• Nightly Roundup #971


    Tirek may have the moment in the spotlight after this season's finale, but who will be ready to threaten Equestria again when the new season comes around? Got to say, they will have a hard time toppling him that is for sure.

    Heya guys! Managed to find a computer here while I'm on vacation so I can keep posting. Yay! Hope you all are doing well and have a great night.

  • Music of the Day #308

    I'm still freaking out about that battle scene.  I think I will be for weeks.

    Season 4 is over, but we've still got one more writer's training grounds to do!  We may or may not continue the training grounds during the hiatus, but there will be a discussion post about that later.  For now, head below the break to grab your prompts!

  • New Server for EQD Denizens to Invade on Minecraft


    With the closure of the old servers leaving quite a few refugees running around looking for a new Minecraft home, the guys over at PonyMC have offered to take everyone in, as well as anyone else who wants to join in on the fun. Their server is massive, with several cities from the show fully realized and many more in progress.

    To connect, just toss play.ponymc.com into the usual Minecraft server connection.  Moderators tend to be around during the mid day times, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  Survival is fair game (and a separate area entirely), but builders will need to apply on the EQ section of the forums.

    If you want more to check out before logging in, head on down below the break for images and a video showcasing what they have available!



  • Discussion: What did you Like Most About Season 4?


    Season 4 was a whirlwind of crazy situations we haven't seen the likes of in any of the previous runs.  With Discord occupying several episodes, alternate worlds popping up via Power Ponies, an entire episode with Weird Al as a guest, and that completely off the wall season finale, it's bound to be right up there with the second one for most memorable.  I know I loved most of it, and I can't wait to see how they are going to try to top it with the 5th season in the future. 

    So, good readers of Equestria Daily and bronies everywhere; what was your favorite part of season four? Which scene, situation, or whatever else you can think of sold you on the world of pony this time around?

    Hit those comments up with your thoughts!

    Good work everyone.  Our cries have been answered and a compromise made. 
  • "Twilight's Kingdom", Parts I and II: Episode Followup



    So here we are again.

    I heartily agree with what my friend CouchCrusader said after this episode aired- the headlining G4 movies might have very little to do with pony, but it feels like we finally got our small personal equine movie this weekend.

    If the ratings, polls, and discussions I've seen are any indication, this season has been the most well-received we've had so far, touching base with the second season in a way that's too close to call. It is fitting, then, that such a pronounced exclamation point has been put on the tail end of it. There's no two ways about it: this was the finale everyone had been waiting for, and it hit the ball right out of the park. It was powerful, it was engaging, and it advanced the biggest storyline we've had in this generation. We might not be seeing our pony friends again in a proper season until next year, but after this I think I'm okay with a little waiting.

    Before we begin, I want to thank everyone on the team at DHX for making this possible. The writers, the storyboarders, the directors, the producers, and all of their support teams. You're the reason we're here and the reason we're passionate about this wonderful thing called ponies that you've helped continue. You're awesome and we love you. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

    Below the break: the episode followup for Twilight's Kingdom.

  • Poll Results: How often do you listen to fandom made pony music?


    Music it something that has been a big part of the fandom since the very beginning.  With songs like Winter Wrap Up fueling the remix community, and original compositions filling in the holes between official stuff, it's a big deal.  Over the years, the flood of stuff has and big names taking over kinda funneled music into specific popularity categories.  Hopefully you guys give some of the newer people a shot, spotlight posts especially if Music of the Day is (understandably) too long to gamble with. 

    Anyway, next poll: 
    Who had the best Rainbow Power design in the finale?

    Hit it up on the side bar!
  • Comics: Maybe She's Too Powerful / Block House / Liar Lyre / Unhealthy Relationship


    So that's why they didn't have a Trixie scene.  Poor pony... I heard unhappiness causes a lack of magical ability in unicorns.  Clearly we need to run an event here to cheer her up at some point.  Give me some ideas. 

    And click these for comics.


  • Season 4 in 50 Seconds


    Madness, that was the topic here for season 4.  They really stretched the boundaries on what a show originally intended for little girls could be.  Head on down below for a silly recap in 50 seconds, complete with spaghetti, red bull, Spongebob, and other forms of insanity.


  • (Unconfirmed) - Build a Bear Party with Trixie and Applejack Planned and Date for Releases


    A local Build a Bear shop created these flyers noting a MLP themed party for the release of both Applejack and Trixie.  While we weren't able to confirm it, it does look like the release date for these two will be either July 12th exactly, or somewhere in the area.  The submitter, Lauryn, also pointed out that Zecora will be an online only deal unless she does well enough to be sold in stores.

    While we can't confirm it yet for a mass release of the plushies, it's still something to keep an eye out for. 

  • GalaCon 2014 Cosplay Contest


    Cosplay is an ever growing part of our fandom and the quality of the outfits keeps getting better and better as time goes on. So what better way to celebrate the art of cosplaying than through a cosplay contest! GalaCon has got cosplayers covered this year as they host the GalaCon 2014 Cosplay Contest!

    Curious? Check after the break for the details!

  • Nightly Roundup #970


    One does not mess with Twilight Sparkle. That was amazing.

    So, the season is over.  It's time for the community and official comics to take over while we wait for more pony.  Hopefully the guys over at Hasbro will throw us a bone or two while we wait. 

    We have meetup groups to hold you over! Make sure you hit up that meetup map if you haven't already.  Hopefully someone in your area is running something. 

    Anyway, get the usual roundup stuff! Also a good place for meetups.
