Nightly Roundup #212


For some reason I really like Celestia now.  Maybe it's this new wallpaper? I can't quite put my finger on it.

Celestia is now best pony.  That's the first time ever. 


Canterlot Toys On Clearence At Target 


For all the people out there looking to pick up some Canterlot toys, it looks like Target has them on clearance.  Maybe it's time to bust out some more custom ponies?! Yay~

2011 As Seen Through Art On Deviant Art

Another 2011 project has popped up on Deviant Art, with a small shoutout to ponies.  The end of season one was a pretty big time for all of us back then! I thought for sure EQD was doomed. Guess that didn't happen did it?

Check it out here.



Tyranids

WHAT


Pony Tatoo!


Apparently its a G4'd G1 pony named gutsy from Briksby!

Belgian Brony Meetup


That's a lot of people!

Check out the gallery here.

And the writeup!

--------------------------------------------------------------
Suttgart, Germany


After meeting at Stuttgart mainstation, we went through the shopping mile in Stuttgart to buy some blindbags. Then we went to bowling to have some sport and fun.
In the evening we watched some pony episodes (including the new episode) and talked, had fun and such things.

Groups/Meetups/Guilds Looking for More

-------------------------------------------------------------
Toronto Meetup 

Greetings! I am a student at UofT (University of Toronto) and am looking to find fellow bronies who attend UofT (or just happen to live in the Toronto area) and who would be interested in meeting other Torontonian bronies. If enough people are found perhaps we can arrange some sort of official meetup, but that will depend on the number people who reply. In any case, if you live in the Toronto area and have a love of technicoloured ponies (and would like to share that love with others) please send me an e-mail at LCI@live.ca or visit http://rainbowdash.net/group/torontobronies where a group for the GTA already exists.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Friendship is Magic Teamspeak

I'm now hosting a high-capacity (512 people) teamspeak server on a dedicated server in the central US for fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

We welcome anybody who would like to come talk about the show.

Connect to:
ts.mlpony.com/

Name: Mastercraft
IP: 206.217.141.18:25643
Friendly to Bronies!

--------------------------------------------------------------
Swedish Message Board

Greetings everypony! My name is Lunaria and I was recently inspired to try and startup a Swedish Brony message board.

It's no big secret that Svenskabronies.se have had a message board, but it never really took off. The new one which I installed is running on AcmlmBoard XD software though, which boosts a numerous functions the old board did not have, and hopefully it will take off this time! Remember, if no one gives it a try, then of course it will be empty due to the same reason!

Since the board runs on AcmlmBoard software CSS themes are loaded on profile setting basis. Which means every user can have whichever one theme that they want. Here are a few examples of different themes:
Simply Twilight
Simply Rarity
Simply Luna

This should also provide you with a decent view of the forum index page as well. If you want further info on what functions you may find on the board that are not-so-normal; feel free to check out the thread I made on the subject: [Click me]

You can also find the board index: [Right here]
I hope you join! (only requirement is that you understand both Swedish and English)

That is all, have a good day everypony!

We have to help that burger become a flying success!

Nymo said...

Who doesn't love Celestia! pleasedontsendmetothemoon...

hmm, Last I checked, my store didn't have ponies on clearance yet. that, Or local bronies snatched 'em up already.

...I would LOVE to see Germany actually name that burger "Scootaloo". Got a feeling that McD's won't let it happen, though.

True Order said...

Scootaloo burger? I don't know man. Seems awfully dark. I can't see myself doing that.

CityFlyer502 said...

It's been a while since I was awake for a roundup. And as usual, no shortage of interesting information. About that McDonalds competition; I'm all for spreading pony, but somehow Scootaloo doesn't sound like a good name for a sandwich. That's just me. Don't let my ramblings influence any of you. Now, I got some drawings to finish. Even if they can't be submitted yet, no point in putting it off or anything.

moonsugar said...

The link to the Scootaloo burger won't work for me :(

GabuEx said...

The Scootaloo burger MUST become canon.

Viethra said...

I choose you Scootaloo!

Bombedrumbum said...

The Scootaloo effin' chicken burger.


Now that is one of the greatest win's i've seen in a long time.




Jelfes is going to be so happy.........and fat ......

Bombedrumbum said...

Is it gonna be a bronified Ghost's True Capitalist Radio? :D

Alexstrazsa said...

Voted on that Scootaloo burger so hard.

Eddmario said...

