Nightly Roundup #119


This is the greatest clock ever. I don't think there is a more accurate time keeper in existence.

Too bad it takes me forever to read traditional clocks. Confound this digital everything.

Have some really short news!


MLP Trivia Game Looking for More Questions

A Trivial Persuit style game is currently being built up. Right now they have around one hundred questions, but they need a bunch more to really get things going. Have some categories:

Canon Characters: This category covers the current characters of the current generation of My Little Pony (Exclusively the Mane six and any developed side characters such as Discord, Spike, the CMC, ect.)

Canon Equestria: This category covers the current world and physics of the current generation of My Little Pony (For example, how the weather works, cities and towns, buildings, the history of Equestria as revealed in show, ect.)

Old-Gen: This category covers the world and characters of the last three generations of My Little Pony (Think of it as a history category. Anything Old-Gen related fits here.)

Behind-The-Scenes: This category covers the process of making the show, the show's team and creators, and any other aspects of making an idea become the show.

Fandom: This category covers the vast Brony fandom, including but not limited too accepted background ponies (Lyra, Derpy/Ditzy, ect), famous fan works (FO:E, Past Sins, Fighting is Magic, Makkon and other composers, ect) and Brony culture (meetups, Equestria Daily, ect.)

WILD CARD: This category covers anything the first five don't, and anything that just doesn't fit into a category. Joke and related media (Magazine's that wrote about the show, inspirations for the show, ect) belong here.

If you have an idea for a question/answer combo, toss an email to MLPtriviagame@gmail.com, clarifying which category it is supposed to be involved in.

Unknown said...

My look at the time! its half past Trixie!

Unknown said...

must have trixie clock!

Grez said...

Slow day at the EqD offices?

Lady Luna said...

I want that clock.

Nämahs said...

Seth has a hard time reading analog clocks?

taco said...

Wow early roundup tonight.

Sethisto said...

@Nämahs

I have literally always had digital. I can read normal ones, but I have to count by 5's :p

D. Shadows said...

Well it's no wonder he's having a problem reading that clock.

The small hand is for Trixie worship and the long hand is for Trixie adoration.

It's completely confusing if you don't know it, because Trixie o' clock is always the right time.

Like Six Trixie, Time for breakfast!

KaGo said...

Clock 20% cooler.

Bobbyzero said...

This puts even the most advanced atomic clocks to shame...

Marco_Brony said...

I... NEED... that... clock...

esteban32 said...

IT'S COMING TO ARGENTINA! F- YEAH FINALLY!

Belgarath said...

velvet remedy custom!?

I'm a shark said...

@Sethisto

Seth I totally understand. It's always been like that for me, too. When I was a kid I got a digital watch because I thought it was awesome, and now I'm scarred forever, doomed to look like an idiot when I have to read an analogue clock.

Pinkie Pie said...

Silly Trixie. Time is for humans!

You can't really blame her, though. She never learned the laws of relativity or physics. Otherwise, she'd know that time is irrelevant.

And that 'left' is the new 'up'.

Dionysus said...

The Trivia Game sounds cool, I try to help but I first have to look up the rules to Trivial Pursuit, because I never played that game and don't know the format of questions/answers.

Octavia said...

I think you're correct on that notion about the clock. Because it's always time for Trixie, am I right? ;)

Ooh, Pegasus wings tutorial, awesome. Was waiting to see if someone would put one of these together. I'll be honest, there's other Pegasus wings I've seen I've liked the look of more, but these are nice too. I'll have to check that out.

Aw, no Octavia icon that I can see in that icon set project. But still pretty cool array there.

Smaller Roundup, but that's okay. Means I get to go to bed earlier. "Go the *beep!* to sleep!"

Jay6 said...

KELOWNA?!?! FUCK YEAH! That's just an hour's drive from where I live! Totally should do a meet-up at some point! (This actually just mades me pretty damn happy)

Takata said...

That clock!


Also, neat shirts there. Need to get a pony shirt myself one of these days.

Firleycat said...

When I saw the clock, I just imagined Trixie as a digital alarm clock. Every morning she just screams at you that waking you up is beneath her. It could work.

Damhoof said...

DAT CLOCK. ALL MY MONEY!

Kitteh said...

I want a clock with Rarity :3

Jango-Fett said...

Trixie is the best clock

Forderz said...

fuck yeah winnipeg! but there's no link seth...

Onej6 said...

@Firleycat

Lol, take a handful of Internets, sir.

JR said...

But Seth, more time to read an analog clock means more time staring at an image of Trixie. I'm afraid I'm not seeing the problem here...

Ice Matoro said...

Aaaaw Yeah, but... 21 of november T_T
Well, its not like the latinamarican-dub it's so good, i could live with it

canadianmerc said...

Oh my Gosh Winnipeg is getting one, best year for this city ever.

