Nightly Roundup #167




Oh... my. Edition.
Wet mane all the ponies.

Respect them for being hard working intelligent equines edition. -Sethfix


Equestrian Tides Podcast: Episode 5


The Equestrian Tides podcast find themselves trapped inside a dark room somewhere below SugarCube Corner. This week's episode features Seargent Sprinkles, also known as Derpy416, author of the "Grimdark As F**k" fanfic: Cupcakes.

Tune in and hear the compelling origin story of this infamous tale straight from the horse's mouth! Viewer discretion is advised, what you discover may be too horrible to forget!




EFR Episode Promo


These guys sent us a promo for their episode on Monday! Foreshadowing! Have some copypaste:

Someone has given us homework over the holiday weekend! Oh no!
I wonder what this means we'll be having on Monday when we get back to school?!




Filly Synchtube Banner Contest

I love when people send us copypaste stuff! Makes my job a lot easier, lemme tell you. Anyway, the Filly Synchtube is having a banner contest! Details below.

Hi there! We're running a banner contest over at the Filly synchtube channel. The theme for the banner contest is "Ponies enjoying the Holidays" The best banner will get its new home at the top of the channel for all to see! The banners resolution must be a maximum of 1000x300 pixels. It will be voted on by everyone in the channel on the date of 12/2/11 at 5:00 PM Pacific. Any submissions to the banner contest should be sent to FillyContests@derpymail.org and it would be preferred to be uploaded to imgur.com

A reward for first place would be:
15$ Steam game of their choosing

Second and third place runner ups would get
-their banners up in the channel for a day each
-a 5$ steam game of their choosing.



New Podcast: Brony Talk

Yup, another podcast! This one is currently at four episodes.

Have a link here.



Chris Bryne "Toy Expert" Mentions Bronies

No idea who this guy is, but apparently he mentions bronies! It's near the end, according to the email, and 'nothing bad'. The clip is here.



Fellow Brony In Need This Thanksgiving

An interesting story landed in our inbox today- a brony named Nicktae has fallen upon some hard times. Her family owns a sustainable, organic chicken farm, and her father actively battles against corporations who factory farm chickens in horrendous environments, and educates the public on how livestock can be raised in large numbers without cruelty and with minimal environmental impact.

Unfortunately their house has burned down due a wood stove fire.

GoldX3, the person who emailed us, has put up a donation page with more details where you can send gifts or any kind of support you can to Nicktae in their time of need.

The link is here.



Pony Cake!


Never gets old, really.



Nintendo 3DS Image Creation Project

Never really got into portable gaming devices. Nevertheless, a pony named Primal Moon has created a portable 3D EQD ad as a proof of concept. You can find the details and the necessary files here.



The Hub Uses Fanart, Artist Freaks Out (In A Good Way)

Totally didn't even notice this when it was up. Apparently the Discord image used in the Hub's Naughty or Nice contest was fanart by a pony named Briskby.

You can find the original image here, and the artist's reaction here.



Latin Versions of Pinkie Pie songs from Episodes 2 and 3

At least they didn't make her into a dude cough Spitfire cough.













Playable Version of Rainbow Dash's Filly Flier Race in New Dejobaan Game

PONY ALL THE THINGS. Have a copypaste description:

Basically what the title says: the level designer for Dejobaan's new game, AaAaAA!!: For The Awesome, is a brony, and he made a playable version of RD's race from "Cutie Mark Chronicles".

I will be the idiot and shameful person who gets first so others don't have to bear it.

The Lotus Tea Dragon said...

The Octavia clock is all kinds of awesome!

Orchestral Design said...

Oh Twilight, your looking very nice tonight.

Jango-Fett said...

Ponies+wet manes=MFW!!

Bombedrumbum said...

Sigh, ignoring the title image.........




Good roundup

rpgamer987 said...

Also, welovefine pony shirt contest winners are now available.
Alas, still waiting on my perfect Rarity shirt.
Also also, yes, wetmane all the ponies.

Jelfes said...

