Someone from The Ocean Group, or Frank Welker. That's my bet for Somber's VA. :P

SO just saw the HD preview and noticed something totally insignificant where is Pinkie's rope hanging from?

Hey, new flash pony game from futzi01 is out. (The guy who did Canterlot Siege, amongst others.) This one is a bit like angry birds but with Spike and Rarity.

It's Pinkie, there is no answer to that question.

Also, for some reason I think Somber should be voiced by Christopher Sabat. I don't know why.

Watched the clip: it looks like it's gonna be good.

King Somber's spell hitting the crystal pony when she tried to talk was surprisingly creepy.

But the big news is... there were two more ponies with archery cms! Maybe Straight Arrow is actually a Crystal Pony? Nah, not really.

@Mousa: That would be why she fell down. It's like in those old loony tunes episodes where the characters run off a clip, but don't fall until they look down.

How about Mark Hamill? He can do great bad guy voice.

Ah, I experience Mark before, mainly through Laputa: Castle in the Sky

Without a doubt he can do a great villain voice.

@Bluespade: It reminds me of the Sons of the Patriots.

I remember that happened in "Applebuck Season" too. Pinkie poked her head down from the top of the screen long enough for her to say "Apple-tastic!" before falling.

Somber should totally be voiced by me

The Skybox of course! Just like that one guy in The B Lind Bandit.

The rope is hanging fom an invisible Pinkie, who's hanging from an invisible Pinkie who's hanging from an invisible Pinkie, all the way up to the clouds, where a super-strong invisible Pinkie is standing on a cloud because she wants to.

Ahoy again. Ireland got beat 6-1 by Germany, and I be sorta sad.

Until I saw the clip properly though. That cheered me right up!

I am VERY glad that the clip was posted in a format that doesn't include a laughing audience, because despite being a Spoiler Hound, I didn't want to watch the con clip since Mio and others made their warnings about it having a noisy, laughing audience, and that would inevitably annoy me too much to be able to watch the clip.

So I watched the clean version, and this is probably really obvious, but I bet King Somber is the reason the Crystal ponies are so gloomy. Pinkie was funny as always, too. I'm also going to guess that she will at least try to do something to cheer everyone up. Whether or not that would even work would be another question.

I thought Germany's rivalry was with the English team?

Germany hates everyone. Remember both World Wars?

Technically Germany only started one of the World Wars. Austria instigated the first one. Germany was only an ally of it but was also the one everyone remembers due to it pulling most of the more well-known weight.

Since my first attempt at showing off this crappy Chrysalis lineart was buried in S3 hype, here it is again.

I want new vilalain to be voiced by any actor who played Magneto. (No mater if animated or live action).

Am I the only person who thinks King Somber looks like Scar from the Lion King?

I once found a comic that said he looked like "Scar and one of those [Trolls] from Homestuck gangbanged a horse."

Once said? King Somber hasn't been out long as I understand it.

Been around since this◊ nameless Early-Bird Cameo from Hasbro's Pony Wedding Quiz page earlier this year. You gotta wonder just why they decided to have King Somber be one of the choices for "Who should be the MC?"

Here is the comic in question, but it features an over-the-top racist character.

Two◊ more◊ retailer-exclusive variant covers by Amy Mebberson for IDW comic book Issue #1—this brings its total up to 12!
