Diablo III’s My Little Pony filled hidden stage

Diablo III Hidden Stage Filled with My Little Pony Unicorns

It’s a bit of a tradition for Blizzard games to have a secret hidden level included and with this week’s launch of Diablo III that hidden level has been revealed as “Whimsyshire” where the hero encounters enemies that are flowers, teddy bears and unicorns in a world filled with rainbows. The unicorns looks a bit like My Little Pony characters.

Looking at the internal data of the game, the names that these unicorns have are sometimes similar to some My Little Pony names. Check out the full list below:

1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_A Pink Rainbow Unicorn
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_A_Unique_01 Midnight Sparkle
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_A_Unique_02 Maulin Sorely
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_A_Unique_03 Miss Hell
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_A_Unique_04 Killaire
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_A_Unique_05 R’Lyeh
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_B Purple Rainbow Unicorn
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_B_Unique Nightmarity
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_B_Unique_01 Nightmarity
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_C_Unique_01 Princess Stardust
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_Fat_A Chubby Pink Unicorn
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_Fat_A_Unique_01 Creampuff
1.0.1.9558 TentacleHorse_Fat_B Chubby Purple Unicorn

Midnight Sparkle is an obvious reference to Twilight Sparkle and Nightmarity bears some similarity to Rarity.

BronyCon: The Documentary Details

BronyCon: The documentary

We’ve got more details about John de Lancie’s My Little Pony documentary that was announced at Ottawa Comiccon last weekend. The documentary will be called “BronyCon: The Documentary”. Check out this video introduction to the idea.

The documentary will be filmed at the BronyCon convention at the end of June near New York. John de Lancie will be front and center in the documentary, as he looks at the world of My Little Pony fans. If this succeeds, we could be looking at our fandom’s equivalent to Trekkies. The film will be directed by Laurent Malaquais and it’s executive producers are John de Lancie and Michael Brockhoff.

John de Lancie to do a documentary about My Little Pony fans

John de Lancie at Ottawa Comiccon announcing My Little Pony documentary

I was at Ottawa Comiccon today where John de Lancie, the voice of Discord, made an annoucement. As we mentioned on our twitter page, he will be doing a documentary on Bronies, My Little Pony fans. He said he was bothered by how disrespectful the portrayal of fans has been in the media and wants to set the record straight.

It wasn’t specified to what extent De Lancie’s involvement will be. Is this his documentary? Will he narrate and star in it? It sounds like this could be the My Little Pony fandom’s version of Trekkies.

Stephen Colbert gives another shout out to My Little Pony fans

Stephen Colbert does a horse ridding motion as he gives a shout out to "Bronies", My Little Pony fans

Last year Stephen Colbert gave a shout out to My Little Pony fans. In last night’s show, April 9th 2012, he has done it again as he gives a shout out to “all my Bronies”. He goes on to say that he doesn’t know what it means, but that there are some excited nieces out there.

Here’s the clip, recorded by someone who apparently still has a CRT TV:

A poster at the AnandTech message board shares his full account of what lead to the shout out. As he explains, the topic of bronies came up during the warm up, and he mentioned that his niece was into the show.

Americans can watch this episode of the Colbert report on the Comedy Central web site.

mc chris releases My Little Pony song for April fools day

MC Pee Pants

mc chris has released a great My Little Pony song for his fans this April fools day. He also transformed his website as well as his facebook and twitter pages to be My Little Pony themed.

A lot of videos for the song have popped up online, including this one:

DerpyHoovesNews.com has a screenshot of what mc chris’s site looked like on the 1st. His site is currently down, likely due to heavy traffic following this stunt.

Thanks to Stephen Clavelli for bringing this one to my attention.

Fox Trot comic references My Little Pony

Fox Trot for April 1st 2012 References My Little Pony

Today’s Fox Trot comic is a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic reference. The comic includes Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Twilight Sparkle. The joke is that Game of Thrones crosses over with My Little Pony. Game of Thrones just played, and naturally no such thing happened. If you like the comic, you might want to get a print.

Could Bill Amend be a My Little Pony fan? Is Fox Trot the only funny comic still printed in newspapers? Who knows…

Thanks to Sindra for the heads up.
