Nightly Roundup #51

Why are ponies with katanas so awesome?  Does that make me a weeaboo?

Today is the International Day of Friendship technically.  I'm hitting up the Arizona meetup tonight to celebrate, what are you doing?

The MLP twitter is even on board! 

Have some news!



Fanfiction.net Adds MLP Character Sorting 

I guess it was inevitable!  There are over 1000 fanfiction uploads for Friendship is Magic over there.  You ponies sure do love to write...



Smosh Posts Ponies Again!

In their recent "aww yeeaa" guy compilation, smosh threw some rainbow dash into the mix.  I'm pretty sure shes the best one of the group!  You can find it here!


FiM heading to Poland

Over in Poland, a channel called "Mini Mini" is going to start playing FiM in October. Sadly, the channel is primarily for small children.  It's kind of getting the shaft over there... but at least it's going up!


Ponychan Colbert Report Event
Stephen Colbert has asked the internet to decide what his PAC should stand for.  He set up a website for it, and a bunch of people from ponychan are trying to get it FiM on the show.  Head over to the website and toss something good about the show in the "I Stand For" box in 110 characters or less.  Who knows if he will actually use it, but it would be pretty neat!

You can find the ponychan thread here!

And the website to submit to here

Magical Pony Theater 3000 Still Seeking More

Another group of bronies over on Ponychan are looking for a few more people for their ponified MPT3K project.  They need voiceover talent, and the deadline to audition is 11:59 PM EST.  If you think you've got what it takes, head over to this thread!


Slovakia EU Stocks Pony Toys

For those of you over in Slovakia, it looks like Tesco Mall is now stocking pony stuff.  Have an image!
Those 4packs are still pretty rare in the states.  Confound these other countries getting all of them!


Web Comics With Ponies Round 45! 

The Awakened Comic
Kila iLo (Requires some quiz thingy)


Pony MMO Project: World of Friendship LFM


Another MMORPG has popped up! This one running off of the World of Tanks engine.  They are currently looking for modelers, Python scripters, and pixel artists!  If you have the skills, and want to build some pony, head on over to their to this steam page and toss a friend request out. 


Staples Taken over by Pony Wallpapers


Jimmy over at staples got bored one day, and changed the backgrounds of all the displays to the Megasweet wallpapers from a while back.

This reminds me of my old Best Buy days.  I played many the game of bejeweled while bored out of my mind there.

I approve of the wallpaper thing and advocate its proliferation.

"Cupcakes Dash Plushie"? It can't be... *saw it*
WHY, OH GOD WHY

Bugsydor said...

Dangit, now I need to find those two wallpapers on the computers in front.

G. said...

Cupcakes Dash Plushie made me LOL

Monix said...

So is it gonna be a thing to start changing the backgrounds on the monitors in stores to ponies now?

If so, you can totally count me in.

You're welcome.

I'm not gonna get all douchey and say first.There are no pony toys where I live! :(

Zoronii said...

Oh god, I applaud you, Jimmy.

watermelonrat said...

I will be so happy if that Colbert SuperPAC ends up pony-themed.

Deathaura40s said...

A Cupcakes plushie? I have a hard enough time dealing with the trauma of reading that whenever I pass a bakery, yet alone having a constant reminder sitting in my room.

Then again, if there was a Cupcakes Pinkie Pie plushie in my room I would never sleep again...

Bugsydor said...

@A Terrible Person
Thanks; however, I had already located both wallpapers before refreshing this page.

Anonymous said...

Hahaha someone actually made a dismembered Rainbow Dash plushy. I must have it.

Northern Dash said...

I'm sending gifts all over the world for friendship day! ^_^

Half tempted to buy the Dash plushie, just to nurse it back to health :(

Anonymous said...

Geez, I still don't know if I should go to the meetup later... Is RSVP needed or anything?

Xort said...

I remember I once posted in the Colbert Report's forums in a topic trying to get bronies mentioned. Some trolls showed up and we loved and tolerated. It was cool.

Unfortunately, it seemed to go nowhere. Maybe this one will have more luck :D

Rubidia said...

Oh God cupcake Dashie...

Thattagen said...

A healthy love of katanas does not make you a weeaboo, Seth. In fact, I don't even know what does. I'm pretty sure it's just a word thrown around on the internet so people can make fun of other people that like things that they don't like.

Me? I just happen to have a few swords in my house. -ponyshrug-

Cupcakes Dash plushie?

>Plushie from a fanfic
Wow, the fanbase is compounding on itself. We still have alot of growing to do. Bronies ahoy!

Thanks for the update Sethisto, now I can sleep.

@Xort

You're here! WOO *hugs*

Man, I read that thread, you did an awesome job in the face of some very tough flamers. Even if it doesn't go anywhere, you did the rest of us bronies proud :D

Anywhoo, popped on the the colbert Superpac site. There's at least one more entry there making a stand for Love, Tolerance and MLP:FIM :D

Darth Equus said...

There is a Brony meetup here in Arizona...

which Sethisto is attending...

AND DARTH EQUUS, HARBINGER OF SITH PWNAGE WAS UNAWARE OF IT?

RAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

Arcane Scroll said...

The Staples thing reminds me of when I worked there, very layed back place but the pay kinda sucked. At the time I was obsessed with installing weird Japanese screen savers on all the computers. Much fun was had :)

DoubleMallow said...

OMG another Trixie-free post! wooo

Dashie said...

Pony screen savers are best screen savers ^_^

Octavia said...

Yes, you're a weeaboo, Seth. Yayy~ :)

As for what I'm doing in celebration of International Friendship Day.. absolutely nothing unfortunately. :(

Those four sets of molded hair ponies.. tell me about it. I still haven't gotten that set yet. They seem to sell out pretty fast. Sad Octavia is sad.

