• Nightly Roundup #532


    So how is everyone taking the end of the world? Hopefully your apocalypse was pleasant and you're finding your bunker quite cozy. I myself have been rendered a zombie which is turning out to be pretty cool so far though the smell takes some getting used to.

    But before I head off to find some brains, I need to get to tonight's pony news! Even in our apocalyptic world ponies take priority you know? Check it out after the break!


    New Series - Newsponies Short #1

    A new pony related series has popped up, written by the author of the Vinyl Scratch tapes! Check out the details below for the full skinny.

    Newsponies is a dramedy series about the two largest 24 hour television news stations in Equestria and the nutjobs who work there. Taking place fifteen years after the events of Friendship is Magic, it follows the exploits of Sports Knight, an Earth pony field reporter who takes investigative reporting to the Nth degree, and Sunny Weather, a pegasus news anchor who is very dedicated to her job despite her constant stress and hair-trigger temper, as they deliver the news with their coworkers at ENN (Equestrian News Network) in a constant struggle to surpass their rival network, Solar News.

    It is produced by Midnight Magic Productions (best known for the audio adaptation of The Vinyl Scratch Tapes), created and written by Corey W. Williams (writer of the Vinyl Scratch Tapes) and Great Dinn (voice of Blueblood in the Vinyl Scratch Tapes), featuring an all-star cast of voices, a full team of artists, and original music. The series will be audio with still pictures accompanying the action, much in the style of Rainbow Dash Presents. The first official episode is forthcoming, but this first short is a teaser for things to come.
