• Nightly Roundup #19

    Derpy Edition!

    I'm scheduled for a ton of hours this week at work.  Be prepared for typos abound as I post everything in a daze!  As always, feel free to email me when you see me completely butcher the spelling on something or forget to add a page break. 

    Onward to the news! I don't really have time for anything crazy on this one, so apologies if it's a bit boring.  It still gets the information across though.



    Finnish Pony Forum

    For all of you Finnish bronies out there, a forum has been set up to discuss all things FiM! You can find it here!


    German Pony Opening Redone

    CrimsonxStudio over on Youtube has redone the FiM German opening with some fan dubs of their own! You can find it here!  Which one do you guys think is better?


    Ponies Invade:

    This very brief section (again, sorry! I'm really backed up from work) will be dedicated to ponies invading various websites!

    Zelda Universe
    Via a Ponified version of the new Skyward Sword's main villian.

    Huffington Post
    Plugging the Wu-Tang video from a while back.


    Podcasts Mentioning Ponies

    Two podcasts have recently added ponies to their discussion lineups.  You can find both below!

    The Geek Report (Using the the second best pony as a picture!) 

    The Fwooshcast


    Custom Pony Necklaces

    Rainbow Dash definitely has the best cutie mark, no doubt about that!  I'm pretty sure using the entire Mcdonalds Rarity is cheating in some way though.



    Rainbow Dash can be found here!

    Rarity can be found here! (For sale apparently)  



    Papa Gino's Joins the Celestial Dictatorship


    A Brony working at Papa Gino's has modified the sign to be at least 20% cooler and sell at least 300% more pizza.  Keep up the good work!







    Minecraft Humanized Pony Skins

    Never was a fan of humanized pony, but I guess it fits considering minecraft characters are shaped like that by default! You can find them all at the links below!



    Dave and Chuck Convert More to the Herd

    Someone posted this up on Lauren Faust's DA.  Apparently hearing Dave and Chuck's bombardment of bronies on air actually had the opposite intended effect.  Hopefully this wasn't the only convert.  FiM receives nothing but praise. 




    Equestria Daily News

    Fluttershy

    Fluttershy is the best pony.  This has been confirmed with actual science.  Unfortunately I need to wait a week before I can publish the results, but you trust me right?


    Equestria Daily Winter Wrap Up Parody

    Someone wrote a parody of Equestria Daily as a whole, following the tune of winter wrap up! You can find that here!



    And that is it!  Now off to organize that monster of a side bar... I really need an automated way to do this.

    4. That Brony convert who posted on DA made me smile. It's awesome to see a repentant parasprite learning to embrace love and tolerance.

    5. Alright now we just need a sung version of those lyrics for some kind of anniversery or something.

    8. Yeah, sure Fluttershy is the best pony, after Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Derpy Hooves.

    12. Yes! It has been done. Fluttershy is the best pony, confirmed and validated by none other than Sethistro!

      ReplyDelete
    13. I'm disappointed in apology brony's friends for allowing a radio show to tell them how to think. At least he learned from his mistake and will hopefully be able to apply it to future scenarios. Even if he didn't like the show, I'd still be proud of him for deciding of his own accord whether or not he enjoys something by giving it a chance; instead of blindly following someone else's misinformed opinion bandwagon.

    16. Typos, such as calling it 'Nightly Update' instead of 'Nightly Roundup'? :D

    17. You don't need science to know Fluttershy is best pony.

    23. If I didn't suck at singing, I'd do the lyrics XP

      Seriously, someone get on that, it is friggin' awesome, and I'm already singing it under my breath.

      Need, well sung, mp3 version.

      ReplyDelete
    24. Yay good news! I love good news!
      That pizza sign made me crack up.
      Also, that apology letter was pretty cool.

    25. Listen to Fwooshcast, I had to fight long and hard to get them to talk about Ponies.

    26. Equestria Daily Winter Wrap Up Parody IS AWESOME! we need to get the voice actors to sing this

      ReplyDelete
    27. That letter kind of reminds me of myself before I joined the bandwangon.

      I thought the show looked preety peculiar and frankly, dumb. But then my curiousity got the better of me, and I do not regret watching the show. (You guys probably don't want to hear th e whole story I'm just cutting it short.)

      ReplyDelete
    28. Why is it that the most popular pony (according to science) is the one pony I can't stand? :/

    30. It makes me smile to see someone open up and apologize like that. It shows a higher level of maturity ^_^

      ReplyDelete
    31. @Umandsf

      Would you rather Twist be the popular pony? Seth can do that, you know... he just chooses to be merciful.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Fluttershy is the second best pony in my book. Rainbow Dash is 20% Cooler than Fluttershy.

