Nightly Roundup #189

Time for some winter stuff! Hearth Warming Eve is just a few hours away...   It's going to be a rough couple of weeks waiting for the season to start back up though! Confound these breaks. 

Have some news! 


Mcdonalds Ponies Invading all Over Europe


The actual toys are the normal Mcdonalds pony figurines, but the advertising they are using... just why. These things are hideous.


Fiends from Dream Valley Popping Up at BroNYCon

The much anticipated Fiends from Dream Valley pony platformer will be making an appearence at the upcoming BroNYCon in January. 



I can't wait for this one. It's really shaping up to be something epic.


Worms: Reloaded Pony Mod


This crazy mod was recently created for all the Worms Reloaded fans out there. Check out this deviant art page for more information on getting it yourself!


Ponies Invade:

A Fence:

It's so pink!


A School Art Room Window:

Luna is best window.



Fanfiction Poll

Someone has created a poll to try to determine the most popular type of fanfiction in the fandom. If you are a reader, or an author, you might want to hit it up!


Brony Game Awards


Have some copy paste:

The voting for the Brony Game Awards are going on right now, Here is your chance as bronies to decided which games, from 2011 deserve to be recognized. So if you haven't voted yet then check out this link and vote: http://www.friendshipbrigade.com/polls.htm. Also there will be a livestream event on January 16 to announce the winners of the Brony Game Awards on the Friendship Brigade livestream channel. More info on The Friendship Brigade website.


Runescape Guild "Running of the Leaves" event

Copy Paste:

The Runescape Guild "Bronyville" is having a running of the leaves at 3:00 pm pacific standard time on Saturday December 17th on world 38. The event is open to everyone, F2P, P2P, Clan-member or not. Join the clan as a guest or PM "Clawdragons" to learn where to go. It's mostly for fun, so we hope you'll come along. Rules will be explained at the start of the event. Come along and let's annihilate the trees of Gielinor!


Ponies Appear on Top 10 List for 2011 Memes on Smosh

Smosh is at it again, with more pony! I'm pretty sure it's common sense that FiM is a pretty massive meme, and much past that, but have another top 10!


My Little Pony: Brony Edition

A group is putting together a "brony" edition of FiM, similiar to other abridged series. Check out their first episode below!










Equestria Radio Station

Yep! Another one. These guys will be broadcasting music 24/7, with live shows/song requests on Saturday at 5:00 PM PST.

Check out the site here.

That McDonald's image is truly frightening.

BigMacintosh said...

I'm still too sad about the end of Fallout Equestria to be happy about the new episode. Its a sad day.

XyroTR1 said...

Tiny Trixie is pretty damn adorable.

SteCisTTWG said...

Worms, eh? Good idea... *downloaded*

SunsetSprinkles said...

Ok. I really must sleep...

Mr 8000 said...

FU*yay*K!! There was a brony meet up in Adelaide?!? How did I miss this?!

Space King said...

Well, those McDonalds boxes will be sufficient to fuel my nightmares for the next few weeks.

InkBluPegasus said...

YAY!!! I'M IN THAT ADELAIDE MEET PIC! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!! But you can't see my awesome Rarity necklace :(

AppleDash said...

I was going to go to that brony meet today. Oh well, maybe next time.

Loneheart said...

That happy meal ad... It's only 2am, I can go without sleep tonight

Fantastic Mr. Greed said...

Yes finally a Southwest Virginia Brony website YES!

sa_Spog said...

The meetup was awesome. Seems my photo curse lives on...

Captian64 said...

>The mcdonalds image: NSFW!

> Dream Valley announcement: The footage of the graphics the video showed looks really well made.

> Ponies invade: All your fence and school window are belong to ponies.

>MLP BE: 20 minutes of Brony content? AWW YEAAH!

> SA Brony meetup: Impressive indeed.

> Filly Trixie Beanie: What can I say other then AWWWWWW!

BronyRad said...

