20% Cooler than being Rick Roll'd

MLP:FIM Choral Arrangement



Just saying, this would be awesome to hear actually done. Matt, get the choir to do this immediately.

So much win

Warning: Might not show up right (it's supposed to be Vinyl Scratch in ASCII art) -om_nom_nom

MLP Season One Songbooks/ Chordbooks

No Season 2 songbook yet.
This is just something that was posted on Equestria Daily a few months back. The download links can be found on here. So everyone get to making music! We need more happiness in this world.

Humanized Ponies

They get much saucier than this. Source
Okay this is the link to Pinkie Pie, but if you click it then look at the description you can find all the other ponies. I must say, they are pretty hot. Warning: Not safe for school. And possibly home depending on what your parents allow.

Ponified (My Take)

So after Matt made his post, I decided to redo all of the ponies to my liking. You all can choose either version for your profile pics, holiday greeting cards, etc. I formatted mine the same way Matt did as a guessing game. (I had fun thinking these up, and might make one for everyone I know. Check back here every now and then.)

Ponified

I ponified the four main blog contributors: (Nam, Brandon, Pat, and Matt).  Guess who each is (Corresponds to species in Equestria and hints in the way the caption is written).  Transparencies included (Your Welcome).  Explanations under each picture.  Make your own at: http://generalzoi.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Creator-Full-Version-254295904

*Insert Pony Here* is best pony!

The first time I ever really noticed FiM I thought that Rainbow Dash was the best.  The only other one I knew of was Pinkie Pie.  Remainder of story after break.

[Equestrian Thymes] Issue #2 Response

Fan Fiction:
  • Lol you took my suggestion of reading "Birds and the Bees." Anyways I kind of dislike how you spoiled the ending of the fan fic.
  • Once again I dislike how you spoiled the ending of "Bubbles" also.
 Fan Art:
  • I don't see why Shining Armor would want to shoot one of the Cadences. Why not just take them both?
  • Are you being sarcastic about the caption for Pic 6? Since I'm pretty sure you played Tekken.
  • I don't think Pic 7 is all that great. Luna is better than Celestia though. This comic shows how B.A she is.
 Fan Music:
  • Eh... not much comment. Could you try having more variety in music like with the fan art?
Relating to Ponies:
  • I relate mostly to Pinkie Pie. Mostly since I have random gatherings of friends, and am always positive unless I'm trying to troll someone. I always have a sometimes creepy (depending on the situation) smile. And my hair is always poofy. Also I tend to like talking and will rant, and occasionally the talking gets really random. Also I tend to have insecurities about my friends leaving me or getting annoyed with me. And I like to bake things and am good at it.
  • I have yet to do C.O.P.E. since the weekend my troop offered it for free, I was doing my Ordeal. I'll have to put that on my list of things to do, along with be lazy for an entire summer camp.
Favorite Fan Fic:
  • "Shipping and Handling"
    • Genre: Shipping, Comedy
    • Synopsis: Ditzy Doo works as a mail-mare as we all know. Unfortunately her eyes cause her to sometimes get directions wrong and have bad depth perception. She is fired after delivering something late to the Princess that could have stopped the Manehatten riots. She sees a newspaper ad for a shipping company and signs up, too bad it's not the UPS type of shipping.
    • Reasons for Loving It: It is 13 chapters long, so it can keep you occupied for a few days if you spread it out. All the chapters are well written and entertaining. There are two things going on in the fic: chapter-by-chapter shipping assignments, and a long-term story arc. The author balances these out well over the chapters. And I just love everything about the fic in general, it keeps it fresh and includes many classic/not-so-ordinary shippings.

[Pony Craft] Texture Pack Update

This is just the newest change to the Pony Craft texture pack I made. Requested by Matt.

[Mod] Mine Little Brony

This mod is what we all wanted from Mine Little Pony but didn't receive: actual game content related to MLP! The forum post has a full description of everything in it. It adds pony NPCs, zap apples and more! Unfortunately it is single player only. On the bright side, now everyone has a reason to play regular Minecraft again!

[Texture Pack] Pony Craft 1.1 Pictures

Hello Everyone,

Bellow the page break are screenshots from a texture pack Nam and I are developing/building/upgrading.

[Texture Pack] Pony Craft 1.1


Hi all! So Bfong and I decided to make some Tekkit compatible texture packs. So far on our list is Steampunk and MLP. Right now we're reviewing MLP. We decided to start simple with a My Little Pony texture pack. I downloaded and sent Bfong Pony Craft 1.1 then we're now in the process of editing and add textures. I took this screenshot in SSP on Tekkit. Bfong will have more pics up later.

