New Pony Cap Flicking Game - Buckshot

This one actually showed up at Ponycon NY last weekend, but it will be heading to more conventions as the year goes on. We actually met up with them to give it a shot, and can tell a bunch of love was put into the design of it.

The idea was pretty simple. Everyone picked a specific set of ponies, each with a "cap" and card to represent them. Some had special abilities, while others were simply fodder. Unlike most card games, this one requires you to physically flick the caps at each others pieces, knocking them out. Unfortunately the table at the convention wasn't the best for this, but it still worked well enough for us to get a good idea on how it's played.

I'm sure loads more information will be released as the year goes on, but for now, get their press release and video below!

A Note on Zap2it's Newly Posted MLP Season 6 Release Date

Quite a few of you have been sending this one in, so it might be worth tossing a post up before things get too crazy. As many around the internet have noticed, the TV listing website Zap2it is showing a March 26th release date for the season opener. Last week, Hasbro slotted the start of the season for May.

Zap2it has pretty much been our go-to site for mining release date news on episodes for a few years now, so it's understandable that people are confused. The official start day for "Spring" which was the original timeframe for season 6 is March 20, but I think we should lean toward Hasbro's Toy Fair presentation for the actual date over Zap2it this time.

Of course, I could be completely wrong and we could have pony super early. I sure as hell wouldn't be complaining!

Thanks to Avdax, 404complaint, euphgeek, and everyone else for the heads up!

Seeing Rarity struggle so much with a deadline is making me nervous. I remember not to fondly those times in college where a project was taking longer than the time I allocated to it. Bleh!

Comic updates guys! I finally cleaned out the updates that have built up in our folder while I was at Ponycon.

Gilda and Friends Joining Gameloft MLP Game Soon

It'll be nice to add some diversity to our towns, right?

Ponies Go Old School With Warcraft II Mod

Normally mods are filed for the Game Index without hitting the front page, but when I heard that this mod in particular was for the classic game Warcraft II my interest was piqued! I used to play Warcraft II all the time as a kid (and suck at it) so I was certainly hit by a wave of nostalgia.

Not only is the mod good nostalgia fuel, but it's actually put together pretty well! Complete with sound bytes for characters and even 'death' animations for units. Anyhow, judge for yourself from the preview clip after the break!

Thanks to Nick for sending it in!

Early Morning Discussion #426

Fluttershy really was a cute model when she put up on the runway for Photo Finish. If she was able to overcome her shyness she really could have blossomed I think.

Morning everyone! Ready for the usual morning chatter?
