Neat.
ReplyDeleteSubtle? Why would I want to be subtle?
ReplyDeleteAlso, still no mention of that TRU discount, Seth. There's only four days left.
I spawned 250+ parasprites on my old disused laptop just to see what happened once, the lag was glorious.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise thats a nice Rarity and the Pastebin thing could be useful.
Shut the yay up.
ReplyDeleteXD
That is a lot of Trixie.
ReplyDeleteNo fic report tonight either? But I need those numbers to figure out if my fic has been lost to the cracks in the universe or simply still in the queue.
ReplyDeleteIf I hadn't watched the lulzy video first, I would have BEEN first ;)
ReplyDeleteHonesty-vid was again interesting to listen to
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD FILLY TWILIGHT ON MY DESKTOP HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
ReplyDeleteYep desktop ponies running here too. Side note on that never leave AJ and parasprites running at the same time for too long.
ReplyDeleteDid not know there was a big mac suit, almost 2 grand for it jease some rich Bronys out there.
Woohoo, my antivirus blocks the desktop site.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like dem Lunas on the Ponypaste site.
Not much today, still need to find out the full details on what is happenening with Season 2 and episode 3
ReplyDelete@Fluttershy Invades Smoke Shop
ReplyDeleteOh god. Least it's just a figure...
@Video Defends Applejack's Element of Honesty
You could justfy it at her sucking at lying....till S2 when you realize even without the element she STILL sucks a lying.
@SIaanme
ReplyDeleteI just wish they'd include other submissions in that report.
Still have no clue if my PMV qualified...
So much Trixie will cause a quantum singularity. If I were Carl Sagan I'd advice not to do more than 50 Trixies, with protection!
ReplyDeleteI see you are definitely doing the Fanfic updatesin its separate post. Goodie! That will make things better :-)
Windows only for the desktop ponies? My soul just died a little.... :(
ReplyDeletethe volume of Google searches (using Google trends) has doubled! and we only had the first episode of season two last week!
ReplyDeleteIs the Roundup done with doing Fic Reports? Because I liked those...
ReplyDeleteDesktop pony's is pretty awesome. I had around 500 Derpy's on my screen at once... Was hard to get anything done with all the derping. :P
ReplyDeleteooo and the thought hits me...i wonder if these desktop ponys will work on a windows based phone........hmmmm....HAHAHHA must finf out after sleep
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it's time to fill my screen with ponies! Good Roundup as usual,

ReplyDeleteThe pre-reader that compiled the data had his laptop stolen sadly. It will probably be a while.
What the ... Someone actually bidded on Big Mac suit O_O
ReplyDeleteMeh, I was first last night... You win some, you lose some...
ReplyDelete2k for a big mac..wow.....
ReplyDeleteponys randomly running around..LOL LOL LOL dashy smashing rain cloud on icons...the mini games is hi larious
Think article says:
ReplyDelete"known as a pegasister"
wut?
Have I missed something and girls aren't bronies anymore?
No, Dashie. Anyone outside of the target audience is a brony, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Fluttershy is cute, Nyanface is cute, but Bloopers?
*punches through screen*
NO
The Applejack video was good. I really like the guy who does them. The amount of hate that Applejack gets did annoy me. It isn't her fault that her element sucks.
ReplyDeleteAlso another Fluttershy-as-a-cephalopod plushy. Why are ponies with tentacles so adorable? And yes that includes the Slendermare. It just wants friends.
Wow, I love that Octavia shirt that guy in the Vancouver photo is wearing! Super marmalade.
ReplyDeleteSo his defense of Applejack is that it's OK to lie sometimes? I don't even...
ReplyDelete@Dashie
ReplyDeletePegasisters is the current push for what Female fans of the series want to be called. Probably because Bronies is sorta a Male Description, and not every fan is Male.
TIP ON THE DESKTOP PONIES! Make sure you click the button on the bottom left that says "Zero all ponies" cause if you immediately click the "Give me ponies" you get exactly what that means: ALL THE PONIES!
ReplyDeleteWant to buy the furry suit and stuff it so I can have a gigantic plush :D
ReplyDeleteThat Yogscast vid is super old Seth. Not exactly their 'latest' vid.
