• Nightly Roundup #178 - Trixie!

    So, I got this in the mail the other day.  Apparently the DC brony meetup group sent one to each of us.  We appreciate it! Thanks guys!  Bonus points for the Greatest and Most Powerful pony of course.

    Have some news!

    I'm going to go take a break now... holy crap so much news.  Ignore the typos!  

    Pony Hairstyle Guides

    If you bought a pony toy, and have Rarity level OCD bout the messyness, a massive step by step guide has been released to help you all out.

    There is also an Applejack's hat guide, because she needs a hat. A hat-less Applejack is like Rainbow Dash without wings.

    Both sections can be found at the deviant art pages below!

    University of Oklahoma  Daily Newspaper Pony Article 

    Another College newspaper has been hit by the pony.  Check it out here!


    Ponies in Brazilian Newspaper 

    Sadly it hasn't been fully translated, but I've been told by Petra (The person that sent the image) that the general gist of the article is that pony isn't just for little girls anymore.  Pretty neat!

    EDIT: Translation added thanks to Federico

    A design full of colorful ponies and cute songs. Something for girls right? WRONG. The animation "My little pony: friendship is magic" featured in the discovery kids channel, makes a success among kids and teenagers.
    The fanaticism is such that they call themselves "bronies". "Brony is a guy older than ten years that watches the cartoon", tells Felipe Martins, 16, creator of a site dedicated to the subject. A "bronie" site exists already in english: www.equestriadaily.com. It reached almost 80 million views!
    The cartoon tells the story of Equestria, a world where ponies can talk and sing. Among the characters, there are unicorns and even a pegasus that leaves rainbows in its way.
    Most bronies started watching the show on the internet. It was with the premiere, last 21st, that the show became popular among the newest members.
    "My little pony: friendship is magic" features on Mondays at 8, on Discovery Kids.

    Dutch Meetup

     Woah, there are a ton of you out there in The Netherlands.  They gave me some copy pasta, so have it:
    Hello everypony!

    We’ve done it again! After two earlier successful two-monthly meets back in October and August we’ve successfully finished our third meet in Utrecht, The Netherlands! The amount of people that came doubled from 26 to a whopping 59 since the second meet!

    We rented a place in Utrecht to keep our hoofsies warm and had a lot of fun in the few hours we were together. Card- and boardgames were played, pony-related music was played, new people were met, interesting conversations were held and at 4 pm our time we all watched the live stream episode together! This resulted in 59 people bursting into singing the intro tune together and a lot of cheering was heard several times during the episode (and boo-ing when commercials came along). All in all, it was great fun!

    We hope to see all of you again on February 4th to help us wrap up winter and with a bit of luck, the amount of bronies in the Netherlands will continue to grow! Please visit www.bronies.nl for future updates about our next events and help us to make the community even bigger!

      I love that Scootaloo piano piece, somepony give me the sheet music!!

      Doctor whooves has some explaining to do with those doctor who pics >.>

      I could probably play that Winter Wrap Up song- woah, if I did a duet with my brother, maybe

      Joy... rising... maximum happiness achieved!

    10. Loved the Doctors! Doctor spotting is gonna be my new hobby. And, Seth, ending this Roundup with "Then I took an arrow to the knee" has elevated you to alicorn tier in my book.

      Ooohh, hairstyle guides!
      Man I love this site. I spent like half an hour listening to MandoPony's EqD Song today. It was lovely. =D

    11. Confound these roundups.
      They drive me to sleep during school.

    12. The Dr Whooves is getting to the point I have to believe the FiM team *IS* purposefully adding them. It's becoming too "coincidental" that all the ponies with the hourglass match up to the various incarnations of The Doctor... (since the official explanation is "all background ponies get a random cutie mark")

      Not that I'm complaining, of course :D

    18. "96 years ago, they broke off from the Russian Empire"

      Oops. My bad. Should have been 94 years.
      My only excuse of feeding this misinformation for you (readers and EqD staff both) is that I sent the submission at 4 am local time :)

      ReplyDelete
    19. Dr Who's pony incarnations are both many and awesome as is scootaloo's silent theater thing.

      The rest of the news is good, and Fluttershy gamecube? wow, I think I still have mine somewhere.

      Now that he's done the story updates perhaps Seth can finally have his break.

      ReplyDelete
    20. That's a lot of news (read in Matthew Broderick's voice).

      ReplyDelete
    21. Oh boy, this is a pretty long one indeed.

      The signed Trixie posters are kinda cute, awww.

