• Nightly Roundup #701


    When pictures give Discord a more maniacal bent he ends up looking really cool or like a Batman villain or, um, something. Anyhow, he looks pretty dang cool all the same I've got to say when he is done in this sort of style.

    Much more in the way of news tonight everyone, check it out after the break! Also how are you liking the earlier Roundups? Let me know down below!

    Tonight's Successful Meetups



    Brisbane, Australia Meetup




    So on Saturday, around 18-20 Bronies from QLD gathered for lunch ^.^
    We had lunch at Sizzler, where we ate food and some people sang songs. We talked and laughed and generally had fun, causing Sizzler to be 20% Cooler just by our mere presence!
    After lunch, the majority of us caught a train to Central and wandered down Queen Street, generally being awesome.
    We stopped at Target to buy Ponies, Nerf Guns and Gak!
    Fun was had by all, and I'm glad to have made some new friends!!! ^.^



    Cincinatti Bronies EqG Meetup




    These are the bronies that did not get to see Equestria Girls with the rest of the bronies but we saw it and the theater managed to be sold out for it!



    SoCal Brony Meetup




    On 6/29, a multitude of SoCal pony fans gathered in Bellflower for Metropolis Comics' big Pony Party, which featured three artists and one writer of the official My Little Pony comics doing free signings and pony-drawing lessons. The comic shop itself gave out nearly 100 MLP comic books in raffles and such, concluding with a very entertaining competition of "So You Think You Can Prance?"




    Santa Rosa Toycon Meetup




    I would first like to thank whoever talked to the man in charge of the convention for giving the Bronies of Northern California our own little booth! It was a great place to eat, relax, and hang out since it was over 100 degrees! We talked, we laughed, we traded cards, we displayed our ponies on the table, we blasted some pony music, and one mom even told us that her daughter wanted to marry a brony when she grows up! Overall, it was a successful meetup and we hope next year's Toy Con will be even better!



    Edmonton 24 Hour MLP Marathon




    We decided to have the thon on Friday at 7-8pm and finished Saturday at 8:30. In this we played Munchkins, drank lots of Energy drinks and Pop, had lots of baked goods and just enjoyed the atmosphere. It was an 18+ event but no alcohol was consumed. As the hours passed, the rest of us got pretty antsy... but ponies rolled on. By hour 20 we were just finishing up the event. In the early hours, we saw the Northern lights and went for a quick walk to get some air. There was also a BBQ, but the marathon continued. I managed to stay up for 37 hours or so, but through the power of Netflix the show continued.

    It was essentially a group of 8-9 to begin with, a few more came to just hang out and then it was just us main 7 by the end.



    Tonight's Groups Looking For More

    Attorney Online: Equestria Tales


    My name is Astranacus, I am a moderator for Attorney Online which is a game created by Fanatsors who made 'Turnabout Storm : The Other Side' . This game is mostly a chat room sort of game which people role play cases, the modding community has developed to add ponies and there are over 100 characters.

    Anyway recently Tommy9151 with the help of others in the community created a trailer for the game with the link in the description.

    DOTA 2 Guild




    I bet you know Dota 2, the MOBA which has been in beta for 2 years now.

    Well, they introduced guilds in the last patch. I already created one for Bronies, called "Equestrian Heroes". I want to unite all Dota 2 playing Bronies there and that isn't possible with a little help.

    People can't simply join guilds in Dota 2, they have to be invited first. This means that they need to contact me over Steam or in the !MyLittlePony chat channel.

    My username is Sergeant Rainbow and I can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/TomTomGoLive.
    If I'm not reachable over Steam, I can be contacted over Twitter (https://twitter.com/TomTomGoLive).

    Alternatively, there is another guild leader (BL00D533K3R) and two officers (Draxter and Sukotto) which can also invite people and can be reached in the !MyLittlePony chat channel.