ReplyDelete@Killsteal_wolf
ReplyDeleteIt's not what Females WANT to be called, it's just a term that very few people try to force in to community. I know many females who prefer the term "brony". It will hopefully die out soon.
(Also, how does one post as an answer to someone?)
@Finghost
ReplyDeleteAlright, it's what SOME want to be called. We shall see how it goes. It could happen, it could not.
And to post an answer to someone else, just hit that Reply button. Though I'm using a Google Account, you might need one to do it.
Oh and more and more each day I wonder what Seth's response would be if Trixie did return for Season 2. It's an if, it is possible.
I wouldn't call shirts with ponies faces on the exactly "subtle."
ReplyDeleteThe subtlest pony shirt I've seen is a grey t-shirt with some bubbles near the bottom on the side. (Think Derpy.)
@Drumfreak2421
ReplyDeleteGo to the downloads page thier is a mac an linux versions too. Its java.
I like the fact that the Fluttershy figure in the smoke shop is standing above the Surgeon General's Warning (look closely).
ReplyDelete@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteWell shoot. That sucks. My sympathies to that pre-reader.
@Kuro Fox
ReplyDeleteI think the first three shirts are subtle. The rest aren't, though. Maybe that's what they were referring too? o.O
"...a female brony (known by the Internet community as a pegasister)"
ReplyDeleteI never heard that before.
@Ricochet Report well, in the case of the surprise party, people will generally agree that lying is the better/correct option instead of ruining it for everyone by telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I don't get is when he mentions AJ lying to the CMC, I don't recall her ever doing that. I assume it's somewhere in Showstoppers, but I don't remember her ever outright lying to them in it.
Wanna post pony. But cant. Jesus i hate apple.
ReplyDeletePoor Fluttershy just became the fandom's censor bleep.
ReplyDelete@saberscorpion
ReplyDeleteI nominate Fluttershy to be the new surgeon general.
Fluttershy is now my smoking buddy.
ReplyDeleteGerman translation isn't bad, but Fluttershy and ESPECIALLY Rainbow Dash's voices are quite horrid :(
ReplyDelete@EonMaster
ReplyDeleteOh, for Celestia's sake!
Instead of outwardly lying or spoiling the surprise, why not try stating the truth in an evasive manner? Why Pinkie Pie's friends couldn't just say "We are working on some secret project, but we want to keep it as a surprise to everypony, even you, and thus we'll be too busy to attend to your party"? That way, they could avoid the whole "Pinkamena" incident.
Would it really be that hard?
In that light, their poorly invented lying is nothing more than a forced plot device. Unless they're stupid enough to be unable to come up with something THAT simple.
What about AJ cheating in Fall Weather Friends? Or lying in Look Before You Sleep?
ReplyDeleteI still stick by "ponies" (or "fillies" if you want to be distinctive) as the female term.
ReplyDeletePonies having a good game of hoofball on my screen??? o wait Fluttershy just made a hat trick!
ReplyDelete@RiffBrony
ReplyDeleteDashie TOTALLY started it =)
Defending Applejack as the element of honesty? Huh. I have seen one person, right here on E.D., who claimed that she lied all the time, but I didn't realize that it was a big thing.
ReplyDeleteSo much Trixie!
ReplyDeleteOh Seth, you silly :3
the AJ vid was quite good and I'm liking that pic of Rarity too. Not really as much news this time, but still good.
ReplyDeleteHah, 75 little Trixie's running around the desktop... that is quite a Great and Powerful desktop.
ReplyDeleteFluttershy in a smoke shop? I would think she'd be the -last- pony I'd find at a place such as a smoke shop. :P But she does look cute down there in her little plastic case.
Rarity wall chalk pony. :) Article was decent. Though I'm still not a fan of the term "Pegasister". I prefer to use "Brony" as a gender-neutral term for everyone.
Goodness, please don't speak of the damn Octavia instrument debate. Including that video which still didn't conclude anything. It rustles my jimmies every time it's mentioned. Eh, he made some decent points, as always and reiterated some of what I qas thinking. Though at the end of the day, I remember this is still a cartoon afterall. lol
The Ardra comic... yup, that's pretty much how it works.
