Music: Becoming Popular Cover (zahqo's Rendition) / Winter Wrap Up Trance Remix / We Wish You a Pony Christmas

More Becoming Popular! It's awesome though, so you should probably listen to it, just sayin.

We also have some of the best voice tuning ever, and I totally didn't just jack that line from the pre-listeners, it really is impressive.

And finishing off with some Eurobeat Christmas music.

Submissions are closed!

I'll toss the collection up tomorrow, this post will take a while.

Ask Blog Collection! (CLOSED)

There are a ton of Ask pony blogs out there, and every once in a while they trickle in to EQD asking for a plug.  It's time to create a compilation!

If you run one, send an email to [email protected] with ASK BLOG in the subject line.  Include the following:

• Title of the Ask Blog
• Your best piece of art so far
• The link to your Ask Blog

Note: Only owners may send their blog to us!

Note 2: No Porn or Gore (Same EQD rules as always!)

Note 3: You don't own Ask Princess Molestia, stop sending it! :p 

Note 4: Due to the massive influx of ask blogs, I probably won't reply to all of them! 

Note 5: Due to the 20 blogs in 40 minutes thing, I might make this monthly instead! 

You have until 50 are submitted

Submissions closed! I'm doing it again next month though.

The compilation post will go up later that day in drawfriend style format.  Make sure you pick the image you think will attract visitors!

Music: Dedede Invades Equestria / Rarity is Evil! / Tree of memories

I never really listened to much of chiptune stuff before pony. It sure did grow on me quickly though!

We also have some EVIL RARITY from Dr. Dissonance, and a song that is guaranteed to make your eyes droop and speech slow to 1/3rd it's normal rate.  Make sure you grab some headphones though.

Phoenix Wright / My Little Pony: Turnabout Storm Part 2!

The second episode of Turnabout Storm has been released! For those that haven't watched the first one at all, be sure to check it out before diving into this one.  It's definitely worth a watch if you have any love at all for the Phoenix Wright series. 

Find it after the break! It does have a 720p version, so I'd suggest just watching it directly.

Someone over on MLP Arena recently took a short tour of the Italian Hasbro office.  It has your typical toys and giant pony vectors, along with a flat panel, because those are awesome.  The really interesting part is at the end of his post though. Have a quote:
