When it comes to designing an original character non-artistic Bronies often turn to tools such as the (in)famous Pony Creator. While those usually had tons of customizable attributes their output was somewhat unsatisfactory,  giving each character an extremely generic pose that was easily recognizable and often the subject of mockery from those who actually took the time to draw their OCs. However a new pony designer tool has turned up, with the main purpose of creating web avatars, and unlike most it features animation and a somewhat less generic pose.

Does the Pony Avatar Creator manage to break the mould, or is it just another crappy pony creator? For our full opinion on the game, continue reading after the break.

When I wake up every morning I look out my window and say, "Alas, the farming simulator is truly dead". Then, I scurry away with catlike tread (in order to avoid waking my brother), trip over a couple dinky cars and crash to the floor with a yell, waking up the entire family every morning. For centuries I have longed that at least one of these steps might be made unnecessary to lighten my daily commute, and it seems that finally my prayers have been answered. For out of the depths of the night comes Cherry Sorter, riding a white horse and playing a trumpet with a $2 price tag, to save me from the first step of my horrendous plight. With it's exclusive Android cherry-picking ways and utterly astonishing depiction of life on a cherry ranch I have been freed from my plight, and now spend the entire morning playing this wonderful masterpiece of wondrousness .

So now, I beg leave of you to play this game some more, as should you. If you own a newfangled Android phone, this game should work right out of the box, but it took me a couple hours to get it working on my trusty (and completely indestructible) Nokia phone. So long, and farewell!

At Equestria Gaming we pride ourselves on being the #1 source for My Little Pony fangames (at least, we hope so!). But as you might have noticed, lately we've slowed down somewhat (not in speed, we're highly optimized when it comes to speed and SEO). Was the current generation of authors going the way of Strawberry Spice? Nope! We've just been preparing something really awesome that we hope you all enjoy.

Introducting the Equestria Gaming Arcade, a place where you can access all of your favourite online MLP fangames in one easy website, with even more on the way! We have classics such as Story of the Blanks, Super Filly Adventure, along with enjoyable minigames like Catch the Scootaloos, Derpy Hooves sweet dreams, and the ultimate cure for boredom, Waiting is Magic! Pretty much any browser-based game is supported, so if you have any Adobe Flash, HTML5, Javascript or Unity3D games then feel free to submit them to us.

Anyhow, the arcade is located at http://arcade.equestriagaming.net/, and currently features 8 games (more are in the pipeline!). The features are not completely final yet either, we plan on adding a ratings system in the near future and maybe some extra eyecandy for those with modren browsers. Enjoy!

Since apparently some of you have been constantly bugging Negation Squared about another video update for Friendship is Fragging, they gave in to your whining and were forced to release one for you. So go on, watch it! And don't blame me if it's really boring, because you were the ones who clamoured for it!

Just kidding, it's not that bad of an update, although it's pretty evident that the team has been focusing most of it's attention on MLP: Rise of Vicis and not so much on Friendship is Fragging.  I'm fine with the FiF being delayed as long as they're still working on RoV, which in my eyes is a far more interesting project.

...And now for a piece of somewhat related news. Negation Squared has announced that they plan on releasing a demo for MLP:RoV in June, which I am really looking forward to. Let's just hope it doesn't fall into development hell, eh?

Well folks, this commercial recently aired on the Hub. Now, pony commercials air all the time on the Hub, so what would warrant this one a post on Equestria Gaming? Simple, this one features Pinkie Pie playing an 8-bit game based on the adventures of the Mane 6!

Now, somepony make an actual version of this game QUICK!

A while back I was able to play an early version of a game called Pony Room, which was a fairly basic online chat-centered game made with Flash. I didn't post anything on it at the time, but now the author has put up a brief preview of the game and I no longer have any excuse to refrain from posting this.

And yes, I know it looks rather plain and boring (and frankly the preview doesn't demonstrate that much), but the creator is wanting some help with this game of his(namely testers, animators and coders). In case you're interested you can email him at serger100@gmail.com to apply.

Now we don't normally give mods a separate post here on Equestria Gaming, but this is somewhat of an exception. After all, who doesn't want to fling chubby little ponies at equally chubby changeling queens in their wee fortresses? This mod lets you do just that, and only a simple Google Chrome/Firefox plugin is needed to play (sorry users of other browsers!). It is still a work in progress, but I'm sure that you'll enjoy it anyways. So hit up the link above and take a look at the mod, then perhaps give it a try, ok?

Also, this isn't the first fandom that has made an Angry Birds-type game. The Portal fandom also did it with Aperture Birds, which you can find at http://www.moddb.com/games/aperture-birds and is far better in my personal opinion.
