Know Your Meme - A Visual Analysis of the Pony Apocalypse.

The team over at Know Your Meme has put together the chart above to demonstrate their theory on how we all ended up becoming pony obsessed fiends. 

It does appear to be pretty accurate!

Have Rainbows and friendship been locked away deep within our minds for years now?  Only released when the "time is right" and everyone else is doing it?

Truly this is a perplexing conundrum.

Maybe Friendship is Magic really was the final nail in the coffin.

Anyway, back to reading about multi-color equines handling multi-dimentional devices for the betterment of ponies everywhere (This story is awesome btw).

Music: Ponystomp - General Mumble

Remix time!  This one seems to mix various parts of everything, so nothing too specific.  You can find it after the break as always!

Music: Sonic Rainboom (Just an Old Mares Tale)

Another awesome remix from Notacleverpony. This time focusing on Rainbow Dash!

You can find it after the break!

War Pony Sculpture

BigPonyMac over on DA is at it again, this time releasing a badass war pony sculpture.  That thing must have taken a ton of time to make!  We have so much talent in this community over such a broad spectrum, it always amazes me. 

More images + a Rainbow Dash tile after the break!

Drawfriend Stuff #79

We haven't had a controversial Shipping drawfriend post in a while!  So DashxSpitfire Edition since half of this damn drawfriend is those two! And hey, its acutally 20 this time. I didn't go 15 over!

Flash Game Seeking Music!

Another MLP Flash game is looking for assistance! This time he isn't seeking...90% of the team!

All this fair brony needs is a musician to compose some scores, or existing ones that are willing to let him use theirs. 

A Preview of the game is below the break, demonstrating what he has accomplished so far.  It looks pretty neat!  And it's all Flash this time.

If you are interested in helping out, you can find his DA Page Here, as well as some additional screenshots/information.

Blind Bags Are Identifiable.

A Brony on the Allspark Forums found out something neat about the blind bag ponies that are suddenly appearing everywhere except the US!  At least the ones in Hungary.

Each pony is apparently assigned a unique code, meaning these bags aren't as "blind" as originally intended.

*UPDATE* Codes have apparently rolled around ponychan for a while now, here is an image of all of them. 


So, instead of buying 30 bags in an attempt to get a fluttershy, you will just need to identify the code for one!  Unfortunately,  we only have five known codes.  The rest will need to be discovered by you non-American bronies!

Thanks to BB-Shockwave from the Allspark Forums for this info! And -treehugger for all of the codes!

Equestria Daily Sold to Microsoft

Story: Better Living Through Science and Ponies

[Crossover] Epic length Portal crossover time? Why, I do believe that is in fact the case.  Hope you guys don't have plans this afternoon!

Author: Pen Stroke, Assisted By Batty Gloom
Description: GLaDOS is free of Chell, free to continue testing, when she discovers a portal gun Wheatley tried to repair with duck tape. When the portal gun catastrophically fails, the enrichment center, GLaDOS, and Chell are literally dropped in the middle of Equestria. The mute test subject soon finds the world of ponies far more welcoming than the human world. But GLaDOS sees possibilities. Let the testing begin... for science.

Tired of checking Big Lots?  Discouraged by the insane prices on Amazon and Ebay?

Well worry not! Some random website that I've never heard of is taking pre-orders for the 4 pack. 

But these are pre-orders...so this might mean these are about to become readily available everywhere! 

At least I hope this is the case.  Anyway, you can find the website below, and the ponies for the easy price of  $10.50.

I originally had all of these embedded, but apparently embedding 9 videos isn't really a good idea performance-wise, so links will do!
