• Nightly roundup #177 - Dancing Twilight Sparkles

    You can be a bad dancer all you want Twilight,  everyone still wants to hang out with you during a thunder storm. 

    Have some news!


    Philippine Brony Convention

    Meetups are oldschool outside the USA! It's time for full on conventions!

    The Philippine Brony community is planning a convention in the future. They are giving a few months notice to get everything ready, but the actual event will take place at the end of march. If you are in the area, hit up the deviant art page for more information! I'll keep the updates on it going until it's a bit closer, so be sure to check the roundups for any new developments!

    Brony@Home Project a Huge Success, But Needs More!

    Copy Paste:
    After the first mention here, the number of newcomers who joined Brony@Home amazed me. To those in the team, congratulations on our fandom advertisement, and progress, shooting up to the top 2500, and still rising. But now it's time to recruit more members! Those who don't know what this is: It's the largest worldwide project that uses unused computing power to simulate proteins, to understand how they cause cancers/diseases when they don't work properly. The program runs invisibly in the background, so you never know it's there. Details can be found in the link below, with instructions, links, and tips.

    As we have all these members, I'm also creating a competition, with prizes for those who contribute the most, consistently (so those with slow computers can win, too), and of course, random draws. Details aren't finalised, but I should have something official in a few weeks, so look out for another mention, or check out the link below. You don't have to register, so pop in and say hi!

    Belgium Brony Meetup

    Copy Paste:
    Since the Benelux Brony Group recently had their brony meet-up in the Netherlands, and a few Belgian bronies much regret that they could not go, I decided to organize one myself :D


    Date, Location, Activities, etc. .. are all still blank. With the upcoming exams, it’s also going to take a while to decide everything.


    If we can agree on a date together, we’ll start a thread about it on the wall


    Somewhere between 2-7th of January (Second week of the Christmas Holidays)


    We’re going to drop Sunday, because no shops will be open at that time (And then we can’t buy any ponies D: )




    The same goes for location. We’re currently deciding where to hold the meet-up.


    In Antwerp or in Ghent.




    At the moment, no activities are planned besides hanging around in the city like Zombie Ponies. So, if you have any ideas, feel free to share & care!

    2. Dance party at twilights place





      Seinfield, now thatts a good combo with ponies

      ReplyDelete
    3. Twi, you really should've taped yourself dancing. If you'd sent it in to Harry Hill at YBF!, you'd be £250 better off by now.

      ReplyDelete
    4. Wait, really? I hope MaximillianVeers gets better.

      ReplyDelete
    5. I've forgotten how.much I loved Seinfield XD

      ReplyDelete
    6. >No clever worldplay or in-jokes for older fans.

      Way to research, magazine!

      ReplyDelete
    7. Incidentally, that's the US Toys R Us shop. The UK one only has the older gen toys for sale (I just looked).

      At least it has the newer toys in now, but a lot of them are out of stock.

      ReplyDelete
    8. Oh good! A Mario Kart 7 MLP group. I'll add that right away. :D

      ReplyDelete
    9. Twilight isn't a bad dancer, Commander Shepard approved her dancing personally.

      ReplyDelete
    10. I've been with the Tom's hardware folding@home team,
      and I'm in the top 50, but now that I know there's an
      brony folding@home team, sorry Tom, but I'm gone!

      ReplyDelete
    11. Twilight has the best dance I've seen yet. And that Seinfield clip was just hilarious xD

      And Gulf Coast Bronies is the closest group to me I've seen yet :O

      ReplyDelete
    12. Something about that magazine article disturbed me...couldn't tell at first, but I finally realized it:

      Why is Rainbow Dash breaking the fourth wall of it and not Pinkie Pie? O_o

      ReplyDelete
    13. "[My Little Pony] is free of clever wordplay or in-jokes"
      Wait, really?
      Did they actually watch the show?

      ReplyDelete
    14. Crazy Dancing Twilight is Best Pony. :-)

      ReplyDelete
    15. haha twilight is the best pony! and my favorite! i'd love to have one of those stockings...to bad i don't do stockings for christmas anymore :(

      ReplyDelete
    16. Ooooh interviews! I can't wait.

