    Real Life Pony Sanctuary in Need

    I know a lot of you don't like real ponies, hell I'm in the same boat, but this is a good cause right?! So Nightly Roundup time!

    A sanctuary in the UK needs 4500 dollars by December 31st or it will be shut down, and the residential equines will be sent off to become dog food.

    Check out the reddit page for info on how you can help!


    Ponies Play Rhythm Games With Pony Music While Distracted

    Have some copy paste!:
    Exactly was it says on the tin. A contestant plays through a ridiculously long track of music created by the pony community, mixed so that they have no time to rest between songs. Hilarity ensues when the co-hosts attempt to keep the player distracted with prepared pony trivia, random antics and questions from the live audience.

    The first episode will stream live on Friday Nov 11 at 19:30 MST (or 7:30 PM for those of you who don’t understand 24 hour clocks, 9:30 PM EST for those on the east cost, and 2:30 AM GMT for those who live across the water). it will feature our contestant playing through a 40-60 minute track of pony music in Audiosurf on Ninja Mono with Ironmode on.

    The episode will be Co hosted by the BFA (Brony Foundation for the Arts) a group that works much like Mystery science theater 3000 but for pony fan-fiction which will be releasing some of their extremely funny video soon.

    Join us for a great time of dogging gray blocks, hitting colored ones, and some commentary worthy of <insurt favorite comedian here>.

    1. BroNYcon is going to be just sick. I'd give a left hind hoof to be there.

    2. Argg... I can't get skyrim till payday next week.. Thank Celestia I have ponies to keep me busy! :D

      ReplyDelete
    3. I am at the butt end of the time zones, so Skyrim will be in my mitts last... but hell, w/e. Also, all my monehs are going towards Skyrim, so sorry rlp's (Real-Life Ponies)...

      ...But I do get paid tomorrow. Think of the good press we might get because of this? Daw, just wishful thinking lol.

      ReplyDelete
    4. Lol. You talk about skyrim pony mods. But my pinkie mod is the only oblivion pony mod in existence.

      ReplyDelete
    5. This is the first time I've seen and read through the Nightly Roundup before going to bed...
      I can't tell if the Rhythm Heaven music sounds trippy because it is, or because I'm tired.
      I also feel emotionally connected to those ponies in the UK somehow.

      ReplyDelete
    6. The merch and custom ponies seem to get better every night! Now, if they'd only go down in price a bit ;)

      ReplyDelete
    7. That Audiosurf challenge thingy sounds way too easy. Only a few pony songs I've come across actually give a challenging course. :X

      ReplyDelete
    8. BF3 > MW3

      Fanboys, eat your heart out!
      Literally, all mw3/cod Fanboys go die. Or at least play a game that requires SOME skill and wasn't just a bad copy and paste job.
      EG: Skyrim

      Please :)

    9. For the king!

      For the king!

      For the sake of Skyrim!

      For our life, for our home

      For Hrothgar's blood

      For the Nords and for the Gods,

      For the sole single son

      Dovahkiin, our king, who'll dawn with fire!

    10. GAH! Thought that was Newmarket in the UK... seems to happen all the time! Those settlers had NO IMAGINATION for place names. Still, London on the 17th of December... Cripes, that means there's (at least) two meetups proposed for that day in the UK. There's another in the offing for Birmingham. Again, NOT Alabama.

      ReplyDelete
    11. HAHA! In Australia. Skyrim comes out in 3 hours! I'll be waiting in line tomorrow!
      FUS-RO-DAH!!!
      Gonna be a dunmer. Weilding 2 swords. Seriously, dual-weilding is so badass.

      ReplyDelete
    12. Yay! I helped organise that London meet up! Sort of!

      Well all right, I voted for the 17th over the 18th. And I might've suggested meeting at Trafalgar Square. But that just means that if it all goes tits-up, you can blame me. XD

      ReplyDelete
    13. I'm just sat here giggling away at everyone who thinks buying Skyrim (Or any Bethesda game) on day one is a good idea.

      Oh Bronies, you so silly.

      ReplyDelete
    14. @warhunter
      "Seriously, dual-weilding is so badass."

      Look at how they applied that theory to COD... be weary of what you say, lest everyone else start dual wielding rendering it cliché.

      ReplyDelete
    15. @Jelfes
      Nice rhyme.

      I'm excited for Skyrim, but I'm too invested in Fallout: 3 right now (curse these simple but time-eating acheivements!) to get it. =(

      On a side note, I should finish getting said acheivements by November 15th! Perfect timing!

      ReplyDelete
    16. I'll just wait for the Game of the Year edition to go on discount on Steam. Eeyup.

