Brony Infection

Someone has parodied the Left 4 Dead infection chart.  I think hes missing a part though... I can name a few people that watched the first episode, refused to continue, then came crawling back a week later.  That's an important step!

Good things do come out of staying up to 4:00 AM.

Aidinthel said...

I'm at late stage 3 infection and I'm quite comfortable here.

Flame Sprint said...

Might as well. I'm at stage 4.

Applejack85 said...

@Aidinthel

The first two items under "Merch/Ebay Stuff" are the same link.

Smashing Good Time said...

So you say we're trying to imply something, eh Sethisto?

I can't imagine why.

Laurence Brown said...

I fit the early stage 3 description very well, yet I also match the short description of stage 4 (love the show, write fan fics) so... what, 3.5?

I am oddly disappointed that the coloring pages are actually accurate picture of the people, not ponified version of said folk. And I don't know why; it isn't like I was going to color them or anything; last time I did that, was a couple of weeks ago, and I still don't have all of the crayon washed off my monitor screen yet!

And I'm also fearing for Apple Bloom's life right now. Surrounded by that many critters that have natural attacks? Sure, they may look all cute and cuddle, but so do squirrels and koala bears, and we all know how lethal those things are! Run, Apple Bloom, RUN!!!

Tosxychor said...

Late stage 3, although it will probably worsen with season 2.

Gypsy said...

HEY SETH START POSTING THE DAMN SPREAD SHEET FOR THE FIC REPORTS!!!!

Octavia said...

"Are you all trying to imply something?"

"(I love this image)" Lmao. Well, it is a cute Trixie pic no doubt. :)

Bronies take over a rave... this I've seen near half a dozen times now it seems. It's always pretty awesome.

Oh my goodness, those Luna bracers are simply awesome. How much money do I have to throw at the screen? lol

Those coloring pages are pretty cool. Very nicely done.

Yup, that is indeed balloon Dash. Who's greatest fear in the world is a pin. She also looks kinda melancholy, aww. Cheer up balloon Dash, none of us will pop you. :)

Brony infection chart was funny to read. I'm honestly not sure where I rank in the chart. I could be silly and say I'm stage 5, but I don't think I'm a pony. :P Probably somewhere in 3 or 4. But I'm here in any case, so that says something right there. :)

rikvb9olp said...

Applebloom used pokeball?

Luna said...

First two ebay links are the same.

ZMorris said...

Saw the VG Cats comic a little while ago, which led me here to see that it was, indeed, posted in the Nightly Roundup.
/hipster

Anyway, those coloring pages look awesome! I might just take a crack at coloring a few myself. Also, it's neat to see my Apple Bloom pic here. I assure you, she's a qualified Pokemon Trainer, capable of handling a simple herd of Mareep-

*Apple Bloom walks in, burnt, with hair standing on end*

"OK, it turns out they DON'T like shearing..."

D. Shadows said...

I'm a supposedly evil monster and I approve of the 'Left 4 Herd' chart.

Though my opinion is that 'Stage Four' should include when you start reading fan fiction because you can't get your fix well enough on just the show itself.

It's not every part of my life, but I think it's taking up a nice portion of my time. Aside from youtube, paper back books and video games that have nothing to do with ponies.

Most recent game to take note of 'Dead Island'! The beginning is a basic tutorial which ends with a Musashi style ass kicking.

In other news VGCats still has it and barely ever loses it.

bobmortar said...

It's funny that it's called Nightly roundup, and it gets posted at 10 a.m here. Balloon Dash is awesome (well, it's RD, how could it be not awesome?).
I don't know L4D but that infection chart was cool.

Atiarotias said...

I guess I'm around Late Lvl 3...

Apsuenbwyfer11 said...

details on my stage of infection:
1.I come to this site every day
2.I often read fan fictions
3.I'm not scared of admitting I like the show, although no-one really asks, so I don't bother bringing it up.
4.I would wear some shirts if i really liked them, but so far only 2 or 3 have really caught my eye.
5.I watched the entire season 1 in 4 days
6.I sleep with 2 pillows, and I hug one of them and call it "fluttershy"
7.I nearly took a nasty stack on my bike trying to go as fast as I could (rainboom related)
8.I Often quote the show whenever I have an opportunity, but sadly, that doesn't happen
9.I usually whistle "giggle at the ghosties", "winter wrap up" or hum "play like pinkie pie" to myself as I walk through school or on my way home.

Given these symptoms, which stage of infection would you put me at?

And more importantly:

which special infected would I be?

Sumica said...

So confused showing signs from early 3 to early 5.

Kyle_Katarn said...

I started off in Stage 2, then slowly progressed to Stage 3. I'm quite fine at where I'm at.

XxMlgCptMTxX said...

lol those stages are so true...

Pony In Chief said...

O_o Stage Three
I'm okay with this.

Anon Pony With A Name said...

>implying we would make implications
>mfw
>mfw I can't do mfw here

On the infection I can say I'm bordering on 3 and 4 with a little early 5

Skyshadow said...

