From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

If you're a fan of Sins of a Solar Empire, you may have seen the game achievement "Space Ponies" in the achievements list.  The origin of the pony is a long tale to tell.  Suffice it to say, it's a joke from early in the Sins of a Solar Empire beta test that grew and took on a life of it's own, and became a bit of a forum favorite joke.

Turns out that one of the guys in the Sins community makes custom embroidered hats.  PoorManDSO (www.darkstaroutpost.com) had a few of the hats made up and sent them to us here at Stardock.  Of course, being the goofballs that we are, we decided that there needed to be some photo proof of the hats....

So thanks to PoorManDSO for the hat!  Word has it that while just the pink is available, more colors are coming in the future!

Bag heads of the world unite! Great hats guys. So much so I made sure that a pink pony would go right onto the Zoomba. As the pink pony preacher it only made sense. Were it up to him Pink Space Pony goes on all things media.
