Nightly Roundup #663

I've been asked for a non-sad and non-murderous Pinkamena for awhile now and there is nothing more opposite to murderous and sad than the Pinkamena from the Ask Young Pinkamena tumblr. If you have seriously not seen it yet you're doing yourself a disservice. Go!

Anyhow, time for the news! Check after the break.

Story: Forever Young

[Sad] "This is an excellent example of how to write sad properly. Many focus on the loss and bereavement, but you must also see the good times that came before for the loss to have meaning." -- Pre-reader CouchCrusader

Description: Nopony ever said the friendship between Fluttershy and Discord would be an easy one. The difference in their life expectancies doesn’t help, but that’s a problem Discord can fix with a snap of the talons—that is, until Fluttershy finds out. Discord isn’t one to give up easily, though. He’ll do anything to keep his one and only friend. Anything.

Game: Ponycraft - Tainted Skies

The long awaited Ponycraft: Tainted Skies game has release a short demo/showoff piece of what is to come.  Twilight Sparkle is decked out with three abilities, your job is to run around rescuing four Derpy ponies.

Head on over to their download page for information on getting it  installed. Below the break, you will find a full press release on everything as well if you want a bit more on how you can follow the project. 

Spotlight Music: Discord's Return / SoGreatAndPowerful - PinkiePieSwear [Voodoopony Live Edit] / Friends

We start this one off with a jazzy rock acoustic song focused on Discord. They even tossed some Pan Flute in there (or at least I was asked to point that out!)

Slot two is taken over by a SoGreatandPowerful / PinkiePieSwear edit from Voodoopony. I'm not even sure what to compare it to, but can any of these three be categorized?

And in the last slot, we have a bit of vocal stuff dedicated to Twilight and her friends. The guy singing it is actually french, so the accent might throw you off a bit at the beginning, but it's not bad once you get used to it!

Check them all out below.

3.) MLP FIM - Friends

Applejack Cutout and Last Chance for Voting

The Hub has released their 4th cutout, this time dedicated to Applejack.  They even included a moustache. 

And in other news, this is the last weekend to vote on the fan picked pony cutout.  I'm going to assume Luna is dominating, butguys should totally surprise Trixie with a victory, just sayin~

Go vote and download applejack here!

Drawfriend Stuff #807

In accordance with EQD's new Applejack awareness policy, we are requiring at least one post a day to be headed with the pony.  I blame you all for this.

Onward to art!

Discussion: Which Male Pony Do You Want to See In a Solo Episode?

It's no secret, male ponies are under-represented in FiM!  Some of us prefer it that way, but I know a bunch of you have wanted a stallion episode since the early days. 

So lets get another one of those hypothetical situations going, and drop an episode focued entirely around a male pony.  Which one do you want to see? And what kind of episode would it be? Drop your pony and ideas in the comments!

Simple PMV #27

Story: For the Craft

[Dark] I think that's the first time we have ever had a bloody music note as a header...

Author: Compendium of Steve

Description: A lot is required to maintain one's musical finesse. Regular practice, unerring dedication, and an ongoing appreciation of one's craft go into the advancement of every artist's talent. In the case of Frederic Horseshoepin, it takes something more.
