• Morning Roundup #157


    I dunno what happened to Seth last night, but I was awoken by a huge storm this morning, so I figured I'd make myself useful and do a slightly late roundup from yesterday's news before I go to class.

    So let's get started. It's pretty short!



    Successful Pony Panel Picture From FAN:dom Con's Second Year

    Sounds like it was a lot of fun! From the email:
    FAN:dom Con at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida just finished its second year this weekend, and there was a My Little Pony panel among many others. It was easily one of the most crowded panels at the convention; people were standing and sitting on the floor, and happily! We watched the new Cutie Pox episode, some discussion in the breaks, and then shared a few of the more popular PMVs. Snapped a picture before everyone left; got everyone to say "Trixie is Best Pony" for the shot.

    Pony Named Cordovan Splotch Bakes a Thing Called The Zecora Trifle

    I can bake, kind of. If I have a recipe. This guy just goes all out, though. Have one embed to whet your appetite, and links to parts two and three.








    MLP Article in Simon Fraser University Newspaper

    MetalBeerSolid's friend saw this article in his university's local newspaper, and he scanned and created a high-res PDF. It's okay, but the best pony list is all wrong. Rarity is nowhere to be seen, and therefore it is incorrect.

    Have a link.

    Operation: Pony Bus for FUN

    So apparently there's this event called Desert Bus for Hope, which is a charity event run by the folks at Loading Ready Run. The premise is simple; you give them your money, and you get to control the activities that they do to pass the time, while at the same time, someone plays the The Desert Bus game from Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors. All the money donated goes to Child's Play, which gives toys and games to children in hospitals.

    This operation is aimed at making them do pony things! Sounds legit to me.

    Have a link to the event organization page at The Escapist.

    Looking for Singing Talent for BroNYcon January

    Have some copypaste from the organizer:

    Hi Everypony! Haybuck again, looking for some singers for BroNYcon. We've gotten some interest, however there are still a lot of spots open, and I promised Purple Tinker that I'd get back to her by the end of the month! So, just for a refresher (and for those of you who didn't catch the first one), here's the deal! I'm running an ode to Daniel Ingram at BroNYcon January, and I need some singers who sound like the mane cast, as well as the Cutie Mark Crusaders! We're going to be going through the entirety of the Season 1 Soundtrack. Have any of your friends ever said you sound like one of the ponies in the show? Are you going to that fantastic fantastic convention? E-Mail me at wingedwhitefox@gmail.com, and audition! Right now, I've received auditions for Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy; however don't be shy about sending in auditions for those spots too!

    Male? Deep voice? No problem! I'm looking for backup singers for our finale, "At the Gala" as well! So send in the emails Bronies! You know you want to help me show just how much Daniel Ingram means to this community!

    1. Actually, by the way, that Alicorn you see there, seems to be from the Teen Titans show which Lauren has nothing to do with.

      "Super Best Friends Forever" is the show with Superman and the other DC Heroes looking like big cylinders.

    2. Way to go Cereal. Thanks for the Roundup!

      And we should always encourage Christmas caroling! If that doesn't represent the joy and love we bronies love so much, well...what does:
      Peace on earth, good will to men. Joy to the world. What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight. =D Love and Tolerance for the WIN!

    6. Yay for pony icons! They nearly made me happy enough to forget that NotACleverPony is retiring... :(

    7. Super Best Friends Forever is suppose to be about Supergirl, Batgirl, and Wonder Girl. The girl on the alicorn appears to be Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld.

      Kinda looks like Lauren's art style though, guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    10. I wish I could sing at BroNYCon -- but alas, there's no way I can get there this time around.

      Confound these busy schedules of mine!

    11. @NightStarX

      Are you sure? Because every clip they show of the Teen Titans have character models with disproportionally large heads. The girl riding the unicorn doesn't match the style at all.

      And is there information out there that suggests that Super Best Friends Forever features characters looking like "big cylinders"?

      On a side note, can any DC fans identify the girl on the unicorn?

    12. Writer of the newspaper article used 96 Chicago Bulls as a comparison. He wins.

    13. I was wondering where the Nightly Roundup was...
      Hope Seth's okay though. D:

    14. @Calnos

      I see you've already answered my question. Judging by the cover on TVTropes, that's definitely who it is.

      ReplyDelete
    15. Just so nobody is worried, Seth posted in his Story Updates around 5AMish that the Roundup would be postponed. My best guess is that he got swamped by story updated and just didn't have the time to make a Roundup for today. Which is perfectly reasonable.

