Nightly Roundup #185

Remember the Pinkie Pie under your tree a few nights ago? She is mysteriously gone, replaced by Derpy.  I hope you are happy. 

Have some news while you figure out what to do with her.

Crossword Puzzle Solution!

Last night there was another crossword puzzle in the roundup. For those that gave ita shot, check the solution out below:

Thanks to Lucian for this one!



Dungeons of Dreadmoor Plugs Pony


This looks like a game I might be interested in...  Actually, I think it may be time to resub to Ultima Online!  Anyway, they tossed a reference to MLP in with the recent patch.  Smithing is magic apparently!


Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo Invites Tara Strong

She has the best job ever.  Twilight Sparkle one day, conventions everywhere the next.

For those heading over to the 2012 Comic and Entertainment Expo in Calgary, Tara Strong will be attending one of the panels.  I'm sure more information will pop up as the event gets closer, but It's still pretty awesome news for those of you up in Canada.

It looks like shes playing a cheerleading, chainsaw wielding, zombie slayer too!




Equestria Girls hits 1,000,000 Views! 

Over on the EQD Youtube Page, it looks like Equestria Girls broke the 1 million view mark.  With 12,719 likes and 280 people that haven't yet embraced friendship.

I can't wait to see what else The Hub pulls off in the future for us!


CAKE



Apparently these were from the Minnesota brony meetup... where they ship Twilight and Nightmare Moon.   



Rainbow Dash Presents: Spiderses



Yaaaah


Another Survey

Another survey needs some question answering done for school! Charge!

Survey 1



Trottingham Pony Propoganda Contest

The Trottingham.net forums are holding a new fan art contest with a pretty impressive award.  If you are skilled in the ARTS, hit up the forum post about it here!

And a synopsis/copy paste below:
How do I enter?: We're a group centred around 6 teams (one team for each of the Mane 6) constantly doing battle with each other in various events. For this contest, simply choose 1 of the Mane 6 and make a propaganda poster for that Pony's "team" (Team Rainbow Dash, Team Pinkie Pie, etc..)
Send all submissions to MLPTeamCentralEvents@gmail.com
, and make a post in the thread linked above.

What's in it for me?: €50 worth of games on Steam, or an amazon gift card for the same amount! If that isn't a sweet prize, then I don't know what is.

When does the contest end?: The 26 of this month, at 05:00 pm(in Finland) so you better get to it!

More information or questions? Hit us up on our forum above!

This place is really fun! They have ducks year round that you can feed corn to, as well as a small zoo and indoor exhibits! We can then go for pizza at Cranky Pats Pizza, which is a few miles down the road. But what will really be fun is bronies meeting up socializing!

Corn is $1 per bag, but the Sanctuary is FREE.
Pizza is what ever you want it to be.

Unicorn with a chainsaw!
GO!

Hat said...

Wouldn't mind being gifted a pony, actually :P

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

I'll take a Derpy under my tree any day.

Bombedrumbum said...

I would like a pony gift, yes, yes I would.




These videos, oh, where do I begin?!

A thirteen minute long fanimation? Wow.

Lollipop chainsaw? Yesssss

that rainbow dash presents.........i dunno what to say...........

tara strong has always been in the background of my childhood, lol.

Congrats on 1 million!!

Johannes Schäfer said...

that`s no nightly roundup, it`s 9am in germany :D good morning and stuff for all you sleepy heads in the usa!

Bombedrumbum said...

@Johannes Schäfer Nightly Round-up. 'Means that it's a round up of the night. So we're both in the clear.

pirinja03 said...

... I wish i could go to a meetup.

MagnaDrake said...

A Zombie Slaying Hack n Slash game with our favorite Tara Strong as her Voice Actor? Must Ge- Aww poop no PC version.

DEFCON:FUN said...

The Dungeons of Dredmor item was always named that, though I believe the "Smithing IS Magic" line was added in for the new patch.

Not surprising, the game seems to be on a quest to reference ALL the things.

BronyBraeburn said...

I was looking forward to Lollipop Chainsaw but having Tara Strong play Juliet made it 20% cooler. I am so buying the minute it's available.

Aspio said...

I keep staring at the meetup lists hoping a Chicago-area one will pop up :c

DashAttack said...

I remember watching the trailer for Lollipop Chainsaw a while back, but once again failed to realize that Tara Strong was Juliet's VA. Her range is ridiculous.

Already had thoughts of picking it up (becuase Suda 51 is a crazy bastard), but that definitely nudged it towards "have to have it" territory.

Hat said...

I like the idea of a wildlife sanctuary meetup. Seems like a really fun thing to do.

CharginChuck said...

Dear Princess Celestia,

Having friends is a wonderful thing, but today I learned that when you're surrounded by zombies, the best friend you could possibly have is a huge freakin' chainsaw.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle.

Gypsy said...

spiderses as usual...sucks bawls

BlankFlankBrony said...

@Aspio, I know the feeling. Haven't seen any meetups in the Spokane area; closest ones would be Seattle/Portland/Calgary/Vancouver/Boise, at 300+ miles away for any of them.

Select Few said...

"Rainbow Dash Presents: Spiderses."

My body, it isn't ready.

That Which Speaks said...

I'm sorry, I look at the picture of Derpy Hooves and the first thing I think of is:
"I'm the Queen of France." *tinny drum music*

Don't ask me why.

Octavia said...