How the hell do we help the burger get that name?

aki1993 said...

now at mcdonald's, get a scootaloo burger with a free toy chicken!!

Altercation said...

Ain't no for some reason about it. Celestia is awesome, and I applaud your taste, Seth.

DeusXMachina said...

I like how the burger is clearly photoshopped

Bakphoon said...

Haha, I'm looking forward to order "Scootaloo" in McDonald's :D (I'm german)

DeusXMachina said...

oh, and we are soooo close to 1,000,000, view. I can't wait!!!

Tenkoman said...

Note on the Scootaloo Burger, etc.:

Our nemesi in this competition are 4chan with the McMoot and /b/urger and krautchan with a few others. Since they use vote scripts the servers of McD are "slightly" DDoS'd.

Unknown said...

Fuck Yeah! celestia is best pony

brilliantspecter said...

OH GOD THAT SANDWICH

I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Probably because I'm laughing too hard for coherent thought.

Smoigus said...

Celestia has been best pony for a while now, glad my little bronies are now catching on

Tenyo Sciurus said...

A burger named for a joke that's gone on much too long for all the meaning it had in the show?

No, thank you. I'd vote against it if I had any idea how.

BZKlint said...

The Scootaloo Burger link appears to only work in IE.

Octavia said...

Well, though I don't agree with you have to say about best pony, I will defend to the death your right to say it. Also, yes, it's a great Celestia pic. lol

The Canterlot toys at Target have been on clearance for quite some time. Some of them anyway. Last I checked there were still acouple that had not yet reached the clearance mark I suppose. Maybe they just have, or will soon.

Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh! We need to raid that McDonald's competition. That chicken sandwich much be called Scootaloo! That would be simply hilarious. Even those who don't agree with Scootaloo being called a chicken can't deny that would still be kinda funny.

Really awesome dA included ponies in their 2011 edition of As Seen Through Art collage. Nice choice if image too, really like that one.

Tyranid's painted in the colors of the mane six. lol Eerily kinda cute. I guess it might make me feel slightly less sad or scared about being slaughtered by them. Maybe.

Looks like someone got another fun pony tattoo. Congrats.

Another Brony convention, this one being held in Australia? Sounds cool. A little far for me. But if anything could make me travel great distances, it'd probably be that.

Blaze52 said...

First post on EqD :) We're almost at 100,000,000!!! WOOO!! :D

Oh, and the Scootaloo burger? YES. SO MUCH YES.

Dream Warden said...

We can't let that burger win. I would never eat a pony burger (not that I would eat that cheap unhealthy macdonalds food anyway)

Jelfes said...

@DeusXMachina We are already about one-hundred times past that.

@Blaze52 Congratulations, welcome, and yay!

I tried to vote for the Scootaloo burger, but I couldn't figure out how... :(

fajeh said...

Oh cmon, 4chan burger beats us. I think Scootaloo needs its own post

Azure said...

Not that I live in Germany, but Scootaloo burger? +1

Xalgoz said...

Need to make the Scootaloo Burger thing an individual post complete with instructions on how to actually vote for it.

Eversor Mundius said...

@Nymo
"got a feeling that HASBRO won't let it happen, though."

FTFY

Blaze52 said...

Thanks Jelfes :) I've actually been a brony since halfway through Season 1, but I finally decided I should start being an active part of the fandom.

Guarddogjr said...

Now if only we could get the scootaloo burger in the US.

Bombedrumbum said...

@Blaze52 Congratulations, and welcome!! :D

cjwcjwcjwcjw said...

Scootaloo burger? AREYOUFUCKINGKIDDINGME? As if anyone would want to eat that - bronies because it is too gruesome, non-bronies because it has a pony ref.

CityFlyer502 said...

@Blaze52 Glad to have you here. Welcome! :D

CityFlyer502 said...

Oh man. We are so close to 100 million. Must...stay...awake...

Ford said...

Ya know, I don't think the name "Scootaloo" would ever pass through legal in McDonald's.

Ulrik said...

Celestia is best pony

Grez said...

I'd love for Scootaloo to win, but I'd never be able to eat another chicken sandwich again.

So much for mobile posts...

CroissantOfNinja said...

Scootaloo burger is losing by 44,000 votes... D:

Andrew said...

Mane 6 Tyranids? That is terrifying. The Imperial Guard doesn't stand a chance :)

Acriaos said...

As for the scootaloo burger: Please go vote! We only need to get in the top 5 and McDonalds will produce the Scootaloo burger! It was the same last time, though last time some World Of Warcraft Burger won the competition.

