Nightly Roundup #47

You guys asked for it!

Octavia is now the BEST PONY

TO THE NEWS! 




Utah Brony Meetup!



A meetup went down a few days ago in Utah lead by Circuitmane from the brony show.

It looks like it was once again, a success. You can find some videos of it below!

Meetup Part 1/Part 2


Canv.as Brony Community and Their Crazy Memes

A Group of bronies has been slowly building away over at Can.Vas, a site dedicated to modifying images with various ridiculous things. 

Recently they created a compilation of ponified Fry from Futurama.  You can find that stuff, and their community,  here!


Streaming Bill Crashed and Burned in Senate

A while back, Cereal reported on a new bill being passed that everyone exploded over.

Apparently it got axed!  I think most of us expected that anyhow though.


Pony Chat Live Podcast Unboxings!

The people over at the Pony Chat Live cast went around and collected all of the Canterlot toys from Target last night, and did a segment on their experience of buying them, and unboxing everything.  If you are planning on making the trip to target, it might be a helpful bit of information for you!  The cast can be found here!


Voting Re-Opening on Welovefine.com 

The Officially Licensed MLP Tee-shirt site, Welovefine,  is planning on re-opening voting later today for their 1000 dollar Tee-Shirt contest.  Sadly,t he poor site couldn't take the traffic!  I blame all of you.

You can find the page here for when it's available!


Music Review Podcast

I bet your mp3 players are about ready to explode thanks to this fandom.  Someone over on FA is reviewing various fan made songs, as well as a few from Daniel Ingram.  You can find it here!


Deadly Space Action Plugs Ponies!

It's subtle but youtube series "Deadly Space Action" recently dropped a pony reference in their 108th episode.  You can find it here!


Harvets Moon Pony Game Seeks Assistance!
Daww, look at that Harvest Moon pony! How could you resist?  All she needs is:
  • Pixel Artists
  • Spriters
  • Tileset Artists
You wouldn't leave her hangin' would you?

If you are interested in helping out, visit either the Ponychan thread, or the Canterlot forum post!

Or toss an email to killerjaguar26@gmail.com


145 Card Magic the Gathering Set!

Another set of cards has popped up for everyone to add to their pony collections.  I'm curious, has anyone actually built a deck out of all of these yet?

Anyway, you can find it here!


Blind Bags in New Zealand

A Store called "The Warehouse" recently started stocking blind bag ponies.  It is unclear if this is a permanent thing, since they tend to have strange items occasionally.  Each one costs $5 (New Zealand Dollars that is!)


E-Reader Format Story Gallery

Maximillian Veers over on Deviant Art has added a whole bunch of new E-reader ready stories to his gallery.  If you prefer reading stuff on a kindle or other book style device, you can find them all here!


More Birthday Cake!
Eighteen years old and rockin a Pony cake. 

I jelly...


Equestria Daily News

AP Alistar is awesome.  Anivia is now on hold until he is nerfed (again.. poor cow gets hit almost every week!) .  If you have no clue what I am talking about, then don't worry about it.

Firleycat said...

"I will have you know that the show is very mature."
"How?"
"The ponies have machine guns"

Okay I nearly fell of my chair laughing at that.

Promoting FA going too far for bronies? You gentlefillies looked in the mirror lately?

Bronies hating on furries is stupid. We're doing the same thing only focused on just one single show. There's no other differences; like it, or hate it, that's how it is.

MLP Timelord said...

Seth you should really appear someday in the chat in LoL and atleast say hi or play a game or 2 with all of us =)

Sethisto said...

Don't start the furry drama thing again! Just don't click it.

WizardWannabe said...

Are blind bags being sold in the UK yet? I've looked locally and online with no luck.

Anonymous said...

Octavia...YES.
Next Bill got axed...MORE YES.
AP Alistar is awesome...ALL MY YES.
Current Eve...Queue Dodge.

mr-mushy said...

Yeah The Warhouse NZ has a bit of FiM merch. As for the Blind Bags, so far I have: Fizzypop, Lily Blossom, Sugar Grape, Flower Wishes, Minty and Twilight Sparkle (YUS!). Gonna go buy some more tomorrow.

8ftmetalhead said...

to anyone in new zealand, I found em in westfield downtown (auckland)
I'll be heading over to henderson tomorrow to check there too.
Just note, I did nick the flutter, dash, AJ and sparkly twilight.

If anyone else is around, chuck a post here

mr-mushy said...

