Nightly Roundup #255


Happy Derpy Day! It looks like Phoe has a bunch of neat stuff scheduled for the event later.   Hope you guys are ready to bask in the glorious wall-eyedness. 

We also have a new banner for the occasion from Tadashi.  Have a wallpaper version too.

Pony Chess Set Progress Tumblr


This guy is making a full pony chess set, and showing off his progress as he goes. So far he has Cele, Luna, and Discord completed. Check the blog out here!


New Zealand Radio Discusses Pony




They seem... Perplexed. At least from what I listened to.


Nissan Pony Commercial




This is pretty old, but just in case you haven't seen it floating around Youtube, it's pretty ridiculous.


Successful Meetups

--------------------------------------------------------------
Queensland Meetup


Copy Paste:

Once again it was time for another Brisbane meetup, and the Queensland Bronies continued to never disappoint. There was a huge crowd, at one point somewhere in the area of 60 of us, and we spent most of the day relaxing in the parklands. There was much partying, talking, sketching, singing, playing, and rabid squabbling over armfuls of spare pony toys (you have not lived until you've thrown 20 blind bag Rarity and Pinkie Pies across a field and watched the resulting tidal wave of desperate bronies). Despite grave fears of bad weather, our pal Rainbow Dash was nice enough to keep the storms at bay. Afterwards there was some fire twirling, Tekken battles and more pancakes than any one man should ever eat.
All-in-all everyone had a great day, and we can't wait for our next chance to have some fun together.

Cheers guys!

Instakitten said...

Yay for being awake for the roundup!

Sparky Luck said...

Fletch and Vaughn. Good stuff.

Graveheart said...

Derpy Day feels a little less Derpy after recent events.

Oh well. Happy Derpy Day, everypony. :)

bestpony? AJ ;) said...

Happy Derpy Hooves Day everypony! ^_^

Celestia said...

I had a strange mental image of Derpy going "So long and thanks for all the muffins!" looking at that banner.

Tonzog said...

Might I ask if there's a particular reason its Derpy Day? Other than her sheer awesomeness

Autumn said...

Happy Derpy Day Everypony.

D. Shadows said...

All hail the Muffin Queen.

Muffin but love from me.

NightStarX said...

Not exactly a very "happy" day, all things considered.

It's like celebrating a birthday at a funeral wake.

8ftmetalhead said...

I believe it was the day she was noticed by people on /co/.
I could dig through my archives to confirm, but I want to go to bed.

MikeTheWeatherPony said...

I missed the Brisbane meeup?

GOD DAMNIT!

There'll be another time...

8ftmetalhead said...

wait nope i'm retarded. that was 10/25/10.

Unknown said...

@NightStarX

Dramatic, much? You act like they've C&D'd the community from ever mentioning "Derpy" again. She's still the "community's", but that's where she should stay; "Fanon" should never equal "Canon", it damages the sanctity of the actual product.

edock said...

Derpy Day could not of come at a better time! Maybe we can forget recent events and have fun again!

Octavia said...

Happy Derpy Day, everypony. Unfortunately I'll probably be a bit too preoccupied to take part in any events scheduled for today. But I hope others have fun with them.

Brony Support Groups. Scratch and sniff them. Haha. And LARPers are "secret societies". Maybe three decades ago. lol Some of them didn't even know what cosplaying was. :P The people in the New Zealand Radio Show were kinda funny though. Utterly lost on this type of stuff, but funny because of that. Though they did use that term; "Pegasister". Ugh.

I remember that Nissan pony commercial. Pretty funny and funky stuff for sure.

Knuckleshy said...

So on top of me starting the 30 day drawing challenge today and doing some Monster hunting it is also Derpy day today! I just can't catch a break today. Wait why am I still awake I should be sleeping already!Its 2:10 am for me.

Agile Wings said...

Happy Derpy Day everypony!

Dashie said...

Good old The Edge.
Wish I had called in to tell them what's what.

Mattwo said...

@Nissan Pony Commercial

Is that french?

Ironclad said...

Happy Derpy day everypony!

Feral said...

@Mattwo

Portuguese, bur the ponies sometimes speak Spanish, just for some comic effect ("te quiero, mucho!").

Poison said...

I still stand by my guns that Derpy shall remain Derpy from now on. Honestly, as a clumsy blonde who has beem called a ditz before, I find the name Ditzy Doo MORE of an insult than Derpy Hooves. Realistically, only the minority uses it to mean "retarded", while being called a ditz is always meant in a rude way.

Well, that's my two cents. I wish everyone the happiest of Derpy days. Maybe I'll have a muffin to celebrate this joyous occasion.

new zealand bronie said...

a lot of people in nz would of heard that raido brodcast. The Edge FM is one of new zealands bigest raido stations

CJrox said...

Dammit, the one brony meet up I've seen in Montana and its in Bozeman (which is the other side of the state from me).

