Nightly Roundup #833

Applejack was the pony in most demand last night so here she is! Baby ponies can be really cute, can't they?

Anyhow, I probably won't be around tomorrow as I'm driving home for Thanksgiving so I'll catch all you guys later after being stuffed with turkey and other yummy things. Hope you all have a good Thanksgiving and please make sure to travel safe.

Simple PMV Compilation #54

We have five more simple PMV's this time around.  It might be time to start running episode based PMV posts again.  Still need to decide on that! Get these below.

New Blindbag Set at Hot Topic - Wave 9

Blindbag pony sets have become somewhat convoluted as of late with the addition of the collectors series.  It looks like there still is a new one poking its head up at Hot Topic locations around the USA.  As for a list of ponies, Strawberry Reef has a good amount of them (also below).  Happy hunting!

And thanks to Robert for the top image.

Story Updates - November 26th

Discussion: Which Background Pony Do You Want to See Expanded in Season 4?

A few days ago, Meghan McCarthy ran a Twitter takeover on The Hub's page.  One of the big reveals I keep seeing pop up everywhere was the note up above.  One of our fanon ponies is about to get a whole bunch of love.

A lot of people are assuming Vinyl Scratch, while others are guessing at a giant Doctor filled conspiracy.  With the added clause of a pony being "named" though, it does sort of throw a wrench in the idea.  A good majority of our fan favorites have been labeled via the merchandise that has released over the last two years.  Of course, this doesn't immediately seal their show name canon fate, but it's something to consider.

So, who do you think it will be? Who do you want it to be? Remember, background and fan favorite covers hundreds of characters at this point.  The possibilities are pretty much endless.

Season 4 Episode 5 - Flight to the Finish Expanded Synopsis

This one has one of those nonspoilery titles, so lets keep that.  We have another press release heavily detailing a new episode.  Head on down below the break to check it out! 

Which What Happened on Twitter? Applejack at Applebee's!

Hello folks!

A restaurant claims brony allegiance! Their YouTube video involves some amazing things and a harmonica. You'll just have to see it for yourself after the jump.

Derpy Probably on the Way in Season 4!

Glorious McCarthy has revealed another fun one for those of you that weren't too happy about Derpy's new hair color in the season premiere. It looks like we may be seeing her big return as the season continues forward.  Whether that is a full on scene, or just background derp eyes is a complete mystery.  With how much merchandise she has floating around out there now though, I wouldn't be too surprised at something substantial.  Maybe a happy medium like Luna Eclipse?

Regardless, it's celebration time.  Have some muffins. 

Brohoof for Healthyness

As if it wasn't already known, handshakes are a great way to spread all sorts of nasty viruses.  It's like mass downloading files way back during the Kazaa era, over time, something is gonna hit you.  CBC has done a quick article on the "fist bump", which the pony world has sort of adopted as the "brohoof", or "hoofbump", going into detail on a study that explained the benefits of skipping the handshake. 

tl;dr if you see me at a convention, lets bust out the hooves instead! 

You can find the article over here!

Music of the Day #223

For whatever reason, when I first glanced at this one I thought they drew Rarity as a lion.  Toss some paws on that and it would be easy to confuse her.  I think it's the lounging pose.

Anyway, get some music of the day! 13 in all!

Twilight Scepter Added to Skyrim

Wow, this fandom works fast.  As promised in that earlier post, EQD has officially hit it's cap for reporting on this meme now that it has traveled to the land of Skyrim.  On top of this, it looks like there are two completely different versions available.  If your character uses maces, you can snag the weapons found above at Skyrim Nexus.  Their stats are equivalent to an Ebony mace and crafted at the forge.  Weapon number two sticks to the staff type, with lightning bolt shots as the effect. Unfortunately we didn't get a link to grab that one, but I'm sure one of you commenters can track it down.  A video demonstrating them can be found below the break. 

While you are at it, you might as well pick up one of the piles of other pony related mods.  Now go start some trouble in Whiterun!  Thanks to everyone for sending this.

Update: Looks like the file was pulled!