@Peabnuts123

*Brohoof* Dude, we need some brony-cons here!

8ftmetalhead said...

Also mushy, where are you located?

SIaanme said...

@Rubidia

I knew we had to exist. Just in smaller numbers.

mr-mushy said...

@8ftmetalhead

Hamilton at the moment, moving up to Whangarei in the weekend. Stalk me!

8ftmetalhead said...

from west auckland? not really likely, heh.
Still, good to know there's some around.

We really DO need to set up a group, perhaps on FB to keep track of ourselves?
I've met a few myself but I've been busy and blah blah blah.

Anonymous said...

Gonna check the newlynn warehouse, then hit the westfield one. Fuck uni ima go tomorrow.

-Luft

Derpy Hooves said...

Yeah, the Streaming Bill didn't really have much chance of passing. They knew there would be a ridiculous and bad reaction from the people if it had. And then they would have just had to repeal it anyway.

Heh, never seen Deadly Space Action before. But that was kinda funny and a fun watch.

Aren't we still waiting for the Blind Bags to be released in the US too? Wish they would finally.

Mmm, that pony cake looks good. I jelly too. Want one for my Birthday now. But I haven't gotten a Birthday cake since I was 12 or so. lol

Also, you're damn right Octavia is best pony!

8ftmetalhead said...

@8ftmetalhead

Plan of attack? Hit the newlynn unit, then henderson westfield, then downtown.

8ftmetalhead said...

Vulcan539 said...

26 x 5 = $130nz hmmm

Vulcan539 said...

we should be sorting this on facebook easyer to chat

8ftmetalhead said...

8ftmetalhead said...

Anonymous said...

Don't like furries? Too fucking bad. Grow up for once.

mr-mushy said...

Added, sorry. Was messing around in Photoshop.

Chris Lowrey said...

By the way Seth, Anivia isn't a he...

At least I hope not.

FoxOfWar said...

Oo, that's a lot of cards.

Collective Amnesia - "1UU - Sorcery. For each creature you control, target player puts top four cards from library to graveyard."

...I would play the heck out of that card in my Merfolk-Mill. Control three creatures, and it mills better than Glimpse the Unthinkable? Why yes, thank you! Who needs Traumatize anyway?

In other news, here's hoping we didn't permanently cause welovefine's servers to crash.

@Anon of 3:54
Yes, but we don't use rule 34 on every possible kind of what has skin+moves-ishuman

Bartekko said...

but it may be just me

GIR said...

Anyone else from Hamilton? there are 3 Warehouse stores (central, ham east and the Base) and I don't have the time to visit all of them.

Anonymous said...

No indonesian Bronies? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

mr-mushy said...

@GIR

Hillcrest confirmed to have them. If you happen to come in on Thursday, stop by Hell Pizza in that complex and I'll shout you a pizza. :D

Vicar Tom Warkidy said...

New Zealand got pony stuff? And not Australia? I call shenanigans! I mean, they're basically our Canada! This shall not stand!

8ftmetalhead said...

australia has blind bags. at toys r us. last i heard anyway.

Eamon Valda said...

@Vicar Tom Warkidy

Who're you calling Canadian? Though I fail to really see how that's a bad thing. Screw it, we're now Australia's Canada in my view. Thanks for helping me with that!

Rob Coale said...

And add another to my list of reasons to move to NZ.

Eamon Valda said...

@Rob Coale

You mean aside from sheer awesomeness?

SIaanme said...

@Eamon Valda

And people think americans have big egos....

Eamon Valda said...

@mr-mushy

If New Zealand is Australia's Canada, and Australia is New Zealand's Mexico, then what's the relationship between Canada and Mexico??

Anonymous said...

What? Am I the only one here so far who thought that crossing Harvest Moon with MLP FiM is one of THE BEST ideas that this fandom has ever come up with!?

That idea has an insanely big amount of potential. The excellence of "Friends of Mineral Town" combined with ponies!? HAY YES! They would fit perfecly together. They need to make a good traditional 2D Harvest Moon pony game, not that 3D stuff.

Go! Make that happen! I'm excited like a kid during christmas about this idea!

Cake? I guess there is a pony for that.

"We will definitely be back 20% cooler!"

Crimson Risk said...

Streaming bill axed! Fuck yes!

Anonymous said...

FA link is cool, I like this guy's taste in music. Only thing i would say about it is the sound levels could be adjusted a tiny bit so the background music is a bit quieter and make his speaking voice a tiny bit louder but that's it!

