Story Updates October 30th (Evening)

TAR-DEE

Remind me not to stack two events on top of eachother anymore.  This update post is a bit more bloated than I would have liked it to be, but between email answering and pumpkin/banner compiling, I'm way behind.

If anything is broken, toss an email to sethisto@gmail.com!

Back to pumpkins!

Be Prepared PMV/Comic

Remember a while back when I was saying FiM needed a villian song?  Well a group has put taken the "Be Prepared" comic and turned it into a PMV with vocals for each part.  It's pretty well done! Check it out after the break.

FiM Art Case On the Way to Costco Stores

It looks like Costco is plannong on carrying art sets for those of you who prefer traditional media over Photoshop and Illustrator.  These were found in the "Costco Connection" magazine, with a release date of early November. 

Check out after the break for closer images of both the cases themselves, and the text that goes with them. 

Thanks to "Friendship Filly" for the information! 

Comic: Finish the Friendship / It's Twice the Fun

I'm starting to think Luna and Celestia live in opposite castles now or something.  They are just awful at coordinating their episode appearances.  That or, Celestia planned it all along, as always.

We also have some Halo below.  Did I ever tell you guys how much Cereal loves Halo? I'm surprised he hasn't ninja converted the blog into Halo Daily instead.

Halloween Banner Competition: Finalists

Source

This was definitely the hardest choice ever.  We wanted to make the poll manageable though, so 35 banners seems like a good number.

After the break at the 35 finalists for the Banner competition.  The winner will be the "official" banner of Halloween 2011.  Voting will end tomorrow morning at 11:59 AM (Since who celebrates Halloween in the morning? yeesh)

Hit up the poll on the side bar to cast your vote!

Halloween Banner Contest Post #3

What a crazy contest.   We got around 125 altogether, which is absolutely insane.  I never expected that!  This community is a creative STORM!

Due to the volume, we are choosing 35 finalists for a post one hour after this, and will hold an over-night poll to determine which one will be the official Halloween day winner.

Feel free to pick a favorite out of these and toss it in the comments. Five of them will be added to the final vote.

For convenience, find the other banners below (If you don't see your banner in the mix, it is probably already in the finals):

Banner post 1 (40 Banners)
Banner Post 2 (30 Banners)

and 24 more after the break!

For some reason, Derpy sitting like that is really cute.

And a parody of the best comic series ever below.  For those that don't know what that is, feel free to remove yourselves from EQD forever.

Story Updates October 30th (Morning)

So close to sleep. 

Confound these update posts. They may remove the clutter, but they definitely take a while. .

That art style reminds me of Wakfu for some reason.  I really should start watching season two.  

Have some updates after the break.

Nightly Roundup #142

DON'T GO TO SLEEP

Happy Halloween Eve! Have some grimdark. 

Both the Banner contest and the Pumpkin contest are now closed.  I will post the voting banners tomorrow, along with another post filled with runner ups.

Today's banner is courtesy of Sirponylancelot! Thanks dood! Vampire Luna ftw. 

Pony Wrapping Paper

Wrapping paper?! These crazy ponies!  They take over absolutely everything!  (Yah, I got nothin.)

If you are looking to ponify your Christmas/hanukkah/Chinese New Year/Ect, you might want to start with these! Apparently they are showing up at Toys R' Us.  I wonder what else they snuck in?

Singapore Report on Bronies

Straits Times in Singapore recently released this article all about the pony phenomenon.  It's pretty in depth compared to some of the other we have seen in the past, though I think the "hugging plushies to fall asleep" may have been a bit overboard. Careful guys!  You can find the print version above, and the web version (that is pretty limited) here!

Thanks to Wayne for the images.

PMV: Spider Dance // DISCORD // The Powerpuff Fillies!