I move from Adelaide back to the US and then there's a meeting..... Ughhhhh

InkBluPegasus said...

@sa_Spog

It was, wasn't it? Lots of people there.

BTW, equestrianrhythm.blogspot.com

XD

Rob said...

Hey Adelaide Bronies... what was that website again?

Laurence Brown said...

Seth, normally I don't give a buck about your typos and/or weird grammar errors (Celestia knows I make just as many if not more). 99 times out of 100 I can figure out what you mean, and with all the work you put in keeping this site running, and me happily drowning in ponies, I can easily overlook the occasional misspelled word.

Disclaimer out of the way, please clarify about the 'box pony' thing from the European McDonalds. I can read your comments about them in a couple of different ways. The first is to take what you wrote verbatim and that the pony toys aren't ponies but some sort of freakish half breed between a pony and a Happy Meal box. The other has me think you typoed and that they have the normal ponies as toys, and just used a really... creepy? Weird? Let's just say messed up picture of them as Happy Meal boxes for the advertisement.

Please clarify? While the first option is scary, I'd rather be a bit sad for the European bronies than have my brain all confuzzled, especially just a few scant hours before a new episode. Thanks!

InkBluPegasus said...

46 times that URL was repeated!

Once again, go to equestrianrhythm.blogspot.com

lmaozorzz said...

OMG! My window made it into the Roundup! <3!!!

Hermes said...

Can anyone find out where in Europe those toys will be? I'll be visiting Germany, Italy and Lithuania starting tomorrow for a month and I can't pass up this opportunity to get a toy!

lmaozorzz said...

OMG! My window made it into the Roundup! <3!!!

XyroTR1 said...

PS: that Texas meet on Sunday? Yeah, I'll be there. You all should come too!! :D

InkBluPegasus said...

Oh sweet Celestia, those McDonalds boxes....it burnsssssss.....

Jacen Caedus said...

I gotta say if there is EVER a Brony meetup anywhere near southeastern CT, I do not care what I have to do I WILL BE THERE
on an unrelated note, HOLY F*yay*K THOSE PONY BOXES ARE SCARY, especially Fluttershy, strangely enough

ninonybox said...

One finally is being held in PA...and its nowhere close to my area.

Octavia said...

Confound these newfangled breaks! /shakes cane menacingly

Oh, at first I thought you meant the boxes were the toys themselves. I was like; "... wat?" lol That image is indeed a bit... odd. Twilight and Fluttershy's smiles scare me the most in this.

lol That Worms Reloaded Pinkie landscape. Pinkie, your mane seems... to be on fire. So... yeah. Just thought I'd let ya know.

Whoa, that has to be one of the most pink fences I have ever seen. And d'awwww, Luna with a Santa hat peeking out the class window. <3

The fanfiction poll... eh, I see I'm in there. With some shipping fics too... those are the one I kinda cringe at instead of Cupcakes. lol

I haven't played more than half of the games in the Brony Game Awards category's, so I can't really vote on that. Unless I simply vote without knowing all the titles at least somewhat, but that seems eh. So I'll leave that to those more versed on them. :P

Huh, anther site that put MLP within the top ten memes of 2011. The top meme lists seem to be almost identical from site to site with little variations here and there and of course MLP is on all of them. At least all the ones I've seen so far.

D'awwwwwwwww, the little Trixie beanie. Too much cute in such a tiny package. <3

SgtGarand said...

lmao those boxes. That Flutterbox just makes me laugh so hard. I wonder what kind of art this will fuel. ....if any
Now, time for sleep


That beanie Trixie is cute, but I really wanted that Scootaloo from a little while back. If only it was bigger, I'd have bought it. But, it's ok, I found a Pinkie Pie. yay, now I won't be pony-less

reclaimedvalor said...

INB4 boxified pony clopfics and rule 34 pics

PhantomBadger said...

Dat McDonalds Twilight Sparkle Rapeface o.e

Zamoonda said...

