Nightly Roundup #909

There was no voting last night because I thought this picture was too adorable not to use for tonight's header. I just love Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash pics!

Now that I have gotten that out of my system, what should we have for tomorrow night? While you think on that, take a look at the news we have tonight!

Official MLP Youtube Tries PMV's?

The official MLP Youtube page has been tossing videos up this last week or so, similiar to the PMV's we usually run.  Unfortunately, they upload them in a whopping 240p (image above), so expect the eyes to strain a bit.  The Rarity one is the most interesting.  I wonder if it is hinting at anything?

Anyway, get them below.  Thanks to Luna and everyone else for the heads up!

Trixie and Twilight Funko Figures Shipping Out!

Trixie and Twilight have begun shipping from Hot Topic for those of you that pre-ordered the two of them. If you still want the duo, you can find pre-order pages over here. I don't think those coupon codes work anymore, but it doesn't hurt to give them a shot!

Thanks to my email box and everyone else for the heads up!

Spotlight Music: Find the Music in You (µThunder Remix) / Starry Nights / City of Shadows

UNLEASH DA MUSICS.  We didn't get  a whole lot of remixes of Find the Music in You did we? I guess it would be a difficult one to do.  Get that in the first slot, a bit of starry skies relaxing stuff in the second, and some smooth jazz in the third. 

1.) Find the Music in You (µThunder Remix) (Remix - Electronic)
2.) Silverwing - Starry Nights (Instrumental - Orchestral / Flute)
3.) City of Shadows - Alone in Manehattan - Reverbrony (Instrumental - Dark Smooth Jazz)

Drawfriend Stuff #1090

Ponies seem to be expanding over in Japan.  I keep getting Pixiv links lately.  They don't work at all with our compiler, but I could never complain at this art.

Tabitha St Germain (Rarity) Heading to BronyCon

Discussion: How Have your Views on Equestria Changed Over Time? Would You Move there Permanently?

Remember this image? That was a a loong time ago.  Back in the day, we were pretty limited on Equestrian lore.  Outside of the Everfree Forest and it's evil denizens within, ponyland seemed pretty damn perfect.  Ponies controlled the weather, Pinkie Pie lived on sugar, and Applejack had too many apples to buck.  Everyone seemed to be perfectly happy with one another. 

Fast forward 4 seasons later, and the world has largely been fleshed out.  Our flawless little utopia has plenty of greed, famine, and even a bit of conflict between races. It's starting to look a lot more similar to earth than we thought, aside from the cartoony anime eye ponies.  It kinda makes you wonder how you would fit in if that age old pony fan dream of visiting said world actually happened.

So, over time, have your views on Equestria changed at all? If The Great and Powerful Trixie appeared in your room one day and offered you a one way single ticket to ponyland without any chance at coming back, would you take it?

LIFE MLP Edition - Update from USAopoly

The LIFE MLP Edition we reported on yesterday seems to have been pulled according to responses received from USAopoly when people contacted them about the game boards. According to Qcom who made us aware of the situation he got these responses:

Thank you for contacting USAopoly.

Unfortunately, we have decided not to make a My Little Pony Life game…

When trying to clarify from the article that EQD posted earlier, I got this:

No, the article was correct until we pulled the games in the last day. Both the Life and Connect 4.

Sorry for any confusion.

I guess there is a lesson to learn here about the Toy Fair: not everything we see necessarily is going to be made into an actual product unfortunately.

Update: Some clarification from USAopoly about the pony LIFE game!

@Loretta_Snape @EquestriaDaily It will likely still exist, but not from us. We can't say more than that for right now.
— USAopoly Games (@USAopoly) February 27, 2014

Received some more clarification from a USAopoly rep, apparently there will be a pony LIFE game sometime this year just not from them!

Thank you for contacting USAopoly.

Although USAopoly will not be making a LIFE MLP game, rest assured, there will be a My Little Pony Game of Life in market this year.

So expect whatever version to pop up to probably be slightly different from what we have seen already.

Snow Pony Event 2014 - Entry Post!

 What happens when it snows like crazy for weeks on end? You make snowponies! As many of you were aware of from a week ago, we tossed an event up to send pictures in of your masterfully crafted creations, and these are the results!

We start off with this beautiful Twilight Sparkle up above, complete with tail, ears, horn, and... raisins! Why raisins? I haven't a clue.  The full Flickr gallery can be found over here for her!

And below the break, more snow ponies! Enjoy!

Giant Twilight Sparkle Bank

ORGANIZATION! That is what Twilight Sparkle is known for! And now you can have her organize your loose change, until the government stops considering pennies currency at least.  It's only a matter of time!

Found at Walmart by Spectacles.  It might make a neat statuette if money storage isn't your thing.

Comic: Opearation Sting / Ask Pun Pony / Pointy Pony Problems

Civilization V - Pony Mod Extradordinaire

Oh glorious Civilization V... many a night I have spent chugging away until 8 A.M. desperately trying to finish Alexander off while completely losing track of time.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who has fallen prey to it's incredibly addicting wiles.  "Just one more turn!" or "I'll go to bed after I finish this wonder! I gotta know if I'm going to beat Egypt on it!" is a common occurrence. 

Many years ago we posted a mod or two, but over the years a ton of new ones have popped up. Time to do some catch up! I threw the Trixie above up over on the Equestria Daily Facebook page, and a ton of people wanted to know where to get it.  Why not add her and a ton of others?

Anyway, head on down below for a bunch of mods! Time to dominate the world with PONY.
