Sega Surveys Sonic Fans on Crossing Over with My Little Pony

Sega recently sent out a survey polling their fans on what franchises they would like to see crossed over with Sonic the Hedgehog. Joining an army of other pop-culture icons like Pixar and Capcom, My Little Pony was included in the mix. This is primarily centered around mobile games, though they did mention other platforms deeper in.

Will we see a Sonic X Rainbow Dash combo in the future? I'd be surprised. Beyond surprised. It wouldn't be the first time Sonic went absolutely crazy though. I'll be over here waiting for my Kingdom Hearts pony crossover.

More non-pony details at Gamespot.

Thanks to Slashx for the heads up!

Discussion: What Sort of Villain Are You Hoping For in MLP?

We've talked about what sort of stories, species, and directions we've wanted the show to go, but I don't think we've had a discussion about what sort of villains you guys are looking for in future seasons, at least for awhile.

So what sort of villain would you like? What would be their plan to overthrow all of Equestria? We've had time travel, magic stealing, and massive invasions, so it might be a bit hard to top those.

Leave your ideas in the comments!

AMWDW Weim and Making a Youtube Career

Youtube seems to be the place for a lot of aspiring content creators nowadays. With the talk of several Youtubers pulling in the big bucks and generating a fanbase while being able to share something they love it's attracted a lot of new people to the field of Youtubing. This is especially true considering the countless reviews, analysis, music, animations vlog posts and more we get for the Roundup and other posts each and every day.

So WeimTime and DrWolf have teamed up to create a small video finding success on Youtube nowadays, pony or otherwise. Find out what they have to share after the break!

Vinyl would be the perfect pony to keep a secret I think! After all, she can't talk, right? Though I guess she could just write it down...

Anyhow, comics! So many updates after the break!

Story: For the Good of Equestria

[Adventure][Alternate Universe]

Author: brokenimage321

Description:
In the wake of a great tragedy, Celestia opens up, and, for the first time, tells her own story. For the first time, she tells what happened with Discord and King Sombra. And, for the first time, she tells what it's like to have to give up everything she's ever had, everything she's ever wanted, everything she's ever dreamed of--all of it, for the good of Equestria.

Pony Spotlight #17 - DJ Pon3

Welcome to another Pony Spotlight, where I examine one of the hundreds of characters from My Little Pony, and highlight random facts, trivia, and personality quirks that might get overlooked by the casual viewer. My name is TheSlorg, and I'll be your host.

Today's pony needs no introduction, but she's getting one anyway. She's the pony with two names, both of which were given to her by fans, and both officially adopted by Hasbro. She's a party animal on par with Pinkie Pie, she's a celebrity in her own right, and she really doesn't have much to say. At all.

It's time to Spotlight the one and only DJ Pon3! Head below the break to read more.

The Macedonian Rainbow Dash and Applejack Are Apparently Male

Every once in a while, a country somewhere in the world crops up with an absolutely ridiculous pony dub. Macedonia wins out on this one. Both Applejack and Rainbow Dash are voiced buy men. I'll let you dive in and discover it for yourself.

Short/Simple Animation: Ponybourne Trailer

I'd play a Bloodbourne: Pony edition. Even ponies can be a little grimdarky somtimes. It would still be a challenge to slay a pony though, even if she's a giant undead rotting demonlord pony.

This one a little bit simple, but it's still cool.

Elements of Justice Official Trailer

Remember Turnabout Storm? Ending in 2013 the series combined the worlds of MLP and Phoenix Wright in a grand fashion and for years there has been silence. Now a fan-made sequel is on the horizon as a trailer for Elements of Justice has finally been released!

Check on after the break for the full trailer!

Spice Up Your Life Extended Synopsis Reveals More Cutie Map

While the synopsis itself doesnt tell us a whole lot more than the original does about the actual episode, it does reveal that we will be returning to working with the Cutie Map as the season chugs along. That season 5 aspect has been largely absent for all of season 6. Usually themes don't cross over seasons.

Head on down below if you want to read the updated synopsis

AWesome PMV: Arcades

When I first opened this one, I thought it was going to be another one of those blinding teenage PMV's. While it does do a lot of flashy effects, it also has some absolutely perfect synching to the beat, with motion graphics and really cool transitions between scenes. We even get some YTPMV elements littered throughout.

Story: Discourse on Fillies

[Slice of Life]

Author: Daedalus Aegle

Description:
Diamond Tiara always knew that someday she'd be invited to dine with the Princess at the Royal Palace. She didn't think it would happen like this.
But she's going to sit there and be polite and smile and not be bothered by all the ways this is all wrong. Because that's what good fillies do, and Diamond Tiara is a good filly now.
Right?
