Tara Strong AMA - Questions and Answers Compiled - Equestria Girls 2 Confirmed Again

For those that don't feel like digging through the thousands of fans of just about everything Tara Strong was involved in for her answers, a bot on the tabled section of Reddit has compiled them up.  Some of it is pony specific, others are a bit random.  One in particular was the third confirmation of  Equestria Girls for those that still have doubts, via this one (Thanks to Andrea and Brandon for pointing it out):

Q: Anything at all you can spill about Equestria Girls 2, ostensibly subtitled as "Rainbow Rocks"?

A: It'll be adorable!

Anyway, head on over here for all of it! 

The Hub Teasing Another Discord Song?

Something that may or may not be newsy popped up over on the MLP Facebook page.  The image above (from Keep Calm and Flutter on) was captioned in the actual tweet with a:

Discord needs a song for his upcoming #EquestriaGames figure skating routine. What ideas do you have?? #MLPSeason4

Obviously this isn't confirmation of anything, and it could just be a simple community shoutout thing, but it's worth tossing up anyway! So what do you want to see if it does happen? 

 Thanks to Max and Aleximus for the heads up!

Sacramento CBS Analyzes the Sacramento Pony Group

A bit of fun Ponies in the Media for you all today, this time coming from Sacramento.  A segment called "Tony Takes On" decided to visit a nearby comic shop and the bronies within.  Everything from the 4de plushies to a quick overview of the fandom itself is unveiled.  Overall it's pretty neutral, if a little tongue in cheek.  They totally used that oldschool theme too.  Is that the first thing that comes up on Google or something? Why can't we escape it!?

Anyway, find it over here.

"Simple Ways": Episode Followup

I remember when the synopsis for this episode landed on the internet last month. I whipped out my phone and sent several threatening texts to the other blogponies (and an ambiguously invitational one to Cereal) to assert my claim on this followup.

Could've gone worse. We're above knife fights here.

You know the drill! Hit the break and let's get this followup going.

Story: The Monster of Cane's Hill

[Dark]

Author: ArgonMatrix

Description: "No one's insane as Victor R. Cane."

Or so say the ponies of The Grassy Hollow. But Victor knows they're wrong. He's not insane. He's a visionary. They're all just too simple-minded to understand what his brilliant mind alone can comprehend. No one will listen to him though. He's an insane freak! Well, if he can't convince them of his amazing ideas, he'll just create someone who can.

And it'll be someone whose legacy will never die.

Poll Results: What was the Best Song from Pinkie Pride?

Goof Off takes the win! That was a close one! We really do need an extended/complete version of Make a Wish.

Next poll: For the rest of the season, either Rarity or Applejack are stuck as their "Simple Ways" counterparts! Which one would you want to deal with? Hit it up on the sidebar.

Rarity Cereal Shirt Joins Luna and Applejack

Is this a new meme or something? I remember cereal ponies way back in the day, but these are actually being sold.

We have another one, this time over on Shirtpunch.  Get it over here!
