New MLP Commercial Reveals a Little More of Season 8!

Twilight is one happy pony because it looks like we have a new commercial advertising season 8 that has some footage we haven't seen before! Sure it's short as usual, but any new footage is awesome, right?

Get it after the break and thanks to MegaSean45 for sending it in.

Music: Blackened Blue - The Rising Sun [Metal]

Blackened Blue's been making some awesome metal stuff recently, and it's great to hear the improvement in their sound lately. This Daybreaker-themed track is full of awesome riffs with energetic percussion and some great guitar. Make sure to check it out below!

Discussion: You've Survived a Nuclear Apocalypse! Pick a Team to Survive

Nuclear war finally went ahead and got itself over with. The majority of the world's population has been completely obliterated, but there is good news! One of the bombs triggered some weird multi-dimensional reaction and opened a portal to Equestria. The ever-benevolent Twilight Sparkle has stepped through and offered to help you, for research of course.

Three ponies she will summon to help you survive the harshness of the wasteland. Any cartoon horse you want, from OCS to the mane cast. For whatever reason, they are all more than willing. Twilight Sparkle cites Science. In your desperate and lonely situation, you don't question it.

Now choose! Pick three ponies that will help you survive the apocalypse, or at least keep you from getting bored.

I know this day is supposed to be on the 27th but some of you raised good points that it is on an episode followup day so I've decided to move the day ahead one day so that nothing will interfere with it! That's right, it's time for some music as we celebrate Vinyl and Octavia Day!

As usual for our appreciation days please send all of your plushies, media, comics, art, and so on to [email protected] with V&O Day in the subject line followed by what sort of material you are sending in.

Ah, so it was a nightmare after all! Things are looking pretty serious for our friends. I hope they can solve this problem before things get out of control.

Music: AnNy Tr3e & DJ Shadow Music - Rebirth [Progressive House]

AnNy has teamed up with Shadow to release a super cool upbeat progressive house tune in all its classic anthemic style. The composition is fun, energetic and memorable, whilst the synth design is spot on. There's also some nice subtle vocal chops in the breaks to mix it up a little. Check it out below!