Sedaheht said...

@Forderz Just search for "Winnipeg Bronies" group on Facebook.

Sedaheht said...

And just to clarify, the Winnipeg meetup is happening at the convention center because Central Canada Comic Con is there that weekend.

Dusklight said...

Seth, I totally agree!

Also... The Great and Powerful Trixie does not bend to time, time bows to Trixie!

Gabriel said...

Latin America does not include Brazil, WHEN ARE THESE PONIES COMING TO BRAZIL?!?!?!
Also: Discovery Kids? I hope not, I'm expecting Cartoon Network to take it over here.

Aranarth said...

Trixie clock is best clock.

BlackWolf said...

MLP FiM in argentina? SO AWESOME, but i am at university at 10:30 :(. Anyways i will be watching the episodes in youtube with the original dub :P

waffle911 said...

@GabrielWell, considering that The Hub, the channel it airs on in the U.S., is a joint venture between Hasbro and Discovery as a replacement for Discovery Kids, you guys might get lucky; though admittedly, I don't know if the programming for your Discovery Kids is at all similar to what it was here.

@Sethisto: Look more closely at that art project. The blueprint in the upper left. There is an equation.
EQ=D/E√10

Notice anything?

Ran said...

That clock is perfect.

Gabriel said...

@waffle911
Discovery Kids here is all about baby shows! and in some places of the world MLP is going on Boomerang, which is a CN channel, not sure if there are any other countries where MLP airs on Discovery Kids

Lemonite said...

That wing tutorial is awesome!

I wonder if there's a way to wear them without needing a low-cut shirt however... That could be a problem for any guys wanting to dress up.

g1 - Sindiewen said...

I wana make Dashie ears and wings and wear them on halloween :D
I'm a guy so that would be fun and also awkward

Alondro said...

We now need a Derpy clock!

It'd be all melty and run backwards.

Ninja Unicorn said...

Mom: What time is it?
Me: Trixie time? OH CRAP.

Alondro said...

We now need a Derpy clock!

It'd be all melty and run backwards.

BluePikmin27 said...

So...can we buy that clock somewhere? I MUST HAVE IT.

Damhoof said...

@BluePikmin27

I MUST have it too!! I MUST! I MUST!

/Rarity begging ensues!

Masic said...

GAH! I thought Brazil would be getting MLP too, but it's just 3 Spanish speaking countries!

Adam said...

Could anypony tell me where to buy this clock? All of my money. I mean it.

Tyroq said...

Anypony else stare at the clock for a minute, wondering why the hands weren't moving?

*Facehoof*

Derpy moment

Aragrist said...

What happened to the Steve Jobs post?

Equestrian Knight said...

@Firleycat

I would rather have a Rarity digital alarm clock, whining about how I sleep too much and if I don't get up now I won't have enough time to make my self look fabulous.

Applejack85 said...

Nice little news bite, loved that icon set, those are really cool.

Ryuu said...

Windows Phone Soundboard

YES!!!!

MarkTheCat said...

Pretty short, can't expect every night to be abundant with news though.

iWolf said...

I'm gonna need to make me some Rainbow Dash wings and get my hands on that clock!

Anonymous said...

Love that clock. <3

Kratzelf said...

WAIT A MINUTE...if it's coming to Colombia via Discovery Kids... THAT MEANS I'TS COMING TO PERU?!
F*** YEAH, TIME TO MAKE A FACEBOOK GROUP ABOUT THIS.
(and in case anyone can't remember, The HUB used to be Discovery Kids!)

Bpendragon said...

hmm... I have a clock that has one of those cheesy "Don't do drugs" backs (in phsychadelic colors no less) I have the face off...need that background!

Profesor Rod said...

Well, it will be exposure to the narrow-sighted executives at free broadcasters. MLP will not be a big thing over Latin America until it hits those masses channels. Three reasons:

A) A little more than half of the people can't afford paid TV. That tiny fraction will not watch Discovery Kids, not even by chance (except toddlers...)

B) People is anyway happy with stupid programs on open TV. (They even didn't get The Big Bang Theory jokes and it got worse because the dub was horrible, airing was canceled.)

C) Machismo... enough said (And you think you have it rough?) :/

Gabriel said...

@Profesor Rod
I don't know about the rest of Latin America, but over here (Brazil) Discovery Kids is still one of the most watched paid TV channels, which kinda disappoints me because i don't like those baby shows. Discovery Kids "CEO"(or someone along those lines) already said that they don't plan on turning it on The Hub because the channel is still doing good.
I'm hoping MLP doesn't air on Discovery Kids over here. PLZDONTPLZDONTPLZDONTPLZDONT!

microdebacle said...

Discovery Kids LA is getting 20% cooler!!!
Now, sorry about that, I needed to say it.
