Text Book Store Contest - Win a Foxy Pinkie Pie?

Apparently this is a contest that ended on the 15th at bookstore Alibris was giving away a free... foxy my little pony.   I am not sure if I should be scared or amazed, but I do admit, Pinkie Pie can look pretty good when she tries! For a pony.

Hopefully we can all find our own foxy little ponies in contests elsewhere! 

Thanks to Matt for the image.

This Week In Geek Looking For Call-Ins For New Pony Segment

Hey, guys! Wanna hear more of my voice? I sure don't, but if you do, a radio show called This Week In Geek is debuting a new segment called Last Exit To Ponyville, which is slated to be a more general, high-level community news update spot. I just got finished recording the first segment not a few minutes ago with the host, and I think you guys are gonna like it.

I was talking to my Rarity plush this morning, and she said I might need therapy. In response, I have curtailed the amount of Rarity in this wallpaper header. I think I'm making progress.

Tumblr Spotlight: Ask Spirit and Ask MageDash

It's not often that we go about featuring content starring an OC, but when the story features a cute, likeable pony with an interesting background it would be wrong not to! Spirit was once a Wonderbolt, but due to an accident she has lost a wing and her ability to fly. Undaunted by her handicap, she is determined to fly once again, living up to her name in the process. Short, cute, and silly, it's certainly worth a look!

EQD Has a Minecraft Server Now!

Yep! One of our friends on Steam (who runs the Lunar Republic TF2 EQD server) has graciously set us up a Minecraft server, complete with locations from the show! I recorded a quick video showing off the server's basic features, which you can find after the break.

The server is here: mc.simplybrony.org:12787

A note about my video: I have the pony mod installed, which is the only way that you're going to see ponies in the game. Google for the mod, or you'll get only humans. And that's no fun.

Check the break for the video!

Rainbow Dash Plugs at Hot Topic

I have to admit, things are getting pretty crazy in the pony accessory department! Not only can you deck yourself out in pony tattoos, but your ears can be modified as well!  Hot topic has added Rainbow Dash plugs to their listing of pony merch.    I can't tell what size they are, so hopefully you guys aren't afraid of stretching your ears too far!

Check them out here!

Thanks to Ginger Snap for the heads up!

Description: "Oh come on, Applejack! Just one trip around the clouds! One!"

It's an invitation that Applejack has heard countless times. However, no matter how often Rainbow Dash bugs her to experience an air ride, the farm filly flat out refuses.

Then one afternoon, on a day when Applejack is strangely quiet and distant, she suddenly agrees to Rainbow Dash's persistent request. The pegasus happily oblidges, not knowing what has truly motivated Applejack to give in, nor the fact that--more than anything--Applejack could really use a good friend right about now.

You may have heard of Gravity falls at some point in your internet history.  It's yet another piece of proof that the 21st century is awesome for cartoons.  One thing that the show does really well is the ridiculously catchy intro, and now it is ponified.  This isn't just a PMV ponification though!