      ReplyDelete
    17. Yup, I am the only person in the known universe not planning on getting Skyrim. lol

      I bought that molded toy set at the top in the Merchandise Report for a little less than $10 at Target about a month or so back too. They had them on sale there as well. Not sure if they still do though.

      Huh, that Rhythm Heaven game for the Wii looks rather funky and fun. :D That tune is also pretty catchy.

      Dang, 90 Bronie meetup. And I thought the 60 we had at that one meet I went to in Dallas was large. Seems like a great deal of Bronies in CA.

      Derpy cake! So nice and pretty too. <3

      Hey, I like real ponies! Or, well, horses anyway. Close enough. lol But awww, darnit. I really hope that sanctuary gets the money they need in time. The thought of all of their ponies being sent off to be made into dog food is a pretty sad one. :'(

      That rhythm games... event, sounds like an interesting concept.

      ReplyDelete
    18. "You guys better make them compatible with the steam version!"

      Isn't Skyrim a Steamworks game??

      ReplyDelete
    19. Skyrim! AHA! At last we meet, after so many years! Also, Seth, there is *only* a steam version. Its Steamworks, like New Vegas.

      I remember reading somewhere that there is no official mod support, but I may be thinking of Battlefield 3.

      @Jelfes
      Dual-weilding... Give me a bow, Ill show you how much good an extra sword does you.

      @Jango-Fett
      "Literally, all mw3/cod Fanboys go die."

      You make the rest of us Battlefield players look bad when you do that. Even though your right, you don't have to be so aggressive.

      ReplyDelete
    20. AAAAA Skyrim in a day!

      Also dat Fluttershy plushie o.o

      ReplyDelete
    21. *Reads roundup*

      Dog... Food...
      Its like... real life Cupcakes...

      Wait- SCRUFFY, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

      ReplyDelete
    22. Done.

      A worthy cause, and considering the exchange rate to pounds...

      ReplyDelete
    23. Must listen to skyrim music while watching MLP there is no greater feat of epicness!!

      ReplyDelete
    24. Those keyrings look nice but are fragile, as they are shrinky dinks and the holes are rather close to the edge.

      Also, I would think a better challenge for the rhythm thing would be to use Beat Hazard instead of Audiosurf.

      ReplyDelete
    25. hey guys listen...thats the osund of skyrim on my computer (im dutch) so to all the bronies. just one more day for you

      ReplyDelete
    26. i like how cake gets its own part of the round up :D

      ReplyDelete
    27. That new wiki needs a fuckton of polishing up. it looks like a pile of mush and some crumbly dry mess.

      ReplyDelete
    28. Oh that cake... that wonderfully-cockeyed cake.

      ReplyDelete
    29. LOL the Prancing Skilltaire got a reference as a brony meet!? Oh Seth, you so silly! That's one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) furmeets in Cali! I know how hypocritical some of these brony can be about furries, it'll be interesting to see if anypony who doesn't liek furries goes X3. See ya Saturday!

      @Jango-Fett no no, you're totally correct about MW3. I mean, I'm sure you've done your homework and played the game too and gave it an honest review. It would be awful if you were just another troll commenting on how the game doesn't have a shiny new engine so it must be bad. I'll see you in a week when the BF3 fad is over and everyone's playing MW3 =3.

      ReplyDelete
    30. Holy crap! What is this!
      Forged in God's very flames!
      Do mine eyes, tell me lies,

      I'll be gone Albion, I'm no longer your fool!

      Other crap filled the gap
      While I waited to begin...

      The adventure of my life
      in the land of Skyrim!!!!

      ReplyDelete
    33. Skyrim in only a few hours :)

      And I think the pony mods will initially be re-skins, then sound mods, then possibly filters, then it gets real with the new models and levels, then it gets epic when a mod team joins together to add Equestria as a world and/or an explainable and playable and voiced and completely modified version of character progression for a pony player.(oblivion races tended to be quite buggy and had many plot holes and problems etc.)

      I just hope there isn't a war of meanness and discontent when new models come out, and I really hope they script them right. Maybe I'll throw my hat in this time to make some :)

      Also, I want that cake.

      ReplyDelete
    34. We need more hats , I personally would love a line of ball cap style hats in the color of there respected pony with 3D manes that extend down the back

      ReplyDelete
    35. Sweet, another London meet. I'M IN!

      ReplyDelete
    36. You should have acted.
      She was already here.
      The Elements of Harmony told of her return.
      Her imprisonment was mearly delay.
      Til the time after the moon opened.
      When the mares of Equestria would spill their own blood.
      But no one wanted to believe,
      believe she even exists.
      And when the truth finally dawns;
      it dawns in Nightmare
      But,
      there's six she fears
      In their Tongue, they are Dovahkiin
      Element Born!

    37. Who needs Skyrim when Skyward Sword is upon us? :O

      ReplyDelete
    38. Getting Skyrim tonight at midnight WOO!!! Also have Skyward Sword pre-ordered!!!!

