New York Times does this "words that define a year" thing, and check out what popped up at the top next to Occupy Wall Street! Good job guys! Onward to another year.

And some news after the break.  It's a short one.

The competition has begin, and with 40 competitors, this is going to be an interesting battle of sheer computing power, and determination. If you have only just found out about this competition and had an interest in it, don't fret, as latecomers are accepted. Let me (hiigaran) know if you wish to enter in the link below:

In addition, you can check your progress, and of others in the next link, which will show your progress throughout the competition. 1st and 2nd places are awarded in two categories: Most points, and most 'log points', which is a way to give people with slower computers a better chance of winning as well, if they are consistent enough with their points. 4 prizes for winners + 7 random draws...get crackin'!

Well done, bronies, well done.

You have been recognized by the New York Times.

Gypsy said...

happy new years, God/Celestia bless every single one of you ;3

Senior Waffles said...

Bahahaha. Not even ponies, "bronies"! And to top it all off, it is right up there with occupy Wall Street. Not to put ourselves down but either it's been a slow year for news or it just goes to show you how dumb the occupants really are (and then we get lumped in with them!)

CityFlyer502 said...

First roundup of the year. And what do you know. We made a segment of the NY Times. Yay! What else? A wallpaper compilation. Perfect opportunity for me to hunt down some wallpaper for my tablet. And lots of other interesting bits of info. With that being said, for the millionth time tonight, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Ink said...

Buck yeah, Bronies.
Buck yeah.


I am seriously so proud of all of you. I'm so happy I could be part of such a wonderful community- Both the good and the bad. Its been a great year, and onwards to an exciting 2012!




Get some sleep, Seth. Cereal. Phoe. Everyone at EQD.
You guys deserve it.

OR PARTY LIKE PINKIE IM NOT TRYING TO CONTROLE YOUR LIVES OR ANYTHING

Xort said...

I hate to sound like an elitist tourneyfag, but man. That guy playing Brawl kinda sucked :/

Cool skin, though.

Joel said...

Is it bad to be awake for one of these, when you live in Sweden? It is 08:53 AM here, and I haven't slept yet. :3

Cyanide said...

Speaking as a brony and an Occupier... Nice.

Bombedrumbum said...

What is the Brony@Home conpetition, anyway? I can't make much sense of it, but I think that I have a good idea

Viridian said...

So long, 2011. You were a strange one.

Infinion said...

Roman500 said...

Elijah Bigsby said...

aki1993 said...

Knuckleshy said...

Pretty excited to be part of the New York Times. 2011 I feel was a year of change and breaking down stereotypes. The occupy and brony movement proved that.

I'll have to go through the wallpapers in a little bit.

I will have to check out the pony gaming channel.

Something To Quack About said...

@naahdude

...well, it IS technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Comet said...

Wait, how come the plushie there wasn't listed in the plushie roundup? It's kinda lonely sitting there by itself without even a picture :c

DPV111 said...

Read from left to right: Crankshaft Brony Occupy Winning.

karrotline said...

lol, no successful meetups?

DRB_II said...

I saw the word on the other side of "Occupy Wall Street" first, and thought it said "whining". That was almost more awesome.

Mike said...

...happy new year again.

Ten said...

Bronies in the New York Times? Awwwwwww Yeaaaahhhhh

CircuitScratch said...

@Bombedrumbum Brony@Home is part of Folding@Home, which uses distributed computing (ie, crowd-sourced cpus) to fold proteins looking for cures for diseases and such. The competition is just a way to get a bunch of people actively folding.

Masquerade said...

With all of the other shit on there (Planking, winning, likejacking, twinkling...) I don't know whether or not to be proud to make that list.

Still proud to be a (closet) brony.

James Corck said...

Nice and short, I like this kind of Round Ups.

Besides, that New York Times picture is worth all our praise. Brony is definitely one of the most important words of 2011, for both the best and...the weirdest ^_^;

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

Wall Street Journal and New York Times in the space of three months, not bad you guys.

Lion said...

@Xort

When you play with half second of delay in your laptop for recording everybody suck.

I had good results in tourneys playing Falcon some years ago, right now i only do hacks.

And i dont suck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84NJCADZ778

ClosetBrony said...

This is an amazing fandom. Here's to an even better New Year!

RisingStar said...

wait

glasgow...meetup? I've been to glasgow. I LIVE in SCOTLAND.

I need to figure out some way to get in on this.

leila said...

Glasgow meet up!
Finally, a way to get involved.
I even made an account just for this special occasion.
(ooh, it's Glasgow, not Glasglow. But that sounds so much better)

eXiggah said...

Am I the only one who noticed there isn't a Nightly Roundup tag on this post?

Ulrik said...

Thanks!

And Happy New year from me!