      ReplyDelete
    33. Quick suggestion, Seth: Do you think you put a link to the speedfic event results on the top page like you do for the artist training grounds? The two events have a lot in common, but the speedfic event got pushed off the front page way too fast considering the HUGE volume of awesome content it produced.

      ReplyDelete
    34. That Pizza Place is so awesome. If I saw that driving I'd very likely run in and talk ponies with somebody.

      Also that apology letter was really nice to hear. It's a relief to see people who heard about it through that radio show may have actually taken the time to watch it and see just why we love these ponies so much.

      ReplyDelete
    35. Sill fillies, that's not how you spell Twilight Sparkle.

      ReplyDelete
    36. @ Kujiiro
      I hate hearing Twist talk, it hurts my ears.
      I personally think that Fluttershy is the best, but that's because, like her, I love animals (but unlike her, I don't give mice casts and a wheelchair. I'm also socially awkward on a level in between pre-friendship Twilight and Fluttershy. But like Fluttershy, if someone has something awesome like a cat (or in her case, a baby dragon), I have no problem talking to them.

      ReplyDelete
    37. So to sum it up, every one person becomes a Brony, two people are now MLP haters. Shut up about the 'there is no bad publicity' thing. You're just lying to yourselves.

      ReplyDelete
    38. i stood out of my chair and clapped after reading that DA comment, good for him.

      and that Pizza bronie deserves a mega brohoof.

      ReplyDelete
    39. There's no such thing as bad publicity. Not much else to say.

      Oh, and I ADORED that Nightly round-up parody! It's so well built around the 3 bloggers /)^ε^(\

      ReplyDelete
    40. @Dan Park Now now, my good man, no need to be bitter about it! It's best to keep on the positive side of things. I'm just sick and tired of all the negativity surrounding this shtick, but this just proves how people are capable of learning if they seek it.

      Publicity means they hear about us and it's inevitable that we're going to get bad press, but there's no need to cry about it or bemoan that fact. Been there done that and all. But at the same time, more people will be curious about the show.

      Stay positive, fellow bronies! :D

      ReplyDelete
    41. Oh, we're mentioning podcasts that mention bronies now? 'Cause "A Couple of Cold Ones" over at Spill.com mentioned them a little while back. Somebody sent an email asking if they knew what the word "brony" meant and if they were fans of the show. They didn't, so they quickly dismissed the question. *shrugs*

      ReplyDelete
    42. Hmm.

      I'm somewhat divided on the German intro remake. On the one hand, the voices are definitely more fitting. On the other, I can't understand them. Having taken three or four years of German in high school, I could get most of the official one, whereas I can only pick out a few words of the new one. How much of this is enunciation and how much is vocabulary I couldn't say. I realize that high school German-as-a-foreign-language isn't equivalent to German learned at home as a first language, but it's something to keep in mind.

      ReplyDelete
    43. Much as I'd like to see the crappy media representation be less crappy for us, the dA letter looks super fake...

      ReplyDelete
    44. (German speaking Brony here)
      I really dislike the German intro in both ways, the voices are way to childish and more in a to sweet way and also taking out the character uniqueness and style. Also the way Pony is pronounced in the opening sounds really weird in comparison to the US version. It also kinda sounds like its spoken by on person and not in a sound studio, i hope its done better in the series so we can affect more bronies, but also transition Lauren's spirit, so that children and their parents could watch the cartoon together as intended.

      PS: i really like the Winter Wrap Up Parody <3

    46. Even though, this isn't related to the post i'm commenting on...

      In the newest poll, "Best Introductory Episode (Science Says these are the only ones!)", you can't vote for "The Mare In The Moon"! Why are you doing this???

      ReplyDelete
    47. I couldn't help but sing along with that Nightly Roundup! Need to have a vocalless version of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyrAkwJ6WsY&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_341009 and add some bronies to do the voice overs to match the ques when the ponies sing.

      In either case I found it to be an awesome parody I sing along with the Winter Wrapup theme XD

      ReplyDelete
    48. Even if it is fake, I don't think there's any harm in showing that we're a cool community who actually have a conscience and are kind online people. Even if he turns around and shows that he's fake, who cares? We'll take it in stride and shrug our shoulders. It's not as if we haven't dealt with parasprites maturely before.

      Let's just spread the acceptance!

      ReplyDelete
    49. We already knew that Fluttershy was best pony... right?

    52. Seeing a troll apologize for being a troll, Now that is something you don't see very often.

      Because of Zelda universe, I'm going to hear all of Debbie's dialog with Rarity voice. Not the first time that happen, I played through New Vegas hearing Applejack's voice for the courier because of some fan art.

