• Nightly Round Up #21

    Shouldn't Luna be the theme pony for these?  Why didn't I think of that before?

    Anyway off to the news!

    Fluttershy Rap Hits #3 For Most Favorited Video On Youtube.

    Looks like ponies have gone viral once again!  How many of these does it need before it hits an internet record?  The Fluttercussing Rap thing from a few days ago has spread to just about every corner of the web, and continues to grow in popularity.  And to think, I almost didn't post it due to the subject matter!


    Pinkie Pie Describes the Events of Sonic Rainboom

    This is pretty old, but just in case some of you newer people haven't been exposed to it, Pinkie Pie actually explains the "Rainbow Dash saving Rarity" scene from Sonic Rainboom during Griffon the Brushoff.  Check out the video below, it demonstrates it pretty clearly. 








    You know, I used to think Star Wars geeks were pretty ridiculous with all of their reading between the lines and fanon... yet here I am doing it with My Little Pony. 



    Grimdark Pony RP Forums

    Tired of that happy go lucky show centric RP other boards roll with?  This one looks to defeat that, with a corrupt Princess Celestia and much darker setting.  If you are interested in something like this, you can find the site here!



    Diamond Dog Names Assigned to Specific Dogs

    Looks like Jayson has cleared some stuff up for us.  While Lauren did give us the names of all three dogs, she didn't specify which was which.  So, have a list of dogs, and names!
    • Rover: The leader
    • Fido: The big one
    • Spot: The small bulldog
    We don't have a ton of fics about these guys, but at least they have names now!



    Four More Official Tee Shirts from Welovefine.com


    The people over at We Love Fine have released a few new officially licenced brony centric shirts. They are still really interested in hearing feedback from everyone in the community.   This is the only place specifically targeting us so far with an actual FiM license, so supporting it is a good way to show Hasbro that we are relevant in the money making scheme of things.  (so better merch in other words!) 

    Their contest entries will also be going through a voting process a week from today for all of you who entered.  Good luck!

    Also have some links!

    Spike Shirt
    Twilight Sparkle Shirt
    Pinkie Pie Shirt
    Pinkie Pie Shirt 2


    FiM Android Soundboard Updated

    The guy who built the Android pony soundboard has upgraded the app to version two!  Each pony got an extra five sounds, and all of the broken links have been fixed.  You can find the new version here! I highly suggest just downloading it straight to your phone and using a free unzip application like Androzip to extract it.  It literally takes 50 seconds (counting the megaupload download timer)



    14 Minute Pony Review from Dark Side of the Moon

    This guy did a full explanation/review of Friendship is Magic.  He does a really good job of explaining why the show is so popular.  You can find it here!



    Yoyo Pro Website Does a Brony Shoutout

    Apparently we are taking over yoyo websites now!  Ponies have popped up over at Yoyoskills.com.  Sadly it looks like they used a G1 for the main banner.  Oh well... You can find the actual post here!



    Urban Dictionary Throws Brony up as Word of the Day
    More major websites plugging ponies!  It's official, we have invaded EVERYTHING.

    You can find that here



    Equestria Daily News

    League of Legends Pony Hero

    Bad news on the League of Legends recruit a friend thing.  According to CAD comic, You don't actually help design a champion at all.  Kind of pointless I guess! Oh well...

    Episode Poster Contest

    This poster is awesome, and I think every episode needs one, so why not turn it into a competition thing?  I haven't really figured out the specifics yet, since I have a bunch of projects rolling right now, but I do want to gauge feedback.  How many of you would be interested in something like this?







    Lots of updates to the June/July Meetups!

    If you guys haven't been following the meetup post, and want to meet your fellow bronies, make sure to check it out! It updates pretty frequently.  A new one will be going up on July 1st to cover July/Aug. 



    And that is all for the news!  Off to schedule tomorrow morning!

    2. I'd just like to be the first to say...PMVs don't show how AWESOME Ponies actually are...The Show, Trailers, Lip Synced videos especially such as this FlutterGuy Rap video, and the many Parodies such as the PonyCraft 2 is what makes ponies awesome in the eyes of the viewers...

    5. Wow, I'd love seeing posters for all the episodes, so why not, a competition would be nice, not to mention productive for all those bronies fresh out of the NATM ^^

      ReplyDelete
    6. The episodes poster contest seems like a cool idea!

      ReplyDelete
    7. The first thing which came to my mind when looking at the show was...''Perfect Material for Parodies'' and the Lip Sync + Swearing + Other popular Stuff just shows it
      When you combine cute ponies with Bad Ass trailers or tons of Swearing you usually get viral videos

    12. @SethistoThe LoL referral prize doesn't work that way. The artist of Ctl-Alt-Del had the same idea (with an Spider Shark instead of a pony) and he posted this in news recently:

      "Last night I got to sit down and chat with Riot's Steve Mescon (RiotPendragon) for a couple of hours.

