Anyway, news time!
Cracked Posts Ponies, Again!
This popped up in their recent "If You Really Didn't Care What Tour Co-Workers Thought" event. Have you guys told your co-workers about ponies yet?
This is the 3rd time ponies have popped up on Cracked. I'm pretty sure one of the judges for this stuff is a brony.
The Fourth Floor Interviews...Me!
A new website covering various topics of geek culture recently did an article on Equestria Daily, and asked me a few questions. You can find the interview thing here!
They also did a pony podcast, which you can locate here!
And if you are interested in tossing them some recommendations on what to talk about during their podcasts, or anything else you might find, toss it to this email
I sure do suck at incorporating links into things. I blame time constraints!
Applejack Joins the Medicine Hat Stampede
That is totally Applejack in someone's window though, which is amazing on it's own.
Check out the site for more information once it starts moving quicker!
Xfire Brony Group
Another brony group is looking for more members! This time over on Xfire.
You can find them here!
Flutter Valley G1 Rebuilding
Technically G1 is where pony started, and some of the old pony folks want to coach us newbs on it. This website is trying to close the gaps between the old stuff and Friendship is Magic. I guess there are quite a few throwbacks in there that most never really noticed.
You can find the site here!
Kotaku Photoshop Contest Pony Winner
The "Chillin With Chell" contest over on Kotaku.com tasked a bunch of photoshop artists with dropping portal references into various backdrops. You can find Pinkie Pie's winning entry here!
OC Blind Bag Custom Pony Ponychan Contest
Xanthestar over on ponychan is holding a contest to convert your OC pony idea into a blindbag custom.
Winners will be chosen at random. All you have to do is toss your concept into the mix by posting the colors/type/ect into the thread!
You can find the event here!
Drawball Wars Day #5
Over at Drawball2, a truce is in the works between the two warring factions: Kongregate and the Brony Armada. Currently the bronies are attempting to draw a Kongregate flag on the Great and Powerful Trixie (who WAS wearing sunglasses, and being even more amazing because of it).
If you want to help out, head over to the ball and start painting!

First for First time
ReplyDeleteFirst! And is this the same Kongregate as the flash site or what?
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting the Drawball situation in the roundup Sethisto!
ReplyDeleteAww dammit... Not first I guess...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the interview, Seth!
ReplyDeleteAnd sparkly star Twilight Sparkle is SO cute!
Ooooh, I can't wait to see the awesome customs to come out of this contest.
<3
@Lunasta
ReplyDeleteYep.
Do you guys even read the articles before posting your "first"yness? I mean, first is cool, but scrabbling for it like that?
ReplyDeleteThat article got some of it's facts wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt says you've been running this blog since October when it really started in late January, early February.
Rarity is barely visible on that drawball, at least trixie and a few small ponies are still visible though
ReplyDeleteInteresting interview Sethypoo.
ReplyDeleteThis proves that love and tolerance conquers all.
ReplyDelete@ 2:41 anon
ReplyDeleteAre you stalking Seth? How on earth could you know that?
I am like that in my workplace :)
ReplyDeleteI even use MLP stuff for my designs, and I am doing a print version of Equestria Daily for this week's editing work. I will send you the final version Seth :)
Seth you work too hard on this blog man. Go get some sleep, you earned it. :D
ReplyDeleteI seen the Xfire MLP Group and I almost died of excitement, might get on Xfire more now ^-^
ReplyDeleteHey I thought today's best pony is Octavia
ReplyDeleteyay cracked is finally submitting :D
ReplyDeleteG1!? I grew up in the Eighties with three sisters, I have absolutely no interest in any generation other than FiM thank you very much. All of My Little Pony before FiM is a byword for revolting girlie crap. I did check out the G1 movie a few months ago to see if there was any connection with FiM, and all I found was Spike. Though the ooze song was admittedly funky.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Yeah, it was supposed to be but that has changed I guess, war, war never changes.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteuhhhh
About that...
It angers me that people would dare to deface the great and powerful Trixie on drawball >.< using up all my ink for the magic of FRIENDSHIP!
ReplyDeleteI started trying to make a Ferrarity logo on the left top side, but ran out of ink :(
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think it'll be painted over by tomorrow.
I was expecting Octavia. Not that Twilight is bad and all but I just prefer Octavia better because sometimes I tend to like minor characters more than major ones. Also because Octavia looks badass.
ReplyDeleteuhm ... there are two nightly roundups #44. So this should be Number 46 by now. Or am i mistaken?
ReplyDeleteIt may be the fact that I just got of one of the longest work weeks I have had to put up with in a while, but that "Flutter valley G1" thing looks off. From what I gather from the linked site, it looks more like a low quality, self insert fanfic made by a young kid. I'm not claiming to be an expert on G1, but I doubt that there was a human who lost family to cancer and then gets a sword. God, that looks painfully stupid.
ReplyDeleteI've been in the drawball war for a few days now, it's been pretty fun, and pretty frustrating that you draw something then it's just fudged up again by the other guys.
ReplyDeleteKinda nice to see a truce going on.
Ponychan has made friends with two well-known hate-machine sites, the Off-Topic section on Kongregates forums and the french group 15-18.
