Season 8 Episode 1 & 2 - School Daze - Discussion

PONY IS BACK! Finally! After another long, painful hiatus, a new season has finally arrived. While Equestria Girls kinda held us over with the movie and specials, nothing beats good ol' cartoon horse!

Discovery Family has been dropping animatics for this season opener, along with other episodes for the past few weeks. You can find all of those over here. Along with that, we have some general trailers and clips.

If you want some humanized pony to hold you over while we wait, we have an Equestria Girls guide section now. Pretty much everything available online is there.

And if you missed it, we have synopsis released for the entire season already! It has been a weird few months.

And finally, we are going to start using our new Instagram soon if you want to subscribe to us over there.

US Toys R Us Liquidation has Officially Begun for Remaining Stores

Of course Toys R Us starts liquidation on a dreary overcast day…

There is literally no way I can possibly make this news happy. The final liquidation sale for the largest toy realtor officially began today.

The liquidation sales posters currently currently hanging up in Toys R Us toy stores state the entire store is up to 30% off. While that poster is true, and there is indeed inventory marked as 30% off, the up to part is the most important aspect of the sign.

After spending about 4 hours in three different Toys R Us stores, I took note of the trends in the sale prices. Which you will be able to find after the break.

Pony Plushie Compilation #269

Editorial: My Relatable Pony: Starlight Glimmer

Starlight Glimmer: A pony with a childhood pain she just couldn't shake. Living most of her life in the shadow of that one moment, Starlight is finally getting a chance to move out into the sunshine. She doesn't fully understand how healthy friendships work yet, but she's also not willing to give up and return to who she was.

If you ever felt like you related to this mare, well this is the post for you. Join me in a quick review of what makes Starlight so relatable.

Music: AnNy Tr3e - Burn (feat. Metajoker) [Progressive House]

AnNy Tr3e has released a few pretty neat house tracks, but this is definitely his best so far in my opinion. Featuring some fantastic vocals from Metajoker, it builds up in a classic progressive way to a high energy house-y drop with some engaging compositional work and nicely clean mix. Check it out below!