AxelWolfen said...

All in favor of the Scootaloo Burger, raise your hoof.

We might be more successful if it had it's own post, probably with the CHAAAAAARGE tag.

More people need to vote for the Scootaloo Burger!
the "Crocksta hzumjot" burger has a 5k vote lead!
http://www.mcdonalds.de/mein_burger/index.cfm#/galerie

The Scoot burger should be its own post

Fluttertroll said...

Help the Scootaloo win!

Press the button that says "wähle mich" that means roughly Choose me. its the button on the left side of the burger with the thumbs up sign

The tattoo ponies name is GUSTY, not gutsy >.>

Pinkie Swirl said...

If you want to vote for the burger, click on yellow thumb up. (Right next to it stands "Wähl mich", which means "vote for me").

Gray Ham said...

Bah, no state named for PonyCon...

TechnoTrot said...

I'd say don't bother with the burger. The McMoot has over 47k. The Scootaloo hasn't even broken 3k.

Besides, that's just taking the joke way too far. If you support the Scootaloo burger, you support Scootabuse.

Ysalamiri said...

Belgium Meeting was nice :D Thanks guys

Fluttertroll said...

Oh and celestia might be best pony now because she got killed in the Top 5 pony poll... Sad... 302 to 99 votes... horrible... just horrible

Celestia/Trollestia deserves more love. After all paying your respects to equestria's God-Queen can't hurt right?

Hydra said...

Awww Nid Ponies I have to say I didn't see that one coming damnable Xenos!

C'mon, guys. I'm not gonna be beat by a bunch of 9gaggers.

QwaffleBot said...

All day, every day
No New Zealand Bronies
1 is truly the loneliest number

Derptastic_w00t said...

@QwaffleBot

There are plenty of New Zealand bronies out there, but for the ones (or one) like me who refuse to use Facebook there doesn't seem to be any other way to catch up and talk pony. I get the feeling I should do something about this... anyway the point is go on Facebook if you use it and have a look, theres a few groups around. I do remember reading about an awesome as one in Dunedin or Christchurch, but I don't know of any anywhere else - again, not a FB user, hoisted by my own petard

The Numberman said...

People with Facebook accounts please go like the PonyCon AU page. The admins are sadists and won't reveal the state it is in until they get 300 'likes' on Facebook.

Salahir said...

I thought about a transfer art of ponies in Warhammer 40k and started with it...but...those tyranids...omg, damnation for the empire has come oO

Scootaloo Burger for Germany \o/

Mike said...

AU confuses me: it can either mean Astronomical Units or Australia

Kayriel said...

Celestia is VERY MUCH bestpony. She's kind, caring, intelligent, wise, stern when she needs to be, and experienced.

She's like an immortal mother for everyone. Who wouldn't like her?

Also, Scootaburger. I want it.

Mane6 'nids... HERESY. FORWARD YOU DOGS, TO VICTORY!

Nyerguds said...

There was a Belgian brony meet?!

Why don't I hear about these things in time? :(

Sebbaa said...

I'm not sure I could eat a burger called Scootaloo.
But I don't eat chicken burgers anyway.

James Corck said...

I used to have a Tyrannid toy, until my dog chewed it to the screws ;_;

Be sure to join our facebook group "Dutch Bronies" or check out www.bronies.nl

Firleycat said...

I usually don't like how we raid polls with pony stuff in it but we need to have the Scootaloo burger win that poll. Many of the other burgers just seem to be bots voting for them. Between the time I voted and the time I wrote this, One burger got 10000 votes. Come on, we have to win this fairly.

Chaoyll said...

I always get really pissy when I find out about pony stuff happening in Belgium, cause there seems to be a lot of it, and I *used* to live there... And I remember when I was dying to live in the UK, urg, we can just never have it our own way or be in two places at once. -.-

y2kyle89 said...

Hey, it's Gusty of the Wildly-blowing Wind.

Kd7sov said...

Gusty, Seth. Gusty. Not Gutsy. Her unicorn power was making wind blow. Gusts, you see?

Greenypony said...

OMG I missed a meetup in my own city !!! :< (antwerp meetup, belgium)

Quackers said...

It's Gusty dammit! You and your previous gen hating.

I think we broke the German Mcdonalds site. Well I already voted when it was on the Bronies Facebook page. There are also some weird names too, like the 4chan burger and the Pedoburger. I guess Germans go to /b/

CradeElcin said...

