Happy New Years you guys! Hope you all had a wonderful January 1st and that you're all ready for a brand new year of pony as we head into 2013. Speaking of which, we've got a small bit of news for you all today, so dive right in for another edition of the Roundup!

"Hot In Cleveland" Brony Episode Coming Up

It looks like we might be hitting TV land again in a bit here with a show called Hot in Cleveland running what appears to be a brony focused episode titled "Elevator and Bronies".   A promo is up to show it off over in their video section.   How it will turn out in the end is anyone's guess at this point!

Thanks to Vincent and Rebecca for the heads up!

Super Smash Ponies: Twilight Sparkle

I don't know about you guys, but I love me some Smash Brothers.  When the desktop pony model version popped up a while back, I was interested, now I'm excited.  It looks like all the standard simple button combos are here, from special abilities to final smashes.  It's looking good for how little time they have been at it! 

Head on down past the break for the Twilight Sparkle trailer.

Story: Eclipse (Update Part 6!)

[Sci-Fi] A story which makes every human ponder what perceptions they would bring with them in the face of something new. Pre-Reader #13

Author: IncoherentOrange

Description: A human colony ship bearing over seven thousand people ventures to a distant corner of the cosmos to colonize a planet found to be supportive of life. Prepared for most any scenario, Eclipse and their crew set out to prove that landing on distant worlds filled with life was no longer just a pipe dream.

What happens when this ship's crew arrives at their destination would forever change humanity's outlook on the rest of the universe, as well as what could be deemed possible.

Boarders and Directors for Episodes 8-11 of Season 3

Over on Deviant Art,  storyboard artist Raven has released some of the behind the scenes information on who worked on each episode, including two of them that haven't yet aired. Have a list:

#309: "Apple Family Reunion"     ...directed by Jayson Theissen ...boarded by Sabrina Alberghetti & Dave Weibe

#310: "Spike at Your Service"     ...directed by James Wootton  ...boarded by Mike West & Emmett Hall

#311: "Keep Calm and Flutter On"  ...directed by Jayson Theissen  ...boarded by Lih Liau & Marshall Fels Elliot

#308: "Just For Sidekicks"   ...directed by  James Wootton ... boarded by Raven Molisee & Jocelyn Theissen

One of the key additions to this is a confirmation on the missing episode #8.  Apparently "Just for Sidekicks" was shifted around.  (You can all stop telling me to fix the episode list up top now!). We have just two mystery episodes remaining in the season, both of which have been confirmed to not be a multi-parter finale.  Maybe you Rarity fans will get your seasonal episode?  Who knows!

Thanks to Jack for the heads up. 

Random Media: Don't Need You... / Siblings / Sᴇᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ

We have a normal PMV, a half PMV half YTPMV, and some Spike/Applejack stuff, because Rarity is old news after that whole lifesaving thing. Find them all below!

1.) Don't Need You...
2.) PMV - Siblings
3.) PMV - Aᴘᴘʟᴇᴘɪᴋᴇ // Sᴇᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ

Comic: Twilight's Mother Visits / Explosive Countdown / Together we can Raze This Barn

We have a two-parter of Twilight's mom being embarassing, followed by some simple New Years stuff, and finish with something that probably isn't even considered a comic, but it does make a pretty good point... that barn is destroyed a LOT.