Derpy instead of Pinkie? Eh, I'm sure I will make due... *cuddles Derpy tightly* <3

That's a really small subtle pony plug in the Dungeons of Dreadmoor game. But hey, still cool. I think some games are realizing plugging a pony reference in some way is one way to net themselves a good couple thousand or so extra players. ;)

Yay, Tara Strong. But I thought all cheerleaders were chainsaw-wielding zombie killers? No? Misinformed all this time! D: But seriously, that looks like a rather... interesting game. I like how rainbows were just emerging from some of the sliced up zombies. Reminds me of an ATHF episode. *smile* <3

Hey! I just saw about an hour or two ago the Equestria Girls video hit over a million views and said wow. What a coincidence.

That second cake... haha. That gave me a good laugh. I think that might be the first shipping cake I've seen. Definitely the first with Nightmare Moon licking somepony. :P

That Spiderses video... Lmao! I wonder if Argembarger has seen this yet. He's coming over here in a couple days. If by some odd miraculous chance he hasn't by then, he's so going to. lol Though they did rewrite it. But still, it was utterly hilarious.

cjwcjwcjwcjw said...

Bit too late on Spiderses eh? It came out LOOONG time ago...

CityFlyer502 said...

Well what do you know. I finally stayed up long enough to post in a nightly roundup. Last time that happened was last week. I'll chalk this up to pony-induced insomnia. But getting back on topic, plenty of good reads here as usual. Did the survey, realized I'm not so pathetic with crosswords as I thought, oggled at the merch, and lamented the fact that I'm nowhere near Wisconsin at the moment (in New York BTW.) OK, maybe now I can get some sleep.

Lord Bloomberg said...

Am I the only one that did the crossword? :(

Nathaniel said...

Derpy <3
Pinkie Pie might wear me out with the partying and write on my face with a sharpie, so Derpy is a safer gift :P

chinlamp said...

Does anyone else think that the cheerleader Tara Strong is voicing has a colour scheme very similar to Twilights as well?

Xeddrief said...

Best version of spiderses yet.

Matoro said...

Uh oh. This is a sign I have been staying up late procrastinating! I need'a study for my finals! D:

Jordan said...

@Lord Bloomberg
I'd do it if I could get to the computer in our house with the printer.

archiveit said...

Yes, I would very much prefer a Derpy under my tree.

And Spiderses . . . Oh boy.

Ashton said...

Both videos showed up the same for me...
and I'm still asking myself WTF I watched... (closest I can get is a very drunk Dr-Mrs-The-Monarch reading a fanfic she wrote while in the same state...)

Though props still go out for such a long fan-animation...

David Kreutz said...

Did someone say chainsaw unicorn? http://www.modestmedusa.com/?p=108

Stormy Seas said...

Oh Derpy, you're not a...wait. You know what? You are a gift. The best one under the tree.

Dragryphon said...

TwiMoon is obviously the best ship. So says your Queen!

-NightmareMoon

ryan said...

Oh good, I've been keeping an eye on Lollipop Chainsaw for a while now.

Firleycat said...

So Tara Strong is staring in the new Suda 51 game. Every time she turns up in one of his games, she is doing something crazy. First she was a girl who could open barriers by cutting her wrists. Then she was spiting acid in a prison and later playing a goth assassin. Now she is a cheerleader cutting through zombies with the head of her boyfriend tied to her waist.

I seriously wonder about Suda 51 sometimes.

Nagi Surichiro said...

@Aspio
Actually, there's a group on Facebook called the Midwest Brony Division. We're always looking for members. it's centered between Chicago and Green Bay.

cheezesauce said...

LOL that Twiluna cake! awesome stuff

Wento said...

spiderses xD "if you don't do i right i will eat you" :D poor bic mac

Javadocs said...

Just letting everypony know, I was at the meet up with the cakes.

THEY WERE SO TASTY.

MassDistraction said...

More like an easter egg, Derpy.

anzul said...

about derpy... hmm... i would grab her and lock her in a room...


...just for 7 seconds, then open the door and find myself crushed by a huge amount of either bits or muffins (though decision, huh?)

Hillyan said...

Have arachnophobia, watches Spiderses video against better judgement. Story kinda sucked if you ask me.

Clonetrooperkev said...

Looks at Pinkie- Looks at Derpy

No question here

Takes both of them :3 I wuv them both

Josh Spicer said...

Took ya this long to notice Lollipop Chainsaw?

I saw that when I watched Green Lantern last month.

Can't wait to play it.

palatank said...

Derpy over pinie every day, why?
How could anyone say no the inevidble question
"can we keep her?"
especcially with the eyes

David said...

I think it's awesome to see Tara Strong getting invited to all these awesome events!

Just...don't perch her up in the bleacher seats...Spike TV.

Seriously, so disrespectful.

@Aspio

Same here. There was one 2 weeks ago, but I couldnt attend due to a busy schedule.

Abb_eliten said...

I would love either one of them :)

Dan Guitar-Guy Gaertner said...

That Derpy pic always makes me d'aww

Benschachar said...

I don't think it's been mentioned but apparently Adam and Blair (sp?) were confirmed to be bronies on xplay by Morgan Webb during the xplay inbox portion of the program yesterday.
Don't know what it's worth, just thought I'd say.

Phantom240 said...

If I found Derpy tangled up under my tree like that, I would probably explode.

ombutescentdin said...

Is it even possible to refuse a derpy fro a gift? I think not.