#MyLittlePony

I was just on Google+ and noticed that the tag, #MyLittlePony was trending then once I clicked it I began puking rainbows! EDIT: I (Nam) inserted a page break for loading speed purposes. You're welcome.

[Project Equestria] Cloudsdale Colosseum

The only thing that got done this weekend in Ponyville Equestria. Why do we all work hard for one day, then decide to be lazy?

[Project Equestria] Canterlot Update

We're done with the main buildings in Ponyville. So I moved on to building Canterlot. Have some pics.

Test

Basically i just downloaded dropbox so i could share equestrian thymes as a pdf.

Clapping Octavia

Comment if you are or are not able to access this test link.  Cool stuff ahead!

Shout-out to Matt: Get in touch with me by Friday for the newspaper please!

Equestrian Thymes?

I had the original idea for Equestrian Thymes.  So why then am I not a part of it?

Sincerely,
~Matthew Foaley

NOTCH IS A BRONY!

And I have no idea what to categorize this post under... random, MLP, or Minecraft? I'll just stick with MLP and Minecraft.

If you don't believe me then Equestria Daily has a post about it, and the audio for the interview can be downloaded.

Equestrian Thymes: The new newspaper

Thought about Nam's "PMS Rage" and decide to make a newspaper "Equestrian Thymes".  First issue released {TBA}. Comment and state if you wanna be a part of the staff.

Also only gonna be posted on this blog ... unless I change my mind.

Mine Little Pony Mod Worka With The Technic Pack

Also this was my attempt at making a Steampunk skin pony compatable. His cutie mark are three gears btw not flowers. Getting the mod installed was also kind of annoying since you actually insert the mod files into the modpack.jar instead of the minecraft.jar in the Tekkit folder. (Pics After The Page Break)

Why The Ponies?...

Seriously the blog title says "Pho Dac Biet- A Minecraft Server" not "Equestria Daily." Can we at least have some Minecraft tied in with the pony posts? Me talking about Steampunk with a picture of Pinkie Pie is fine since the point was to suggest that we all get Steampunk style Minecraft skins. Posting a random maze about my Pinkie's quest to find Dashie Rainbow Dash is too off topic.

Rant over.

Cupcakes!

Why Does Everyone Think I Make People Cupcakes?!

Seriously this is getting ridiculous. First Pmac, now Bfong. Anyways here's a screenshot of the investigation of the "cupcakes" site:


Cupcakes Revisited?

Breaking News:

   Famed hero of china is found dead Monday, 4/2/12.  The 76-year-old martial artist and physician was declared missing the day before.  Below are pictures of the horrific incident; only photos were found as evidence.  The pictures point blame toward Nam Tran AKA "PinkiePie".

Update:

Nam Tran has um... given me an incentive to retract my findings.  There was no cupcake facility after all.



Progress Update

A few pictures of created buildings.  Great work team.
 (New) Windmill
 (New) Windmill

[Project] Equestria Status

After one weekend and a No Sleep Session, here is a map with all the stuff we've done crossed out:
 As you can see, the only thing inside Ponyville left is the windmill. Then I just need to world edit in all the houses on the border. After that we're going to split into separate projects:
  • Sweet Apple Acres (Large barn, 3 smaller barns, and the apple trees. The apple trees will need earth ponies to make)
  • Pony School (Just the school. I'll worldedit in the houses)
  • Canterlot (The hardest project since not much is known about it other than some location names and pics)
  • Whitetail Woods (Just a large forest biome. Once this is done, Cloudsdale can be made)
EDIT: As of 1:35PM this is what we have done:
 Pretty much every house in Ponyville is made, along with the Windmill.

[New Features] Pony Types!

With the creation of a slightly unscaled Equestria, I have added different permission groups for different ponies. So instead of Default and Admin permissions, there are now Humans, Earth ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, and Alicorns. Human is the default and Alicorn is the admin. Earth ponies can plant trees of special types. Unicorns can cast spells that they learn from books and such. Pegasi can fly.

To become a pony, tell me ingame or in a comment below. Or both.

[Mod] Mine Little Pony

 
For those of you who don't know what this is, it is a Minecraft mod that re-skins everyone as a pony. Unfortunately, it is not Spoutcraft compatible. I have spent an hour and a half now trying to get it to work, but it just doesn't. If you want, you can try getting a 1.1 version of regular vanilla Minecraft then mod that.

Overall it's extra effort until the mod creator makes a Spoutcraft version. If you still want to check it out here is the forum post.
