Nightly Roundup #1038

It's the quiet ones you've got to watch out for. You don't know if one day they are going to come roaring out of the sky with a fire breathing dragon! Probably not likely in the real world, but you shouldn't take your chances.

Time for some news folks. Get it while it is hot!

Nightly Discussion #84

Anthro art in the pony fandom seems to get a mixed reaction, same with humanized, but I always think a little variety can't hurt! After all, it's all these different people in our fandom that makes for one heck of a ride.

Time for talk gang! Get to it!

Music of the Day #363

Sometimes Fluttershy seems pretty fearless when it comes to the Everfree forest, other times she's petrified of it. Maybe there are certain sections of it filled with awful creatures, while others are safer. Zecora seems to be right at home.

Music of the day time. Go!

The Overmare Studios Releases Pre-Alpha Gameplay Footage

The Overmare Studios has been teasing their game version of the popular Fallout: Equestria for awhile now with posts here and there about certain features, gameplay, and graphics but now for the first time we have some pre-alpha gameplay footage courtesy of the team! I must say that while I have never read the story itself I can see myself getting into this game I think. If anything I bet FoE fans will be pleased with the progress!

Check on after the break for the new gameplay footage and their press release.

Comic: An Enthusiastic Listener / Affinity for Sugar / Sweetie Belle / Soarin Wants to Play?

Now onto some cute, odd, and saucy comics.

Story: Solipsism (New Part 5!)

[Sad][Dark][Sci-fi]

Author: Shadowed Rainbow

Description: "Nothing exists but you, and you are but a thought." Twilight's life as she knows it harbored a sense of security, but all that changes when Princess Celestia then arrives to deliver a message. To reveal the truth about Twilight's world that the mare's conscious mind has long since forgotten. As her memories return, she is forced to come to terms with the fact that she was never Twilight Sparkle at all, but rather a structured thought experiment whose knowledge expanded through lives she herself requested to live in order to harbor a greater understanding of existence. But sometimes there's one life among many that's the hardest to let go of... Inspired in part by a "Three words" game in The Writer's Group, and Mark Twain's "The Mysterious Stranger".

Solipsism (Update Part 5!)

Additional Tags: Twilight has an existential crisis

Transparent Discord Shown From Mystery Mini Set #2

I honestly didn't even know this one had a transparent variant.  Apparently it is part of the Mystery Mini lineup, which has an entirely different model from Funko's normal Discord figurine. 

This one is found very rarely in the mystery Mini Series 2 box according to our submitter Micheal.  I wonder how much it will end up going for on Ebay?

Good luck on grabbing one!

3D Pony Art Compilation #6 - AWESOME CHRYSALIS Edition

Remember back in th eday when we used to do spinny pony pictures? Call this THE EPITOME OF SPINNY PONE PICTURES.  Or something like that at least.  We have a ton of changelings of all shapes and sizes in an awesome 3D diorama.  If you usually ignore these posts, don't ignore this one at the very least! Go get it over here.

And below the break, tons of 3D pony art! Everything from SFM to completely custom.  Now go get some! It's a much shorter one than usual due to me really wanting to post that Chrysalis, but technically the image above has an extra 15 or so in it so just add that to the final number!

Spotlight Music: ButterScotch / Destiny

I miss the old days with all those vocal splicey songs people used to make. What ever happened to PinkiePieSwear and the others?

1.) ButterScotch (jazz dub) (Instrumental/Vocal Splicing - Jazz Dub)

Michigan Father and Daughter Launch Rainbow Dash Into Space

What happens when you combine my State, with science, and ponies? You get one smiling Calpony! Over in Kalamazoo, a father and daughter team have been working on a project for three years with the goal of reaching space or at least getting as close as they can!

The girl, 11-year-old Katherine, is a fan of ponies and has reasoned that since Rainbow Dash loves to fly she wouldn't mind taking a ride! The launch is expected to occur tomorrow with Rainbow making her way back to earth by parachute in the near future.

Check out the full report and cute video here. And if Katherine does visit EqD, I just want to say well done! I hope you keep up your interest in science.

Comic: Luna Academy 2 / Rogue Diamond 3:13 / Celestia Helps Applejack / Motherly Sorrow / Indecisive Decision Making

I can't believe that this promising comic series didn't hit our inbox! Took me going through the deep abyss of pony to find it. Maybe once it picks up in popularity it'll start getting sent in.

Anyhow, morning comics guys! Some older ones that were missed and some new ones hot off the press!
