Game: Ponysweeper

Continuing on with the list of things that need to be ponified before the fandom explodes, we have Ponysweeper! Lose hours of time digging away at patches of dirt and hoping you don't pluck up a changeling.   Now we just need a tablet version.

Hit it up over here.

Story: Late Bloomer

[Comedy][Shipping] "Like a fine, peaty Scotch—aged for eighteen years in a charred oak cask, poured, tasted, and thrown in your face—this story is redolent with snark and subversion."–Pre-reader Bradel

Author: Vimbert the Unimpressive

Description: In an Equestria where it is more than okay to be gay, Roseluck finds herself without a special somepony of her own. However, change in the form of an earnest, yet odd, quills and sofas salespony is on the way. The only problem is this: he's a stallion. And Roseluck's no filthy breeder, is she?

A commission for T_K_21.

Plushie Compilation #124

We need to clone these alicorn plushies. That thing would make an awesome centerpiece.

We have 46 plushies this time around, which technically beat the Drawfriend post earlier.  Ridiculous! Get them below.

Poll Results - Which Show on The Hub Should MLP Crossover With?

I didn't realize until way late that I forgot to add "other" to this one.  Maybe I'll run it again way off in the future.  It looks like Dan Vs. kind of dominated.  I think that may be thanks to Fluffle Puff once again!

Next poll:  A male alicorn is announced for season 4! How do you react?

Random Merch: Clip on Tail, Pillows, Giant Socks and More!

I remmeber another fandom where those things were popular.  You better have pony ears and dash clothes to go with it.

We have a load of new random merch this time around, starting with the two above found here and here at Entertainment earth.  Head on down below the break for more stuff! 

Traditional Animation: Fluttershy's Surpise in a Watering Can / Rarity's Autumn Collection

Here is something we see almost none of these days with computers dominating the animation scene.  A user on Youtube going by the name of Katie Unicorn has released two hand drawn, flipbook style animations, one starring Fluttershy, the other Rarity.  Go check them out below the break!

Filly School Collection at Target

We have posted singles of all of these for months now from sites like Taobao. It looks like they finally have an actual home in this set of fillies and Cheerilee available at Target. If you want it, go grab it here. Thanks to Fizzle for the heads up.

7 Pages Revealed of MLP #10

We had a few pages from this one already, but Comics Alliance has expanded that to a whopping 7 total. If you can't bring yourself to wait, head on over here to check them out.

Thanks to Masem for the heads up.

BronyCAN Last Minute Announcements

BronyCAN is happening pretty soon here, and with happenings comes press releases! Head on down below the break for information about last minute registration, along with loads of other things. 

Horse Game - Alpha Build

This game video has to have the most satisfying clipclop of hooves I've seen yet.  Let that be a lesson to any of you major game companies that plan on making something pony related in the future, please make the clipclop work.

We have what looks to be shaping up to be an awesome new project going by the name of "Horse Game".  The video shows off what is capable of better than I could.  Head on down below the break to check it out! And if you want to keep up to date on it, hit up the website. 

Nightly Roundup #747

Like I could resist heading a roundup with kitty Rainbow Dash.  Calpain will take your header suggestions when he gets back!

Onward to roundup stuff. 

Newbie Artist Training Grounds III - Day 8

Well, we've all been there, Dash. No worries! Just get some rest and try again later. Which, really, is one of the nicer things about Rainbow Dash. Even though she's often stretching herself too hard and crashing against her limits, she always pops back up again and keeps working to be better at what she loves. And... y'know. Also she naps a lot. Doesn't that sound awesome? Well, it does to me. You know what else sounds awesome, best transition ever? A gallery full of 421 sleepy and/or untrustworthy equines! And a not insignificant number who went the grammatically correct path and laid down something other than themselves. Good work! That brings our grand total to 3681 images. Climbing ever higher! Where will we wind up? That's for you to decide!

You know, there's a style guide for writing which states that exclamation marks (otherwise known as bangs!) shouldn't be used if at all possible, and enthusiasm or whatever else should be implied by the context of the sentence. But you know what? You guys are worth all of my excess punctuation. You're just that awesome! Let that be your daily reminder, and let this be your reminder that my door remains open at phoe@equestriadaily.com if you have any questions or need something I can help you with.

Gallery time! I know you're all tired by now. Believe me, I sympathize (of course, I'm always tired). But keep at it! You're doing incredibly well! Even if it doesn't feel like it, quite a few of you are already making some notable steps forward in your quality of composition, your proportions, and your line work. Others are finding ways to add more ambitious elements within the time frame, and you're performing just fantastically so far. But for right this moment, let's rest for a while.

All right, nap time's over! I hope you're feeling fit and ready to have some fun! With a week's worth of notches on our belts it's time to open the gates and start really getting playful with our themes. And so for today, what could be better than this? Draw a pony playing a game/Draw a pony winning! Let's see your favorite games, be they board, card, or video! Get out there and have fun! Submit your entries here by 11:59 PM, Pacific time on Friday, August 23. The Wheel of Fate is turning! Rebel 1! Action!