      The magazine was wrong. There's lots of wordplay and in-jokes obviously. Though I do appreciate that it's well hidden, I hate it when cartoons make the adult/pop culture references too blatant.

      ReplyDelete
    17. Honestly I'm just glad for the coverage. I don't mean to sound negative towards the magazine, just had to point that out.

      Also Tabitha St Germain's nickname is "T-Bone"? That's George Costanza's desired nickname! It all fits!

      ReplyDelete
    18. are there such things as unsuccessful meetups?

      ReplyDelete
    19. Aw, man, and I went shopping for pony stuff yesterday!

      ReplyDelete
    20. Holy...
      That cake has my name on it, and my B-Day is tomorrow.

      IT'S A SIGN!

      ReplyDelete
    21. Definitley go listen to the Tabitha St Germain interview. She's so funny.

      Somepony please snag a interview with her. Everfree Radio, EQD, etc.

      ReplyDelete
    22. I think Twilight being a poor dancer makes her even better. That means I can dance poorly with her. <3

      Eh, the US has BroNYCon. Which was the first full on Brony convention. So I wouldn't say that. But there's a lot to getting a successful convention going smoothly. Even the smaller ones. I think most underestimate just how big the task can become. And this is coming from someone who has been lead and staffed at dozens of conventions over the years.

      Darnit, Toys R Us always has their sales at times I'm not able to visit one. And there's none around me for a good drive. Ah well. I've got most of the merchandise they carry that I want at this point.

      That little magazine article states the storylines have no clever word-play or in-jokes. Are you guys really sure about that? ;)

      Yeah, a lot of people commented in the post to the episode right after about her dance being a lot similar to Elaine's from Seinfeld. I'm not a huge Seinfeld fan, so I didn't pick up on it until people started linking that part from Seinfeld. It just makes the whole thing even more hilarious and great. lol

      *whispers* Psst, Seth... hey, Seth... Trixie is SO Scrooge. ;) Also, it's not a true pony Christmas without a pony stocking hanging up. :)

      I think that English class assignment is our funniest presentation here yet. It had me cracking up several times. Hilarious Macbeth parody you guys.

      Oooh, a list of chords for The Pony Everypony Should Know. Too bad I don't play the piano or guitar. D: But still cool.

      ReplyDelete
    23. Oooh, interviews! I'm listening to the one with Tabitha now. (Still would LOVE to have someone interview her! I hear she's a riot. :D )

      ReplyDelete
    24. No clever word play or in-jokes from MLP? I don't know about that, magazine article writer.

      ReplyDelete
    25. @ bombe
      like what? only one person shows?

      ReplyDelete
    26. Wow I'm actually still awake for this. Dammed homework. Good thing vacations are just around the corner, more time for poniponiponi.
      That magazine has do some better research before publishing stuff like that, but at least it isn't anything negative.

      ReplyDelete
    27. Twilight danced fine in the episode party of one. So what happened twilight? Mable you need to read those dancing books over again.

      ReplyDelete
    28. God I want to go to one of these brony meetups, I just think im not old enough. a brony is 15 and older right? If so, then damn...

      ReplyDelete
    29. protein folding algorithms are cool and all, but I'm just going to keep playing around with Foldit and waiting for practical quantum computers so that the really tough stuff is made easier.

    30. @Mike

      *sees the list of scientific papers that have used distributed computing power*

      you know what? I'm in.

      ReplyDelete
    31. I never realised how much Elaine from Seinfeld sounded like Twilight. Then again I used to watch Seinfeld because my dad would insist on watching it. I should try watching it again, I might have been too young for it the first time around.

      I've got the feeling that whoever wrote the magazine just let one episode play in the background and didn't pay that much attention, if they even watched it at all. The fact that they apparently watch "Suited for Success" and didn't find anything interesting tells me that they really weren't trying that hard.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Entertainment reporters are notorious for not doing research. In all honesty, that blurb sounds like the entire thing was paraphrased from an article I remember over the summer. There the author also suggested that the show didn't cater to older fans with jokes and references that were for them alone. To her credit, however, that author took the input from the fans who responded and penned a brief follow up correcting that point, mentioning the Sondheim homages and others.