And dang, now the Big Mac suit is being sold. And it's going for A LOT.
I old you all Simon was one of us!
ReplyDeleteTotally called it!
Maybe it needs to be unicolts and pegasisters- with /b/rony remaining the totally generic term?
ReplyDeleteYou can't ever totally get away from these issues, look at the word wo'man' o_O
That defense for Applejack was amazing, thanks for the notification!
ReplyDelete@ZuTheSkunk
ReplyDeleteThen you run into the same problem. "What is so secret that my friends don't want me, one of their best friends, to know about?" Even if she bought it everypony else had blatantly lied to her. She still would be saying that "it's all secrets and lies with those ponies". She's not an airhead like the CMC. She would start thinking about what sort of secret project would involve Sugar Cube Corner.
AJ's poor excuse for a lie gets Pinkie focused on how all her friends are lying to her instead of focusing on the lie itself. We also have to consider how unorganized the ponies were. They clearly never went so far as to come up with valid excuses. They were all made up on the spot. So I don't see why people expect AJ to come up with something better.
Now let's look at her lie itself.
Rainbow Dash just brought in some supplies for the renovation. Fixing up the whole thing top to bottom: True. This is not a lie. They are fixing up the place for the party.
Lots of construction going on in there: This is where she's starting to stretch it but it's still fairly honest. The party is being constructed. Streamers being placed up, balloons being filled, ect. It's definitely the weakest part of her story but she already went down that trail with what was a pretty honest excuse.
There wouldn't be a story if the writers gave the ponies good excuses. This is something that happens in real life. I expect perfectly executed surprise parties from mind numbing girls shows. Like G3 ponies. If there is no drama then where is the story?
If the writers avoided the whole "Pinkamena" incident there would be no character development. One of my favorite moments in the show wouldn't have happened because the writers didn't want AJ to be forced into a situation where she is wrestling with her element and her friendship. The character development is not limited to Pinkie. We know that AJ is capable of lying but she is horrible at it. We can easily see that she is struggling and that there is a battle going on inside her mind. It shows that there is a lot of depth to her character. She is a believable character. I would think much less of her if she couldn't lie.
fluttersquid HHHNGGG :3
ReplyDelete'Pegasister'? That's twice now I've heard that; why does it have to be another term? At least when I say 'brony' people don't go "huh?". Other terms sound like 'we're brony, but just not THOSE brony' to me.
ReplyDeleteUsing logic to 'lie without lying' seems like a stretch for a kids show. I know if I were a kid and a character did that, I would hate it.
@ZuTheSkunk "What could be so important that my friends would rather skip my party and keep it a secret from me"
ReplyDeleteThere, even without the lie, the same problem would occur. Obviously the other 5 didn't have a planned story in the case that Pinkie showed up at the barn, so AJ was put on the spot. If anything, her terrible lying should prove that she's honest at heart, and that lying is incredibly hard for her to do.
SHUT THE YAY UP! I'm gonna use that from now on.
ReplyDeleteAww, Flutteshy is trying to stop people from smoking.
ReplyDeleteFinally, someone defending Applejack! I agree with him completely. Octavia is still playing a cello though!
I love the desktop ponies! I've taken to leaving one or two running around during my lectures. I actually met another Brony today that way, he recognized Derpy & Pinkie from one of the rows behind me. Wish I had a bigger screen so I could have all my favorites, 1x size, and the ability to see my stuff all at the same time, though.
ReplyDelete@Cyl
ReplyDeleteThe internets. You win them. :D
Applejack didn't lie to the CMC, but they did ask her what she thought of their practice, to which her response was not to say anything.
ReplyDeleteWhy is that Yogscast thing just now getting posted on EqD?
ReplyDeleteI mean, Yogscast posted it all the way back in May..
Does anypony else think that was the Surgeon General's Warning underneath Fluttershy in the smoke shop pic? It would make sense, but it's a little hard to tell since the text if fuzzy.
ReplyDeleteThat's me in the White Shirt from the Vancouver Meetup.
ReplyDeleteRandom smokeshop Fluttershy is random. What are you doing there?!
ReplyDeletealso: I WANT that Big Macintosh suit! D: Nearly 3k now? BAH! Curse you bronies with monies... ;_;
