7 Days...

She's real. I didn't want to believe it, but she's real. The Pink One hides among us. Watching. Waiting. Giggling.

There is a... a video. Watch the -- no! Don't watch it. Never watch the video. If you watch it, She comes. She comes and she takes you away. And once she lets you go, it's not the same. The world outside my window is so gray now. I can't believe I didn't notice it before. So lifeless and dull. The sound summer wind rustling through the leaves and the grass is a soulless, hollow noise. The branches sway, not in dance but in horrid, mechanical mockery. Even the sun is blotted out behind a sky of endless, dreary clouds. None of it compares to the vibrancy of Her streamers. None of it. Maybe... maybe if I share it, She would let me come back. That would be... nice.

Twitch. Twitcha twitch. Parties forever. FOREVER...

New York Bronycon Writeup #2, and Huge News for September!

I know some of you don't like meetup posts, so if you read nothing else just know that Jayson Thiessen himself will be attending the September meetup.  That is amazing.

A Full writeup of the last one can be found after the break, courtesy of Purple Tinker.

PMV: Super Ponybeat - WWU / AWAKEN! The Lunar Princess / Bohemian Rhapony

It's about time someone synched the Super Ponybeat Winter Wrap Up song with the actual video.

Usually I don't take slideshow style stuff, but #2 sort of breaks the mold with some awesome custom graphics, and the fact that every single luna image was cut out for a really interesting effect.

Zecora Papercraft

Kna has released another papercraft pony!   Poor Zecora just doesn't get nearly enough attention. 

You can find the pattern for it here!

Super Smash Brothers Brawl Pony Mod

For those of you with modded Nintendo Wii's,  a new mod is in progress for Super Smash Brothers Brawl.  So far it looks like the intro has been replaced, and a new Cloudsdale custom stage has been added.

Hopefully we will see some pony models in the future.  I'm pretty sure Twilight Sparkle would be the greatest brawl character ever.

You can find the video demonstration and download link after the break!

Pony Drinking Game

Fionori has released an MLP Drinking game list for those of you who want a little bit of extra kick from your 30th re-watch of Sonic Rainboom.  

You might want to limit yourself to two episodes with this list. I don't want anyone dying!

Have a recipe.

Story: The Fate of Gods

[Sad]

Author: Moonlit Harmony

Evolution of a scene #3!

Another "evolution of a scene" video has been released! This one primarily focuses on Granny smith of all ponies.  It's actually pretty informative for those of us who have never been exposed to the way cartoons are created.

You can find it embedded after the break as always!

Er, now it's there! 

PMV: Pinkie Always Smilin / Pinkie Killer / Don't Stop the Ponies

Pinkie Pie PMV's!  I'm pretty she is the only hyper ridiculous cartoon character I have ever liked. 

1.) Pinkie Always Smilin
2.) "Pinkie Killer" PMV
3.) Don't Stop the Ponies

Game: My Little Investigations

This looks..amazing.  I loved the Phoenix Wright games, but I'll be honest, I did get sort of bored of the characters. 

I don't think it's POSSIBLE for me to get bored of these ponies though!  This is exciting! 

The creator has set up a blog to update everyone on progress for the game.  If you are interested, check it out here!

Also a video after the break!

Comic Con 2011

So, your stuck at home instead of having a blast at  Comic Con?  Are you dying to be there with Giant Pinkie Pie and the bad-ass pony posters? 

Well so am I! Sucks don't it?

How about the next best thing then?  I've received a bunch of images and even a video of the Tara Strong Interview from various people over the last few days!  You can find it all after the break!

Thanks to everyone who sent this stuff in!  And everyone who offered me posters :p If I get any extras, they should make awesome event prizes!

Season 1 Backwards PMV's

Yep! I got two of these yesterday.  Compilation time!

1.) Best of MLP FiM - Backwards!
2.) Return to Ponyville

That first one is actually really freakin cool.  Pony gibberish sounds like it would work as an actual language.

Nightly Roundup #45

Is Twilight controlling stars in this image?  Best pony ever! 

Anyway, news time!

 [Normal][Grimdark][Sad]

Story: Five Minutes

[Comedy][Random][Shipping] The pre-readers wanted a cool quote to go with it, but couldn't think of anything worthy, so I grabbed a pony:

"It's...um...nice..." -Fluttershy

There you have it!

Story: Scootaloo's Dream

[HappySad][Normal] No, that's not a new tag, but it does fit I guess!

Author: Captain Waffle

Description: It's been ten years since the second ever Sonic Rainboom. Now Scootaloo stands in the place it happened, ready to preform in front of a crowd of super critical sports fan ponies, and the pony she looks up to the most.

Scootaloo's Dream

Additional Tags: Scootaloo, Competition, Best Young Flier, Sonic Rainboom, Wonderbolts

Balloon Round 2!

Sadly, Al Capony was just a theory.  Now that people have actually aquired the posters, they are being tossed around in super high resolution (This baloon is only about an inch on the actual poster, so it's the best we got!)

Hell Al Capony might still be possible, but that sure as hell isn't an alligator.  This is a 4600DPI scan with a whole bunch of small modifications to sharpen it.

It could just be two nonsense background ponies in goggles and a hat, or it would actually be some season 2 characters. 

What do you guys think?  The actual image is MASSIVE btw, so be sure to open it to check if you want to theorize on it! 

Story: The Black Gate

[Normal][Adventure]

Author: Incorporatedstates

Description: A horrific but familiar darkness descends upon Equestria after thousands of years of dormancy. As it swallows Equestria whole and transforms its ponies into beings far more sinister, a group of two ponies must face the unknown together if the Equestria they know is to be saved. Some ponies will rise to this new challenge with them, but far more will fall sway to the encroaching darkness. What the ponies will discover, however, is that the power of friendship alone may not be enough.
