Commander Shepard Meets My Little Pony in Pony Effect 2

The suicide mission faced by the crew of the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 doesn't seem nearly as threatening when it looks like this.

I'm not sure what it is about Hasbro's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that makes it pure gold for mashups with darker, more serious series. Perhaps it's the expressive, colorful animation, or perhaps it's simply the inherent silliness of adorable humanized ponies discussing matters of life and death.

Either way, it worked to fantastic effect with the Skyrim trailer [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/108127-Take-a-Ride-to-Skyrim-on-My-Little-Pony], and as you can see here it fares just as well when set against the audio from Mass Effect 2.

This trailer manages the very unique feat of making me want to both play Mass Effect 2 and watch My Little Pony, preferably simultaneously. Though I fear that might lead to some rather crossed wires - I could spend ages trying to customize my Shepard before realizing that there's no option for "cute little magical symbol on the butt."

Or is there?

Keep the My Little Pony mashups coming, folks, because they're still hilarious. Potential suggestions: Pony of War; Halo: Pony Evolved; Final Pontasy XIII; Deux Ex: Equestrian Revolution.

But this one is pretty good too.

I must admit I thought this was pretty hilarious.

Also I finally manage to watch an episode of MLP. Overall not bad definitely better than some of CN's shows, but I have no idea why everyone is going crazy for it. Then again I tend to dislike many things the internet hypes.

Quick question: how is this news?
It was funny, but why is this particular video game parody special?

I really want to know what made /co/ and SA latch onto this show so eagerly, but am not curious enough to actually watch it myself (I use up my seasonal allowance of HURR DURR KIDDY CARTOONS on something else [http://serie.wakfu.com/en]). Oh well.

Because Mass Effect is awesome? I dunno, Mr. Funk just informed us (which i believe, that's what news are for) about a little something I was not aware existed. And it is awesome (like Mass-effect-awesome)!

This is brilliant, really well put together. More of these should be made, not necessarily with "my little pony" though.
