Nightly Discussion #68

Way back I didn't really see much in common between Dash and Twilight, but with their shared love of reading it really does show that extremely different people can come together over a common hobby.

Discussion my friends! Get to it!

Thanks to Tamenish for the heads up!

Ponymania Talking Queen Chrysalis Lines - In Video Form

I clicked this one expecting tiaras and pretty wings, and ended up with "Equestria will be under my control!"". Chrysalis isn't slacking on the evil with her new speaking toy.  For those that haven't been following it, this one is a Toys R' Us exclusive that is now available.

Head on down below the break for all of her lines, along with a video showcasing them to go with it!

Thanks to MeandSamBFFL for the heads up!

PMV Collaboration: It's Time

We finish today's PMV filled schedule with a big ol collaboration between a bunch of people, each contributing to a separate section in their own unique way. I for one am happy to see this medium get some love.  It has been pretty quiet on the PMV front for a while now.

Get it down below!

Spotlight Music: Finding My Way (Back Home)

Have a crush on Fluttershy?! That's pretty weird.  Everyone knows Twilight Sparkle is best waifu all years. 

Seriously though this is a good song for her. We haven't seen a Replacer song here in a  while.  So go get it below!

The Ultimate Cake - Boba Fet Rides Rainbow Dash Across Space

Source

I have something special for you all today, a true wonder of culinary art.  Note the determined look on Rainbow Dash's face and the exhilarated pose Boba Fet is striking as they fly through the stars in search of their most recent bounty.

The Rebels were struggling enough as is, but when Dash joined the fray, several of their top commanders were quickly corralled up and dropped off for large sums of money.  Dash used it to pay back her Wonderbolts Academy student debt, but quickly realized that the freedom of traveling the galaxy hunting down the ultimate prey was much more of a rush for an adrenaline junky like herself. As the empire flourished with their new ultimate bounty duo, new contracts came in at an almost constant rate, and Dashy Fet Bounties LLC became a household name with it's own reality TV series. 

With a powerful enough telescope, you can actually see them blasting from solar system to solar system wreaking havoc on some of the most powerful space crime syndicates out there. It really is magical.

Spotlight Music: The lost ones / I'll Never Be / Rejected

Seems like we have seen an increase in vocal music lately from newer people.  I can't complain!

Get something dedicated to those CMC characters you all like so much to start, followed by a bit of Celestia and Twilight in the second, and finish with drumstep! Enjoy~

1.) The lost ones - TenderFlutter (Vocal - Acoustic Rock)
2.) Romstar - I'll Never Be (ft. Bloo) (Vocal - Experimental Electronic)
3.) Rejected (Instrumental - Drumstep)

PMV: Starlight

I dub today: Really Cool PMV Day! We have a bunch of them.  Izeer brings another, with more motion graphics and awesome usage of pony vectors to essentially build his own scenes as opposed to use the usual stuff most of these run with. Go watch it! You won't be disappointed.  It's also incredibly long for the quality level.

Drawfriend Stuff #1245

Sassy Changeling queen edition.  For whatever reason I really like that style. 

Here's to hoping we see more of them some time in the future.  Chrysalis needs to be explored.  Someone said earlier that Celestia bullied her in high school. It's revenge time! 

It's art time! Get it all below!

PMV: La Da Dee

Wow, just when I thought the PMV swarm today couldn't get any better, this one pops up. It's totally different than what we usually see, with an almost Little Big Planet or Paper Mario feel.  If you are bored of normal PMVs, this should heal that!

Get it below.

Thanks to AppleElle for the heads up!

Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks Cover Unveiled, Pops Up on Walmart Website

Just in case you were curious about what this one would look like, we now have a cover for Rainbow Rocks.  There was a placeholder for a while (which they are still using for the Blu-Ray version), but this is the final product.

Release is expected for October 28th, or a month after it's theater debut. Full description below the break to avoid them spoilery thingies.

Thanks to Brony250 for the heads up.

PMV: Rarity's Nightmare

We haven't had a grimdark PMV in forever.  Needless to say, this fits the category.  I completely forgot Littleshy did PMVS what with all those cinema sins parodies. 

Anyway, get it down below! It's pretty awesome.

Design a Pony Scootaloo Pops Up at Target

The Wild Rainbow Scootaloo design a pony has started to invade stores it looks like.  This one popped up at Target here in the USA. Your best bet is to call in to confirm if they have it first though, as sometimes these are a bit limited on locations that carry them.

Thanks to Jskr for the heads up!

Anyway, go celebrate pony below!

SFM Trailer: Leaving the Vault

Years later, and we still have an insane amount of Fallout ponies invading the fandom every chance they get. I'm not complaining though. Little Pip is pretty awesome.

Agrodaemon is working on a full on Fallout project, and this is a trailer for that. Expect to see it in a few weeks!