A very entertaining listen.

Anonymous said...

... Am I the only one who notices the Sollux cosplayer in the Utah meetup picture?

Ironside d'Windurst said...

The bottom line of that post reminds me that I need to go play LoL again, dust off Ashe and Anivia. :/

arexshortpaw said...

Pretty funny that bronies discriminate against furries when they are pretty much the same.

Anyway, good nightly roundup. Enjoyed watching the meetup vids.

Anonymous said...

lol don't tell me we've already crashed welovefine again

Firleycat said...

@Anonymous
I think we did, and just as the Facebook page plugs the website. I still haven't seen the designs yet. The page keeps crashing before I can get in.

Trying to get me to play League of Legends on Patch day.

Of Seth you so silly

PROPER GRAMMAR AND WORDING ON MTG CARDS! YESSSS!
As a judge, I always cringe when custom sets have abysmal wording on the cards. A dozen cards in and only one error (gets instead of gains on Cloudsdale). Whoever made this set really knows their stuff. Brohoof!

DoctorJellybeans said...

@Anonymous

Same here, that's why I made it. Thanks!

Though I'm sure there are PLENTY more errors D:

Octavia is the best pony? in the words of M. Bison, "YES...YES!...THIS IS DELICIOUS!!"...yay Octavia is my favorite.

Anonymous said...

I probably should have mentioned it when I sent it in, but by #108 it means Season 1, Episode 8 not episode 108. Sorry Seth!

Anonymous said...

So many typos in this!

Also, the bill is dead! HURRAY!

James Corck said...

My reaction to the bill getting cancelled -___- <- Not Amused.

I saw it coming from a mile away. I wish it was the same in Spain.

I feel sorry for Eve though losing her stun and all.

Another Pony MtG set is out? Shoot, I need to get back to work on the one I was making. D:

Sir Leadhead said...

You folks can thank Sen. Ron Wyden (Oregon) for saying 'lol no' to that bill ;)

although it wasnt really axed, just 'put on the shelf'.

which pretty much means axed, these days.

colt classic said...

Harvest moon ponies? That would be awesome!

Of course she's the best pony.
She has a bow-tie, bow-ties are cool.

@Garrett

You're not on PonyChan or the RDN group? We had a big discussion about it in both places.

Bit of confusion here, the pic is from the meet up last Sat, this vids are from the meet up back in June.

Did we destroy welovefine again? I really want to see and vote on the designs.

Anonymous said...

Moohooha. Axes that destroy unwanted bills are certainly some of the best axes.

Nittany Tiger said...

Wait. I've combed the internet for the status of S.978. I don't see any news of it being voted down. Where did the reporter of the status of S.978 get their news from?

DDDchu said...

Damn straight she's the best.

Eamon Valda said...

Went to both stores here in Dunedin, found no blind bag ponies. Disappointed :(

ProfesorRod said...

HURRAY FOR FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!! \o/

Also, anyone dissing furries, shame on you. One, You are not L&T and two, they are not porn spewing machines. Most are awesome artists that have contributed a lot to the fandom and lets face it, animal anatomy is their thing and *gasp* THEY ARE GOOD!

Anonymous said...

@ProfesorRod I don't mind furries.

But bronies =/= furries. Just because it's a show with talking animals doesn't mean we're part of their group. I don't get this desire of their to assimilate us bronies.

Anonymous said...

So.....the WeLoveFine contest.....how do the ratings scale? Is 5 good or 1 good?

Anonymous said...

Just so you know: it's either Canv.as or just Canvas. Not Can.Vas.

That's been a great thread so far. Lot of quality pony OC on Canvas #pony.

Anonymous said...

where can i get those giant sized molded mlp ponies?

Anonymous said...

No furries are trying to assimilate bronies into the furry fandom. Only thing ive seen sofar is furries pointing out thatbronies hating on furries for whatever reason is quite redicilous. For obvious reasons but if you missed it, its because furries and bronies do the exact same things down to the cosplay and collecting merchandise.

That said I'd be sad to see MLP mutilated and defamed in the way that a.o. Sonic has been. Let's please keep this fandom clean and PG, if only for the kids that will inevitably find this and other sites. That goes for furry bronies just as much as for 4chan /b/ronies!
Friendship is magic and wouldnt it be awesome if these little ponies can bring two groups together that have been 'at odds' since the birth of the chans?
