• Nightly Roundup #54

    I wonder if we will ever see Pinkie Pie's sisters in season two?

    Did they ever escape the rock farm?

    Anyway, have some news!

    MLP Reddit Page Raided by Parasprites+Contest!

    The MLP Reddit page is currently under invasion by a swarm of angry parasprites.  The only way to deal with this is to... give stuff out!  They currently have a contest going on for one of those stencils I posted earlier, involving the creation of a Zecora rhyme! 

    You can find more information here!

    iOS Pony Soundboard

    Someone over on ponychan is looking for suggestions on his iOS sound board. You can find the thread for it here!

    Ponies on Kotaku...again!

    Is this even news anymore? Anyway, Kotaku threw a Rarity up as the header image for an article on some crazy person demanding a company that sells virtual horse food to cut off supply so everyone's virtual horses die of starvation. Yes, this does actually happen. I'm amazed too.

    You can find it here!

    I feel normal now guys.


    Up-Coming, World wide, August Holidays!

    August is littered with random holidays, some of which may be relate-able to pony in some way. I know how much you guys love celebrating completely off the wall holidays, so here is a list sent from Fire Flash of various potential holidays in the month of August! Have some copy paste.
    Aviation Day 19. We need to thank our pegasi for the wonderful weather they bring us so diligently.

    National Aviation Week 15-21. And because one day is not even close to enough love, they get a whole week!

    Weird Contest Week 16-19. I guess somepony gave Derpy four days to express herself....We're all going to die aren't we?

    Friendship Day 7. It's a very magical day.

    Vinyl Record Day 12. DJ Pon-3 needs a day for us to rave in her honor too.

    Best Friends Day 15. Share the love of pony with your best friends, they need more pony...it's never enough. O.O

    Cupcake Day 18. What better time to have a party in Pinkie Pie's name?

    (World) Daffodil Day 20. This one....I got nothing, they love to eat these I guess? I dunno.

    RC Car Pinkie Pie Now Available



    I really hope they don't have vehicles in season two.  I can see being all over this if I was 12, but Applejack's pink truck would be so out of place in the actual cartoon.

    This thing is floating around now apparently for those of you who collect everything!


    Shark Week
    It's shark week...so have a dash shark from Eternal Equilibrium.

      ReplyDelete
    2. Fun fact: Mayor Mare is supposedly a "Blazing Saddles" reference.

      ReplyDelete
    3. Sock plushies? Does ponies in socks have a knowyourmeme page yet? Its a meme for sure.

      ReplyDelete
    4. That Luna in socks plushie hurts my soul...

      Quite a bit of interesting news today, I have like 7 tabs opened just waiting to be explored. Thanks again Seth!

      ReplyDelete
    5. I'm pretty sure I've seen that RC car over here before now. Maybe I'm just confused.

      Tonight's edition of iWant brought to you by the Socksy Luna plush! ANd Nightmare Moon painting.

      ReplyDelete
    6. The hood ornament/end of the controller antenna on the RC made me giggle, it's the earth pony from the top of AJ's prized pony trophy.
      Also, gotta agree that cars should stay out of the show.

      ReplyDelete
    7. octavia = pinkies sister
      but then what about the gray haired one?

      ReplyDelete
    8. @Roman500\
      Yeah, ponies in socks is one of our dedicated sub-memes, along with Derpy, Trollestia and (my favourite) the Sweetie Derelle.

    9. Spitfire...performs a striptease.

      Fucking furries make me unspeakably angry.

      ReplyDelete
    10. Socks... Yes!
      Striptease... Yes!
      NMM Painting... Yes!

      Now that is called raising the bar... ;)

      ReplyDelete
    11. Post ponies on Kotaku; cause shitstorm.

      ReplyDelete
    12. @Anonymous

      I overlooked that part as I was checking the news...when I realized what it was, I facepalmed.

      ReplyDelete
    13. SETH! how dare you...linking to tv tropes someponies are gonna get lost the while others may never come back

      ReplyDelete
    14. @Anonymous Here's a useful tip from me: just pretend it's not there since it's not going to hurt you. At all. Ready to move on? Because I am. Good.

      What were we talking about again?

      ReplyDelete
    15. I don't know why, but "Luna in Socks"' eyes scare me.

      ReplyDelete
    16. In after people saying I'm actually Pinkie's sister.

      That Geeks Next Door pony comic gave me a good laugh. It's all about the ponies. :)

      The Kotaku article made me go... "Wat?"

      Huh, several of those holidays this month can indeed pretty easily be related to the ponies in some way. Fun stuff.

