Nightly Roundup #97

Lyra and Bonbon Edition! I'm not sure how Lyra can stand Bonbon though based on the two scenes she had in season one.  Lyra deserves better!

Anyway, have some news.

Meetup Reports

Malmö Brony Meetup




CAKE


It looks... delicious.  Bronycon better have cake!


Hardon Lewdad Dramatic Reading

Some crazy parody of Arddun Lleuad popped up. For those that enjoyed the less-controversial-than-I-thought LunaxHuman shipping fic, check it out below!





Pony Toys in Colombia


That's a new one. Looks like ponies are showing up in Colombia. Sadly they were unpriced, but at least they are available.


Swedish Brony Poster Takeover


A bunch of Swedish bronies are posting these all over the place. Apparently they link to EQD! Hopefully I don't scare anyone away... I'll have to keep the saucy down for a few days.


The Nerd Signal Posts a Pony Report

A website called "The Nerd Signal" recently posted an article on pony. Pretty neat!


Project to Animate FiM in Gmod

Some crazy brony is planning to animate all of Season one in GMOD. I'm pretty sure hes going to lose his mind, but if you want to toss him some love, hit up the channel for it.


Friendship is Betrayal Comic Project

Not to be outdone by the brony above doing everything in GMOD, someone else plans to convert the series into a grimdark comic. For those that are into that, go check it out!


Friday MLP Online Livestream

On Friday at 9:00 PM Eastern, MLP Online is going to be doing a live demonstration. Apparently they have some other huge news to announce too. Hopefully it will be hitting beta soon or something!


MAD Magazine Mentions Ponies

I didn't know MAD still existed! 


MLP 1-Up Game

Based on the ridiculously popular My Little 1-Up Video, a new game is in progress.  Right now he has the start screen and character select completed.  Hopefully this completes soon! I'd play the hell out of anything based on that PMV. 


That Guy With The Glasses Reviews MLP

Apparently these guys are crazy popular, because my poor inbox has been slammed with news about this pretty much all day.  A new series has been set up to review all things pony.  Right now it seems to primarily focus on G1, but hopefully later on we will see some of the new stuff. Find it here!


Flankbook Techno Livestreams

Someone from Flankbook posing as Scratch is doing daily live stream events.  If you like techno, check out the page for it!


Not Even Calculators are Safe From Shipping

At least it's not Rainbow Dash!


So You Think You're a Brony Episode Two

The second installment of So You Think You're a Brony has released, check it out here!


Applejack/Rarity Ringtones

More ringtones from the person that brought us the Fluttershy one a few days ago, check them out below!


Applejack
Rarity


Merch/Ebay StuffKeychains, Sculptures, and more.
Custom Pony Shirts
Ridiculously Cute Luna/Celestia Filly Clay Ponies + More

Oh, Bon-Bon, you so silly.

Mason said...

Yay aussie steamgroup mention :D

Lost Echo said...

Yay for Scratch Radio \^3^/

and the TI-89 has never had a better purpose than ponies.

enginemaniac314 said...

What that Mason guy said :D

Applejack85 said...

Nice lots of game news, I can't wait for some of this stuff to be done. This community does such amazing work!

SoulSilver IV said...

Lyra always deserves better. For some reason she is rapidly moving up my list of favourite ponies, even though nothing has actually changed with regards to her, lmao.

Also, you should stick up the UK TRU merch pics I sent in Seth. ;)

Woof Hooves said...

the cake will always be a lie....

the toys in columbia are the EXACT 2 i was looking for at the local TRU

Vanishing said...

I may be alone on this, but I absolutely loathe That Guy With the Glasses

Capitalism Ho! said...

She could eat some CUpcakes instead...
Wait, What?!

TheguywithZeldasprites said...

Animating all of season one in Gmod sounds hellish...
So, who is Applejack being shipped with on the calculator? Because as far as I can tell, shes being shipped with fancy mathematics.