Applebloomismywaifu said...

it's derpy day? Woho, happy derpy day!! must vector derpy now! xD

Sarah said...

The banner is just pure joy ^^.

Pink Champagne said...

Dear Miss Hooves,

I promise to always remember that glorious moment when you first spoke into our lives on January 21, 2012. Remember that you are still our beloved mailmare. Thank you for all the happiness and joy you have brought into the lives of so many ponies.

Happy Derpy Day!

The Edge is also one of NZ's more terrible radio stations.

Gummy said...

Happy derpy day everypony free muffins and cola for all!

BakedBad said...

@Gummy
Have an excellent Derpy day everypony, and toss me Gummy Cola Classic to wash down the muffins.

Masquerade313 said...

Derpy Day? As in the day she was first discovered? Wow, does time fly fast. I'm sure Phoe won't disappoint.

Rex2099 said...

Happy Derpy Day? lol

Aquatic Environment said...

In celebrating Derpy day I celebrate the power of remix culture to transcend the limits of conventional and exclusionary media. She is indestructible if we want her to be. Never mind the haters, never mind the inevitable negativity that crops up in every fandom (we are no exception, get over it). We are the hand that feeds, not the other way around, and we do what we want with the product.

Marshal said...

The Vent info is still wrong, all you need to do is add a .com to the end to fix it. (dallas.ugt-servers.com)

Quackers said...

@MikeTheWeatherPony Yeah they have meetups every month.

Sunstone said...

Whoo Derpy Day! Hopefully I'll see someone else celebrating.

And where are all of the California meet ups?

Confluttershy said...

Happy Derpy Day everypony!

Wait, TALKING Pinkie plush? Now that's a new level of awesome.

Dic said...

HOLD ONTO YOUR HORSES AS WE BREAK THE EIGHT-BIT BARRIER!!!

(... for those who don't get it, this is roundup #255. As of tomorrow, we officially upgrade to a 16 bit roundup!!)

Flutterfan said...

Happy Derpy Hooves Day! May the muffin be ever in your favor.

Fipse said...

Yay, our GSPBs guy banner is used! Best derpy day ever :ugly:

Capn Brony said...

The united "The Last Roundup" episode is back on iTunes, and Derpy is completely intact with voice, name and eyes! Not joking!

BEST DERPY DAY EVER!!

MASF123 said...

@Capn Brony Really, they changed it back? Awesome! BEST DERPY DAY EVER!!! :D

Ulrik said...

Happy Derpy Day!

Here's loads of muffins

#SaveDerpy said...

@Capn Brony I just downloaded it, and its still edited. The SD Version at least. Downloading the HD now.

Can you give specifics on where you are, where the unedited version is, etc? Because as of right now, I'm not seeing it.

#SaveDerpy said...

@Capn Brony Nope, HD Version is still edited here as well.

Piper said...

Derpy Day is a happy day of friendship and muffins. I will light no flames this day.

ryan7251 said...

Hi everypony i'm going to gave out muffins for free to day at my house:)

Yea! Derpy day! Whoo! Hoo! PARTY HARD!

LinkNinjaMaster said...

Happy Derpy Hooves day everypony!


...Mexico, Y U NO HAVE MEETUPS?!

GuerreroPerdido said...

Wait, I don't get it, why is today Derpy Day? What's going oooon.

Nostalgia Schmaltz said...

@GuerreroPerdido

Same reason for any other made-up holiday:

Just because.

Crosswing said...

Derpy day Derpy day! Grab a muffin and join the party everypony

Oh and handing out free muffins at school is a good way to make all sorts of interesting friends

Painless Wolf said...

Happy Birthday Derpy! Dream of Paradise, my little Pony!

Derpestia said...

Every cult needs a bs holiday man.

Capn Brony said...

@#SaveDerpy Well, I didn't see the unedited episode myself, but tons of people on SaveDerpy.com are reporting that the unedited episode is back on iTunes.

Capn Brony said...

I mean, alot of people WERE reporting the unedited episode is back on iTunes, but since Savederpy.com only shows 6 comments, they're gone now. Perhaps you can somehow see the history of comments?

#SaveDerpy said...

@Capn BronyAhh, that appears to be some random guy on twitter stating that his version is unedited. Probably because he downloaded it before the edit.

ClosetBrony said...

Happy Derpy Day Everypony!! Hope ya'll have a wonderful day!

#SaveDerpy said...

@Capn BronyThose are not comments, they are a live feed of the #savederpy hash tag from Twitter.

comickid said...

Happy Derpy Day! Let's hope they don't censor us and make us change it.

Kaijyuu said...

One more roundup until we hit a nice round milestone number!

Nämahs said...

For those wondering why today is Derpy Day...

Last year when the fandom was small this holiday was made as a way for the scattered bronies to celebrate something together. Everyone was to have a muffin and celebrate ponies on March 1st.

It's tradition.

Shadow Heart said...

@_@ derp?