      I saw that Pinkie Pie RC car at a Toys R Us a week or two ago. I didn't get one though. Didn't have the urge to buy it enough.

      Dash shark is of course best shark. Just wanted to say that.

      Good thing the Bronycon PMV Contest is back on again. Seems like there were many upset and disappointed people when it was announced it has cancelled. I'm sure they'll love this news.

      Yay, Luna in socks plushie. I can't recall there being one before this. Though it seems like it shouldn't have taken near this long for one to have come about.

      I saw that too about Celestia Radio now getting live DJ's. Took a while. lol But that's good. I thought about DJing for them before. Actual DJing. But my equipment is still laid up. *mumbles*

      And lol "Cougar Mayor" of Ponyville. That term came to my mind for her as well. Without reading fanfics about her. I don't know why. I guess she just has this "look" that makes me think "Cougar".

      ReplyDelete
    17. TVTropes guides? With two FiM pictures? That's just plain awesome.

      And OMG Celestia radio has DJs now? MUST LISTEN

      ReplyDelete
    18. Screw the car, they should've made a remote controlled Pinkie. That would've been much better.

      ReplyDelete
    19. Yay! Aviation week! Time for this flight attendant pegi to celebrate! :3

      ReplyDelete
    20. Still no BoTS update. WHY CAN'T I GET TWIXIE OUT OF MY HEAD. I can't even think straight anymore at school. My head is all like Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie Twixie.

    21. Meh, I bought the 2 singles of "Spitfire is performing a striptease" yesterday D:

      Not a pity anyway, this guy deserves my money. You should check out his first album, it's really awesome, and it's only 7$. Listen it. Buy it. Right now.

      I said "Right now"!

      ReplyDelete
    22. That pasta review was pretty dissapointing. That said the descriptions he gave were consistent with uncooked food like that. If he didn't heat it up in a pan then I feel sorry for him.

      ReplyDelete
    23. I'd planned on putting this in the comments of the pasta review, but there doesn't seen to be a comments section so here will do.

      As a British brony, I have to disagree with the review. Any British kid that grew up in the 80s/90s ate atleast their own body weight in these sort of pasta shapes whilst growing up and will probably back up what I'm about to say.

      Put simply, if it tastes of fire and charcoal, you've burnt them, they don't look burnt but trust me they're burnt. Cooking these pasta shapes is an art rather than a science, you can use you fancy mathermatics to follow the times it gives you on the can but the truth is those times have huge variations depending on who quick your hob heats, how quick you started cooking after turning the hob on etc etc.

      Again, any British Bronies know exatly how these taste, esspecially the sauce. There is no sauce comperable to the heinz tomato sauce that, seriously you could drain these shapes out of the sauce and put them in the sauce of some other brand pasta shapes and I would be able to tell and would throw them at you for wasteing the heinz sauce.

      I don't want to go on any further but I'll finish with this for any American Bronies that are reading and have got their hands on a can, microwave them, The pasta will taste wrong compared to hob cooked ones, but it'll make sure you don't burn that delicious sauce

    24. Did I miss Nightly Roundup #53 somewhere?

      ReplyDelete
    25. Actually, it's not a Luna in Socks plush... It's a Luna plush that happens to have perfectly sized hooves for the Target Pony socks! So I slipped them on and snapped a shot. She seems to enjoy them.

      ReplyDelete
    26. Who gave Pinkie a car? She'll kill everyone.

      ReplyDelete
    27. And yeah, the pics and personal review I sent about Twilight Sparkle's Balloon toy like three weeks ago are still lost somewhere in Sethisto's mess...

      Guess some people are fortunate, and I'm not one of them :(

      ReplyDelete
    28. Come to think of it, I think it IS Nightly Roundup #54.
      We skipped #53, but there were two Nightly Roundups numbered as #44, so yeah, #54 is in fact correct. :P

      ReplyDelete
    29. ok the Spitfire mus1c.. is good music if I am trying to navigate through a city like Dallas or NYC.

      If someone builds a decent Luna or NightmareMoon plush, I would like to make a deal on it... it has to be a smaller 'beanbag' size that would fit on the right side of the dashboard.

      ReplyDelete
    30. Rainbow shark is best shark. I would care more about this week if we could involve ponies into it like this more often.

      ReplyDelete
    31. Pinkie Pie driving a car... I have a feeling that idea is a very unsafe one.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Actually, now that I think of it, I can totally imagine a scene with crazy Pinky in her car chasing Applejack in her truck through the streets of Manehatten.

      ...and, yes, still complete with the cardboard cutout of Twilight in the back.

      Why, I don't know, but I think it'd be hilarious.