Woof Hooves said...

whoever did the ring tones should get ahold of mane6...that AJ isnt half bad..not as good as the shy one but definatly "game" worthy!!!!!!

Better_MixMaster said...

Someone needs to share on how to graph a pony. Id put it on every calculator I find.

Dr.Brony said...

I agree with Lost Echo, Vinyls live stream kicks ass

richfiles said...

I am shamed... I had a Mortal Kombat imitation on my TI-82 in high school, and even grey scale graphics and animations, yet I NEVER thought to ponify my calculators... God, calculators are what I DO, what I've ALWAYS been known for... And now I am shamed...

At least I solved the 50x50 Discord nonogram from the new coloring book, and got 2 boxes of Toys R Us Pony Collector sets today. 24 little blind bag size ponies. 12 to keep, 12 to customize. Luna, Derpy, Octavia, Lyra, and Bon Bon, here I come! :D

sammwich said...

I dug the Pony Up! reference.

richfiles said...

@TheguywithZeldasprites

MFW AJ was shipped with fancy mathematics! /)^É›^(\

The mode is simple pen plot mode. you can draw points or lines, and it's usually done manually. It can be programmed using X/Y coordinates to plot points, or the start and end points (in the case of lines). It's basically a sketch mode. You can save the pictures for later though.

Octavia said...

Aww, I think Lyra and Bonbon make a quirky cute couple. Though perhaps Pinkie went Cupcakes on Bonbon's parents and that's them in the bowl. Sorry. ;)

Yay, more pony cakes. Can never get enough of those.

Hardon Lewdad dramatic reading was... interesting, to say the least. But it made me smile as it's absurd random hilarity. :D

That image the Swedish bronies are using for their little posters looks so much like an old Communist poster or the like of course. The police will probably see them and think they have a group of Communists or something. lol

The Nerd Signal brony report was pretty good.

Wow, someone's going to be turning the entire series into a grimdark comic? That might be rather interesting and cool to see.

MLP Online live demonstration! Very cool. I'll try to catch a glimpse of that if I'm not too busy with Brony Movie Night at the time. Which I probably will be though. Sad face. lol

MLP 1-Up game in progress, yay~ I'd certainly play this too. Wow, so many pony games. Everyone is going to loose SO much sleep to all these pony games. I know I probably will be.

The Guy with the Glasses review wasn't too shabby. He even went pretty deep into the past gens. Which, I admit, I did watch a little of when I was little. Though I agree. Needs more FiM. :)

Applejack on a calculator, nice. I still don't know how to do that yet on one. I never fiddled around enough with them I s'pose past what my math classes had me do. :P

Applejack and Rarity ringtones are pretty good. This person is pretty good having done a Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack all decently close to the their show voices.

And those little Luna and Celestia sculpted ponies are adorable. :>

richfiles said...

The Fluttershy and AJ ringtones were the better of them all. Rarity and Pinkie Pie seemed too off. All of them are DEFINITELY a good imitations, but certainly not convincing enough to ever foal any true brony. I can hear the voices of those characters when I read fanfics. I'm too tuned into what they should sound like.

Hmm... Maybe it's NOT a good thing to hear the voice of Pinkie Pie in my head... EVER!!!

Yorec said...

I just watched CR's MLP retrospective a few hours ago and it was pretty good. His reactions to the G3 and G3.5 stuff were pretty much the same as mine, mouth agape in horror.

Pinkie Pie said...

@richfiles
You don't want to hear me? ;_;

Bronyhub said...

Why haven't I seen a mention of Tezzle's DSotT review of My Little Pony: FiM? He's also on channel awesome (that guy with the glasses collective), and his review is very good. He starts by giving a general overview of the Hub channel, and then dives right into FiM, giving a hilarious overview of what makes the show so much fun.

Hope more people watch it!

Here's a link:

Bobbyzero said...

@Woof Hooves

HIVE-MIND. I was thinking the exact same thing. Her AJ was pretty damned spot on, probably the best fandub AJ I've heard. I'd say shes in the same league as the current Mane6 Twi voice.