      ReplyDelete
    39. It's so funny. Skyrim will be released tomorrow, and I haven't even finished oblivion yet D:
      These games just require too much time.

      ReplyDelete
    40. Those horses :(

      I donated, hopefully my meager amount will help

      ReplyDelete
    41. Derpy is best cake. Also best ornament.

    43. The only break from Skyrim I'll get this weekend is an hour of pony.

      I'm debating whether sleep is important or not.

      ReplyDelete
    44. Huh, the link to the live-stream channel the Audiosurf challenge is gonna be on says it starts at 9:30 am. Either someone made a typo, or they changed it to the morning.

      ReplyDelete
    45. @Brittany
      Every little bit helps. If every brony reading this gave just $5 or $10, they'd probably raise more than enough to save Ponderosa Pony Rescue.

      ReplyDelete
    46. What you mean 'Skyrim in a day'? Most people here have it already. :3

      Also I am so buying one of those hats. I just can't decide on Rainbow Dash or Rarity. (Probably Rarity.)

      ReplyDelete
    47. @Chaoyll

      Nevermind, the hats don't ship to the UK. Typical. :/

      ReplyDelete
    48. Been playing Skyrim all day, the place I bought it from sent it early.
      Yes, it is awesome.

      ReplyDelete
    49. @ShoutingRyan

      NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Winona! STOOOOOP!!!

      I'm excited for Skyrim, but I'm more excited for Skyward Sword... I love Zelda, I'll probably plow through the game in a week or two. Skyrim is a whole other thing. While Zelda will be rather concise, a story to be delivered in an orderly and progressive fashion, Skyrim is a daunting thing. I have almost 400 hours into my Fallout 3 game... and I've still not finished the main quest. New Vegas and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, are not passed being started... I just love Fallout 3 too much. I'm not rushed to get it, but I will admit... Working at a Gamestop and having the employee discount was enough to knock off enough of the insane collectors edition price for me to give in and justify it.

      Now I can have my very own dragon staring down at me from my upper desk tier, looking at me in a condescending way that says... Tisk, tisk... you spent that much on ME! For shame!

      ReplyDelete
    50. Instead of buying games, why don't you donate your money to that Pony Sanctuary

      ReplyDelete
    51. Yeah, what the hell! How can any of you not like real life ponies? I have a few in my backyard and I can tell you they are just as good as the cartoon ones. Please help save an actual life. If you love fake ponies you should care about actual living ones that need your compassion to keep them alive. If you have to, just pretend that the ponies at the sanctuary are named Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Luna, Lyra, Bon Bon, Vinyl, and everypony else.

      ReplyDelete
    52. No income, in high school, living with mother... So there's not really anything I can do to help the real life ponies. I would if I could, though. D:

      ReplyDelete
    53. Skyrim looks amazing, must get it when money is in my account. :D

      BroNYcon......AGH WHY CAN'T I GO DAMN ME FOR LIVING IN THE UK AND DAMN MY HOLIDAY SAVINGS PUT MONEY IN THERE FASTER SO I GO TO NEW YORK AND HAVE EPIC FUN TIMES!!!!! XD

      London meetup...AWESOME STUFF!!!! However i'm working but i'll try and see if I can get someone to swap with me. :)

      And the Pony Sanctuary story is pretty sad, I don't like it when animal sanctuaries get shut down it's just not right, I will make sure to give some money to them as soon as I get paid. :)

      ReplyDelete
    54. I've talked to those BFA guys, as soon as one of them sees this grammar, they're gonna riff on it, they hate bad grammar and spelling. Oh do please give Ryex a hard time about this.

      ReplyDelete
    55. You should have acted, They're already here.

      The Harmony Scrolls told of their return, Their defeat was merely delay.

      Til the time after Discord's return, when the daughters of Equestria would spill their own blood.

      But no-one wanted to believe...Believe they even existed.

      And when the truth finally dawns,It dawns in fire!

      But, There's one they fear.

      In their tongue, she is Dovahkiin: DRAGONBORN!

      Fluttershy: yay

      ReplyDelete
    56. All the attention this Skyrim is getting is pissing me off, what will this become, another Portal annoying fame level game? God...

      ReplyDelete
    57. Am I the only person that had to google Skyrim to find out what it is? and that FiM wrapping paper is gorgeous. If only I had some gifts to wrap.

      ReplyDelete
    58. I never could understand how anyone could hate horses. It's just all the more baffling when it's bronies. I love each and every one of you who donated.

      "A man that don't love a horse," Will Rogers wrote August 17, 1924, in the New York Times, "there is something the matter with him. If he has no sympathy for the man that does love horses then there is something worse the matter with him."
