Nightly Roundup #220


So... It sounds like there is a lack of respect for the best pony ever lately on the EQD staff.  Clearly this needs to be fixed.  Rainbow Dash has always had Fridays and the 3rd Thursday of every 5th month for best pony day.  I guess we just never got that out there!


Pony Shift Mod





For the Phase Shift fans out there, a new mod has popped up that replaces a bunch of the fretboards with pony stuff. Check out the video above and the description for more information!


Vanacast: Ticket Master

Another episode! Charge!


Cheerilee with UMBRELLAS




Charity Raffle


Hello fellow bronies, I'm a member of a non-profit organization called Loving Lives for All Mistreated Animals (LLAMA). We're trying to build a no-kill animal shelter in Missouri. We have the location picked out, the buildings designed, and the staff on standby. Problem is, we don't have enough money to purchase the plot of land, yet.

So here's the deal. I'm creating a raffle in order to earn money for this. I'm going to sell virtual tickets for this raffle and will have a drawing when we make enough money.

A $2 ticket will enter you for a chance to win a hand-made poster.  This is the image that I am basing the poster on.  (It's attached)


A $5 ticket will enter you for a chance to win a hand-made plush of your favorite pony. Image not possible since you get to decide who it is. I promise you that the creator of said plush is quite skilled and the product will be top quality.  When she's done making my plushie, I'll send a picture of it in.

If you make a $10 contribution, however, you will be given two tickets for BOTH drawings.

If you're interested in entering the raffle, or just want to make a donation to a good cause, please email: llamashelters@gmail.com


United Equestria 100 Member Celebration

Graffiti Twilight Sparkle


Clearly this should be completely legal. Walls are greatly improved with the best pony's visage.

That cosplay wig rivals that of Scootaloo's....

XyroTR1 said...

Oh wow.... that cosplay. <3

Fadhil Anshar said...

FINALLY!!! You realized that Rainbow Dash is best pony, Seth.

THAT'S BECAUSE DASHIE IS. *brohooves Dash*

Kyronea said...

That cosplay is rather impressive.

Bufflord said...

Cheerilee with umbrellas what?

Fadhil Anshar said...

Also DAT COSPLAY SO... okay... o_o

Blaze52 said...

Now I want to play Phase Shift... And Cheerilee - umbrellas? ...am i missing something?

That graffiti Twi is amazing! Spreading love and tolerance everywhere... :)

Bronynet is best pony social network. Just saying :)

Now we just need to have a Brigham Young University Meetup and I will be forever happy...

Bombedrumbum said...

@Fadhil Anshat



I do believe that the title of "best pony" belongs to AppleJack :p

D. Shadows said...

Something I just want to throw out there about the most recent banner about the one year anniversary.

Rainbow Dash always dresses in style. (Because she's not wearing a party hat.)

CityFlyer502 said...

Yeah, I too noticed all the hate towards poor Rainbow. Only fair to give her the headlining photo. Plenty going on tonight. Raffles, announcements, new products for those of us that still have cash in our bank accounts. And who can ignore graffiti Twilight. Funny story: every time I'm driving around, I'm always searching for any kind of pony related graffiti. Now this is more incentive for me to keep my eyes open.

Eridan Ampora said...

Wwell that cosplay sure is... awesome!

forgotten sin said...

Rainbow Dash = Best Pony Ever? DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!

DashAttack said...

Rainbow Dash is clearly the pony everyone loves to secretly kind of hate.

Not that I mind or anything since she's awesome no matter what anyone thinks. ;D

F40 Eagle said...

I love how hard Seth was working to post the roundup and participate durring the stream

Vipera said...

Finally Rainbow Dash gets the top of a roundup.

The Invincible said...

I'm confused with the wording of that sentence. Is it all Fridays, or just the Fridays of the 5th month?

ftfc said...

@Belgarath
*Drinks*


Umbrellas, what?

still have no social networking site accounts at all.
don't care much for cosplay.

Blaze52 said...

@Bombedrumbum You seem to have misspelled Fluttershy.

Nothing against Dash or Applejack though. I love all the Mane 6 :)

Delta said...

Well, OBVIOUSLY, Cheerilee has an evil twin sister that we were never told of, and were never supposed to know about. As the real Cheerilee spreads happiness and smiles, her twin--Downcast--is a servant of Discord who spreads sadness and depression throughout Equestria!