Another chart? Buck yeah!
I started on 2nd late stage and stayed there for 3 minutes then I moved to early 3rd stage.
Now I'm unsure where am I.
4th late? 5th?

Lemonite said...

Yeah... I've totally gone through all five stages of infection. I actually skipped from early 4 to 5 this weekend because of Dragon*Con. xD

Cryptonik said...

Stage 3
also Dash Balloon ...are you okay dashie?

Johuotar said...

I cant believe vg cats updated three times after i last checked, also ternaldo reappered, there were pony referemces and the comics were sort of funny. I thought that comic was dead, seems to be undead instead.

Bastoff said...

I am at stage four considering that:
- I try to watch, listen or talk about ponies all the time.
- I have converted two friends to The Herd.
- I own four pony toys.
- I have mai waifu, Twilight Sparkle.
- I have seen every episode at least two times.

...I regret nothing.

Ace of Swords said...

For the guy who made the Dash balloon:
Not bad for a first shot, you got the eye color better than mine to be certain. Few suggestions though:

1. Tuck your ends. Or clip the ones you can't tuck. Loose ends makes for a sloppy appearance.
2. Get some 350s for the legs and main body, really helps to fill it out without making it too busy.
3. It looks like you anchor everything at the base of the neck. Try to create a separate anchor point for the wings so the neck bends up more naturally.
4. You may want to rethink the wing design altogether, honestly. Folding the feathers over makes for too much busy in the wing. I'd also throw a pinch twist in to make them point up more than out.

But those are just suggestions, of course. :D

Voltaire said...

I'll stay late stage 3 forever methinks. It's where I'm comfortable ^_^

GaruuSpike said...

I'm in early stage four. 8D I've infected THREE of my friends.

Woot for dagh fanfics and fanart!

Marshall said...

I'm definitely late stage 3, but I don't like the description off to the side that "you watch the episodes because you feel obligated." I don't feel obligated to watch the show, I love it like it says down at Stage 4.

Kammerjunk said...

I went from nothing to late stage 2, further on to a mix of stage 3 late and stage 4 late (If I could find any god-damned meetups in Denmark).

Stage 3 Early closet brony here.
I've been lurking here for a long time now.
maybe, since early July.

Igor PhOeNiX_H said...

I'm in a kind of stage 4,5. I'm a subtitler, so I need to watch every episode like 5 times each. I've changed the image for ponies on almost every social page, all my wallpapers is with ponies and my chrome theme is one of Octavia.

I don't want to become a pony... yet. But I'll accept without questioning wings and even a horn xD

Wierdplatformer said...

I'm kind of a late level three with a bit of four thrown in there.

Marcoooootje1 said...

Yay I´m in the late stage of 4!
Not sure if want to pass to stage 5.

wertasd123 said...

Stage 4 early... i fit the description perfectly lol

Cyl said...

Who made that bracer?

Solar Flair said...

I've abandoned VG Cats as a fan. I feel I'm more of a casual peruser now, because it's so slow that's all I can be. I used to love it, when it half arsed updated once a week.

Absolutely love the Luna Bracer, do want.

That can't be a Seth in that picture- I see no Trixie anywhere.

L4D Brony infection? Heh. Neat.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

I appear to be early stage 4...
I think I'm fine here :)

Tritone said...

Early Stage 4 here... Not Late Stage 4 only because I never found a pony toy here in Brazil and also because (I guess) we don't have the said meetups. Should the opportunity arrive, however...

@Igor PhOeNiX_H : "all my wallpapers is with ponies and my chrome theme is one of Octavia."
^this
(what can I do? She's best musical pony!)

Wollffeey said...

Late stage 4 with no intention of reaching stage 5. Now, if I were 6 or more years younger (in my teens), then, yeah, I'd be stage 5 by now. Unfortunately (fortunately?), I've grown out of that phase in my life where I become fully 100% immersed in a fandom. I just don't have the mental capacity for that any more.

Dashmaster said...

I'm definitely at stage four ^^
I love everything on here and all you folks...so....AWESOME!

cplhicks said...

I'm in early stage 4. I've been trying to convert my friends via facebook but they just ignore me :(

Oh and I was looking for MLP toys yesterday. I told the person I was looking for my little niece but it was for MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Oh and when the buck is Hasbro going to make show accurate ponies?

DashFast said...

Im still in early stage 3. My NROTC buds would think i'm crazy! My CO would do some embarrassing stuff to me for sure. I still cant get enough of the show though and i'm starting the written FiC stage. /)'3'(\

Koust said...

I want those bracer's for Dagorhir!!

Fire Flash said...

I'm at stage 4 working my way up to 5. Just bought $108 worth of pony stuff last night. X3

str8tUPbr0ny said...

Stage 4 definitely, also those bracers kinda remind me of assassin's creed, could use them for my hidden blades

Retl said...

