Pony History of the Day: Las Pegasus Unicon - And the Near Collapse of Convention Guests

The year was 2013, and the Brony fandom had just begun ramping up it's convention domination.  We had a few major successful events under our belt, but behind the scenes, Hasbro was still trying to figure out how open they should be in terms of show guests attending community sponsored events.

When Las Pegasus Unicon first contacted us, we were pretty excited. The thought of taking our pony friendship entourage to vegas sounded absolutely awesome. Even if the event itself was boring, we had an awesome city to explore.

How could a convention in one of the cheapest vacation destinations to stay at and fly to, possibly fail? Somehow, this one pulled it off! Learn the behind the scenes tale below the break!

Amazon Solicits My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Omnibus Volume 3

For those looking for a pretty sweet deal with collecting the MLP Comics in a physical format, you really can't get a better deal than the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Omnibuses. Thirteen issues for $24.99 ($1.92 an issue) really is a pretty sweet deal.

And like all trade paperback releases, what's coming in the future is often solicited by Amazon months in advance. Well, the third volume of the Omnibus Series has been listed on Amazon with a tentative release date of June 16th, 2016.

The volume will collect the entire third year of the Friendship is Magic comic series. If you missed that part of the series when it was initially coming out, Amazon has gladly provided a description of the contents to remind everyone of what stories were told.

The adventures continue as the group heads to Canter Creek to investigate a shady land deal; problems near the Everfree Forest start affecting Ponyville; Cheerilee visits her sister; the town gets split into two factions over Ponyville Days; bad apples come alive at Sweet Apple Acres; and an enigmatic new foe brings together some of the most villainous characters in Equestria. Collects issues #25-37 of the ongoing My Little Pony comic series.

If you feel so inclined, you can pre-order the volume from Amazon.com here.

Gameloft New Zealand Shut Down - Home of the Pony Game

Gameloft has been shutting down studios left and right according to Gamasutra. Seven have already fallen under the chopping block. The studio apparently responsible for the My Little Pony game is the most recent in hits, with their New Zealand office closing and 160 employees laid off.

What will this mean for the game? I'm assuming it's still profitable considering the updates slowly trickling out still. Chances are development will be switched over to one of their many other studios, or the new one in Nigeria.

Or maybe the dream will happen, and Hasbro will throw some money into a real pony game. I still want my Elder Scrolls: Equestria Hasbro! Make it happen...

Thanks to Scortex for the heads up!