Indeed, please do. Wet mane ALL the ponies!

milleniummaster18 said...

Seems that they improved over the pilots in the Latin American version. Last time, Pinkie couldn't sing, now she can sing to the point that I liked it!

LightPrism said...

I concur with this wetmaning of the ponies idea.

palatank said...

we need ditzy doo and RD weatmaned

Senior Waffles said...

Um, that header image. I approve and at the same time don't, what a weird feeling.
Also lol'ed at the Pinkie Pie songs, they don't work well and the joke during the first one gets lost in translation.

AspectOfTheStorm said...

Right when I saw that picture, I said "Oh my", then I looked what you said right below it. Now that's a connection right there lol.

SgtGarand said...

I could get use to seeing Twilight like that

edock said...

Ah what the hoot, Ill make a pony banner haha

Kadreal said...

The Link for the help a brony out this thanksgiving just seems to lead to a news article? Also, oh god cheerilee.

Bronyhub said...

Why Mrs. Sparkle, you're making me blush.

Th3D0ctor said...

I think you should Clarify that when you say "Latin" you mean "Latino" because those songs were definitely not "Latin"

ChaosDX1 said...

Some amazing stuff tonight!

Hydra said...

Wow Twilight looks erm different

Luigicow said...

Can't believe I was awake for one of these, and I'm really happy that my 3DS is now great and powerful.

John M. said...

Cereal your a sick perverted bastard. Keep that shit to yourself. Nobody wants to hear about your sick fetishes.

Octavia said...

Bronies sure love their wet mane ponies. And why hello there, Twilight. <3

The Chris Bryne "Toy Expert" interview was pretty cool. He sounds like a cool guy and like he's down with Bronies. lol

I'm really sorry to hear about Nicktae's family home burning down. And they lost their pets too. Oh dear. I'm so sorry to hear that as well. I really hope they get some assistance and I wish them all the luck in the World. :(

That's a cute little pony cake. Didn't even notice it was Dashie's head for a couple moments.

EqD in 3D? An interesting and perhaps rather fun concept.

Huh, I didn't notice the fan art in the Hub commercial either. That's pretty cool. As long as the artist doesn't start boasting a ton and acting cocky now... don't give me that look, you know it happens too. lol But yeah, it is certainly pretty cool. Congrats on that.

Those Latin Pinkie Pie songs weren't bad. At least I didn't think so. Had nice energy and projected well it seemed.

I love that Octavia clock. Sooooooo awesome! /)^3^(\

Torchman said...

A 3DS project? Mine has zero pony content.

I'll look into it.

Flutterguy said...

Twilight wet mane? Bueno.

Also.. so much merch and stuff, and yet, not enough money. Ever.

Celestia said...

Oh, you put Oh...my in the title, that's my usual comment for things like that gone.

News was pretty nice apart from that house fire, I feel really sorry for them. I hope everything works out as much as possible for the circumstances.

I believe the link is wrong though, it only leads to a news article.

I like the octavia clock, very nice.

jeremiah said...

i love twilight a lot more now.

Blightmare said...

Stupid sexy twilight, invading my mind before I sleep. <_<

Samuel7897 said...

Good round-up tonight :)

Twilight said...

Tell me I'm not the only one who thought that the songs would be in actual latin instead of from the latin-amerian region.

S_E_F said...

Gabe Newell on the right of the meetup picture?

Primal Moron said...

Thanks for the gushing hitcount ponies!
Thanks to you, i surpassed 10,000 hits on my mane page.
As a reward, Imma attempt a few of the mane 6, if you have any comments, please do speak up on my dA, I'm there everyday!
Also, I'm impressed at some of the other entries, myself, the artwork one I saw on dA before it was noted here.

Thanks bronies for getting me to 10k+ hits!

That's all for now,
Primal Moon

Lord Denir said...

That twilight....What have you done to me cereal

Aether Dash said...

About Pinkie's songs in Spanish:
Me gusta. It's nice to see some dubs that I can actually understand for once. Yet I still don't know how to say pony in Spanish...