      Among other things, we talked about the 10k referral reward, and he informed me that the nature of the reward is less "Go design a champion with Riot" and more "Go work on a champion they've already designed". They have their champion concepts laid out pretty far in advance... the next 4-5 months worth of champions are already in some stage of the design process, and they'd have me working on one of the champions way down the road."

      ReplyDelete
    13. Well, that just confirmed the fact that Pinkie can indeed cross space AND time. She's a living time machine/wormhole!

      ReplyDelete
    14. That League of Legends thing sounds pretty cool, if we can invade and spread the pony influence then sign me up!

      Also, I'm really digging the poster contest, that Griffon Brush Off poster looks awesome. I'd love to try my hand at it and see what the community can come up with, I give it a yay~.

      ReplyDelete
    15. Haha League of Legends... good times...

      Ever Thought of doing Patapon? :D

      heh Well anyways The Poster Contest seems Nice. Can't Wait to Assign one as my Wallpaper for my Favorite Episode..

    16. Hey! Cool poster! "GRIFFON BRU F" is my favourite episode!

      But no, seriously. I'm all for a contest!

    29. I didn't even pay attention to what pinkie was saying till I say that video.
      You think they'll do something like that in S02?

      I'v seen a few of the ep posters before for boast busters. Very cool stuff.

      ReplyDelete
    30. Fluttershy video has more views than the season finale

      ReplyDelete
    31. Someone pointed out what pinkie said in griffon the brush off and I disagree;

      for one pinkie doesn't mention Rainbow saving anyone, just a dive.

      Second Rainbow has practised often for the wonderbolts so there are MANY cases of stunts for pinkie to talk about.

      third, in call of the cutie Rainbow also did a low flying dive during her first sonic rainboom, so possibly it's her signature move.

    32. Why isn't the soundboard available through the Android Appstore?

    33. The poster contest sounds like a cool idea.

      ReplyDelete
    34. I think the point is Pinkie Pie obviously has a huge girl crush on Dashie, and that's cute, regardless of your position on Dash's "fanonical" fillyfooler status.

      Personally; Dashfire > Flutterdash > Pinkiedash.

      ReplyDelete
    38. As for the shirts being targeted "at us", let's say that 1/3rd of bronies are women, and 1/2 of those wear juniors sizes. (Pretty generous estimation, I imagine.) Even with those numbers, those shirts are still only made for 1/6th of all bronies. Can we see some shirts for men and adult women, please?

      ReplyDelete
    39. Urban Dictionary also put the Fluttershy Rap on their FaceBook page with a comment saying "hope you enjoyed that bronies"

      ReplyDelete
    40. Ok, now if everyone who saw The Fluttercussing Rap would vote for MLP here: http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/tubey.php ...

      ReplyDelete
    41. Hokay then, either Pinkie is predicting the future, recounting a prophetic dream, or retelling 'Sonic Rainboom', since the episodes aren't necessarily in chronological order. In all cases, Twilight couldn't care less.

      ReplyDelete
    42. I am spanish, so I am inmune to English typos :3

      Also, Luna fits perfectly for the Nightly Round Up. Especially soaking wet water dripping Lune X3

      I love the DSoT 3 Review, he was really funny and fair with the show. We need more people doing reviews like these. Not praising it, but giving it an objective review.

      ReplyDelete
    43. If we really took over major websites, google would have pony banners everyday. Youtube's most viewed videos are pony videos. Signboards everywhere in the world(Not ONE in Asia)a major cartoon broadcaster i.e. Cartoon Network/Disney/Nick or the hub in every country. We're not done with the admins' insane plans. I think I talked like pinkie pie.

    44. I saw DSotM's review on The Guy with the Glasses a while ago.

    45. Hrmph, no mention of the shoutout to MLP: FIM from Linkara on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com? He didn't actually say anything about the show but he used the theme song in a joke.

      ReplyDelete
    46. Anyone else wish they would release some shirts with out silly LOL MEME text?..Or maybe just, actual quotes from the show. I'd buy the shit outta these shirts if they didn't contain stupid buzz words like "LOL" and "EPIC".

    49. Those shirts are all for girls... :(

    50. Hmmmm, now I'm curious. Does this mean Pinkie is even more enlightened than we thought, or does this prove that episodes aren't in chronological order?

      ReplyDelete
    51. MLP: FiM must win the poll!

      It must.

      It must.

      IT MUSSSTTTT.

      ReplyDelete
    52. Those shirts were exactly the ones Ponychan hated, mainly for the non-use of real pony memes, the not-so-subtle inclusion of the characters, et cetera. The people from the company claimed they were "filler shirts" for the moment, well, we can clearly see what happened to that.

