My Little Pony Coronation Concert Sweetpstakes

Having trouble there Twilight?

Geekscape posted up a video detailing an upcoming sweepstakes event happening during the episode on the 26th.  One person will win a trip for four to a special invitation only concert in Los Angeles some time in February to celebrate a "special episode".  What episode that is, they don't list!

Anyway, head on down past the break for the commercial!

Thanks to all you crazy ace reporters for the link!

Comic: Wait, What? / Super Pegasi Delivery Service / Obsessions

Fighting is Magic Losing Big Time in EVO Charity Event!

It looks like we have some serious competition over at the EVO 2013 donation drive.   A few days ago pony was dominating, but today both Skullgirls and Super Smash Brothers Melee have completely trounced it. 

I'm going to start off with a bit of a clarification on the rules change that was edited into the previous post. For various reasons, Fighting is Magic was dropped from it's chances at top eight, and shifted over to the something else entirely. If it wins, there will be an exhibition tournament, with the top 8 players battling it out for a $1000 cashpot courtesy of EVO. It will already be highlighted in the Indie Game showcase, but this adds an extra layer.

Now the bad news.  Super Smash Brothers Melee has already jumped up to a whopping $13,848.  That's a pretty massive gap!  It's up to you guys to give it a win!  The proceeds go right to breast cancer research, so heavy competition is a win for everyone!

You can find the MLP Evo donation page here!

And of course, keep an eye on Mane6 for updates.

Author: Lucky Dreams

Drawfriend Stuff #689

I spent many a bathroom break on that one.  That's about as far as I go on portable games though.  Too bad EQD emails take up my bathroom breaks now... my poor DS hasn't had any attention in years.

Have some non bathroom related art!

Story: The Sixth Age (Update Part 5!)

[Adventure] [Sci-fi] "It's cyberpunk ponies in the future. If you don't like those things, then you probably won't like this story."

Author: TacticalRainboom

Description: Ivory spires that put to shame the mountain they're grafted to. Thousands of lives perched on a slab of iron bolted to the side of a cliff, with an artificial sun doin' its best to warm the shadows underneath.

Then there's the cybertech changin' the face of ponykind, not to mention magic the likes of which the world ain't seen for centuries. This, all of this, is New Canterlot. A magical place, in the dangerous way. Everythin' you ever dreamed of, and everythin' you ever feared. For what it's worth, good luck out there. You're probably gonna need it.

Updated Hub Commercial With Finale Event

A long time ago in season beginning far far away, there was a commercial that dropped everything from The Great and Powerful Trixieville to teasers about Twilight Sparkle's destiny.  It has since been updated and modified slightly, but with a brand new title at the end hinting at the season finale.

Sadly I'm not Xyro, so I used a camera.  You get the idea though!  There aren't any new scenes, just a title.

Head on down past the break for piles of spoilers and speculation.

And thanks to Micheal for pointing it out!
