I'm really looking forward to Ponycon next year! With the amazing growth the convention had this past year I can only imagine what they have planned for next year's event. Hope to see you guys there!
Now, on to the news my friends! Get it all after the break.
Tonight's Stories
The Cake Will Last Forever!
If only a cake could last forever! Now that would be something, eh?
Ponies In My Garden
Haven't seen one of these in awhile! Check out another video on ponies messing around in our world up above.
Ponies in The Daily Star
Another newspaper, another pony article! This one in The Daily Star takes a look at the fandom and what it is all about.
You can find it all online down below!
Check out the full story here!
Summon the Demons - A Short Animation
Have a short little animation of a certain OC trying her best at summoning.
Ticket to Ride: Equestria (Custom Map by Krysto and VikingErik)
Looks like another cool looking pony mod has come out! Check it out:
We have finally finished our custom MLP-themed map for the board game, Ticket to Ride.
This project was a fairly large undertaking between myself (Krysto) and VikingErik, and has been in the works for several months.
Ticket to Ride is a popular strategy game by Days of Wonder (http://www.daysofwonder.com/tickettoride/en/usa/) and seeing as how we play it rather frequently here in Bronies-NYC, we figured it would be great to make a custom version for all the pony fans out there.
After quite a bit of playtesting, the final version is ready and is available here: http://vikingpony.com/ttr/index.shtml - the site includes rules for the expansion, as well as downloads for the map, tickets and tokens needed in addition to the base game. All contributors are credited on-site.
Here's an image sample of the map itself: http://vikingpony.com/ttr/map-web.jpg
And here's the project header: http://vikingpony.com/ttr/header.png
(Both of the above files have been attached to this email as well)
This is a fan-made map and requires the base Ticket to Ride (USA or Europe) game in order to play. The map features a unique mechanic based around the Elements of Harmony. Instructions for printing/putting together the map is included on the site.
Thanks so much for reading, we hope folks out there enjoy the game, we've put a lot of time and effort into it!
Ponies Make Appearance in IBM Watson Trends Commercial
In this rather cute commercial, Twilight and Rarity make an appearance in an IBM ad demonstrating Watson's trend predicting powers!
Ponibooru Film Night
Poster artist DaisyHead here. This week we're doing a tv party so that means
a slew of cartoons. Here's what we got:
Wander over yonder: Cartoon made by Craig McCracken about an
intersteller hippy and his sidekick steed who travel the universe.
Bounty Hunters: Jeff Foxworthy got a cartoon. JEFF. FOXWORTHY. This is
that cartoon.
Mortal Kombat defenders of the realm: Because a mortal kombat kartoon
is hilarious.
Madballs: A cartoon about balls that aren't allowed to sing on their planet
so they go to earth so they can sing. It's a thirty minute commercial, of
course it's dumb.
Rugrats Preschool Daze: A rugrats spinoff so bad it was canned after airing
four episodes and no one knew it ever aired. But apparently you can watch all
the episodes online.
Mike Tyson mysteries: Mike Tyson in a cartoon about him solving
mysteries with a girl and a combination of the funky phantom and
gentelmen ghost as an homage to Scooby doo and Johnny Quest.
Miraculous Ladybug: Japanese-french-korean cartoon about a girl
who transforms into the Miraculous Ladybug to fight a mysterious
villain and his deomn butterflies that corrupt peoples desires with the help
of another hero named Chat Noir.
Frankenhole: Bringing back Frankenhole for a second round, this time Hitler
goes to Frankenstein to help him stop hating jews. Then it doesn't work as planned.
Moonbeam City: A cartoon about an idiot cop who destroys more than he helps.
It's like Archer meet's Hotline Miami.
One Punch Man: An anime about a man who accidentally trained himself to
be so powerful he can defeat any opponent in one punch. The problem?
He isn't popular.
Hosts for this week are:
DaisyHead
Feral_Socks
Roboshi
Psychopomf
Harlequin Jester
PonyCat
Location will be here: http://original.
Times will be Fri 11/20 4pm pst/ 7pm est/ 11:59pm gmt
Tonight's Successful Meetups
The Road to Czequestria (Documentary about CZ/SK Meet-ups)
Here you have a documentary more than 2 years (spanning more) in the making about the development of the CZ/SK (Czech Republic - Slovak Republic) Brony community leading up to the first Czequestria convention. It premiered at the second CZQ and today it finally got decent (at least I hope :) ) English subs.
Hope you like it!
San Diego Bronies Meetup
In late September bronies traveled up to Julian to experience the Julian Apple Festival. Apple pie was enjoyed by all.
In October bronies, including some from Los Angeles, went down into Ocean Beach and ate at Hodads Burgers, made famous in "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives".
In November bronies, including one from the Los Angeles area, took part in San Diego Beer Week by having our second annual pub crawl in the North Park neighborhood.
We all look forward to meeting many more visitors in January when we host Pacific PonyCon. Learn more at PacificPonyCon.com
