Story: Spurred Into Action (Update Part 3!)

[Crossover] [Grimdark]

Author: Gnir

Description: A bitter, mentally unstable buffalo shaman tears the barrier between a dark dimension known as the Hunting Grounds and Equestria, setting into motion an atmosphere of fear and suspicion across the land. Can a ragtag band of heroes and neigh-er-do-wells stop the ominous "Reckoning" from happening, or will the evil spirits from the Hunting Grounds lay waste to Equestria?

Discord/Season Two Early PMV's and Other Ridiculousness

So I heard you guys like Discord?!

A bunch of people have already created videos based around him, everything from Star Trek crossovers to dance remixes.   This is a compilation of them.  I didn't really assign the normal PMV quality control, but I think most of it has it's own merits.   Check them all out after the break!

Bad Mane Days: A Guide to Pony Hair Styling

So you’ve finally caved. You went to the store and bought yourself a plastic pony in celebration of the first episode of season two. Or maybe you’ve had your collection for a while, and you’ve just let that hair go because you’re not sure what to do with it.


I’m here to fix that.

The above is a quote from the author. I couldn't have said it better myself. You can find this in-depth guide by Scaradango, complete with picture references, on his DeviantArt here.

On another note, I don't care how many man cards I just turned in for this post.

Drawfriend Stuff #188

DISCORD Edition. Or "a few random discord images" edition, because I suck and accidently deleted the Discord folder on my desktop for the actual Discord edition during my nightly cleanup. 

How Discordy.

Have some art!

Pony Article from The Oregonian

1

That dude has WAY TOO MUCH PONY.  I didn't know those pillows were so small.

This is an article from "The Oregonian" in, you guessed it, Oregon.  It's actually really positive for the most part, which is surprising considering how often we get ripped apart by the media.   They interviewed a whole bunch of people, but I'll let you read it for that information.

Thanks to Nathan for the scans.

Remastered Theme Coming With Episode Three

Looks like we get to wait a bit on the remastered opening that Daniel Ingram talked about a few months back.  I'm definitely looking forward to it! Hopefully they give us the full theme some time in the future too!

Evolution of a Scene #6

More insider FiM creation stuff has been released from Jinratgiest over on Youtube. If this isn't your thing, I'd highly suggest watching it anyway just for the end. Check it out after the break!

Poor earth ponies... Hopefully season two reveals some crazy hidden talent of theirs. 

Maybe Twilight's SCIENCE can reveal something?

Season 2 Episode 1: The Return of Harmony Discussion/Stream/Download 720p is UP!

For those that weren't around during Season one on EQD, here is how new episodes usually work.  Each episode gets it's own primary post that updates throughout the day as new streams/downloads file in.

Spoilers in the comment section will probably be pretty common, so for those that haven't seen the episode yet, it is suggested that you do NOT scroll down to them.

Come join us in Ponychat too! 

Nightly Roundup #100

We made it! After a grueling couple of months filled with WAY TOO MUCH fanfiction, we have finally reached the second season of Friendship is Magic. On top of that, our fandom has almost quadrupled in size if EQD's stats are any indication.

Great job everyone! Now onward to season two and BEYOND!

Combined Season One Viewcount

Scout has thrown together this chart of season one pony episodes and the number of YouTube views from all the major channels combined.  Obviously not everyone watches the YouTube versions, but it's still a pretty impressive number!

You can find the docs version here.

Comic: Gift

So, ordinarily when we get a single comic, we'd toss it up with something random or maybe thematically tied to it if both artists are lucky. I'd tell you what's going on, you'd laugh a little bit and move on. But this came to us with a big, fat "Part 1" sticker on the cover (see it up there?). So I'm just going to leave this here and wait for it to grow into a gigantic multiparter.

Do you hear that, KrekkA01? I'm counting on you! Deliver me more filly Lyra and Bon Bon in beautiful cinematic tones, or so help me you'll never see another golden banana sticker for as long as you live. And yes, I can be that cruel.