Heartmend said...

Heartmend said...

YAY! Nicole Oliver will be on Everfree Radio! :D

I think it's so awesome that we get interviews with so many people from the show. I've never, ever followed any show like this. I really do think this is the best fandom ever!

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

Don't know if anyone noticed, but the creator's of minecraft mentioned MLP at Mincon. Pretty shweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=kofxU9A6Xk0

Kayriel said...

@John M.

John, John, John. Get out. Seriously. Just leave. Don't speak for the rest of us, and don't diss the blogponies.

I'm willing to bet bits to hoof that your closed-minded ilk are in the minority.

Do us a favor, don't let the door hitcha where Celestia splitcha.

Rose said...

Ah-ha! so that's where this article was!

Rellikai said...

Wow, those Equestrian Tides guys are....frankly they are really obnoxious. They flip out over the smallest, stupidest details. It's just a feather! Move on! And then they begin bitching about how Dash didn't choose the falcon and that Tank ruined the entire episode with his...existence. Just shows how shallow and shortsighted their opinions are to me.

The only reason to listen to it is to hear Sergeant Sprinkles interview. Once it's done you should just stop listening. I will definitely NOT be listening to any more of their shows. Listen to Bronyville or Everfree Radio if you really need to listen to a ponycast, cuz Equestrian Tides is definitely not one I would recommend to anyone.

RedFox742 said...

Hm, the cool toy-expert guy estimates us at 45,000. I'd still think more, but that's still pretty flattering.

Have to say, though, I'm into the show, not the toys. Especially not until they start making some seriously show-accurate toys. I would be all the hell over a show-accurate RD plushie.

Justicar Gallant said...

The title image is unnecessary and a disgrace to the character.

I am disappointed.

Biel3g said...

I always forgot... If someone is talking about the Latin America, They don`t include Brazil, and then, i listened for the spanish version of giggle at the ghostie...

FamusJamus said...

@bestpony? AJ ;) Y'know, with achievements like "DIAMONDS!", "Enchanter", "Librarian" and "We Need to Go Deeper", it's hard not to think about ponies.

Or maybe I just have too much ponies on the ol' brain.

The Numberman said...

I said it earlier today and I'mma repeat myself: Twilight Sparkle is best pony.

Jeba said...

Suddenly I demand Vinyl with wet mane.

MegaPatron said...

twilight...your mane is wet...again!

MP said...

Uh, the latin version of the songs is probably the best dub I've heard, for now (not counting the original version, which is, obviously, the best).

Slazer said...

That Sethfix.

Good show, old chap! I applaud you.

Now let's get Wetmane!Vinyl here please.

"Magic" Jak said...

@Rellikai

I'm sorry you feel that way about the show. :) Most of what you saw as faults are what we like to call jokes. Why do you think we laugh when ever Dr.Awesome screams? Most of the things we "fight" about aren't even conflicts. The primary reason we do this podcast is to have fun, and I apologize if you weren't one of ones who did.

As for The Brony Show, CiruitMane and the gang are coming onto our show this Sunday, so I know there's others who appreciate us.

AC and Chef are really cool too. AC thought it would be fun if we had them on our show, or vice versa. But it's really up to Chef since he's the one who plans out the episodes.

Once again, thank you Seth for sharing our episode. We really do try to put on an entertaining show. :D

Anonymouse said...

@bestpony? AJ ;)

Actually, that was one of the Yogscast guys I think. The creator of Minecraft is a fat Swedish guy.

Also, I can't find the donation link for the poor family that lost their home. :c

Forb.Jok said...

Dat mane... *megusta.jpg*

BigMacintosh said...

Oh yeah great fix coming from the guy who posted Trixie as a candy bar.

Yaru said...

"Latin" version?
Wow didn't think they'd translate the show to ancient languages as well...

Celestia said...

@Yaru

Clearly it's so Dr. Whooves can help spread friendship, love and tolerance.

jodyjm13 said...