      ... However, reasonable answers are boring. So I made up another one that's more fun! Sethisto couldn't do the roundup last night because he was busy fighting the Balrog of Moria. He'll be back later tonight as Sethisto the White.

      Right now? A Jedi knight blob thingy of course.

    18. Should've called it Morning Roundup 1 for comedic effect... And what is with the blobs?

      And Seth is obviously too busy on Skyrim :D

    19. Listen to flutter step on youtube, then listen to the dc ad

    20. Everything in that DC Nation video, including the alicorn, was underwhelmed by the fact that TEEN TITANS IS BACK! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

      If you've ever seen the original show from years ago, you'd know.

      It's the same art style, but with chibi characters, which where used in the show. And since Tara was in the trailer, they likely brought the cast together again for the voices.

      There were several times when the show took-on different styles for certain scenes.

    22. Equestria blobs, cause even blog ponies can get cuter in blob form.

    23. I didn't do any actual baking in this first episode of Sweets & Stuff, I have two more episodes planned that I'm working on however, of which at least one will involve baking. The Pinkie Pie and The Gateau Gilda Ganache.

      ReplyDelete
    24. Not Lauren, it is Brianne Drouhard ( http://potatofarmgirl.deviantart.com/ ), whom has worked on several series, most notably, Teen Titans.

      ReplyDelete
    25. Tara Strong reprising her role as Raven? Yes please!!!

    26. You forgot to mention which server the super/villain group was on.

      I hope it's virtue.

      Damn I have to get cable TV again because that DC block looks awesome!

      ReplyDelete
    27. Kinda hoped that the SFU MLP article would be a bit more prominent, because it's just awesome.

      ReplyDelete
    28. Oh and heroes of equestria seems to be defunct or the people listed in the contact details never seem to be on.

      How long ago did you guys get that info?

      ReplyDelete
    29. They're doing desert bus for hope again on the escapist?!?

    32. I was wondering what had happened to the Nightly Roundup last night. Seemed to be later than usual. And it was so well on-course to being at a decent hour, at least for me, for the last few nights. :P

      That "Zecora Trifle" that Brony made looks interesting. He can certainly cook a lot better than I. lol I want to know what it tastes like. <3

      That school newspaper article was really good. Really well written too. Though I agree, the best pony list is all wrong. No Octavia in there. ;)

      The new Pony Swag mix has my attention a bit. Though I'm skeptical on it being as good as the Megamix was. Guess we'll find out. I won't lie, I'd feel better if it were headed by someone like iBringDaLULZ, Circuitfry or Mic. But it still has potential.

      Desert Bus for Hope. That sounds like a rather interesting charity if ever I heard one. Ponies invade ALL the charities. lol <3

      Wow, a fifth desktop pony icon set. Keep cranking these out. Thought this appears to be the last installment, aww. lol Octavia icon. :)

      I'd really love to participate in singing those songs for Daniel at BroNYCon. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to make it to the con. Plus I am not a great singer. Sad pony face. lol I know it'll be a blast though.

      And yay, bwobs! D'awwwww, aren't they just too adorkable? <3

      Forgive me, I didn't mean my comment as a backhanded attack on your roundup. The roundup is perfect, good job!

      I meant it to reassure people that Sethisto was probably ok. Him missing a roundup is not normal behavior. My first thoughts jumped to either illness or some family emergency. But since he had time to still put up the story updates, those thoughts were invalidated. I just wanted to make sure that was clear before his email was flooded with "get well" and "are you ok" emails (I was actually beginning to write one myself when I saw today's update).

    34. $455 for that AJ plushie!? I wish I had crazy money like some of you guys...

      ReplyDelete
    35. This year will be my 3rd Desert Bus, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.
      The pre-event chat has already thrown out the idea of making one or more of the cast sing songs from FiM, and it sounds like at least one of them (Kroze) is up for it.
      Hope to see you all in chat.

    36. The clip in DC Nation isn't Lauren Faust's, it's Brianne Drouhard's

    37. That alicorn looks nothing like a Faust style pony. Don't jump to conclusions.

      ReplyDelete
    38. That cartoon looks cute but it doesn't match Lauren's art style.It's just a remake of an old cartoon.

      ReplyDelete
    39. That DC video looked awesome.

      Plus blobs.