On a Cross & Arrow isn't listed among the "which is your favorite fanfic?"

Disappointed.

sellyme said...

The SA Brony Meetup was incredible, and we were ALL impressed at 60 people showing up, we were expecting far less. Go South Australia!

SgtGarand said...

As for the fic survey, I tossed my vote for Silent Ponyville and for all time, The Silent Shore. Was torn between that and Past Sins, since I don't read much fanfic anyways, but I could see myself reading Silent Shore more than once. It's not too long, has great atmosphere, and kept me interested. And if you happened to miss that post, I do recommend the read

Ashton said...

OMFG! What were those marketing guys tripping on?! This is going to give kids, no, EVERYONE nightmares!!! Seriously WTF?!?!?

And I'm just waiting to see how high of a bid seth puts in for that Trixie Plush ;) (not that she isn't absolutely d'awwwww)

sellyme said...

@InkBluPegasus Damn straight! It was so worth getting kicked out of Target.

A.J. Scriber said...

Damn it all, why do I always have to work during the Pittsburgh meetups?!

ScrewBall the Dodo said...

WerewolfNobody said...

I feel like a creeper in that pic... ironic, since I'm wearing a creeper hat. SA Brony meetup was SO AWESOME /)^3^(\ so needs to happen again soon.

Also... that Mcdonalds ad is terrifying...

InkBluPegasus said...

@sellyme

We got kicked out of Target?

sellyme said...

@InkBluPegasus Yeah, we were told to make room in the aisles so people could walk through, but that was kinda impossible, so we were told to make our purchases and leave.

InkBluPegasus said...

@sellyme
Ouch. At least I got my Fluttershy there when I did.

Bluebell said...

FLUTTERSHY
THAT MCDONALDS BOX THING IS NOT MY FLUTTERSHY
NONONONO

James Corck said...

Ponies in European Happy Meals, OH MY GAAAAAAAAWD!!!

Soggy_Doggy said...

That SA Meetup was the greatest!
Target was hilarious, the clerk's expressions were priceless...

@sellyme That was some mighty fine website plugging you did!

@InkBluPegasus That necklace was awesoem btw, and again, some awesome plugging. Oh and that Jingle was brilliant.

PS - http://equestrianrhythm.blogspot.com/

Heh Heh

ultra8 said...

Though that McD's image is totally frightening I'll have to admit I'm jealous that it's going to be a team up with Pokemon. I think the US ver. was teamed up with Hotwheels which I'm neutral towards.

Fiends of Dream Valley is almost complete..(squee)..cough..I mean awesome.

InkBluPegasus said...

@soggydoggy

Thanks! Made it at school for my project. I need to make more! Jingle is going ahead?

InkBluPegasus said...

@soggydoggy

Chaoyll said...

Wow that's a scary McDonalds image. o.O ... But holy crap! Ponies in McDonalds in Europe? At last! I hope they come to the McDonalds here in the UK too and I'll buy them all. c: Might even get the Pokemon ones too, since Pokemon is awesome.

Soggy_Doggy said...

@InkBluPegasus
DOUBLE POST!
But yeh, me and Multi need to find a neat tune, or make one :S
Then we'll record us singing it on my FANTASMAL microphone.

It will be the ultimate badness! Singing anyway!

Soggy_Doggy said...

Oh and you should check out the Aftermath post on ER.
It pretty awesome and it would be more so if we could get a nice little chat going with some of the people that attended.

InkBluPegasus said...

Oops! Double post XD Well, I can always lend my voice too, as a background singer...

The Numberman said...

Sweet delicious Coffee Frappe. So many people at the SA meet, good work Adelaide!

jaconok said...

MLP toys in the danish Mac D's?
Seems like i'm going to be spending a lot of time in the city soon.

jodyjm13 said...

A Southwest Virginia Bronies group? I suspect I'm too far southwest to be very active in it, but I'll check it out...

Fuzzle said...

