks, it's all there.  I'm sure we will see loads more flood in as the year goes on.  Hopefully you collectors are in the mood for another merch line!
