Moot goes to world's most extreme lengths to delete internet history


Every one of us can sympathize with wanting to destroy your internet history. I'm sure that most of you are reading Horse News through an incognito window, and may even have multiple twitter accounts so that you don't get caught following us and setting off the block-bots. Especially in an age where the FBI will sue Apple into unlocking your iPhone, it's understandable that some people will go to insane lengths to covering their tracks online. Christopher "Moot" Poole, clearly has gone to the world's most extreme lengths to delete his internet history FOREVER and gotten himself hired at Google.

Gameloft app uses fanmade fonts...and we're not sure why (potentially old confusing news)


Okay everyone, try to stay with us on this one.
Earlier this evening, a fan known as VideoGameGet decided to move the widely popular Gameloft "My Little Pony" video game for tablets (the one that drains families of shekels) onto his Windows operating system. And then he began digging through folders. What he found was somewhat shocking...but really more just deeply confusing.

HN is #2 - begins plans for Pimped Out News Van

For over 6 months now, people have been saying that "Horse News is shit". And they are right.
Today, HN is officially "Number 2". Thanks to you, our inexplicable audience, HN is now the second-largest source for MLP fan-news on the planet, after our friends at EQD. This news has of course gone straight to our heads and we plan to clean up our act immediately, the only way that we can; by going on a drinking binge and pimping out a news van.

Tweetdeck security flaw triggered by Brony?


Step aside Pinkie Pie, there's a new pony-avatar hacker in town, and this time it's a Flutterfag. Well maybe not a hacker, but a brony who exposed/exploited a security flaw nonetheless.

Today, according to the Washington Post, a twitter user by the name of @derGruhn made a tweet, that was retweeted by "more than 40,000 twitter users automatically".
Here's what went down apparently.

Watch Dogs gets /mlp/ Easter Egg (Also Odds and Ends - Pony Videos, Abe Lincoln, and IDW jokes)



Throughout the course of a day or week, we often come across little bits of shit here and there that in no way warrant their own posts. So tonight out of boredom, we've decided to compile some of the little odds and ends together into a post for you to peruse over. Arranged from least to most important, finishing off with the /mlp/ Easter Egg in the game "Watch Dogs".

Hiro Mashima shows pony appreciation, also Xbox did a thing


Yesterday on Twitter, Japanese manga artist Hiro Mashima, tweeted a photo of a hoard of brand new My Little Pony toys, along with a bunch of moonspeak Japanese characters, which Google Translate informs us reads "I had lots of Pony Goods. Thank You.". And he isn't  the only one to let his pony flag fly.

Brony Aerospace and Interview with CEO Trennick Walker


At some point did you think this ride was going to end? Now it never will! Thanks to the efforts of Brony Aerospace the ride will soar on in to infinity and beyond. We even got to sit down to talk with head of the project Trennick Walker (aka Alistair Apogee) and learned what we can expect from a fandom that's gotten so out of hand that it's gotten it's very own space agency.

The Best RPG You Will Ever See. EVER.

The following comes from the Submission box from a guy named Ghostly Hamburger. If you have an article you would like to submit to Horse-News, submit it here.


The comedy writes itself on THIS one.

Kickstarter.
The place where people ask for money for new fan projects. One of these new projects is truly incredible: The Pony Wars

Equestrian Dreamers "My Little Investigations" - it's like Ace Attourney - but with hooves



Somehow, against all odds, one of the rarest events in the fandom has occurred: a quality pony fan-built game was actually brought to fruition, and it combines three of our favorite things: Ace-Attorney style investigations, pastel horses, and modability. Is modability a word? Fuck it, is now. Its name is "My Little Investigations" and the first case is downloadable for play now.
Anyway check out some of the info below.

Horse News is coming everywhere, anyway you want to take us

You heard the man.

Over the past few months, HN has grown quite a bit. In fact we're positively swelling. So much in fact that we have started getting blocked by certain institutions under pretext of vulgar language (where as other sites are being blocked due to pornography). Hey, no argument there. But, it would be a shame if you were unable to get your hourly fix of our garbage, JUST because the site is blocked at your elementary school. (I'm talking to YOU Jimmy. Just wait till you get home so you can use the internet with adult supervision.)

Luckily, we checked our calendars, and this is the fucking future, where there is no need to miss anything ever for any reason. Thanks to our dedicated team of hard-hitting high-impact sexy action news reporters, you can get HN bile just about everywhere now. Like where you ask?
Well take a look:

Pony Games Spotlight: The Underworld's Cello

Welcome to the first Pony Games spotlight of (hopefully) many. In these articles I'll bring to light every week games or mods that are horse related and noteworthy. Whether they be funny, challenging, or laughably awful, I'll most likely talk about them in these spotlights. 

For this spotlight in particular I'm also trying to raise some awareness for this pretty amazing game. God knows it deserves it.


Super Smash Ponies seeks Voice Actresses and Animators


So apparently Fighting is Magic isn't the only pony fighting game project around. Or at least that is the hope. Super Smash Ponies, a fan project that has been in production since 2012, and largely hasn't been heard from in almost half a year, is seeking animators and voice actors/actresses for the game.

Multiple websites down - Fimfiction, /mlp/ archive UPDATED

The final hours of February bring with it, a few final fighting kicks to the fandom. Over the course of the day, and at the time of printing, at least 2 major websites for the community have gone down; Fimfiction.net, and the /mlp/ archive.

FlamingoRich is a crook (UPDATE)

Rich off your shekels
There's a few things on the ride that have been come to be accepted as absolute facts. Tara Strong is a tease, Autism is our second language, Rarity is worst pony, FinalDraft is a bitch, and Double Rainboom was garbage on many different levels. But with recent developments behind the scene since it's sudden removal, it appears another fact could be rising to the surface.

FlamingoDick is a crook.

4chan Janitor Applications open soon


For the first time in many months, Christopher "Moot" Poole (or as his homies call him "CP") will be opening applications for new Janitors on 4chan. What does this mean for /mlp/? It means we're getting a new Scruffy, and it might be you!

Tara Strong AMA at 3pm EST (Noon PST)


At 3pm EST today, or 12-noon PST, Tara Strong; the voice of Twilight Sparkle as well as everything else in the world it seems, will be doing an AMA on *leReddit. An AMA, for those who don't know stands for "Ask Me Anything" and is really a Q&A session. If you have questions, or would simply like to inform Tara that you would like to lick her armpits, we've included a link to the area where the AMA will be found.
