Music: Radiarc - Sunset Volcano [Orchestral]

Radiarc returns with something that feels a bit different to his usual stuff. Whilst still ultimately feeling like an orchestral piece, this is a lot more tribal-sounding. With wavering vocal chants, bongo-like drums and an inquisitive and deep atmosphere, this is definitely a pretty cool thing to hear from him! It also completes the creation of his new album, Perception, which is now available for purchase on bandcamp. 

Changeling Battle - An Interactive Experience from Littleshy

Our friend Litteshy has created something a bit unique for us tonight! Ever wanted to participate in a Changeling battle yourself? Littleshy gives you that opportunity with an interactive Youtube experience as you relive the epic battle from the season 2 finale. I've only seen a few vids like this before and they are usually pretty fun so check it out after the break!

Thanks to DecentM for sending it in!

Nightly Discussion #893

What sort of music do you think Fluttershy jams out to? I wouldn't be surprised in private if she jams out to some pretty intense beats.

Evening guys, ready for the weekend?

Comic: Memories 2 / Nightmare 14 / Hollow 1 / Star Mares S2.8 / Lulling / Without Magic 126

I wonder if we'll ever get any more backstory between Sunset and Celestia. It might show up in EqG at some point, but I bet it's pretty slim.

Comic time guys, get them after the break!

Morning Discussion #673

Looks like a certain Discussion post may have been overlooked this morning. No worries, I've got you covered. Along with Lightning Dust here!

Anyway, let's get to chatting!