      ReplyDelete
    53. About the letter of apology, we call people like these who ripped on the fandom trolls and parasprites, and even the guy himself said he came to think of his friends as being shallow.

      But honestly now, before our first experience with the show, didn't most of us think the same thing? I don't think many people watched the first episode expecting to like it. I think we can afford more empathy to these people than to call them trolls, because a lot of us probably thought this brony stuff was crazy bull**** at some point too.

      ReplyDelete
    54. @Anonymous Exactly! Besides, he sent that apology to Lauren Faust herself!

      ReplyDelete
    55. The Nightly Roundup: proving once again that it is quite literally impossible to hate this show once you have watched it.

      I love this place.

    56. Silly Sethisto! That's not how you spell Rainbow Dash. :D

      ReplyDelete
    57. On bad publicity: bronydom could take a lesson from Christianity and realize that, if what you're doing is truly blameless, outside hatred only serves to make you stronger and spread the message faster. And so far it's working.

    58. Fluttershy!? That's not how you spell Trixie!

      ReplyDelete
    60. I agree with @Anonymous. I can't say I personally went into MLP expecting it to be bad, but I know what it's like to be part of a group of friends who picks on things like that.

      What bronies need to remember is that, in many places, there is a stigma attached to guys liking girly stuff. It's one thing to say to be true to yourself, and don't get me wrong, I do think that's important. But it's also worth remembering that everyone still has their social lives to consider, and it's hard to choose what type of community you live around, especially when you're sixteen.

      It's also human to be dismissive of something you haven't tried yourself, especially if you're just going by the word of someone you generally respect. And in some cases, dismissal is not only human, but practically necessary for social survival. The friends mentioned in the apology letter sound like the type of guys who bond by picking on stuff. If you don't go along with that, you lose your friends; indeed, the one who wrote the apology letter is apparently already preparing to do that.

      Speaking as someone who has had similar fallouts with friends over matters of being overly harsh to people who don't deserve it, I just want to say that it takes major guts to do something like that, and I'm proud of the guy for being willing to make that leap to stand up for himself and others. These might be the only friends this guy has, and they're not necessarily bad people, just typical teenagers who are letting cynicism and groupthink get the best of them. I hope the writer can find some people he's more comfortable hanging out with.

      ReplyDelete
    61. @Zelda Universe:

      Debbie Pony is the best pony, since he is simply FABULOUS. More so then silly old Rarity. =P

      Also, there is a sizable brony following on the site's forums, including some of the moderators. ^^

      ReplyDelete
    62. @Anonymous You have a really good point. That person does have major guts to stand up to their peers.

      Just a note, though, after checking the poster's deviant art page, lovesherman is a female brony.

      I think at this point, it's true that no matter what your gender, standing up to your peers takes major guts, period :)

      ReplyDelete
    63. Thanks for all the love on the Nightly Roundup song, bronies! It just popped into my head one morning a couple of Roundups ago and I literally had it finished in under 15 minutes after initial thought. I was actually a bit surprised nopony else had done it before, once I thought about it.

      Anyways, yeah, a vocal version WOULD be awesome... and yes I can sing well, but I dunno if I'm the brony to do it.

      I'll mull it over today and get back to you all. As always, if you want to contact me about it, simply click on the link in my name! Then send me a dA note, or comment in my profile, or something.

      ReplyDelete
    64. That DA apology was amazing and that brony has earned much respect from me, good job.

      ReplyDelete
    65. At first, I was like the guy in the one post, when my friend mentioned the show and told me to watch it. After only a few seconds of episode 16 "The Sonic Rainboom" I was hooked. So, as a relatively new brony myself, I gladly welcome him to the herd.

      ReplyDelete
    66. If anybody actually listened to the geek report one of the guys (a brony) said he used to work for NPR and that they're going to interview him this week.

      ReplyDelete
    67. Oh nevermind. He was on the Bill clinton interview episode but they but him out.

    68. @Anonymous

      Whoops. Guess my first comment about guy-directed social stigmas was irrelevant, ahah.

      But yeah, that doesn't mean it was any easier for her to admit she liked the show, so it still stands as a praiseworthy achievement to me, for the same reasons mentioned.

      ReplyDelete

      You do realize that basically means less than nothing at this point.

      To the neighsayers who think the letter of apology is faked, here's the link to the actual comment.

      @Anonymous

      There's a like between trolling, which sounds like what was happening there, and disinterest. Nobody says you have to like the show, but picking on the people who do like it for no good reason just makes you a jerk.

      @ActionScripter9109

      *brohoof*

      @starsong

      Given the amount of support the creators have shown for us, I wouldn't be surprised if somepony got them to do that.
