More Details on Mane 6's Pon-E3 Stream

Fighting is Magic

Earlier today Mane 6 gave out some more info on their role in Pon-E3. We already knew what they were doing (hosting a stream of the EVO build at on the 14th at 3:00pm PST), but this time they've stated that to ensure everypony gets the best experience possible the team has switched their channel from being on Livestream to Twitch.tv and can be found at http://www.twitch.tv/manesix#. Be sure to bookmark it, folks!

After a break we have a copypasta mini-FAQ from their announcement.


Pon-E3 Promo Video!



Yes folks, we just went though the trouble of putting together another of those trailers just to reveal who is attending Pon-E3. Why didn't we just put it in text like the other announcements? Because videos have been scientifically proven by totally reliable sources to be 20% cooler then plain text when used for announcements, that's why! And if you disagree with us, you can take it up with my cat (he's quite smart you know).

Anyhow, the event will start at 6:00am, PST on July 13, and end at 6:00pm, PST on the 14th. The entire thing will take place online and it won't cost you a cent to drop in. And in case you want a detailed schedule of the event you can find it at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TlIHQqEOlpF_y5LGVekI8LizpRcU5Gq3NMgwnV8WcAE/edit?pli=1.

See you there!

Crazy Pony

Crazy Pony

Some people just want to watch the world burn, and they have various ways of accomplishing that goal. Since they don't have the resources necessary to actually set the earth on fire they usually resort to various other pastimes to pacify this desire, ranging from being a jerk when nearby certain people to attempting to take over the world (and inevitably failing for various reasons). On the other hand Verycrazypony has taken a somewhat more subtle approach that involves a video game of his own creation that he titled Crazy Pony and has been deviously created to be as difficult as possible. The plan involves angry outbursts at the game which if unchecked will eventually transform the Brony populace into an army of rage-fuelled monsters to destroy the globe.

Exactly what do we think of his efforts so far? Well for that you must continue after the break.


MLP:Online Episode 1 Beta

MLP: Online Episode 1: First Contact

At BroNYCon last Saturday they promised to release a beta of the single player MLP:Online Episode 1 on Monday. If we really want to be technical they did fulfil their promise by releasing just before midnight, although for the most of us that meant that we couldn't play until today. Is there a problem with that? Not really, and this way we should end up with a slightly less buggy beta, although from what I've heard you should prepare for your fair share of bizarre glitches. Remember to report any bugs to the team on the help and support forums, and that if a bug is humorous enough (or just really darn weird) then you should take a screenshot or record a video so that future generations can enjoy them too.

Right now the beta only supports Windows and lacks much of the content from the final game, such as the boss. I haven't tested the game in Wine yet but I think it should run decently enough. And as for the download, well you can find it at http://mlponline.net/download.php. Happy testing!

(Yet Another) Pinkie Pie Platformer Preview



This is the gameplay footage of yet another Pinkie Pie platformer. It's probably never going to be released as it was just a test by the author, but I decided to post it anyways (partially to avoid possibly offending the author). If enough people give the bloke feedback he might consider developing it into a fully-fledged fangame that you can actually play, even though we're already having trouble keeping track of all these near-identical games already. Yes, there's a couple really good ones out there, but who really wants an overload of one specific type of game, eh (I'm looking at you, CoD fans)?
