Summer 2013 Day 22 : Equestria Girls - Movie tomorrow, awful Bratz knockoff toys today

Why Equestria Girls simply had to release this week, and promptly run over by Man of Steel, I have no idea... but here it is, opening in ultra limited release tomorrow (June 16th). But it's not coming out alone.

- Late yesterday night the GameLoft My Little Pony game reduced Rarity' s gem cost by half, meaning I finally added her to my Ponyville at long last. Storywise it means nothing since I have been stuck on Scootaloo' s mission forever but... maybe I will make progress soon. Anyway hopefully late tonight the Equestria Girls update finally happens... maybe.

- Today online stores began selling Equestria Girls dolls. Inconsistent articulation (Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy having articulation that Rarity and Pinkie Pie don't), horrifically thin body molds, unappealing designs and unimaginative clothes... instant fail.

Mind you I an not totally down on Equestria Girls stuff. Show me Equestria Girls comics and well made blind bags and you got my attention. Otherwise... not so much.

Updates to come once the big update is done on the My Little Pony game, and the first reviews of Equestria Girls begin rolling in, stay tuned.

Summer 2013 Day 20 : T-Minus 3 Days to Equestria Girls... where is my GameLoft game update.

Don't get me started on the whole Sunday ultra limited release of the first Friendship is Magic movie... which actually isn't a Friendship is Magic movie as much as its the pilot episode of Equestria Girls. It's coming, we'll know more next week once spoilers come out, it will be the only pony until November that isn't IDW comics or audio dramas. Ok. Whatever. Now gimme the newest update to GameLoft's village SIM game.

This game hads been going for about 7 months and counting, yet this is the second big update in seven months not counting updates to patch bugs or lower outrageous Premium currency (gems) prices, which apparently is supposed to happen again with this update.

Three big updates past that is a few new ponies, most of which can be bought with easily grindable coins including Equestria Girls New new villain pony Sunset Shimmer.

Octavia relocates to Canterlot, adding another pony to the rather low yet growing pony count of Canterlot. Finally pony adds the newest gimmick of movie slash tv village SIM tie in games by adding a theater to Canterlot, a theater that plays ads. However unlike those other theaters, this one is supposed to pay you in premium currency gems, a rarity since past ad modes paid unsurprisingly paltry payouts for watching ads... if this turns out to be true it may make the game easier to play and enjoy, especially if it makes acquiring Rarity and Rainbow Dash easier. All we need now is a way to earn heart credits not dependent on the woefully broken social online community, or heart credits removed outright if Gameloft cant fix its broken social network.

All we need is for it to update, and according to Equestria Daily it's supposed to be out today, only it has been hours and still waiting on the update. I heard the theater update is having problems so they may be holding this update back until that is fixed. Also the game server seems to have been going down infrequently during the last few days, another sign no doubt of the upcoming update.

Stay tuned for an update once it happens and I had a chance to try out the new update.