Call Mane6 now, they deserve the best. And please, never do Pinkie Pie again.

James Corck said...

Oh wow. You will reach the 100th Nightly round-up right before Episode 1, season 2 premieres. And hopefully you will get past 40 Million views before that too!

Hooray for unexpected coordination!!!

Wrek said...

Them fancy mathematics AJ, them fancy mathemathics...

Atiarotias said...

I was waiting for that AJ ringtone! but when I listened to it, hmm.. something is a little off. I dunno why.

Zero the Warden said...

I'm going to agree with Dr. Brony and Lost Echo here, Scratch's radio stream is great. The only thing that's missing is more ponies to party with. You should check it out!

Mike said...

Idk why, but Lyra looks really old in that Nightly Roundup pic.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

This is the perfect place to say that I got a question on a test correct by guessing the day 'Sept 17'. Hey bronies, Season 2 starts on Constitution Day!

Auster said...

It's Equestria Online, not MLP Online.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Wow... Erm...
Fluttershy's ringtone was much better. Applejack sounds like a dead ringer for Tom Sawyer, and Rarity's voice is better than AJ's, but it doesn't have the higher tones I expected.

Now I have to find Pinkie's.

John said...

Regarding the MAD Magazine bit: I...don't get it. I mean I really don't get ANY of those jokes there, not a single one. They don't seem to make any sense in relation to each of those cartoons. Did they just randomly pick negative things and match them to each cartoon? Or am I missing something here?

snkbtho2 said...

If I'm not mistaken, the 100th Nightly Roundup is the same day that Season 2 is out right?

burning-phoneix said...

@P. Pony Ponyson

I thought the level of imitation went like:

1.Fluttershy
2.AJ
3.Rarity


They were all good though. I still think the Fluttershy one is the closest to the real VA.

Also, AUSSIE STEAM GROUP REPRESENT!

Kedgart said...

Yay! Our pic from Malmö! /)^3^(\

KShrike said...

I wish that the original voice actors could do those ringtones.

LordOfTheWrongs said...

Oh god, 3.5 abominations...
Hand my my flamethrower. It's the one that says "Mmmph mmph mmmmph" on it.

Batty Gloom said...

I have HUGE respect for CR. Why?

Because he's the one who turned me into a brony by getting me interested in FIM and, by extension of association, Pen Stroke as well.

So yes, CR is indirectly responsible for Better Living, Creeping Darkness, and Past Sins.

Hedrah said...

Wait what? i recognize those name in the swedish poster-board, that's freaking close to where i live!!

Stahi said...

It should be mentioned that the clip CR used for 3.5 included Sweetie Belle saying something about her "Stuffy-Stuff" drawer and she sounded awfully familiar.

Oh right, Andrea Libman.

Spikely Whiplash said...

@John

Same here. On Ben 10, it says "causes juvenile diabetes", and on My Little Pony, it says "Diminishes adolescents' capacity to distinguish between wrong and really wrong."

Were they afraid that switching the two descriptions around would cause an internet backdraft of epic proportions, or what?

NotAGoodUsername360 said...

Oh, Seth... I pity your inbox if the Nostalgic Critic himself gives in to peer pressure and does an Old VS. New of G1 and G4 MLP... XD

DJ Storm-Z said...

I am the owner of the Aussie Bronies group and you would not BELIEVE how proud I am to see our group featured on Equestria Daily! We have received over 50 new members alone today so I cannot express the sheer amount of gratitude I have towards you Seth!

ShadowTani said...

@Sethisto MLP Online is the 2D MMO, the livestream is for Equestria Online, the 3D MMO. ;3

Firleycat said...

The My Little 1-up game is looking good. I'm a bit curious to see if there will be an difference between all the characters. It would be awesome if there was but I'm not sure what you could use.

GreenGuy said...

When you said "ThatGuyWithTheGlasses", I was honestly expecting this week's NC to be "Old vs New: My Little Pony"

...I'm still holding out hope that this happens eventually.

