  • Scientific Determination of All Ages of the Mane Six


    This image is related because portals are actual science. At least, I hope so. I've invested quite a bit of time under the assumption that they are!

    Way, way back during Nightly Roundup #4, Seth posted an article by a pony from Ponychan wherein the ages for the mane six were figured out. Skaijo wasn't satisfied with the explanation or the results, so himself and another pony friend of his set out to set the record straight with the help of the original author. The result was a comprehensive scientific report, with documented references, of the best estimate we can give for the ages of these marshmallow ponies.

    Or, as he said in the email, the result was, "a very clear, condensed discovery backed by some of the brightness upcoming minds in MLP fandom since Bill Clinton."

    That may sound like fluff to most of you, mostly because that was a joke, but upon opening the document I was actually fairly impressed by how official it looked. This could pass as a scientific paper, it's that good.

    There was an attached PDF, but I don't have a place to host it, so I'll include the linked Google Docs format instead, which you can peruse here.

    If for some reason you don't like Docs, you can also view it on Scribd, here.

    2.) Grand Theft Pony: San Equestrias
    3.) Starry Pony Yeah!

  • Official G4 Comic!



    Another official comic has popped up with more of those vectors they keep using!

    Applejack just looks so naked without a hat. 

    Apparently these were found in the "Sparkle World" magazine in the UK. Thanks to Diamond Dog for the images, and thanks to Scraleos for reminding me to post them!

    Anyway page One and Two are above, and 3/4 can be found below the break.

  • EqDaily Youtube video archive



    Equestria Daily has featured over 1000 videos since its inception. In Seth's own words: "That's crazy!" Crazy awesome! Sifting through them all, trying to find a specific one that slipped the mind during a daily Like/Favorite binge, or just hoping to stumble upon something nifty in the archives can certainly be cumbersome. (I can attest to this.) Why not make like Twilight Sparkle and utilize a little more...organization? Hence, the Equestria Daily Youtube video archive.

  • Happy (Belated) Canada Day!

    Happy Canada Day to all of you Canadian bronies out there! I'm digging DA For art right now, and ran into this from MilesPrower024!

    And yes, I know I'm late.  Sorry! 

    And to everyone at Studio B, hopefully the pony workload isn't too bad for you guys.  Now go celebrate!
  • NES Style Pony RPG : Story of the Blanks

    A pony RPG has popped up on Newgrounds, starring Applebloom as the lead roll.  

    So far it's actually kind of creepy, in a good way.  The creator did a great job considering hes working with NES level graphics. 

    You can find the game here!

    Thanks to Chickenwingz16 For the tip off! 
  • Pony Puzzles

    More merch!

    That looks a bit easy though.  Kids these days... I was doing 600 piece puzzles while still wearing diapers!

    Thanks to Rabid Turtle for the picture!  Apparently it only cost 99 cents! 
  • Equestria Daily Signs Deal With Nascar, Hooved Driver Crashes New Car Immedtiatly

    After hundreds of hours of negotiations, and forcing Nascar officials to watch Friendship is Magic while tied to various pieces of office furniture (We ran out of chairs),  Equestria Daily has finally picked up it's very own stock car.

    Unfortunately, our driver crashed it on the first test drive. She suffered minor injuries, but we were able to talk to her on the way out of the hospital, where she was given a band-aid and a lollipop. She wasn't in a very talkative mood, but she did take the time to say (and I quote) 'This beastly contraption is unworthy of the Great and Powerful Trixie's talent! How do you humans tolerate such garbage?' She then demanded another lollipop.

    We offered to modify the car, but our budget couldn't cover her demands of perfectly measured, full Aniline dyed leather seats and hoof wheel, studded in diamonds and embroidered with a hat and magic wand. 

    We have a new candidate for out next car though!  One of the local mail ponies has volunteered.  Apparently she always wanted to be a professional race car driver, but had trouble successfully communicating it.  Hopefully that turns out better!

    (Also thanks to mintbronycrunch for the car! It's awesome!)

    You can find the video of this machine of PURE SPEED in action after the break. 

    (Also thanks to Phoe for the Trixie section! Whoops!)
    (Also  GT: ABARAMAN for the ponies on the side!)
  • Translucent Keychains Spotted

    Looks like the translucent keychains are finally popping up.  MoonliteX found this while digging around Citiwalk at Universal Studios.  Unfortunately, this was literally the only one they had, and the rainbow dash version was nowhere to be found.

    The store she located it at was called "The Crows Nest".  I really hope that doesn't mean we will have to dig through smaller retailers for one of these!  Out of all of the official FiM toys, this set is on the top of my list.

    Apparently they are distributed by "Big Time Toys", if that helps anyone in the hunt.   

    I will distribute these for you Hasbro! Promise! They are amazing! Let us give you our money.

  • Australian Pony Article

     A few days ago this article popped up in a nightly roundup, but it was too small to read.  It's interesting, since it actually uses some of our logos and stuff.

  • The Movie Brony's 'Monthly Top Ten Pony Videos' Project



    Apparently some of our readers are getting annoyed that I talk about Rarity too much. So instead of Rarity, have some Fluttershy.

    Wait, that's not Fluttershy. Oh well. No time to fix it. Things to post, y'know.

    The Movie Brony has emailed us to let us know about his planned monthly Youtube compilation of the best fan-made pony videos, whether they were posted on the blog or otherwise. He currently has the compilation for June 2011 up and running, so you can see what kind of format the videos will be in. You can find that here. In the description you can find links to all the videos. Obviously, this is just one pony's opinion we're talking about, so take the list with a grain of salt!

    Of course, if you disagree with the list, you can always take it up with him. His Youtube channel is here.

    After the break you can find an embed for the video, if you prefer!

  • Story: Words are Louder (Update Story 2, Parts 2+3!)

    [Normal] I wonder what they will do with Derpy in season 2...  One side of me hopes she will actually become to random speaking mail mare we have all come to know and love, but the other wants her to just stay fanon. Anyway have some more 5 star Derpy!

    Author: Ciroton
    Description: Derpy Hooves goes about her usual day, but with a slight change; she tries to talk to Twilight Sparkle. Will she be able to make friends with the introverted unicorn? Or, will she scare her off with her... unique ways?

  • Pony Science Round 3

    Over on ponychan, a group of bronies have been hard at working trying to scientifically determine the best starting pony episode.  I've hosted their polls before, but this is the final stretch right here. 

    If anything, it's just for fun!  But hey, rewards! I like rewards.  I also like ponies, and people I know outside of the internet liking ponies with me.  It really is always going to be based on who you are showing the episode to.

  • Rainbow Dash Actually Obeys Laws Of Physics For Once


    Today we're taking a break from talking about rainbows in the sky and instead talking about how awesome Rainbow Dash is.

    She's not as awesome as Rarity, but she comes pretty close sometimes. It's not her fault, really. It's tough to come close to perfection. It's like coming close to the speed of light- the closer you get, the harder it gets to actually reach that plateau of pristine pony perfection. Although, supposedly the way that warp drives work is by squeezing the space time in front and behind the ship with a projected field of some kind so that you never have to deal with the relativistic effects and energy consequences of approaching the speed of light. It's called the Alcubierre drive. Look it up.

    Anyway, so, in an episode whose name I can't remember just from the above picture, Rainbow Dash flew through some clouds, making some nice holes. At first I think we all assumed it was cartoon physics and left it at that. However, supposedly this can actually occur if the object is moving fast enough through said cloud, as soon above.

    I don't have an article to go along with the post this time, but, it's hard to argue with those kinds of results.