      ReplyDelete
    33. :Reads magazine artical::

      Hmm no in jokes or clever word play......

      Some one has clearly not watched the show before writing about it.

      ReplyDelete
    34. Bad dancing? I've had a gif of that epic dance in another browser all night long while chatting on MLPFourms.

      ReplyDelete
    35. Oh man, if I can get my 3DS hooked up to the Internet, I would SO join that Mariokart 7 group!

      ReplyDelete
    36. I definitely agree that whoever wrote the magazine article didn't look into the series. Guitar and piano chords? Neat. And if I get a hold of Mario Kart 7, I know where I'll be hanging out.

      ReplyDelete
    37. Hehe, I love that Seinfeld TWILIGHT SPARKLE dance.

      ReplyDelete
    38. The correct term is 'Twilights Sparkle'.

      ReplyDelete
    39. "Unlike other cartoons popular with grown-ups, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic makes almost no concessions to its older audience."

      "...and the storylines are free of clever word play or in-jokes."

      "None of that, though, has stopped the 'Bronies,' as male fans are known, from spreading their pony love online..."

      Way to not do your research and make it seem as if we like the show for some off/weird reason.

      ReplyDelete
    40. "...makes almost no concessions to its older audience"

      "...free of clever word play or in-jokes."

      What.

      ReplyDelete
    41. Whoa. Trevor Devall not only voices FancyPants, but Prince Blueblood as well! So he voices the best male pony, and the worst!

      MIND = BLOWN

      ReplyDelete
    42. What a poorly researched article. At least they didn't try to draw a connection between bronies and child porn in the first sentence or choose a transsexual adult baby as the representative of bronies like some articles I've read.

      And Elaine from Seinfeld was the first thing that went through my mind when I saw Twilight dancing. Excellent crossover video.

      ReplyDelete
    43. "Pff, Trixie is so not scrooge..."

      Yeah, Scrooge learns a lesson and becomes a good person.

      ReplyDelete
    44. "Ponies invade another magazine"

      *squee*

      ReplyDelete
    45. Hi, I see that there will be a belgian brony meetup. Somepony knows more about it? I'm a bit interested.
      Thanks

      ReplyDelete
    46. Whoa whoa whoa, Ponies alongside Sidney Crosby?!?!?!

      BEST MAGAZINE EVER!

      ReplyDelete
    47. Dude, I'd want to hang out with Twilight in a thunder storm *because* she's a bad dancer. And we would dance.

      Now, if you'll excuse me, I'mma get me some blind bags. "Cause ya don't ask whyyy when it's Heartstrings and Bon Bon~ Doo dee doo dooo, doo dee doo dooo, doo dee dooo~"

      ReplyDelete
    48. I sure do hope they get more Collectible Ponies Sets in stock again this week.

    54. shit I don't have a facebook and don't want one... but I am a gulf coast brony... this shit isn't fair.

      ReplyDelete
    55. I joined the Mario Kart 7 group, too. We should organize a specific time to all log on! (For those of us who have the game.)

      ReplyDelete
    56. Indeed. There should be a better way of organizing games or something, rather than just randomly showing up. Would also be nice to have a battle group as well.

      ReplyDelete
    57. Gulf Coast Bronies Admin here! Thanks EQ Daily for the BUMP! @SgtGarand - come on over! we'd be glad to have you, we're growing pretty quickly but we still have a small-group feel in terms of how we all communicate with each other and how often we post :D

      ReplyDelete
    58. "Free of clever wordplay or in-jokes."
      Wait, what? Whoever wrote that must think that "free of" and "ripe with" can be used interchangeably.

      ReplyDelete
    59. I have my Excuse, now. since i turned my 8 year old brother into a little brony, I bought him the collectors set, and got a free one for myself. (my parents are still teasing me for shopping at we love fine, i wonder what i'll get now)

    62. Formal dancing is well known in each edge of the World. A few nations are more effectively associated with dancing than others. In certain nations partner dancing is a strength yet you should rest assured to track down a lobby or a dance studio some place.buy youtube views india
