EQD Q&Neigh Announcement and Bronyville Episode 56

We have been running with Pre-reader Q&Neighs for a while now, and some of you have requested that we get the old admin ones going again.  Bronyville has agreed to help us with that! Using their years of podcasting experience, they hope to reshape them into something much more entertaining for all of you.  From now on, they will be both monthly, and broadcasted over a livestream channel for everyone to bug us on.

And what do we need from you? Questions! Drop some in the comments below.  I know you guys have some, I have to clear our 50+ a day at my personal email after all!   Ask anything, be it pony/episode related or EQD/Blog related.  You can target any of the blogponies, be it Cereal, Phoe, Calpain, or whoever else you can think of!

Bronyville also has episode 56 out for you all to chew on.  Information on that, as well as the Q&Neigh, can be found after the break!

Vocal Music: Applebloom's Song / The Morning After / Nightfall (Full Album)

Acoustic Appelblooms, Disney style songs, and in the final slot, we have an extended version of the already ridiculously long Nightfall song. Yeah, that is an hour of music.

1.) Applebloom's Song (War on the Radio)
2.) The Morning After
3.) "Nightfall (Full Album)" - HeyLasFas

Story Updates May 31st (Evening)

Celestia needs more canon lore.  I'm hoping for an episode dedicated to her and Luna in season 3 personally.

Have some story updates!

Lyra and Trixie Also Available on Toywiz

It looks like Toywiz has a few more of our August focus ponies up for pre-order.  Lyra and Trixie can both be found with a release date of July.  Each comes with a copy of Lesson Zero (Aka the best episode), as well as your normal pony accessories.

There are still no signs of Zecora or the planned Nightmare Moon bundle, but at least you can pick these two up soon!

Check out the store pages below:

Lyra 
Trixie

(Note: The links were giving me some trouble, hopefully it's just my router being ridiculous.  They can both be found using the toywiz search as well.)

Humble Brony Bundle - Time to Take Over Again!

It looks like a brand new Humble Indie Bundle was released today, and this time around they are going all out on the titles.  All of them are critically acclaimed, amazing games, that you guys probably should go buy and play right now.   Hell, Amnesia even has a pony mod. 

As is the norm for these, the Humble Indie Bundle project is once again in full swing.  We need to top the charts, and the only way to do it is to donate!

Have some information on it after the break from Cupcakes Nom on how you can help out this time around!

YTPMV: Pony Land II - Credits / Scorching Cadence / A Canterlot Fanfic

That first one definitely brings back some nostalgia from those good old ending credit rolls. What ever happened to having more than just boring words scrolling past the screen? Video game companies used to care!

Have some YTPMV's

1.) Pony Land II - Credits
2.) Scorching Cadence
3.) A Canterlot Fanfic

Music Remix: Winter Screw Up / BBBFF - Remix (JoindTheHerd) / Friendship is Magic (Brex's Remix)

Winter Wrap Up? Been a while since we saw anything relating to that one.  I don't know if that one can be specifically called a remix considering most of the vocals are custom, but it's still following the Winter Wrap Up beat. 

We also have another BBBFF and a general Friendship is Magic track.  Find them below!

1.) Winter Screw Up
2.) BBBFF - Remix (JoindTheHerd)
3.) Friendship is Magic (Brex's Remix)

PMV: Dash's Determination / Can't You See (Let It Be)

At first, I thought the first one was just another Rainbow Dash flying around PMV, but it actually gets really cool, and has some pretty slick editing!

1.) Dash's Determination
2.) [PMV] Can't You See (Let It Be)

Blind Bag Wave 4 Now Available in Europe

It looks like the wave 4 blingbags that went up for pre-order a while back in Europe are starting to pop up in actual brick and mortar.  The one pictured above was found specifically in Belgium at a store called Bart Smit.  This is the set that first introduced Trixie as Lulamoon, Caramel as "Chance a Lot" and Colgate as Minuette. 

And as a reminder, you can find a full identification chart for all of them here! 

Now go grab some blindbags! Thanks to Nyerguds for the heads up.

Comic: Best Night Ever?

Good morning East Coasters and people that are awake way too early on the West coast!  It looks like Soarin spent the night at Rainbow Dash's house last night. Click the image to find out what happened!
