Nope
@Phoenix Bronies
Damnit, so close...
We seem to be slowing down on these... like just less stuff to put in it... But hey, that just might be me...
So much merch...
I fully expect the London meetup to be on tomorrow's roundup. Someone's got to do a writeup - we had 70+ people there!
Kind of a short one tonight. There's just no stopping the spread of ponies, is there. The only thing really jumping out at me is Ms. Faith accepting commissions. Considering the fantastic work she did on Epic Cupcake & Pie time, I'm sue whatever she turns out is gonna be top notch.
So tired. But I don't wanna go to sl...zzzzzzzzz
zzzz...*I'm sure whatever...*...zzz...
FFXIII-2 is actually worth buying. You should buy it
The link to Bree is broken. Might need to be captalized. her is the link. http://www.youtube.com/user/BreeFaithVA
Your enjoyment of XIII-2 is probably going to be based on how much you enjoyed XIII, Seth. From a pure gameplay standpoint, it's much better - the revised encounter system let's you begin battles with Haste and a preemptive strike, which predictably puts grinding on fast forward, the map design is a lot more broad and there's a good degree more room to breathe with the Crystarium. That said, if you weren't fond of the characters or the setting of XIII, it's probably not worth it. I'd at least give it a rent, in any case.
So...in Pony merch news, I found out today that they have the blind bags at my local Toys R Us. And here I thought those were just an urban legend.
Also forgot the Wallpaper comp link. Lol sorry! I know its hard to post these! Good job guys!
Is the wallpaper compilation update notice ok? I think something's missing there, or it may just be me Idk :P
Youtube link doesn't work.
Wallpaper link plz?
Oh, while I'm here, I might as well mention the fact that those FiM cookies in Australia can also be found in IGA stores.
(The stickers are awesome.)
This marks the fourth (yes, fourth) MLP:FIM reference on "Wait... Wait..."
Peter Sagal and Carl Kasell are practically honorary bronies by this point.
@Haze
It's fine. I think Sethisto (or whomever I was speaking to) is saving it for tomorrow.
I forgot about FF, was hyped for Syndicate.
I was hoping for a follow-up to this:
http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/giant-trixie.html
Quote: "I'll toss the rest of the information in the roundup tonight."
Just Saiyen.
Fluttershy would not sue. Fluttershy would instead say...
"Um... I think, you're probably talking about Twilight, she's the smart one here... and, well.. maybe you could mention that? I mean, so people don't think I was smarter than I am? Because I don't want people to think I'm somepony I'm not...
"If that's all right with you, that is?"
And then the New York Times would make the correction a first page Banner Type: "WE BUCKED UP."
FFXIII-2 is actually good! Very worth buying.
My Litigious Pony, lmao. I wanna see that make a short run as a show. xD
Guessing there should probably be a link to the updated Wallpaper Compilation Document. Might want to fix that when you get the chance, Seth. ;)
Bree is allowing people to commission her for Pinkie vocal pieces? Well, that certainly... interesting. lol First time I think I've seen that in the community. But hey, if it helps pay for college stuffs. If you're good at it, might as well try and turn a little profit from it too.
Wow, no merch tonight, huh? Well, dang.
@X X X
It's just Chuck Testa.
Definitely pick up XIII-2 if you played the first one. Currently on the final boss.
How much is Bree charging for her voice? I didn't see anything on her channel about commissions.
The girl in the photo has the same Fluttershy bag as me. (: That's the first time I've seen someone else with it, it's good to know it's liked, it's an awesome bag! Sometimes I can regret not getting a Dashie one though...

@Ned
I'll bet you thought that post was a first.
Ponies on NPR... now if only it was a little more than being a crazy trivia question set up to surprise people/make fun of newspapers.
@RomanRamen
Is XIII-2 really that short, or did you play fairly hard over the week?
Been considering it myself but have reservations due to how X-2 came out, and how overly linear XIII felt for most of the game. And it being very short would make me more inclined to pick it up.
I'm up for a Roundup!!!! <3
Voice acting commissions? That's a new one, but it does make all sorts of sense.
Buy regular ff13 instead. Longer and cheaper. Then you can go on from there.
@Iasius I was wondering when someone was gonna bring them up. Theyve been at my work for months now and I stll havnt done anything about it. Need to get onto that.
...what the heck is AJ doing in that picture? It looks like she's using a water squirter to spray maple syrup on flying pancakes while riding Scootaloo.
My Litigious Pony, I can see it now.
Applejack: Now I may be a simple country lawyer, but as the element of honesty, I know when a pony is in violation of article 2, subsection 4 of a Pinkie Pie Promise.
My Litigious Pony, My Litigious Pony,

@ AchingScapoid
Congrats on winning the internet :P
My Litigious Pony!
Yep. There's gonna be fanfic's of that.
Oh wait there already is. All of the MLP/Ace Attorney crossovers (not litigious, but attorney nontheless).
Is that Applejack riding a Chocobo through Pancake Land with a Maple Syrup gun I see?
Beautiful.
@Hawklaser It is about half the length of XIII so around 25 hours of in game time for me. If you are concerned about linearity, there is much exploring to do with objectives taking you to different areas instead of the usual go forward.
@Altercation
Agreed. I loved the story of 13 but the gameplay left a lot to be desired. However, a lot of people (for some reason that escapes me) also hated the story. Weird.
But yeah, you should totally get it.
I want a my litigious pony!
Screw you guys. I've got the damn chocobo theme song stuck in my head.
Dang, The Brohoof is becoming HUGE! I'm going to need to start appearing on there again.
So I'm guessing we're not mentioning shed.mov here.
...wimps.
I love Wait Wait. It's the other show I get up for before noon on Saturday. I was considering sending in the NPR clip when I first heard it, but apparently someone beat me to it. Nevertheless, I shall await the fanfic eagerly.
@AchingScaphoid
You have won all the internets. Congratulations.
Fluttershy sue well I would never in a thousand years think she would
Miss Faith is a very impressive Pinkie Pie. I'm glad she'll be voicing her in My Little Investigation. Also, I happened to spot a Fighting is Magic audition on her account, so here's to hoping it'll be accepted.
Wow, something I uploaded got featured.
*squee*
Toronto Brony meetup? Finally?
All right. They're legit now.
I don't have to go screaming from the rooftops any more now that the hub of the Greater Toronto Area finally got in a nightly roundup, even if they broke protocol.
Now I have a merger to arrange. Excuse me.
You know, it's actually a bit funny, NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me was how I originally heard about ponies. When they did that negatively slanted section about unexpected fanbases I thought it was hysterical that any guys could actually admit to something so stupid sounding, so I checked online. I then read the entire KYM page, and the rest is history...
Funny how somewhat negative media attention can lead to positive reactions.
Ponies aside, I too would recommend XIII-2 to those who either enjoyed XIII or just felt it was a little lacking. There are a lot of nice new features, notably in the Crystarium and party management, and the combat is pretty much the same, but with a few much-needed fine-tunings. I'm having a little trouble following the story, as a lot of it seems to be explained through convenient time paradoxes, but it's still enjoyable; there are plenty of good moments, both humorous and intense, to keep it entertaining.
I was soooo hopong that meant gainesville georgia
If you're lookin' for mech, I submitted these too late for the roundup XD

No merch?
Seth, I'm 22 hours into FF XIII-2, and so far, XIII was better in almost every way. It has a few gimmicky things like a casino, the option to progress to areas out of order (and get wrecked by the enemies there), capture monsters to use as party members, etc so if you're a shallow gamer and that sounds like an improvement, have at it.
It's still a great game, it's just a little dumbed down from XIII is all.