Happy Derpy Day fellow bronies

BeezelPony said...

I listened to that NZ show all the way simply because I adore their accent.

They laugh a lot at bronies, but the way they laugh is just so cuddly xD

Frith said...

That New Zealand radio segment was hilarious!

John said...

Yay, Derpy day! Muffins for everyone!

The Invincible said...

Two words come to mind when observing the new banner: Derpy FOREVERRRRRRR!

Luxin_Nocte said...

@Capn Brony
If this is true, it's a Derpy Day miracle :D

kris said...

@Unknown "..."Fanon" should never equal "Canon", it damages the sanctity of the actual product..."

Hear, Hear!

Now I'm off to write an MLP/Smurfs/Mr Edd crossover fanfic!
happy Derpy day everybody!

vulpixel said...

Time to wear gray!

Smashmatt202 said...

Wait, so today, as in March 1, id Derpy Hooves Day? I'm going to mark my caldender for next year, in that case.

Beta-Carotene said...

Better not be using a byte to count that roundup number. Do you want this site to look like the 256th level of pac-man? I didn't think so.

*Meanwhile, at Starbucks HQ*

"Sir, we've been observing the bakery sales today. You're not gonna believe this!"

"What? What!?"

"In the last 5 hours, muffin sales have jumped by 8000%"

"Sweet Mother of God...."

Solzan Nemesis said...

Happy Derpy Day everpony ;)

Ahiam94 said...

Yay Derpy day! Gotta go get myself a muffin!

Nightweaver20xx said...

I can honestly forgive New Zealand for thinking that bronies are not otherwise normal people. I've heard so much false information about how weird we are and how we're all socially retarded basement dwellers that it doesn't even bother me anymore.

But, for the record, I'd just like to say that I'm not one of those. I'm a brony with a full-time job and a loving family who actually sees the sun more often than not.

Rafasde said...

Derpy Day? Derpy Day!

Here, everypony, have some muffins!

Shadow Heart said...

@Beta Carotene

Have you ever tried the cotton candy muffins they sell at Walmart?

They remiinnd me of Pinkie Pie and Derpy at once.

Derpy Day rules. . .

Socially Inept Luna said...

A perfect time to celebrate all the is good and derp in the world. I shall definitely be nomming a muffin later to celebrate.

LS Ramos said...

You jerk! How dare you something something derpy. Also celebrating with muffins and milk is insulting to those with gluten allergies and lacto... Okay i can't even finish happy derpy day! Skies are derpy gray in san Francisco, so I'll take it as a good thing today.

FelineGamer said...

Im happy for Derpy's day but..
GOD DAMN IT.... GOD DAMN IT...
GOD DAMN IT GOD DAMN IT GOD DAMN IT
Why this "poneis malditos" thingy just popped here? We brazilian bronys hate this AD, it's so annoying, and other people just keep singing and singing that stupid song everyday... oh well

G.Buddell said...

WE LOVE YOU DERPY! Shine on, you goofy diamond!

Cardamom said...

Happy Derpy Day to all. :)

And to make it an even better Derpy Day for me - I'm getting my DVD in the mail today! Soon I shall be able to watch her on something that isn't YouTube, in all of her muffin-loving glory. ♥

Yellow 13 said...

Happy Derpy day everyone! To bad it has to be on my longest day of classes.

Well, I shall celebrate with a muffin and watching The Last Roundup on DVD.

Shadow Heart said...

@Dr Discord

Since when are you a doctor?

Sunstone said...

@LS Ramos

Gah! Another brony out in SF?! It's a shame I probably won't get to meet you on this fine holiday!

Shadow Heart said...

@Discord

Ponygroove is best groove

Blayze Kohime said...

If that guy upgraded his engine to G4 ponies, it would break the sound barrier and fly over the mud on a @#@$#@ing rainbow.

pmcollectorboy said...

I want back whatever brain cells that Nissan commercial killed.

kingswood said...

Haha I listen to that radio station on the way to work. Terrible music but the funny DJs more than make up for it.

BeastialPony said...

Video 1: They did seem a bit confused, but they didn't seem judgemental or anything. Just new to the whole thing.
Video 2: OMG that is hilarious! I understood nothing of what they said... But still funny!

el_draconoquis said...

@Mattwo

SINCE WHEN BRAZILIAN-PORTUGUESE IS FRENCH?


......filho...estou desapontado

el_draconoquis said...

FOR EVERYPONY i will explain the nissan comercial

This is marketing of Nissan, about "True HORSES" in your car, and don't colored ponies.

this is a viral video, it make to you share with your friends or you'll suffer the "Ponie's curse".

'Choose true horses, choose NISSAN'


well..if you think.....its not MLP related at all

Arthur "Raiders" Luna said...

@el_draconoquis

Your right! but I did not like the first commercial.

desapontamento infinito!!!!!

Yuri said...

@Octavia

New Zealand is a strange country! Kiwis are tasty though.