      ReplyDelete
    53. I'm looking so much forward for seeing all the other t-shirt designs that is going to be submitted! XD At the moment, there isn't any pony shirt I find good enough neither for me nor the youngsters in the family I want to expose to ponies to actually wear...

      ReplyDelete
    54. Am I the only one that's annoyed at the fact that everywhere the word "brony" is defined it's defined as the older MALE fans? Whenever we talk amongst ourselves we always agree that female fans are also bronies. Yet nowhere on the internet does it seem that people are trying to make that fact known as well. Meh...just something that bugs me.

    59. It's painfully obvious Pinkie is the best pony. Breaking time and space and we didn't even realize it.

      ReplyDelete
    60. As I've said before: I would totally wear an appropriately-coloured shirt with a Lacoste-style tiny animal on the front. A certain toothless crocodile comes to mind immediately, of course, but any of the animal companions on the show would do. Other bronies would recognize you on the street, but it would be subtle enough so as not to be too embarassing or inappropriate in certain environments.

      ReplyDelete
    61. I can't in good conscious thumb up the Urban Dictionary brony entry. "midnight sparkle"? "friendship blast"? Ugh.

      ReplyDelete
    62. Well, Twilight Sparkle does have a daughter named Midnight in Out in the Cold/Shades of Midnight/Cries in the Autumn Wind.

      Not that that's really the point.

    64. Just a quick fix even though probably many has done, but the MLP toy they used for the ganner is a G3. All ponies do have a difference from one another. A hint for now: Telling by the sparkle of the eyes.

      Otherwise... I want the shirts. :O

      Uhm, female fans are not "bronies", the word BROnies itself says it. Not being sexist or anything, but the term is for male fans exclusively.

      As for the girls, I don't know, how about the good-old terms "fillies" or "mares" we've been giving them, at least sounds better than "sisnies".

      ReplyDelete
    66. @Milleniummaster18

      "Filly" is already taken; it means young female horse. Why not have "brony" be inclusive of all genders? If a differentiation is needed, why not colt-brony and filly-brony?
      Or, for that matter, why not have female fans decide for themselves how they'd like to be called? My impression is that many of them are fine with the term "bronies" applying to them, as well, regardless of the term's origins.

      ReplyDelete
    67. "check out my cutie mark" wahaha

      ReplyDelete
    68. Why couldn't Urban Dictionary have featured "Brony"? That definition is actually well-written. >:|

      ReplyDelete
    69. @Milleniummaster18
      I don't know... Everytime I've seen the topic of what to call female fans come up, they just end up with brony. @OldPCBrony
      What you said. I'd be all up for the female fans to decide what they want to be called. We could have a poll to see what it'll be. Mainly I just want some finality to this. There are just too many inconsistencies as of now...

      ReplyDelete
    70. Just in case anybody was worries about the whole "Make a LoL Pony Champion" thing:

      http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=771923

      Don't worry, a good chunk of Riot is comprised of bronies. They'll probably make one eventually even without the 10k referrals.

    72. What the hell is up with those stupid T-shirts? They just decided to ignore us and go with those crappy filler designs they showed us a few weeks back? Is that even the same company? If it is, why did they ignore our request threads on here and ponychan?

      ReplyDelete
    73. I'm female and call myself a brony...

      Bah, the We Love Fine shirts are the super girly ones :| What about the meme shirts?

      ReplyDelete
    74. About the Fluttershy video, how is it #3? If I look here, number 3 is not it, in fact its 9500 favorites doesn't put it anywhere in these lists not even on the daily ones ... sooo what?

      About brony being gender specific or not, I too agree that it would be nice if we could decide, maybe a poll like the others have suggested, and if we have done that we could also correct the urban dictionary entry *rollseyes*

      P.S.: I side with brony not being gender specific

      ReplyDelete
    75. Need shirt with Pinkie peering straight at the camera with "What 4th wall?" under it.

    76. Meh... this will only cover 1/6th of the brony population. We need more T-Shirts with better phrases, pronto!

    77. I'd buy an official shirt...if they came in actual men's sizes.

    80. @Milleniummaster18

      I agree with the others. I much prefer brony to apply to any member of the fandom, not just one gender.

      'Becoming a brony' is such a pervasive term that has a lot of meaning within the fandom. It seems wrong to exclude so many people from that when they're just as big fans as we are. 'Becoming a filly' doesn't really have any meaning to it.

      ReplyDelete
    81. I think a once-a-week poster-per-episode contest would be a great continuation/sequel to the artist training grounds. Stick a poll in each one and declare a winner at the end of each week. Should last till S2 begins too. Throw it at Phoe, she must be getting bored...
