Notch to Watch My Little Pony


Notch made a little deal that if bronies out-generous him he'll watch several episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Wellllll...


Notch's reply came through a few minutes later:


It seems that not only have your generous donations lead to us being the first contribution to ever exceed $9000 on a Humble Indie Bundle, but you have also forced poor Notch into watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Will he ever be the same?! Thinking back about how much I loved my first two nights absorbing every episode that had been aired... I'm almost kinda jealous. :D

I'll have a real Bundle Wrap Up later today. For now, keep on donating!! You guys are making me so proud!

    This blog is too classy to make an over 9000 reference.

    Sorry, Cedric, but in my personal opinion the meme has become so tired so long ago that it's swung back around to being smirk-inducing. Don't worry, it won't stay at $9001 indefinitely...

    Oh, you cad. We're over $10000 for this bundle, aren't we? We're pretty definitely over $10000 total (you haven't updated the picture yet) but making a brony out of Notch seems to be pretty much the perfect incentive to get a ridiculous amount of donations here. I bet you're having a pretty good morning.

    I went to sleep last night before Notch dropped this donation and now when I boot the computer I see this? Well done bronies. I sent another 50USD donation, even if we already beat Notch to the punch.

    Not even 24 hours after Notch strikes, and the HBB DOUBLES itself. Absolutely incredible. I'll almost be shocked if we can't double up Notch in the last run.

    Here, I'll try to get off my flank and donate the retail price. This looks like a fantastic cause, and there's nothing like getting a chance to rub it in Notch's face.

    Go bronies! Surpassing nine thousand dollars is only the beginning!

    Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you that once we get past 9k, that you would donate exactly 9001 to be...
    OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND!!!

    But it seems you already thought of that. Awesome.

    Also, hoh mah gawd, over 14k? That's kind of ridiculously amazing.

    Aaaaaaaaw Yeah, this is the time I am most proud of being a brony heh, but that seriously was scary, we doubled the total of money from the beginning in just a night, that was kinda some dragon ball time room training cheat lol.

    Over $16,000! Congratulations everypony, Notch's little gambit brought out the charity in force (and might make a brony out of Notch yet!)

    Now let's prepare the list of episodes for Notch to see. We need to select the best few, let's say from Season 1, i think it will be: the pilot, Dragonshy, Winter Wrap Up, Sonic Rainboom, Best Night Ever. That's "a few".

    I feel like we should set up a special livestream mare-athon for Notch to attend.

    It appears that you were successful. Notch said he's not a "Brony", but he does like the show!
