Story: First Pony View (Update Part 15-16!)

[Adventure]
Author: Suomibrony

Description:  Have you ever had a dream that just seemed so real, that it was impossible to say for certain that it was even a dream at all? A dream that, despite all of its impossibilities, seemed to re-write your entire perception of reality, re-writing your sense of what—and indeed, who—you are? Accepting change is hard enough as it is. But when you're a somebody who wakes up as a somepony, how do you cope with the impact such a drastic change has on your mind and body? With changes like these, it must surely just be a lucid dream—albeit a suspiciously accurate one—just brimming with potential and ripe for exploration. So you might as well suck it up and make the most of these distressingly…unusual circumstances, and seize this psychological adventure before you wake up and the dream ends.

After all, this couldn't possibly be real, so the dream must come to an end eventually…right?

Erin Bro-nett Responds to Swarm of OC Art!

Aww, we actually made a friend in mainstream media!  I never thought I'd see the day!

For those that don't know what exactly this is for, a few days ago CNN's Out Front blog did a short report on ponies and Bronycon.  Included in the report was a recolored Rarity OC pony for the show's anchor, Erin Bro-nett.  As is the norm for the art community, everyone had to take a crack at her. 

Check out the thank you message here!

Story: Smiling Flowers (Update Complete!)

[Normal-Slice of Life][Semi-Sad]

Author: TheBrianJ

Description: A Cutie Mark is meant to represent the personality and special talent of each pony that has one. Cheerilee's flowers symbolize her desire to help her students bloom, and the smiles represent the cheer that she hopes to bring to their lives.

At least...that's what she tells everypony who asks.

Story Updates July 9th (Evening)

Story updates just keep filing in! How do you guys even keep up with all of this?

Equestria Inquirer Interviews: Amy Keating Rogers

We have another one from way back at that bronycon convention.   Equestria Inquirer interviews Amy Keating Rogers straight from the actual convention center.

You should probably go watch it yourselves though! Check it out after the break! 

Music Remix: Bubble Berry's Orphanage / Brew ~The Prequel~ / Lunas stories

 Pinkie Pie is taking over the world in this remix post.  We have Two Friendship is Witchcraft, plus a good old fashioned Giggle at the Ghostie.  Check them out below!

2.) MC Flowny - Brew ~The Prequel~
3.) Lunas stories

More German CD's and DVD's

A while back, we announced a few German CD's with the episodes on them, as well as a few DVD's.  It looks like the next wave is  are listed on Amazon.de. 

Ace freelance reporter Whatshisgame has once again compiled a list for us (along with images and links, I should probably just have him post these!) of probable content from all sorts of crazy digging in the brand licensing area. 

• CDs:
  • Angeber-Trixie:
    • “Griffon the Brush Off”
    • “Boast Busters”
  • Die Pyjama-Party:
    • “Dragonshy”
    • “Look Before You Sleep”
• DVDs:
  • Die Pyjama-Party:
    • “Dragonshy”
    • “Look Before You Sleep”
    • “Bridle Gossip”
  • Etwas ganz Besonderes:
    • “Swarm of the Century”
    • “Winter Wrap Up”
    • “Call of the Cutie”

I looks like a release date of August 10th is expected, so German Trixie's Dazzling performance will just have to wait another month before seeing the light of day!

Monopoly Hotels Adding Ponies?

Over on the Monopoly Hotels facebook page (an iOS game for those that aren't sure), it looks like some form of pony content is on the way.  This is a teaser image they tossed up with the quote:

We have some really exiting content coming out next week! Based on this picture, what do you think it is?

They haven't dropped anything else yet, we can't be sure what exactly is planned.  Hell, it could just be a closeup image of a pink and yellow amoeba.  I've seen some weird ones. 

What do you guys think it is?  Maybe we will see an Equestria edition with various pony buildings for sale to play with?

Thanks to Diego for the heads up! 

Discussion: Hang With a Pony For a Month, Then Implode

Trixie has once again summoned you to Equestria, because why not? She's great and powerful, she can do anything she damn well pleases.

Unfortunately, something screwed up the spell (Trixie is 100% sure the shopkeeper mixed up the crushed ginseng with mandrake root, woops), and you have a month to live.  Because she can't have you running around Equestria unattended, you are being assigned the pony of your choice to hang with.   You will have one month to do anything you damn well please with them before a micro black hole rips you apart atom by atom in the blink of an eye (Trixie assures you that you won't feel a thing).  Might as well make the best of it right?

Choose a pony.  It can be a mane cast pony,  a background pony, or even a statue of a pony. Hell, Trixie is throwing the original Fallout Equestria cast (In colorful Equestria, not wasteland) and Nyx into the mix for all you fanfic fiends too!

Choose what you want to do with said pony for a month.  Maybe hang with Twilight and read books? Create a makeshift hanglider and fly around with Dash?  Serve Trixie's every need as a stagehand with absolutely no pay or benefits? It's up to you!

The spell is irreversible, so choose wisely!

(Thanks to the caller during the EQD/Bronyville Livestream for the idea!)

Blind Bag Wave 3 Hitting Shelves - Identifier Chart Released

Someone going by the name of Ben sent this over a few days ago, and I completely spaced thinking we already posted it.  After the break, you will find all of the ponies and their respective serial numbers, taking the blind out of bagged ponies!

Fighting is Magic Bite Sized Update #6 - Packin on the Shiny!

Considering the livestream the other day literally sat above the 1000 mark for the entire duration (3:30 PM to past midnight - insane) , I'm pretty sure you guys share my excitement for this game

We have seen all sorts of technical details listed out over the past few weeks, but one thing video games do well is pile on the shiny!  This week's Fighting is Magic Bite Sized Update details the various character icons and GUI tweaks that give the game a sort of "flair" we have come to expect from the current generation of... everything.   It's something most of you probably take for granted! That extra bit of polish goes a long way.

Anyway, check out their article here!