Any chance we might get the correct link to a page to help out Nicktae and her family, either in a separate post today or in tonight's Nightly Roundup?

I'll enjoy a wet-mane picture when it's done well; this one's just a recolor of a wet-mane Rarity, so I don't see what the big deal is. Of course, I also think ponies look silly whenever an artist tries to make them look sexy, so YMMV.

jodyjm13 said...

Briskby's art gets better exposure in the Discord video clip here.

Dan Guitar-Guy Gaertner said...

twilight looks so cute, i really like her... mane

Wallacoloo said...

Oh... my...
That picture, it's... nice.

^ Does this make you want to draw a wet-mane Fluttershy too? You pervert.

Hmm. Chrome recognizes "Jesus" as a name. You'd think it would at least recognize "Fluttershy" too :-[

richfiles said...

"Respect them for being hard working intelligent equines edition. -Sethfix"

Umm... so what you're basically saying Seth...
is that "they work hard for their money"?
What you be implyin' bout our ponies Seth! LOL
Wet mane ponies are just simply beautiful.
It's simply adorable! Don't resist it! /)^É›^(\

Hub using fanart on the Naughty or Nice page is full of so much win! I'd say the Hub has won an internet, but when you look at this site's page views, and how much internet we've already covered in pony, I'd say the internet is pretty much already theirs. How can I give them a free internet if they already own it ALL! Hmm... Hub! You may have my Faygo. It's orange, like Applejack, so It's obviously good, also it must be at least 1/6th as cool as Rainbow Dash, since it's one of her colors... But I already drank some though... Oh come on! I mean, really! What else can we give you. You're already taking over the whole world well enough as it is! When i figure out backyard space travel, I'll claim a planetoid in your name... Except Pluto. Pluto will always be a planet to me. I'm also pretty sure you probably have a claim to it already by now.

Also, my prayers go out to the family that lost their home.

And lastly, that Equestrian Tides interview... Oh God... The image on the page was horrific! I'm pretty sure I saw Vinyl and Celestia's hides strung up on the wall, a pony fetus, and a taxidermied Twist. Derpy is wearing Pinkies Cupcakes dress (which I HATE with a passion because it appears to have Luna's hide with her cutiemark as a part of it), and that doesn't even count the random gore like intestines, stomachs, a jar of eyeballs, and countless skeletal segments. I can't tell if the Nightmare Moon at the top is a stuffed NMM or if she has somehow returned and is influencing ponies to commit these horrors...

And all just before I call it a night...

I DON'T want sweet dreams tonight... Anything but cupcakes!

Masquerade said...

Latin?
LATIN?!
YOU DON'T SPEAK LATIN!
Much less sing it!
I... I... I...
*brain explodes*

Aerodynamic Bagel said...

I DEMAND MORE WET MANE PONIES. Twilight just looks so cute!

Adamaster said...

Can I get a source link for that Wet hair Twilight Picture
.....
please?

Skiffington said...

can someone put together a New jersey meetup? I mean...not me...cause...well...yeah.

goth-is-not-emo said...

1. Wet mane ALL the ponies!!

2. Having your fanart used by the creator of the character sounds pretty cool. :3 It's like ascended fanon, only less of a game-changer.

3. Multilingual pony vids make me smile. I especially like LA Pinkie's voice. It makes me want to cuddle her. :3

frith said...

Why are these journalists convinced that bronys are only guys? Women, dude, respect that adult women fans of Friendship is Magic are just as excited and vibrant as the adult men who are fans! So, we're estimated at 45,000 bronys now? And look: we're creating jobs by pestering Hasbro with our demands! I think if you like answering fanmail, check out the PR department of your local Hasbro office, they're probably hiring. X^D

Ponyus said...

who painted rarity purple? oh... wait... oh, my....

mesha said...

Yup, the latin songs weren't bad as expected, I (and fellow latin bronies) like a lot how Pinkie sings, but not as much when she talks.

WritersBlah said...

Not sure why I'm liking the title image so freaking much...I'm liking it WAY more than I should...confound my sick fetishes.