Voltaire said...

Pony games: They must be made! I can't wait till fighting is magic is made. Also, that retro arcade style video was pretty awesome. It almost makes me want to learn how to do all that coding crap and make my own video game! (Actionscript is my only weakness D:)

Calnos said...

Applejack is awesome. It is a mathematical fact.

BluePikmin27 said...

Gah! I've got my own plans with my friends on the 17th related to Season 2; why must the Atlanta meetup be then? I'd LOVE to go!

ShakeBunny said...

We need the girl from the ringtones to do Applejack in Fighting is Magic. SHE WAS SO AWESOME!

Profesor Rod said...

My Little Pony: Diminishes adolescents' capacity to distinguish between "wrong" and "really wrong."

>Clopfiction
ಠ_ಠ

Heartmend said...

@James Corck

That's amazingly cool. Who would have thought a little blog would reach 40 million hits? Like, ever? I'm pretty sure Sethisto had thought it would peter out between seasons.

And 100 Nightly Round-Ups? That's amazing! I remember when those were just starting.

I think it's amazing that there always seems to be something to even report every day! Not only that, but that list seems to keep growing! :D

Heartmend said...

@Calnos

Yes indeed! I am really hoping for an utterly amazing Applejack episode in Season 2, one that will rightfully cement her place as Best Pony. :D

Andrea said...

I'm really glad you like The Nerd Signal article! I'm really new to the FIM series, and I'd hoped my post would interest those people unfamiliar with it, yet still be something the existing community would appreciate.

Matrilwood said...

You parents shell out $200 for a calculator so you can draw ponies... Worth every cent.

AtomicBrony said...

Re: Applejack VA...I left a message for Ashleigh.

While it'd take a miracle for her to respond (let alone audition), it would be hilarious if she didn't get her own part.

Gravenstein said...

still no mc chris mention :(

Celestia said...

@Pinkie Pie

Everypony wants to hear you, just not all the time.
There would probably be some side effects from having you in their ear constantly; parties, excessive giggling and over excitement for example.

CrimsonFire said...

Sweden! Woho!


...why wasent I there? :(

Ironside d'Windurst said...

@BluePikmin27

The Atlanta meetup isn't until 8:30 PM; think you all might still be able to make it?

Johuotar said...

I have the same calculator!

DashAttack said...

Between this post, hearing 8-bit Winter Wrap Up while my iPod was on shuffle, and finding out EqD is iPod friendly, my day has been made.

Bauss said...

@BluePikmin27

Depending on the turnout and the response we get, we may or may not end up doing screenings for all of season 2.

ColoradoMillenium said...

YESYESYESYES! Colorado Statewide group! Now Denver COSprings don't have to be separate!

richfiles said...

@Pinkie Pie
Aww, silly Pinkie! Of course I love to hear your voice! I just hope that if i hear your voice in MY head, that I'm still SANE, and not under the influence of a party enchantress! /)@É›@(\

Takata said...

Anyone know how to add the ringtones to a jailbroken iPhone?

MarkTheCat said...

Dayum, I'd love to see that video in an actual playable game.
Will be listening out for more info!

Jelfes said...

That Guy With The Glasses Reviews MLP, Whoa! Dude, that's creepy...

Scribejay said...

Cake? In all caps? In that font? Damnit Seth way to get my hopes up for something completely improbable.

Kapten-N said...

GAH! Why was I not informed of the Malmö brony meetup? I demand a rerun!

Wierdplatformer said...

I've been waiting for CR's review at TGWTG.com for a while. He's the one who basically introduced me to the show.

banannagram said...

The clay ponies made me forget to breathe for a few seconds. They are that ridiculously cute.

AppleJack said...

@Better_MixMaster

Ain't all that hard. I used the pen function on a zoomed in version of the graph. It's very tedious though. xD

Kytseo said...

/sees that there's an Applejack ringtone, the universe is now officially complete