ReplyDeleteThey both got gifts from ponychan on drawball and have become friends after some talk =D
Friendship is magic!
Also, the french guys will be making a flag covering the entire drawball today so it's probably not a good idea to interfere with it.
ReplyDeleteI see that. Hope they don't touch Trixie, though, they can easily go behind her.
ReplyDelete@Sethisto It's alright... I don't really mind which pony you put every night ;)
ReplyDeleteHey, I've noticed that tons of people are working on Trixie. Can we spread some of that love to the flag too?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThis was posted after midnight. That makes it tomorrow, and clearly tomorrow's best pony is Twilight. :P
SETHISTO! Y U NO OcTAVIA!?
ReplyDeleteWho else thinks that OC, comet tail, looks pretty badass?
ReplyDelete"Q7. What are your expectations or hopes for Season 2? Are there any ponies apart from the main characters that you hope to see return?
ReplyDeleteA7. The Great and Powerful Trixie!"
It wouldn't be a conversation with you without dropping Trixie in there somewhere.
The G1 thing is....interesting. I don't really have any interest with anything that came before this series but it is interesting to see what it was like without having to watch it. That may sound like me being lazy but I didn't grow up with it so there is no reason for me to subject myself to it. Also does anyone feel that the name is a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion? It might be just me.
YES! FIRST!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA XENA FAG!!!!!
First
ReplyDeleteAH
DAMN NINJA
I would love to see Celestia in the drawball next but that would be SUPER hard to defend because her coat is all white.
ReplyDeleteSomeone good at line art needs to fix up trixie. She's looking kinda rough.
ReplyDeleteKinda really rough.
Can't find Medicine Hat Applejack...
ReplyDeleteFeels bad, man
we need everypony on Trixie's bottom torso area and legs. Some troll keeps drawing "inappropriate male body parts" on them!
ReplyDeleteThe frenchies keep griefing trixie, theyre trying to fill the entire ball with their flag. :/
ReplyDeleteTrixie survives! Not even a coordinated attack on the entire drawball can defeat the great and powerful one!
ReplyDeleteTrixie's eyes sure are a popular griefing spot.
ReplyDeletePinkie is going to break the fourth floor!
ReplyDeleteWHY IS IT SO HARD TO SPELL BRONY?
ReplyDeleteIT'S BRO PONYYYYYYYYYYY
I've used up all my ink. ^_^
ReplyDeleteSilly G1 fangirls, your show sucked ass, we wont take lessons from you.
ReplyDeleteYay, my backwater town gets mentioned! I need to go look for this.
ReplyDelete"I blame time constraints!"
ReplyDeleteI blame our schools.
How come there are no coffee cups with ponies on them, huh?!? I need one. I have 2 Mickey Mouse cups and a Yellow Submarine cup and I need a PONY cup, dammit!
ReplyDeleteSomething like this: a cup with a pic of Twilight Sparkle on it, in curlers and a nightgown, standing over a bubbling cauldron and sipping out of a coffee mug. The text above her could read: "Coffee Is My Favorite Brew" or something like that. Come on, you fat greedy merchants! Make stuff like that and take my money! STAT!
And I'm still PISSED that the Deal With It Rarity Shirt at WeLoveFine doesn't come in a nice baggy comfortable men's size!!!!!!!
Cool interview, though I REEEEEAAAALLY wish they had referred to the site by its correct abbreviation, EqD, not ED...
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love it! We would welcome that.
@"Have you guys told your co-workers about ponies yet?":
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty obvious at my workplace. I have a 2ftx2ft Fluttershy LEGO mural on my cubicle wall, I use FLP sticky notes for all work notes that I hand to people, and the other 4 Bronies at work and I often hang around my desk at talk about MLP.
Yeah, best workplace ever :)
@Anonymousthe "frenchies" are allied with us, it's just that some didn't understand the plan but the general idea was that they would avoid Trixie anyway. They are a lot of people too and quite organized (with lots of area filling bots and restarting routers for renewed ink).
ReplyDeletethanks for featuring my picture of Twilight :3 That Brony nation poster is awesome XD
ReplyDeleteThank you Seth for the Fourth Floor Post! :D
ReplyDeleteWHY ARE THEY DRAWING DICKS?... Oh yeah, they like painting themselves
ReplyDelete@Flygon16
ReplyDeleteI was unaware. It has been fixed.
Someone on drawball wrote "Bronies want War" inside one of the giant Ks, I think someone's trolling at us.
ReplyDeleteThey are messing up Trixie's Hat, legs and her Gem!!
ReplyDeleteHalp! I already ran out.
I had a dream where Cracked would post ponies again and I was right!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm a member of Kongregate - Off-Topic. A lot of bronies, including me, are there and we don't want Trixie to be erased. There are some aggressive anti-bronies too, and they want Trixie gone - I don't think they would accept a truce.
And I'm glad that the French guys left Trixie as I had hoped.
You know, the thread in /oat/ told me that the sunglasses I added was a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteBUT THEY WERE WRONG
There's an Xfire group now? I'm in.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of taking the G1 ponies and updating them for G4.
ReplyDeleteI wonder which building exactly that Applejack picture is, I`m heading there sometime this week and I gotta check it out.