Sweet! Brony Edition made it to Equestria Daily! The guys will be thrilled, I bet. :D

Hubba_Bubba said...

Why are Antipodes and It Takes a Village in the Shipping-List, while there is some shipping in Antipodes, it's clearly an Adventure story isn't it? And It Takes a Village doesn't have much shipping either, friendshipping yes...

Anyhoo, nice poll, I'd love to see the results.

Luke said...

And suddenly "My Little Happy Meal" boxes has a giant fanbase, and fannon lore outlining the history of the happy meal boxes....

sellyme said...

@Luke I just had a fic about their history sent to me for proof-reading+editing. God damn this fandom is fast.

Europe?
Belgium is in Europe :D Could it finally be?

*Le goes to mcdonalds.be*
Puss in boots figurines? >_>

John said...

*gasp* I recognize that fence! That's on Carnegie Mellon University's campus (in Pittsburgh) - students keep painting messages over others on the fence, over and over again. It's like the school's bulletin board, but way more fun.

Fly Amanita said...

The Twilight Happy Meal does a pretty good troll face. As for the Fluttershy box... I'm not going to think about it anymore.

Chikorita said...

It'd kind of suck for me if the FiM and Pokemon promotions went on at the same time... HOW'D I CHOOSE JUST ONE? I probably should've just bought the Pokemon set when the toys were out in the US because I ended up with THREE Oshawott and a Zoroark... gave two of my Oshawott away.

Cyl said...

You can't give last minute notice to a meetup like that pittsburgh guys. I doubt I can attend because of the short notice. I might try.

Pinstar said...

Woohoo! Thanks for tossing my Worms mods up there Seth. I'm hard at work on my next Pony map and sound bank!

Tracy said...

pokemon AND ponies? I need to move to europe.

Celestia said...

That advert is hideous, why did they feel the need to terrify potential customers?

Either way it's good news, nice roundup overall and Luna is best window pony.

Ten said...

Going to have nightmares over that McDonalds image now

Bloodface said...

I don't always play Runescape, but when I do, it's because of ponies.

Tuuc said...

McDonalds ponies, at least in Finland:

Mooell said...

Well I was in McDonalds just today and the toys weren't ponies, so those toys aren't in Ireland anyway, which isn't that surprising as the show has never aired here.
Which European countries are they actually in? Other than Finland of course.

Son Gopaul said...

Sees McDonalds Pony toys.
Ignores disturbing picture, but Pokemon too? Sounds cool.
Notices it's NOT in the UK.
Sheds a tear...

I work at a McDonald's, so as soon as I hear MLP being announced for the UK I will let you guys know. Should be about a month beforehand.

shadowfalcon76 said...

Oh wow a meetup in Dallas I can actually attend this time. I might just go.

d6f6ce1e-28e9-11e1-bb18-000bcdcb2996 said...

That's not just any fence. That's the CMU fence. It has more layers of paint than any other object in the world. And now, one of those layers is Ponies.

waffle911 said...

DAT CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY PONY FENCE. I was wholly surprised that I recognized that fence in the photo even though I don't go there; just familiar from my time there for a summer program a few years back.

SticktheFigure said...

D'aw, just saw the Pitt meetup now. Thirty minutes before it's over.
Maybe next time.

Admiral Awesome said...

Huzzah for the Carnegie Mellon Fence!

frith said...

@sellyme Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't know whether SA meant South America, San Antonio, South Africa or South Australia. I was leaning towards San Antonio.

frith said...

I looked at the Happy meal part of the Belgian Mcdonalds site and right now the promotional toys are Puss in Boots figurines (Chat Potté, which is strange, I thought it was le Chat Botté, but maybe that's taken on a sexual innuendo). Does this mean parts of Europe have already missed the Pony Happy Meal wave? It looks like Germany is also promoting Puss in Boots, not Ponies. Check out the animated Happy Meal box on the German site.

60 fellow bronies at the Malls Balls.
Wow