Lol, people are actually complaining and screaming "NOO I WOULD NEVER EAT A BURGER WITH SCOOTALOO IN IT D:"
Are YOU fucking kidding me? It is just a burger and a clever idea, nothing else. There is no pony in it,.

Also, 9gag kc or 4chan wont win, since they have too many votes. Last Time where Stevinho won (who did a popular german WoW Audio Drama) there was also bot voting, McD notices it and deletes them.

Silfir said...

... They couldn't even name the Scootaloo burger since Hasbro has the rights on the damn name...

Though in the name of awesomeness, I guess I can live with that.


ALSO WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THE STUTTGART MEETUP! NOOOOOOO

I know it's not worth mentioning in an actual EQD post (no irony here), but maybe s/o of you might want to check it out anyway:

Celestia for greatest most powerful pony.
Also, Scootaloo burger, that's hilarious. Those Germans...

Alextheant said...

Oh Crap those Tyranids, :O Might have to paint my Swarmlord like Celestia now lol

Anthony said...

Dunno, I think I'd happily eat a Scootaloo chicken burger — and love it!

Until I devoured the whole galaxy!

Arcticwlf said...

@Eversor Mundius

Agreed. If Hasbro has learned its lesson from the lapsed copyrights on the G1 Pony names fiasco when they were starting FiM, Hasbro would have trademarked the name "Scootaloo." Hasbro should give McD's a big ol' Cease and Desist.

Woodencoyote said...

Sorry Seth, but it's Gusty. And you spelled poor Briskby's name wrong as well - Miss Cheerilee's going to make you write a a hundred lines!

Cortland said...

Speaking from a WH40Ker standpoint, those 'nids aren't very good.

Tzeentch said...

Scotaloo burger... facehoof

Tzeentch said...

@Cortland
I wish they made a Carnifex Celestia :D

Abalidoth said...

Celestia has always been best pony. Glad you came around.

mattwhite924 said...

Cool, my tip made it into the roundup, and now you all have a picture of my carpet. lol

Dantes_Grill said...

"Swedish Message Board" Checks in, checks out. Yeah, don't have that much to say about it. Won't hang out there, that's for sure. And their forums was full of porn, probably trolls or something. =/

Senior Waffles said...

Go Scootaburger! I work at McDonalds (hopefully not for much longer, it's the absolute WORST place to work) but from now on, I shall refer to McChickens as Scootaburgers.

Brian J. Nonan said...

Just a bit put off at the prospect of eating a Scootaloo. "Damn that Scootaloo was delicious" or "Feel like eating Scootaloo", although this is in Germany so I really don't mind much;;

Someone in Toronto giving the 'ol meetup attempt again? This time a UofT student huh? Last "try" if it can be called that was way back around August I think, by one of us Ryerson Students; Not sure what happened to that but whatever;

Darkforce2K said...

What the buck? I am NOT eating Scootaloo...
Although it would be epic...

NakedKitten said...

The link to the Scootaloo burger isn't working for me...
WE MUST MAKE THAT BURGER SCOOTALOO!!

TheVampirate said...

The Scootaloo burger is getting killed the McMoot has 45000 more likes, even the Mc 9gag and oGs MC are beating us. its a matter of Brony pride (although 4chan is spamming fake facebook pages and that's hard to beat.)at least win best chicken sandwich

Zyrin Kain said...

Combining 'Nids with Ponies=120% win. Seriously. I would rock a pony coloured 'Nid army.

Liggliluff said...

If the link won't work... use this:
http://www.mcdonalds.de/mein_burger/index.cfm#/galerie
Sorterian: Beliebte Burger
Zutat: Chicken
Geschmack: Mild
Then you will find it on first place...
(Von: Männer, will filter it even more, down to 23)

Tonboko said...

Well, darn. I saw the bit about the toys being on clearance and rushed out to Target. Sadly my store has no such sale... and I REALLY wanted that Gala set.

Heredity said...

I just checked out PonyCon AU's page and saw this:

'So Equestria Daily finally gave us a decent plug. Not to be disrespectful and/or ungrateful but the first plug we got was quite mediocre and explained nothing.'

Talk about being up themselves.

The Spon said...

lol, PonyconAU's logo looks like it says 'NYCPoon'.

Dr_Vulpine said...

"This burger still don't know how to call a chicken."
I laughed. Still laughing. I am a terrible person XD