      ReplyDelete
    33. I was gonna check out that radio thing but the URL disturbed me. Ponify.me? I voted "no" on that Trixie poll. D:

      ReplyDelete
    34. All this fuss over simple, little me?

      Why, I'm simply FLATTERED, darlings! But you should really speak with a consultant about those outbursts of yours. All that stress does HORRORS to one's complexion, and I just can't BEAR to be the emotional instigator!

      ReplyDelete
    35. So the pasta tasted horrible, I can't say that i'm surprised. Most of that stuff taste awful. I did meet someone once who was selling Pokemon curry and she said that it was fun to have around the house to show people but not to serve it.

      A Pinkie Pie RC car, Why is that something that I can see happening in the show as a prank. Like say Gilda comes back and tries to out prank Pinkie Pie.

      ReplyDelete
    36. ATTENTION EVERYONE:

      The full EP has just released 5 minutes ago. 9 songs for $3.99. GO AND GET IN NAO!!!

    38. THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THE ROCK FARM. THE ONE KNOWN AS "PINKIE PIE" WAS AN ANOMALY.

      YOU WILL DIG THE ROCK.

      YOU WILL COLLECT THE ROCK.

      YOU WILL LOVE THE ROCK.

    39. @Silva Hound

      Judging by that first track alone, Spitfire has to be busting out some seriously sweet moves to that beat. :D

    41. Do you have to send in your eBay custom merch links if you want it to be featured in a nightly roundup?

      ReplyDelete
    42. The Otakon meet up was a total blast like I said before. Totally worth it to hit an anime con and then 1/2 of the time just hang out with bronies lol.

      Spitfire striptease... wut? lol

      The rainbow dash as a shark is kind of funny, interesting concept non the less lol. But now, watch it become a trend to take the characters of the show and depict them as different creatures. ( In B4 fluttertree reference lol )

      ReplyDelete
    43. Uh, yeah, about Spitfire...one of the things I hate about furry art is its penchant to put animal heads on human bodies, so that, in this case, a pony has boobs. Where ponies NEVER have boobs. Yeucch.

      ReplyDelete
    44. On Website of Dutch ToysXL they have new ponysets.

      Raritiy's Carroussel Boutique E 40,-

    46. lol. Anyone ever seen Giant Spider Invasion?

    47. Cross-posted from Nightly Roundup #52 regarding the PMV contest:

      Hooray!

      Yeah, that was the whole post. It needed to be said again, though.

      Are the rules the exact same, I wonder? The 'no watermarks' thing seemed just like Suwako's personal peeve. I could be wrong, though. I'll go look around and see if Tinker's posted something more in-depth on her Deviantart, perhaps.

    48. I know it's early but a day to consider for next month, September 18 is the birthday of U.S. Air Force.

    49. Yay, the gallery was featured... but not by itself. Oh well. I hope that the Artist Ponies manage to find it.

      ReplyDelete
    50. I've always expected something advertised on EQD to do threw the roof, but the ebay things usually dont get to popular, i wonder why..

    51. Maybe season 2 will have an ep where the gang visit the rock farm or something

      Seriously yeah. Its fucked up. Is nothing sacred?

    53. I thought somepony has finally made the awesome Spitfire picture into a complete set, so I rushed by the link.

      And I found out it was a music album. Now I'm sad.

    60. In the Kotaku article, on man makes a post bashing MLP and everyone immediately jumps on him, the thread completely abandoning the original topic.

      Our fandom is simply amazing, in so many ways.

    61. Cupcake day, eh?

      Make them with assorted rainbow flavors. Mwahaha.

    62. @Anonymous

      It won't compile those files for you if you do, though... I add a title page and Table of Contents for each story I do.

      Also, the limited experience I have with eReaders suggests there's not much in the way of file structuring or organization... which means multi-part stories become a pain to read, because you get one MASSIVE list with all the chapters in it... Fallout: Equestria is a good example; 35 separate files for one story? No thanks.

      ReplyDelete
    63. Ugh... Second Life... Selling virtual pet food... Starving virtual ponies fires sues... really?

      And AJ's tastes like smoked pasta. lol, what a shame.

      And to end my comments in a nice tone I'd like to-OH MY GOD! *becomes a roadkill thanks to Pink's driving*

    65. A toy that would be true to the show would be Scootaloo on on an RC stunt scooter. Scootin' Scootaloo with wing flappin' action!




      Actually, such a toy does exist but...
      A) It's a crappy design. She's not doing any stunts on that monstrosity.
      B) It's a previous generation's Scootaloo. She's not a pegusus.