*Darts eyes back and forth* And that makes sense, right?

The Numberman said...

Cheerilee with UMBRELLAS

Wat.

Mike said...

A modest proposal for belated blog anniversary celebrations:

1-go back to the first couple days of the blog
2-find all posts that have <5 comments
3-make >10
4-???
5-Profit!!

chaikeon said...

Bronynet is indeed awesome, I suggest y'all check it out...


Also, dat cosplay O.o

Ned said...

...Where's Cheerilee's umbrellas? Best pony ever needs her umbrellas.

Solid Pony said...

funny, I google'd MLP graffiti a while ago and didn't find much. That one right there is pretty sweet though.

Also, dat cosplay.

derpy dash typhlosion said...

then its a good thing its always friday and 3rd thursday of the 5th month every day!

mrsteroids said...

@Bombedrumbum

That's a weird way to spell Twilight

Octavia said...

Best pony on the EqD Staff? Must mean the awesome Mistress Phoe. :)

Cheerliee doesn't have an umbrella in that image... I've been lied to! And my hopes and dreams of Cheerliee with an umbrella are now dashed. Just like that. :(

A charity raffle to help setup a no-kill shelter, huh? Having had a mother who worked for a Humane Society a long while, I have some qualms with no-kill shelters. But I won't get into that here. I hope they get a lot of contributions to help get it started.

Very nice Twilight graffiti. I like the one next to it too. Looks kinda like an unfinished Twilight with a funky funny expression. :P

It seems like a lot of people like that Rainbow Dash cosplay. It is indeed a nice one. Though I kinda feel bad for her. A lot of creepy guys are now ogling her a ton. I almost want to say they're thinking of more than just her outfit. lol

slizardmaster said...

Its her cutiemark that's umbrellas. Kinda odd

D. Shadows said...

@Octavia

Well her cutie mark isn't exactly three smiley faces... Also I'm going with evil twin number twenty three.

richfiles said...

Oh My Little Dashie!

BronyZRo said...

Dat cosplayer got some major plot goon on up in there.

Nuclear Brony said...

So, I signed up for Bronynet and it demanded that I use a "standards compliant" browser rather than Internet Explorer. You know, as odd as it sounds, some of us would rather use IE, and I don't really care about the browser wars. I am very disappoint. I refuse to download another browser just to use a social networking site, even for ponies. It's quite heartbreaking.

richfiles said...

@richfiles

Oh dear... Dat Cosplay! I... Resisting urge to delve deeper into My Little Dashie jokes...

Do not think about what Rainbow Dash was found in...

Don't think about it!

ARRGGHH

No use...

I'd like to find Rainbow Dash's *yay*

sevooHypreD said...

@Nuclear Brony
Are you using an old version of Internet Explorer? Most sites that say something like that are normally more bothered about that rather than just Internet Explorer in general.

Nuclear Brony said...

I might be. I don't keep up with new things like this when come out. Probably doesn't help that I still have Vista on a 3YO laptop. I'm gonna check on that real quick. Thanks for the reminder.

coldshoulder said...

@Belgarath

*Drinks*

love the Graffiti Twilight i think every city needs more love and tolerance. but i think this post needs more John Joseco!

Nuclear Brony said...

New IE update, still the same message. I can get on from my Droid though.

Bombedrumbum said...

I do believe that I spelled AppleJack correctly. She seems like the most real, down to earth pony.

sevooHypreD said...

@Nuclear Brony
Really? That's rather dumb then. IE9 is considered standards compliant everywhere else. I don't know why it's not for Bronynet, sorry.

Stormfalcon said...

Nice cosplay! It'd be nice if MLP cosplay got a regular feature on here.

Of course, I'm a bit biased since I'm planning on a Big Mac cosplay for next month's AoD in San Francisco :D

Mike Styles said...

Can I request that U of V poster be made into a wallpaper, because It would totally decorate my screen if it was made.

Evil_Spike said...

I want that Spike pin. It will suit me well for meetups.

Onipolice said...

But RD's the least developed of the mane 6! ...And kind of a jerk (though not as bad as some others, of course).

Ten said...

Pretty awesome cosplay wig, and lmao at the Twilight graffiti. That's just too good.

Cátsy said...

I guess Cheerilee was feeling a bit *puts on Sunglasses* under the weather!

YYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~

Jordan said...

For those of you not seeing umbrellas on Cheerilee, look on her butt.

Tekaramity said...

Waaait a minute, Seth.

Since when have *all* of us neglected to respect Rainbow?

...

Yeah. That's what I thought. B-)

Leisure said...

must have keychains!

Girom said...

Cheerilee's cutie mark is umbrellas.
That is all

Cody The Maverick said...

The Cheerilee with Umbrellas is an animation goof. I noticed it on first viewing, but never said anything...

Toksyuryel said...

No interest in bronynet due to it not using the status.net software. We don't need yet another walled-garden social network.

EKG_MEDiK said...

hahaha dood that tag is pretty sweet! needs some can control practice... but still pretty friggen sweet!

henke37 said...

Took you long enough to notice the umbrellas. I posted about that days ago.

Omigosh, the raffle, I'm totally in! I used to have a Fluttershy plushie but i gave it to a fellow brony as a christmas present.

Also, who says I can't still love RD? To me, it's Applejack who seems to the most underdeveloped.

Michael Butcher said...

Why is it any time I think "This is the pinnacle of pony awesome," it gets topped?

leopardx said...

@Nuclear Brony
Just patched the site. Try it now. :)
It'll prompt you to install the Chrome Frame plugin for your Internet Explorer browser. It makes sites that aren't compatible with IE work in IE.

Evdog said...

BEST! GRAFFITI! EVER!

Evdog said...

For Phase Shift, was anyone else ethinking about a FiM/Power Rangers crossover? Or of Daniel Ingram rocking out with DragonForce (can someone PLEASE draw this :D)?

CaptainDash said...

I still can't see how people manage to hate on the best pony.

Derpy Hands said...

Best pony? What does the Great and Powerful Trixie have to do with an image of Rainbow Dash? Looks like you posted the wrong image there. That's okay, it happens. Not all of us can be perfect like Trixie.

Kitsunekun VII said...

Love the graffiti, cool stuff all around, but one question: Why do all RD cosplays I have ever seen, including the one my girlfriend is planning on, have such incredibly short shorts?!? Not that it's not nice to look at, but am I missing somthing? Is there something about Dashie that just says "I would wear short shorts?"

Rafasde said...

That cosplay, that graffiti and that top of the roundup... just ~yay.

Busoni said...

I like the part where the only reason it's considered impressive is because she is considered hot. I've seen better cosplays on girls with curves... :P

Nuclear Brony said...

@ leopardx It works now! Thnx :)

Big Love said...

Meet ups in VA! Y U NEVER NEAR ME?!?!?! (From Roanoke, btw just in case there are other bronies in the area. I've only met one here. ._. )

Sjosten said...

Clearly Seth is just coping with the fact that he sent Trixie to China. Soon he'll realize that the real best pony has been hiding right under his nose. I'm of course talking about Cereal's repeated attempts to show Seth the glory of Rarity.

Anonymous said...

So can we see that attachment or are we just gonne pay two bucks for a chance to win a mystery prize?

Mysecsha said...

@Kitsunekun VII

*shrug* exercise shorts tend to be short. Clothing that's fit for wearing to the gym is Dash-appropriate, then within that subcategory whatever's the most eye-catching is preferable.

I guess.

Joystik said...

Confound it! i used to live in the lehigh valley. Unfair. Pittsburgh bronies assemble!!

iloveMLP said...

I am definitely gonna be at the synchtube and where can i find that phase shift mod?
BRONIES

Albert C. Shadowfax said...

Brony net is best social network!!!!

OnTheMoonah said...

As toby would say HOT HOT HOT HOT

leopardx said...

@Nuclear Brony
Just glad that I can help. :)

b0b4_f3tt_043 said...

Glad to see Dash getting a little more resp... DAT COSPLAY *jaw drops*

leopardx said...

@Albert C. Shadowfax
Thanks Albert! :)
Now if we could've only convinced 18 more people, we could've hit 1000. :/

The Real Cie said...

I'm one of the admins for the Facebook page Animal Anarchy. We aren't huge, but we do have 171 followers and I've shared the information about the charity raffle with them. If you are on Facebook feel free to like the page and share updates with us.

leopardx said...

@sevooHypreD
It's all fixed now. IE9 runs it now. Doesn't look nearly as good as in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Opera, but it runs it now.
