Music of the Day #610 (We lost recommendations in the comment purge!)

We lost about 3 days worth of comments as many of you noticed from the post the other day, including all of our Music of the Day feedback. If you left us either a name suggestion for the post, or general feedback, please place it down there again so we can have it for discussion.

This post should be migrating to a new name once we think of one.

Until then, we have one specific change going into effect 100% today. Music submissions require a (Type - Genre) label when sent in. (ex: Vocal - Rock). Be sure to include it or the song will be sent back.

We've also slightly tightened up QC, but not too much. Music of the day is always going to be a training ground style post, so most are welcome. If you want the best of the best, hit spotlight music.

Now go get some music below!

DEBATE - Are Unicorns Overpowered?

We have decided to try something new here on EQD to go along with all the editorials and other ideas you all brought up before our comments were wiped on the suggestion post. Someone mentioned Debates, and we thought that was a great idea!

One thing we always argue about here on EQD is the power level of unicorns in comparison to other races. Unlike our various human variants here on earth, the three tribes in Equestria have vastly different abilities and strengths. But where do unicorns fit in to the equation? Are they a domineering force that could replace any of the other races without much struggle? Or do they rely on pegasus and earth ponies to survive, even now?

Head on down below the break for the debate!

Drawfriend Stuff #1763

Taking a creepy scene in an episode and making it even creepier! I'd read a picture book in that style. For some reason it reminds me of one of those Halloween ones.

Below the break, PONY!

Discussion: What Movies Would You Show Each of the Mane 6 to Get Them Excited for Humanity?

That weirdly unstable portal to Equestria that scientists have been working on for decades is apparently slightly open. Their initial test found a way to teleport a power generator, DVD player, and flat panel TV over, but for the sake of not accidentally destroying everything, they are limiting the hole to the size of a disc laying flat.

One way transmissions from Equestria has revealed that the mane 6 are all eagerly awaiting on the other side of the disc portal (in Twilight's castle apparently) hoping for things to insert into their strange disc accepting device.

Considering you are such an amazing pony fan, the scientists behind the project have come to you to pick a DVD out for each of them. Something you think they would absolutely love about our world. Want to grab an action movie for Rainbow Dash? Or maybe some kind of comedy for Pinkie? It's up to you!

Pick 6 movies and assign each one to a pony that you think would love it!

Early Morning Discussion #386

I'm currently in Florida after a busy travel day so I'm probably all tucked into bed by this point (or playing on my tablet because sleep is for the weak, right?). Anyhow, I'll try and keep posting throughout my stay here as my GF has a new computer that I set up last time I visited.

Morning everyone! Chattering must commence!

Pony History of the Day: Friendship is Witchcraft

Through the years many memes have come and gone within our fandom but some from our earliest days still maintain a healthy following even to this day. I'm sure most of you out there have seen the curiously cute pictures of Sweetie Bot, like the one above, the phrase 'It's Not Creepy...' or have been confused why Shining Armor likes corn dogs so much.

Well, you guys can all credit the Friendship is Witchcraft series created by Sherclop Pones, a duo team led by Griffin Lewis and Jenny Nicholson. Starting back in 2011, the series was one of the first big FiM abridged series, giving us a cast of crazy characters and quite a few songs that were just as catchy as ones found in the show. Sadly they were also one of the big series hit by the numerous Youtube takedowns over the the years, but has since been uploaded again.

Check on after the break for the episodes (reuploaded thanks to AstrumSpark) as well as select songs from the series! Special thanks to Armosk, GoatTheHatEater, and those from the previous posts before they were nuked for the suggestion!
