Series 8 Blindbags At Tesco

It looks like the blindbags announced earlier are already available for order at Tesco.  Outside of random ebay auctions with these ponies, there aren't any confirmed reports of success in actually aquiring them, but you can give it a shot over at their website.

Thanks to Whatshisgame for the heads up!

Music of the Day #73

We have 20 songs for you all this time around! I'm noticing a pretty big trend of new musicians.  I used to recognize the names of everyone, but they are all new these days!

Onward to music.

Media Crossovers: Pony Slug, Archives of the Six / My Little Inception

Remember those old Metal Slug games? Remember the ridiculous level of difficulty? Twilight Sparkle handles that with no problems. Why is this? Because Twilight is best pony.

We start with that, followed by a bit of Fable, and finish with a ponified movie trailer of Inception. Find them all below!

2.) The Archives of The Six | MLP: Friendship Is Magic
3.) My Little Inception: Dreaming is Magic

Story: Dinky's First Kill

[Normal]

Author: Present Perfect

Description: Every child has a moment when they must come face to face with fear. It is a moment predicated in growth and exemplifying growing up. It is a moment that can define a childhood, for good or ill.

For Dinky Hooves, that moment has come.

Tumblr Spotlight: Ask The Zodiac Ponies/Clockwise Whooves/Scootaloo the Adventurer/Ask Hothlonian Ponies

Once again it is time to take a trip through the world of Tumblr and dig out some interesting samples from the world of Tumblr Pony. We've got a unique blend for you guys tonight so make sure to check them out!

If you have a tumblr you'd like to contribute, please make sure to send it along with a brief description of your tumblr to calpain@equestriadaily.com where I'll try my best to take a look at it for possible inclusion in a future post. Now on to our first tumblr this evening!

Ask the Zodiac Ponies

Much like the filly up above, many fans were ecstatic to see the unveiling of the zodiac ponies by the Hub a few months ago. Since then they have taken on a life of their own and are still popping up in artwork on dA to this day. One particularly impressive feat involving these ponies though revolves around this particular ask tumblr. In Ask the Zodiac Ponies, various questions are asked to the different ponies representing the zodiac and while this might not seem special at first glance what makes it truly unique is that each zodiac pony is handled by a separate artist! That's right, this tumblr is a collaborative effort, so if you're interested in seeing a variety of different styles, both art and story wise, then this tumblr is certainly worth checking out!

Game: MLP - Rise of the Clockwork Stallions Demo Release

Rise of the Clockwork Stallions has released a new demo for the game, complete with a whopping 35 characters and 12 levels. They also have a new video showing off a good amount of it for those of you that want to watch before you download.

Outside of a bit of framerate lag on my end, it's a pretty fun shooter/platformer hybrid.  Head on over here to pick it up, and find the video below the break!

Blindbag Wave 8 - Neon Editition

Someone sent these images over of the next set of Blindbag ponies.  It's looking like they are focusing on a neon style this time around, similiar to the last few sets and their metallic/transluscent forms.  These also look to be sneaking in a few of those collector edition ponies, with Gilda, Lotus, Granny Smith, and Cadance joining the fray.  I wonder if these will release before the Flim/Flam set that is scheduled for later in the year?

Anyway, enjoy your neon ponies!

Update: Another image!

Story Updates - March 3rd

Story updates? Story updates.  I honestly have no clue what to say up here anymore.

Drawfriend Stuff #733

For a species that thrives on the consumption of love it makes you wonder if they can love themselves? Who knows what changeling society is like when they aren't on the hunt for their next meal. Unfortunately, I fear it is another show mystery that will never be truly solved.

Anyhow, time for some art guys!
