Segways

"Planes" was released this month. By which I mean the animated Disney movie, not planes themselves which were released over a hundred years ago. Although some were released before then but they went straight to the ground, making them less 'planes' and more 'weights with wings on them'.


The movie follows Pixar's animated movie 'Cars'. Not so much in storytelling but in the ability to make money. Is it harsh to criticise a movie studio for wanting to make money from a movie? Yes. Until your kids asks you to see it. Suddenly, that's your money and 90 minutes of your life handed over to a film that includes the line "Oh, for flying out loud."

When I heard about this movie I made the joke everyone made. "Hey Disney!" I said. "I've got a great idea for a movie! It's about a boat that wants to be the best boat but all the other boats tell him to give up, until he wins best boat competition! I don't have a title yet."

All my friends joined in with their own idea. "Segways" was one I liked. I pitched the name "Seggers Wayward" for the main character. Then before I knew it, I had this poster drawn up of the whole cast. We all may have made the same joke in the beginning, but I'm the only one who took it too far.

Pokémon Fusion: Shellchop vs Mudra

Looks like I wasn't done with the Pokémon thing. Not sure what you're looking at? Maybe I need to explain "Pokémon Fusion". Meanwhile those who already know can head on down to the cool club and I'll catch up with you later.

A web developer called Alex Onsager developed a website where you can 'fuse' two different Pokémon together and make completely new ones. The images used on the website are the little pixelated spirtes from the games, so a trend developed amongst geeky artists where they'd fully illustrated the results. This is mine.

I read people were making fusions before that particular website was around, but this is the point where I got on board. I don't know if there are rules, if we were supposed to draw the first fusion we got. I just kept clicking "random" until I found something I like. And even then, I kept on clicking 'cos you just get some damn nice (or laugh-out-loud ridiculous) results. "Shellchop" and "Mudra" are the ones that stuck for me.

I was a little wary of taking part in what is essentially a meme, so I decided to go a bit different and have them battling. That's why we like the game in the first place, right?