That pony with the purple hair in The Awakened Comic looks a little familiar... lol I'm kidding. The other comic made me giggle.

That picture of all the monitors with pony backgrounds is awesome. Spread the love and tolerance!

And lmao! The Cupcakes RD plushie... oh my goodness. This is just... lol That is certainly a unique plushie, no doubt. It's cute in a weird way too. Loving the bandages and all. XD

Wow lol Cupcakes Dash plushie is BEAST! But it's too small, I want life-sized Cupcakes Dash!... or just life-sized Dash... that would make all my dreams...

PH Brony said...

Smosh posted ponies again actually and this time they used it as the thumbnail when you are looking at the smosh pit main page.

Also after seeing this can someone answer this question: Where does this line By X's beard came from? You know like by Celestia's beard

StrangeNoise said...

using those wallpapers at home now, since i changed my home network naming scheme to ponies.

Had to make my own Luna wallpaper to match though. :-( (Not as good as the others, but luna.local is my main workbeast so needs must.)

Firleycat said...

Filling all the monitors in a store with pony wallpapers? Nice. Even if you don't like ponies, Its better than showing Avatar for the one billion time. Every time I go into a computer shop there is a monitor with Avatar on it. It could drive you insane.

Luna said...

Sethisto you forgot To post the writting guides :(

franky said...

>FiM heading to Poland
Thanks for the news, it will be the first time I watch TV since 3 years ;) Hopefully there will be 2 languages available.

Anonymous said...

I'm from Poland and I have strange feeling that they will destroy this cartoon with crappy dubbing. And Mini Mini? Come on!

StrangeNoise said...

pony-based avatar take would be too obvious to do wouldn't it? or has someone already done it?

Anonymous said...

Awwww yeah, FiM heading to Poland! Finally a reason to turn the TV on!

Anonymous said...

dont worry seth your not a weeaboo youre a trixeaboo

Skyshadow said...

Let's hope Mini Mini won't use these awful polish dubbs available on youtube.

I'm one happy brony from Poland :D

eaglehooves said...

I didn't realize the four packs were supposed to be rare in the states, it was the first pony thing I found/bought. Meijer seems to stock them pretty regularly, the one exception to their usually subpar pony section. Unfortunately they're a regional chain, so I'm pretty sure this only applies to Midwest bronies.

How come in the eBay section you guys left out that large minky Pinkie plush and Rainbow Dash custom Vans shoes?

Skylark Torch said...

Wow my best buy days are still going on. Any store that does that wallpaper thing with ponies though, It will in fact be 20% cooler.

blakestar15 said...

I am officially scared.

Anonymous said...

I want that Dash so I can give it a hug. ):

blakestar15 said...

wait, from the strory cupcakes at this point, is that the dead, stuffed dashie that pinkie pie stitched up, or is it a battered dash that escaped by some fate miracle chance?

Eaglehooves said...

@anon 6:18
I used to play NFS before I got hooked on ponies, and guessing from the Forza compilations from a while ago I'd say there are a bunch of car guys in the herd. It's just that we don't talk about what we did pre-ponies very much, you kind of have to ask.

Narwhals' Bend said...

How would I celebrate international friendship day? Wish I had friends.

Anonymous said...

@Eaglehooves Thanks, I guess there are. LOL I am mainly hooked on Initial D Arcade stage 6: AA (I live in Indonesia.) And I only got hooked on ponies during the month of June while Initial D 6:AA I discovered about 16 fortnights ago.

Frenchi said...

Hey. Hey guys. I just had a brilliant idea: you know when you can just TELL that someone is a brony? I call it... A NEIGHDAR.

twilightlover21 said...

For the love of all that is friendship!!! Who could create a dashie cupcake pony!!!
"curls up in balls in corner like fluttershy."

James Lyons/blingingjak said...

Hay guys if any of you are bronies out in Fillydelphia the Staples with those wallpapers is the one in Chestnut Hill at 700 Germantown ave. I work this Sunday 11-6. Come by and see me I am Easy tech jimmy, look for this name tag http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6008/5959314432_604991d1d4_z.jpg

@blakestar15

She's bandaged (and bled into the bandages) and she still has one wing, so I assume it's a relatively-good outcome where she escaped.

Springtime Blues said...

I did something similar to the wall paper thing in a phone shop. They leave a bunch of iphones on with internet access so you can play with them and then realise how crap your phone is, I set every iphone to Equestria daily.

bobmortar said...

FiM stuff in Slovakia:
Hey, those can be found in Hungary too! I already bought a 4-pack... too bad it doesn't have Fluttershy and Applejack - but I can't be greedy, right?

Also, Cupcakes RD plushie - why, in Celestia's name, would anypony want that?

Hurray for fellow staples bronies ;)!

Roeshanna said...

@James Lyons/blingingjak

Hey awesome Staples brony, I and another brony are conveniently located near there, so we might drop by later in the day if I get off from my work on time. It would probably be in the 5-6 PM range though, since I work until 4:30 and have to drive back.

Anonymous said...

I've never read Cupcakes, but that poor Dashie! I feel so sad. PINKIE PIE YOU BITCH!

arexshortpaw said...

I approve of the wallpapers.

Deni said...

hey, any slovak bronies?

Anyway, we even have blindbags here. ha!

Brony Bologna said...

Aw Seth, why use the term weeaboo? its pretty derogatory. It is always used in the negative. What happened to loving and tolerating the sh*t out of each other?

SonicTheHedgehog17 said...

I pray to Celestia the Polish dub will leave the names at normal, otherwise....

StyxD said...

FiM in Poland? FINALLY. I don't really have any means to watch it, but it's nice to know.

...who are we kidding, the names will be translated and it will be atrocious. Wanna guess what Fluttershy will end up as?
