That Retro Vidya Blog

Just thought I'd post a little something.
So, this weekend, we hosted another Brony meet-up in Swindon. It wasn't all that big, but it was fun nonetheless. We spent our time together chilling out, sharing tales and telling jokes. At the end of the day, we climbed up a closed-down multi-storey Car park, and ate marsh mellows and drank soda as we watched the moon rise.
Then we noticed a Mini driving up a building.



Thought I'd share that with you.

Yup, as of today, it's filtered at my Sixth Form. Luckily, I know a way around said filtering (Go freedoms!), but that's not the reason I'm concerned.
It's more so the reason it was filtered that's concerning me.
Here's a closer look.




Yup. We're a pron site now, everypony.
The end is nigh.

^Found on MLPA :333

H-H-HOW!?
Is... Is Dashie okay?

*Dead*

Just thought I'd announce this's a thing now. And. I. LOVE IT.

So here- have some pictures from about the place! These ones aren't so organised, but are pictures from random events.

Spoiler: ...

The Artist's corner, looking a little quiet here...


QandA panel for Electronic musicians. Bitta Tombstone in there.


Mmm. Gets pretty difficult to breathe in there, from time to time.


Looking down a few floors, to a few of the the Auction items.


Looking down at the Chill-out area. On the first floor, there were always loads'a people playing a My Little Pony card game... I really need to grab myself a deck 'o that. Also, autographs were being given in that lil' room down at the end. (Didn't get any though)

Ooh, look- A Lunar Eclipse!


A blurry-as picture from a sorta lil' disco. There was a little soft-moshing and such. :3


Some pretty nice performances in the Auditorium, s'well


On day 2, we had a nice little Brawl Tournament! I didn't win, sadface. ((


Ah, and we had some My Little Karaoke!

Unfortunately, I forgotted to get a picture with the Everypudlians I met (Tyro and Yeti. Sorry I missed ya, Poetic and Chippikins!)

Well. Here's what I had to lug back home afterwards!

Very happy with my plushies, especially Rainbow Dash. CAN'T. STOP. HUGGING.
Otherwise, I've gotten some adorable prints to stick on my wall, a cute Funko Pop and some recruits for my brushable army! Got a few other bits n' bobs too~

Anyway, I've had a Fantastic time at Buck this year! (Despite horrific complications getting back, involving a vending machine, a delayed train and some flickering lights distracting me while watching Adventure Time.) I didn't think I'd say this, but eh- I'm definitely gonna be back to stock up on Pony next year!!
See ya at BUCK 2014!!

So, I've finally decided to upload a few pictures. Not very good pictures, but pictures. I didn't get many good pictures of the events... but eh.

Spoiler: ...

The venue. The queue was pretty dang long, so we were stood out there for some time. Eventually, things got moving though.






My favourite part of the convention was probably the Merch floor. SO. MUCH. TO. BUY. I usually found myself at the Mareplay stalls, but some plushies and prints caught my eye.


Met some pretty awesome Cosplayers while we were there, too~







Aaaaaaand Fursuiters!





It's always creepy when fursuiters take off their masks, y'know...
Anyways, I'll post the rest of the pics in my next post!! Gimme a sec!
Edit; You can find some other pics HERE!

SHE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.
All this needs now is socks. Lotsa socks. ​

Apparently, this's expected to be released... at some point. Yes, this will possibly become a thing.

Somebody hold me. I'm crying.
Please be a US exclusive...

On a lighter note;



Have some Doctor Whooves wearing some neon socks- Or something like that.
Ooh, I hope we get a Pony-Socks wave of Blindbags. :33

So, this's a thing now apparently. "Only at Argos"- I'll just be avoiding Argos then...
I don't know what to think about this one.... She... Kinda looks like a pig. It's pretty horrific stuff.

On the up-side though;



Now. That's some cuteness, right there. :3
Their heads are so gigantic! I'd buy these thingehs.

So, there's this short, eight question questionnaire I need to be filled and it'd be wonderful if you could please fill it for me!!

It'll take about three minutes, perhaps...

Thanks a tonne- If you do it, I'll have a glomp waiting for ya. :3

So, what do you guys think? Because that looks almost like an Alicorn Twilight to me.

What do you think?

Ooh, and found this the other day, too.

In the fandoms mission to squeeze pony into every nook and cranny of your life, it's just about to penetrate yet another area of your every day routine with the forceful, fearsome wrath of My Little ponies, and within the next year. Beware; Mimobot has released some juicy information on these Ponyfied memory sticks! Though their site has not been updated with details on these new designs yet, it is known that these cuties will be released some time in 2013. It'll be kind of strange pulling the top of Rainbow Dash's head off, revealing a hollow lid and a USB connector, but I can't wait to add some of these nifty characterized gadgets to my collection!
They'll be purchasable at www.mimoco.com, Mimobots website, and will be available in sizes between 8GB – 128GB, a pretty nice amount of storage to work with when you proudly pull out your shiny, colourful buddy from within your pocket, in the middle of the study area.
Well, it seems like the perfect place to store a portable Pony Stash, and I know I'm likely to be grabbing one as soon as it's released! But until then, we shall have to wait...

Thought I'd show y'all, y'know. I'm quite happy with how it's gone, though the body seems too short

MLP News says this's been found in Toys 'R' Us and Target. I guess it must be exclusive to America then. Y'know, sometimes, American exclusives can cause difficulty for collectors else where, but in this case... You guys keep her. :3

So yeah, that's horrific.

So, I found this pretty Shinning armour brushable!!



Acording to sources (MLPA), it's unknown whether this'll be a future release or if it's just some prototype, but we can only hope, eh?
Here's it compared to the last release;


I can't wait to brush his beautiful mane.
