Music of the Day #11


Ack! Accursed hooves, what are you good for? Music and milkshake alike slip through your clumsy grasp! A finger! A finger! My kingdom for a finger! Or at least one of those little grippy thingies they put at the end of rods. Those are the best.

Maybe you missed this item yesterday. I assure you, there were very good reasons involving a huge overdose of rigorous training and something about a time machine, and nothing at all to do with slacking off and playing video games. Or perhaps the music review process can simply be a bit slow at times. Blah, the truth is so boring. Give me the Ly...ra.

Music of the Day, your number one source for sleep deprived puns. Accept no substitutes!

DarkEra Studios Presents: Rise of the Clockwork Stallions Trailer

Picture Unrelated, but Classic

DarkEra Studios is a small but talented group of bronies who design and create pony video games. Pony platformers, to be specific, which is a thing I think we can agree there need to be more of.

These guys agree with me. They are working hard to bring us exactly that in the form of a new game called Rise of the Clockwork Stallions. The game features cute, clean sprite graphics, "more than 30 playable characters, 8 locations, 48 levels, 16 bosses, and tons of secrets", strung along with clean and fast paced mechanics into what I can only describe as a pony flavored Megaman/Super Mario World/Touhou smoothie. If any of these things are your bag, you'll probably find a lot to love about Rise of the Clockwork Stallions.

Production has been announced as being 1/3 complete, with a playable demo nearing completion. We're jumping the gun just a little bit to bring you the trailer they've just released. You can follow their progress on their website, or simply check below the break to see the video.

Good ol' Days Laser Show


Lasers are fun right?  Of course they are.  And they are even more fun when they are animated to make images.

Pre-Reader Q&Neigh Numero Cuattro


Whelp, it's about that time again. Way back when, in the  murky days of earlier 2012 (with the speed of internet 'culture' being what it is, that's like three million years in normal time) we had our third pre-reader Q&Neigh.

Now - contain yourselves if you can - it is time for the fourth.

Adweek Gives In - Joins the Herd

It looks like we may have overwhelmed the poor Hot list polls with pony, so much so that they have split it off into it's own BEST PONY poll and guaranteed a mention!   Success? Hell yeah!

The article they wrote is hilarious, check it out here

Season 3 Episode 5 : Possible Title - Weird Air Date



We don't have a synopsis yet for this one, but the 5th episode of Friendship is Magic season 3 has been uploaded to Zap2it.  Oddly enough, they skipped the 4th, though Zap2it has been known to do that in the past.

There are a ton of things wrong with this entry though, primarily the December 3rd release date.  That would put it at a Monday, and FiM is usually on Saturday.

It could be another Strawberry Elves derp on their part.  They still haven't fixed that one!

Right now I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Anyway, title is after the break!