I got all excited when I read Balloon Ponies. It wasn't what I expected. Still. Pretty cool stuff!

Late Stage 4, so much poni. Wallpapers, chrome theme, merch on my desk, homepages, I attend meet ups, and pony has is taking up over 2/3 of my ENTIRE music library (still not sure how that happened).

Sotha said...

I wanted to see a coloring cube of Sethisto, not some lame humanised picture of him. I don't understand what is with this ponies and humanising things that look perfectly perfect in their original (ultimate) form.

I'm late 3.5, with a little bit of four. Doesn't really matter though.

And that Nightmare Moon wire sculpture is venom!

pmcollectorboy said...

Definitely early to late stage four.

Linkzor24 said...

Huh??? The first two ebay merch goes the the same page?

Firleycat said...

Hurry for Irish Brony publicity.

Every time VG Cats updates, it has a pony reference. I don't need to go to website any more, It just shows up here.

commanche105996 said...

Eh, I'm floating around stages 3 and 4. No merch yet, but my girlfriends is probably going to buy me a pony shirt. I have hit fanfic and fanart levels, but my room and stuff isn't decked out in ponies yet. Everyone in my school is surprisingly hateful!!!

The_Owl said...

Stage Four Late.

Although stage 5 sounds exactly the same as stage 4 late.

Astridax said...

Implying the truth Seth.... only ever the truth.

pixelkitties said...

Great news all around- and I LOVE that Trixie image!

Also, I want Trixie's Trixie doll...

80and56 said...

I kinda think I'm all over the place.

-Still haven't warmed up to the memes much at all.
-Will only admit my loving this show if asked first.
-Do love reading the higher quality fics and fanart
-Not too big on shipping, although if the picture is hilarious enough (like Drawfriend #177's number 14 picture), I'll get a good laugh out of it.
-The official merch, kind of bleh, for now.
-I am however, dying to get one of those plushies some people make. Maybe one or two.

I'd put myself somewhere around early 3, if you had to put an exact number on it. Honestly, though, I have no concrete idea where I'd land on that chart.

Any opinions?

rpb3000 said...

Luna bracers? DO WANT! Where can I buy such amazingness?!

Artsie Bee said...

So, Seth, how weird is it to see yourself on a coloring page?

Scootachicken said...

Sadly, stage 4.
I don't really like the fact that it takes up a huge part of my life, I wish I could be more casual, I guess it's to late..

Supreme Commander of Brony Mountain said...

I'm not sure where I am on that chart;
Sometimes I view brony-isim as yet another reason for people to think I'm weird, so I wont "come out" unless that particular friend of mine asks me directly. I do check the homepage here multiple times per day, the memes are kinda hit and miss for me, I have two pillows I don't sleep on; one is named Fluttershy and the other Luna.
I was turned via a combination of my friend and the fan art I stumbled upon by accident, that being said I'm not changing my profile picture on Facebook or what have you to a pony yet

FlutterDash said...

Pfft I am stage 6.

Also what about RPers? Are they automatically stage 5?

Risky said...

@Mason1729
So THATS what Seth looks like. I seriously have a hard time imagining him as anything but his bio pony. its quite odd really...

MarkTheCat said...

That rave was missing Pinkie.

James Corck said...

I think I'm one of those Special Infected Bronies. I already got 9 people into it. If I can pick one, I want to be a Smoker!

Ragona said...

Stage 3 late, and no problems with it. Love how Pinkamena is the witch. Macintosh should have been the tank.

North Quill said...

What the fuck is supposed to be going on in the video?

Spikely Whiplash said...

@Aidinthel

Ditto, and I'm not planning on advancing any time soon.

Circuitfry said...

Ugh, I missed it! Here's mine. It's the riff from my Princess Twilight Sparkle remix plus a bunch of strumming hahaha.

Igor PhOeNiX_H said...

@Tritone Sou brasileiro também, brony! Octavia é simplesmente a melhor pônei musical de todas xD

O tema dela também é incrivelmente bonito, mesmo não sendo muito fã de roxo. Se procurar por "Octavia" no site de temas do chrome, você só vai achar um. É esse que eu uso.

Eu tenho as pôneis da Mcdonalds também, mas não fui capaz ainda de adquirir outras. Não que eu não queira, muito pelo contrário.

Já meetup de bronies... eu moro em Salvador e conheço dois bronies aqui. Isso não daria um meetup :/

stratguy said...

ima early stage three, mainy cause of the closet part
:D

zorinlynx said...

Anyone know why Scott took down the original strip #290, which was the MLP one? Was he afraid of legal threats?

http://hushpad.zorin.org/links/mlp/vgcats-mlp.JPG

Ewyndall said...

Sooo, Seth.

I wonder what would you have reacted if someone told you a year ago "you will have your own coloring page" xD

Nittany Tiger said...

I'm stuck on Stage 3, wavering between early and late.

Also, the VGCats MLP references are getting old. The latest one doesn't fit into the main comic.
