Rainbow Dash's Precious Book - Part 11

Life with Rainbow Dash, the 11th. StormxF3 has released the next part of her series. Go get it below!

Music: PVNK - Horse Party (R3CTIFIER Remix) [Drumstep]

R3CTIFIER has been pumping out some really cool remixes recently, and this one is no different. Taking the awesome vocal chopping and feel of the original track by PVNK, and adding some pretty neat bass sounds helps take this track to the next level. If you're into sound design-heavy drumstep, this is well worth a look.

Drawfriend Stuff #2030

You may remember the 2015 banner event that we started off with January3rd's Bat Pony Spotlight Splash. He decided to make us a second one for 2016 as you can see up above! I sometimes regret not just making her a bat pony in general. She looks so good like that with the color scheme.

I'm not sure if we are doing a halloween banner event this year. How many of you would be interested?

Now go get art below!

Gameloft Releases Crystal Empire Update for My Little Pony Game

The Crystal Empire has been released for all of you still grinding away at the My Little Pony game. At the moment it requires a huge investment of "snowglobes" to unlock, which is another new currency they added with the update, but you can still see all the new buildings and ponies available.

Get screenshots and info below!

Music: PrinceWhateverer - A Place That We Call Home [Punk Rock]

I've spent the last week listening to oldschool Punk Rock stuff on Spotify, so seeing this in the inbox was awesome. PrincesWhatever does it again with a track from his new "Reinvent" album, celebrating all things Cutie Mark Crusaders. How fitting considering the genre.

The Rest of MLP Season 6 Airing Early in the UK!

Assuming the listings are correct, which so far all the leaked/early episodes have been this season, the rest of the season will be airing early over on the UK joining episode 23 earlier. Someone over at the episode scheduling area of Hasbro is going to get slap on the back of the head for this one!

It turns out, the UK airs the episodes every single day too back to back, so we have an insane week of pony coming up:

• Wednesday (October 5th) - Where the Apple Lies
• Thursday (October 6th) - Top Bolt
• Friday (October 7th) - To Where and Back Again Part 1
• Saturday (October 8th) - To Where and Back Again Part2

There is a chance that someone at Hasbro will see this and swap the episodes out, but if pre-existing deals can't be changed, it's looking like our countdown timer will be shifting to accommodate these.

Get screenshots below.

Thanks to  CinemaQuestria and Mark for the heads up.

Let's Review: MLP #46

Hm. Election comic in an election year? Have you all brought your flame-proof socks? How about spoiler-proof gloves?

Let's talk about this issue after the break!

Music: Daniel Ingram - Out On My Own (Tomato.Tuesdays Cover) [Indie Pop]

This might be a little simple on the production side, but what really gets me about this cover is the incredibly unique vocal stylings of the producer, Tomato.Tuesdays. Especially astute observers might be able to recognise from the voice, but this is an artist who definitely isn't new to the fandom, this is just a new alias of theirs. This is definitely one of the more interesting covers we've had of this track, so I highly recommend checking it out!

'Where The Apple Lies' Airing Early in the UK?

Looks like yet another episode of pony is releasing a little earlier in another country before we get a chance at it here in the State. Apparently Tiny Pop is showing the episode 'Where the Apple Lies' a few days early, showing it on Wednesday, October 5th, instead of Saturday on the 8th!

Not sure if it is an error or not, but we'll keep our eyes up as the date approaches. Heh, it just wouldn't be a season of pony without some crazy stuff happening, right?

Thanks to Andrew for sending it in!

"A share in the sovereignty of the state, which is exercised by the citizens at large, in voting at elections is one of the most important rights of the subject, and in a republic ought to stand foremost in the estimation of the law."—Alexander Hamilton

Happy Election Season everyone! Is everyone ready to learn about civic duty?

…

Even if your not, this comic is published in the United States by an American Company and the biggest piece of news that happens in this country every four years—after a two week sports event featuring the world's greatest athletes—happens to be choosing the new leader of the free world. It's not really a surprise that we have a comic thematically tying into the event.

All joking aside from when we got the initial solicits, I honestly don't expect this story to focus on parodying and lampooning Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. If anything, what IDW has probably done is taken something as complex as the American Election and distilled it down to something that can be used to discuss the ideal of electing our leaders, and possibly give parents a means of discussing with their kids why it is important for the people to choose.

Of course I could be completely wrong, and this could be a complete lampooning of the current election. But there's only one way to find out! Be sure to check out the links below!

Morning Discussion #631

I really wish we knew how Starlight became so powerful with magic. For someone without formal training and not being the element of magic she has some scary magical powers.

Morning everyone! Time to chat!