Freaking awesome to hear about the fan art. It's true; some works seem nearly indistinguishable from official artwork!

Also, Octavia clock ftw.

soph93 said...

latin version? wow ponies in ancient Rome!

Nei said...

@Aether Dash
Oh Pony is Poni in spanish :3

domenic said...

Miss Sparkle are you trying to seduce me?

Demonu said...

@soph93
No, it's Latin America.
Too bad because actual Latin would be so awesome.

DJB123 said...

Yeah, title image is a recolor but it's a recolor that makes me very very happy. :D

WET MANE ALL THE PONIES.

MintBerryCrunch said...

Glad to see you're all liking my recolor :D

twebb001 said...

@Kayriel Kay stop feeding the parasprites.... now I have to find a damn tuba...

flintyoungblood said...

So awesome... /)^É›^(\

Gold said...

Hey, guys-
I'm the one who sent in the stuff about Nicktae. If you'd like to help, I'm gathering the donations, ect. My jounral has all the information

Gadvac said...

@bestpony? AJ ;)
That's Lewis Brindley, actually.

Secret Pony said...

OH MY GOD!!! I WANT THAT CLOCK SO BAD RIGHT NOW!!! MAYBE CHRISTMAS WILL COME EARLY???? PLEASE COME EARLY!!!!

Tosxychor said...

I could kill for dat Twilight.

Salsa said...

Am I the only one who thinks wet-maned Fluttershy won't look any different, and Rarity's devastated expression would completely ruin hers? :P

Dantes_Grill said...

Chris Bryne sounds like a nice guy ^^,

Mike said...

I just came back from a 3-day vacation and looked over all the blog's updates in the time I was gone. Needless to say, my brain is full of pony.

Also; Hub using fan art? this could potentially be really cool if it plays out right.

blabbytaco said...

....was the cough necessary?

RazorEye said...

Oh Twilight, why do you always put my status as a brony in question?

nathvar said...

That Twilight picture... Why can't my female friends look like that around me?!?!

tonyday said...

What would Pinkie Pie look like wetmaned, I wonder?

Sethisto said...

I don't see how calling Dash a "douche" because of how she treated Tank, and then turning around and saying that Tank ruined the episode is a joke. Or how making such a huge fuss and telling the show's creators to "start making sense" because Dash's feather stretched is a joke. I'm assuming you are Vanacus, the moderator. You, I did not have much to complain about. I don't personally agree with your opinions, but hey, whatever. Your co-hosts however are frankly just obnoxious. I personally think they sound like what trolls would sound like if they actually acted the way they do online irl. Again, I don't agree with their opinions, but if they didn't act so grating I wouldn't have a problem with them. 

I don't know if all that is an act for the show or what, and if it is then I'd suggest they figure out a new schtick . Of course, this is just my opinion. I personally don't wanna have to hear some guys screaming on a podcast for 45 minutes. Most of the podcasts and radio stations I listen to have people who speak in clear, even tones. But hey, if you guys have been able to attract an audience doing what you're doing, then far be it from me to tell you how to run your show. This is just the griping of one particular person. Don't let the detracting opinion of one person outweigh the encouraging opinions of tens of hundreds of thousands. 

Ariel said...

Soooo love that twilight wet mane image! *squee!*

I love Pinkie's voice in the Spanish videos. (yeah that was totally Spanish.) I think it would be good for me to watch them in Spanish as I'm still trying to learn. I've gone past the point where I can learn just from books and teachers.

Yes..wet mane ALL the ponies...seriously...dooooooo iiiiiiit.

I actually read this hoping there would be more wet manes. ^^"

And I totally love that clock. I'm very much considering bidding on it. :) But it wouldn't fit with the theme of my room. :( I could, of course, always CHANGE the theme of my room just for said clock.

Shadow said...

WTF OMG ITS AN IMPOSTER! Derpy416 IS AN IMPOSTER. REAL ONE IS http://dreckerjones.deviantart.com/journal/who-is-this-guy-280400156?offset=25#comments
