Does this count? Well, the lead singer is AJ and RD's voice actress. And what's on the cover? A horse- a rainbow horse. You can come to your own conclusions.

Good work!
Glad your teacher was cool about it! =)

So, I heard that Derpy is getting her own toy which includes the derped eyes. Does that mean the war has been won?

Rule #1: Do not talk about the Derpy War.

However… I would not say there was a war to win, things happened, but there was nothing we could do about it. I would hope that this would be a way of them saying they still like us, and may be sorry about what happened to the character, but that's just my romanticized version of what is happening.

It's just another shout out. Probably nothing more, probably nothing less. It is nice that there are muffins on the box; that made me smile.

Coming to a Comic Con near you (if you live near San Diego, California):

There was never a 'war' against Derpy.
Hasbro didn't really want to censor her, but large corporations have always had disproportionate reactions to minor complaints.
They were just being a business.
They had (and to an extent, still have) no idea how to deal with this crazy 'brony' thing.
It's so out of their usual comfort zone.
Derpy as a Comic Con toy proves that they are really putting an effort behind it and I hope it will pay off greatly so they will continue in the future.

@Ric
Awwwwwwwwww shit son.

I can never be that good at math. I guess why is because i always fall asleep in the middle of class.

@Ric
That is great, congratulations on your A. Is it university or college algebra?
Edit: In Canada there are 3 levels of High School education including Academic/University, Applied/College and Work/Essentials. I do not know the American High School education system, so can you give me a Canadian equivalent of the level which you are in.

Unrelated Picture:

I never sleep during school.

EVER!

@Tim
High school algebra 2, I am one of the four people who made an A as a over all grade in my teacher's course this semester.

I am the 1%.

Welp, you got me beat there. My forte is English, though :P

So your teacher had 400 students this semester?
That's the only way you could be the 1%.
That seems like a giant class size!
(Come on people. Math is fun!)

How do you not? The shit there is so boring. It's a huge challenge just to stay awake.

Just testing the waters. Hello, fellows. Last time i tried to post, it didn't work, so…

@Tim
Stupid Youtube disabling embedding! Have to link instead!

Oh sorry, did me quoting it make it enlarge?

I should stop using Photoshop…

@Cheese

Oh sorry, did me quoting it make it enlarge?

Yea it does that, that's why we prefer it when you don't quote huge posts or posts with huge images.

A simple @[name here] is all you need to do to address people. Were smart enough to figure out what you are replying to.

Alright you guys. When will the synchtube be? Tomorrow or Sunday, and at what time?

[edit] HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT?! The Living Tombstone's remix of Discord is going to be an OFFICIAL ROCK BAND SONG!!!!!

"A spark you say? Well lucky for you, I happen to have the perfect donor!"

The lineage of the Hero of Time continues on to a new generation!

@Zarathh
Are you sure about that song?
You can use the authoring tools to chart pretty much any song you want, but to actually go on sale, it needs to be approved.
Other people have charted pony songs as well, but I think it's unlikely that they'll ever go on sale sadly.


I would buy these in a heartbeat if I could!

@DeadParrot

I believe it is actually true. Here's the EqD article and here's a press release about it.
I am so buying/downloading that tomorrow.

Okay, then that's just awesome!
(Odd that we got a remix and not the original, but whatever)

Did you guys hear about Firefox posting a OC pony on their Facebook wall.

Link to the wall post

I went ahead and read the whole post.

There's so many love and so many hate in there.

@Tim

We should all comment on that Facebook post

"KYM brought me here"

Also those comments are hilarious.

My face when:

@Rock Band
@Firefox

Looks like it's been an awesome day in the news. Tombstone and Eurobeat Brony totally deserve their success! Now let's hope for even more awesome brony tunes in the Rock Band lineup. To celebrate, here's some ridiculousness the likes of which I never thought I'd be posting.

mfw:

but then I'm like

>Internet?
>Internet.

@Bruelock

Lol Tiarawhay

when i saw this i immediately went

New song by The Living Tombstone is out! I thought this news couldn't get any better. First Discord on Rock Band, then Mozilla puts a pony on their wall, and now an epic new remix!

At first I thought she was joking.

And then the tweets kept coming in.

This woman is srs.

Bigger version here. Also you guys, when are we gonna do the synchtube? I'm itching to watch some ponies.

@Verbose
So Megan Macarthy is trying to assemble a brony band to play a massive, original, quilt-style song with each person writing their own part?
This could be interesting…
Has anyone alerted EQD?
The number of volunteers would probably skyrocket!
Ponies needs it's own 'We Are The World' super-song!

That's odd. I can see saw them perfectly.

Changed them anyway.

Topik.

Let's say Google is to make a Google Doodle of Ponu. What do you suggest they do?

I should hope it would involve unexpected animations with abrupt captions.

@Deadparrot

That's what it seems like. I don't listen to pony music with lyrics, as the voices generally annoy me, so I haven't heard what it sounds like. And I haven't seen it on EqD, but I'm not sure if I want it to be a free-for-all on her twitter page either.

That's not really my call to make, but I kinda want to sit back and see how it goes without my influence (implying an email from me is "influence.")

Yes! School is finally out!
Time to PARTAYY! AND WHEN YOU PARTY YOU GOTTA

Now time to work hard on that epic poem fanfic… after E3. WHOO!

Bigger version here.

I listen to plenty of pony musicians, but to date the only vocals I can say I had zero issues with were Eurobeat Brony’s in “Discord” and “Luna”. The remixes of those tracks by The Living Tombstone and Alex S. are some of the most famous in the brony world for good reason. Still, I do listen to Aviators and a couple of others.

Anyway, the fan community has done a couple of compilation songs before, and they usually seem okay. It’s interesting to have someone like McCarthy driving it this time though, so I look forward to seeing what comes out of this. She said it would “involve charity of some kind,” that’s pretty cool.

@Google doodle

Interactive doodles are the best.

Comic time.

@Zarathh's pony genetics

That's actually really awesome. Overanalysis is always fun.