      More pony toy hair guides, very nice. Those can be extremely helpful and a valuable piece of info for anyone that likes to really stylize their hair in just the right ways. :>

      For the "Dr Whoof" ponies, well, of course as we know cutie marks are recycled and reused a lot. I find the 3rd and 5th Doctors to perhaps be a little more of a stretch. But I did notice the model people are basing the 11th Doctor around. And I know many others also noticed it right away. They're pretty good match-ups and certainly look kinda like them.

      Yay, piano-playing Scootaloo. Looks like she's been practicing a lot. And maybe rolling around in toxic waste...

      Ooh, wooden pony sculptures. That's new and unique. Think I may have to enter the drawing for one of those.

      Well-written and nicely organized article with that college newspaper.

      Don't know what the Brazilian article says, but hey, ponies! lol

      The Winter Wrapup piano piece is very lovely. That'd be pretty hard to solo I'd think.

      Not really a Gamecube fan myself. A Ponystation fan. C wut I did thar? Doh ho ho. But Fluttercube is nice. :3

      Yet another survey trying to figure out which pony among the main cast is the most popular? Eh. Many people switch here and there. And opinions and views change over time. So the most popular likely will too. :P

      The Little Big Planet ponies strike me as cute... yet a little creepy-looking. lol Sorry. Also, Dash looked kinda like a squirrel to me in the image at first. xD

      Yelling at Cats? Dat alias. Haha. Song called Shipping with Care... d'oh! Well, I hope he gets some great entries for his album art contest.

      I got an early release of The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, Episode 2 but I still haven't listened to it. I want to, but I just don't think I can bring myself to unfortunately. QQ

      That Finnish PMV video was certainly... interesting. No idea what they were saying through out it. But I think that only made it more entertaining for me to watch. :P

      Of course for the charity event, everyone is saying all kids should have ponies. Can't say I disagree. Donate some ponies to those kids. <3

      I loved the NGC, but you're right, mate; the PonyStation (I c wut u did thar) was the thing to own back then. Bit of a shame there isn't any backwards compatibility, really.

      Oh and that's a pretty comprehensive summary of your thoughts of the round up. XD

    44. CONFOUND THESE ROUNDUPS
      THEY DRIVE ME TO SLEEP THROUGH MY ALARM
      Nah not really I missed my bus due to other reasons.
      But now I can pony my pony more. I also realized I didn't legitimately comment on anything in the roundup last comment, so here goes;
      -dat Trixie poster
      -Bookmarking these hair fixes, for one day I shall acquire ponies.
      -I never watched Doctor Who, but this fandom will eventually drive me to do so. Also punch me if I use the word "drive" again.
      -Too lazy to comment on everything else, but dat Fluttershy Gamecube is something else. Turns out all my favorite games are on that console. Personally I prefer Brawl, with the hacking and whatnot, but I think I had more fun when I first got Melee than when I got Brawl.
      -Someone should host a Brony Meetup somewhere around Tampa Bay. In about a year from now. When I may or may not get a car.

    55. actually the brazilian news is just giving the information about us, the commentaries bellow the article is full people saying that ponies are gays and stuff... but i wasn't waiting for something different, bronies down here are rarely found =(

      ReplyDelete
    56. That piano piece is written for at least four hands, though I think it would actually sound better with only one person playing the majority of it. It just sounds too muddled with all those notes. Really, once you get over 24 notes in polyphony, it just sounds bad.

      ReplyDelete
    57. Every time the show goes to Canterlot, we get another Time Lord pony. By the time we get to the third season, we might have all of them for a massive crossover. I really want to see a Christopher Eccleston pony and a Tom Baker pony together.

      ReplyDelete

      Another Vinyl Scratch Tapes recording? Wasn't expecting that, but it's nice to be surprised.

      Loved the PMV Hell, despite not speaking a word of Finnish. But I've never been one to let a silly little thing like foreign languages get in the way of fun. Also, He-Man sounds infinitely more awesome in Finnish.

    72. That's pretty awesome that they sent each of yall a poster. I bought one from PurpleTinker and love it. I like how it's a reference to an old Houdini poster also.

      So many Doctors. I've only seen a few of the episodes, but I like the 10th Doctor.

      Scootaloo playing the piano is just adorable. Somepony needs to combine that with Twilight dancing.

      Really liking the piano suite. Although, it does seem humanly impossible for one person to play xD

      Ah, the gamecube. Haven't played one in years.


      Sorry about the arrow there Seth...maybe I should stop firing them up in the air. I never know where they end up. Like here and here xD
