Friendship is Magic loses to Penguins of Madagascar On Daytime Emmy Awards for Best Original Song

I completely forgot to check out the Emmy awards today.  Luckily we have Meghan McCarthy doing it for us! Sadly it sounds like Penguins of Madagascar beat Friendship is Magic for Best Original Song.


(Update: This was specifically for best original song!)

Trixie's Tomato Toss

Who would be so BOLD as to throw tomatoes at the The Greatest and most Powerful pony in all of Equestria?!  Apparently all of Ponyville! 

See, Trixie is too good for tomato dodging.  She just assumes they will drop at her feet out of sheer awe.  Fortunately, we have the Royal Trixie Republic (RTR) to defend her!  Take your mind control gun and force Trixie to dodge tomatoes.  At least like this, she will think some divine being has favored her. 
  
Now go save Trixie!

Fighting is Magic Bite Sized Update - Revamped Look and Twilight Sparkle

The crew over at Fighting is Magic has busted out their 4th Bite-Sized Update (or full cheeseburger in this case).   Included this time around is a complete revamp of the menus and game interface, along with a sneak peak at the PDF  manual they want to include with the release.  The new look definitely reminds me of some of those high budget brawlers out there.  I wouldn't be surprised if gaming magazines and sites out there upgraded their Fighting is Magic blurbs to full fledged articles. 

Anyway, I'll stop blabbering! Head on over to the Mane6 website to check out everything. 

And for those of you that love watching those speedpaint style youtube videos, check out the process behind creating their new Twilight Sparkle splash screen (found in the banner) after the break!

Seeds of Kindness Passes Two Major Milestones

Wonderful news from our friends at Bronies For Good: they've just announced that their Seeds of Kindness project has now fully funded both the Green Village in Burundi and an orphanage in Tanzania! For those of you closely watching your charity bingo cards, that makes a medical clinic, a shelter/vocational educational facility, and an orphanage all built with brony funds in a single massive swoop. If that idea seems incredible to you, its because it is.

Seeds of Kindness is still ongoing, with further donations going to fund a second orphanage in Uganda. If you've got an extra five bucks lying around still, it's a very good use for it. But right now is a time for celebration and congratulations! Amazing things are being done, and they deserve recognition. In fact, the founder and chair of Your Siblings, the group that Bronies For Good is partnered with, was so touched that she made a video to personally thank all of you - the bronies who made this possible. Check below the break to see it, plus an official writeup from Bronies For Good:

Ponibooru Shuts Down

As many of you may have noticed this morning, the image repository Ponibooru has shut down all uploading capability. According to the site owner, this was "not due to any sort of external pressure, nor is it due to financial problems. The reasons are personal: I (Eco/Archive/&c) have simply reached the point where I can see no way to run the site that I can live with, nor do I have any person whom I trust to run the site in a way I can endorse."

Select highly-rated images have been offloaded to a sister site Derpibooru, which will continue Ponibooru's functionality. On Ponibooru you can also find torrents for every image uploaded to the site since its launch, as well as only highly-rated ones.

Ponibooru will go dark in two months, on August 17th, 2012.


EDIT: Derpibooru was apparently not ready for the influx of traffic. Be patient, the admins are sorting everything out and putting out the fires. You guys are ravenous.
