Pokémon vs. Same-Weight Animals – 3D Comparison

If Pokémon existed in the wild, which animals would be in their weight class? We used the Pokédex to find the exact weights of 11 of our favorite Pokémon, and then we matched them up in a 3D comparison with animals that share the same weights. Pokémon size doesn’t factor in to the calculations —…

Pokémon size doesn’t factor in to the calculations — it’s all about their weights and how the animals would match up to them in nature. What would happen to a Pokemon in real life if it came across its counterpart? Would Pikachu and a Sphynx cat be friends, and if not… who would win in battle?

  @@EnmaSatoruExcept the one Proffesor Oak gives Ash is completely blank. He even makes a big spiel about having Ash go out and discover new creatures in a thinly veiled attempt to nail his mom and trick him into performing child labor under the guise of a fun quest. The themes and gameplay loops are even based around this sick and twisted crap. You’ve gotta catch em all so you can catalog them(i.e. do the professors job for them) and you bankroll the entire endeavor via DMX style dog fighting. I’d rather let my kids play Postal than whatever the sick and depraved minds at Nintendo churn out.

*Steelix*

  Pretty sure 400kg / 881.8lb is much less than a house. Even if the steelix is mega evoulved, that would still only be 740kg / 1,631.4lb, still a miniature fraction of the weight of the average house, several thousand pounds at least. That aside, you’re actually accurate on describing the length; 9.2m / 30’02”, or 10.5m / 34’05” if mega evolved, is juuust the range of yacht specifications. And on power… aight, if you say so

How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever. With professional-grade setups costing up to…

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

The $68 Million Instant Movie Disaster (Polavision)

Nearly 50 years ago, the Polavision camera blended Polaroid’s revolutionary instant film with on-demand home video – and the result was a landmark advance in analog technology that would become a mystery of science and a winding international journey into vintage tech. Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and…

Because now, generations after Edwin Land bet his half-century legacy of innovation and the company he founded on the success of the Polavision, I need to figure out how to get the thing to work… and only one man in the world could help me.

I traveled to Vienna, Austria to meet Florian “Doc” Kaps – the man behind ‘The Impossible Project’ that saved Polaroid from the dustbin of history. With his guidance and his private store of old Polaroid video tapes, perhaps I would be able to record a modern YouTube video with my vintage Polavision camera.

Through it all, Doc immersed me into his world of analog technology and the philosophy behind his mission to re-integrate analog into our daily lives. We cut lacquer records, we felt the fires of an analog restaurant, and we spent too much time trying to resurrect a relic of the past – because technology, vintage and modern, is all about people.
