What Are Your Views on Hoofboots?


Obviously Rarity needs to get on this, because hoofboots are awesome.

Spitfire Defenitly Isn't a Dude In The Swedish Version

Remember back in the day when the Polish version of Friendship is Magic popped up on Youtube, and we heard Spitfire for the first time? Well, it looks like whatever group is in charge of hiring voice actors outside the USA decided to make up for it. I'll let you guys check it out for yourselves though.

Check out the Swedish Spitfire after the break!

Will Anderson Looking For Bronies // Hey Ocean CD Release Party // SEASON THREE SPOILER



Cereal here, grouping somewhat related news items for fun and profit.

William Anderson, whom you may remember as the most badass person on the face of the entire planet, just landed in Rome and wants to know if there are any pony fans in the area he can hang out with. Be sure to flood him with requests! Make his trip special. Tell him Cereal sent you.

In other news that may or may not be related, I'm sure most of you are aware that Ashleigh Ball (the voice of Rainbow Dash and Applejack) heads her own band called 'Hey Ocean!'. For fans in Vancouver on June 16, the band is having a concert and CD release show at the Vogue Theater. It's $20 and you can find more details here.

And just in case that's not enough news for you, there's a spoiler for season three under the page break, tweeted by Tara Strong herself. You've been warned!

You can find the actual page for them here

Animation Analysis: Talk is Cheap


Once again, gbaudette over on Youtube has blown my mind with another animation analysis based around mouth movements to form specific word sounds.  My lack of experience in animation was quite surprised to see how much actually goes into this.  I also can't imagine how tedious it would be to modify every single section of a word to match the movement of the mouth.  Hats off to all those animators out there! I feel for you, I really do.

Anyway, check it out after the break!

Minecraft Cloudsdale

We haven't had a minecraft post in forever, so why not do one with a recreation of Cloudsdale? There are a bunch of these floating around on the various ponycraft servers.  I wish I had the crazy amounts of free time to play this.  When EQD dies, I'm going to build ALL OF EQUESTRIA!

Until then, people are apparently doing it for us.  Check out Cloudsdale after the break.

Balloon Party Teaser Wave #2

I don't have any videos for the nightly media post, so lets roll with a Balloon Party preview compilation instead!
