What got my attention on this Cheezburger video is the cat’s pupil:

Freakish or funny? I dunno!

So, I spent yet another very productive evening doing this:

Cockatiel vs Chocobo Improved Edition

XSportSeeker — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 07:12:04 +0000

A slightly improved version of the Final Fantasy Cockatiel videos!

Video edition by yours truly.

The idea came to me when I was writting the post with the Cockatiel vs Chocobo video, which I found on some Kotaku post’s comments.
Original videos and the animated gif that inspired me are there.

Oh, and Cockatiel’s Victory Fanfare:

During research, I also found this video from TehAznLife:

Original plan was to make an even more enhanced version: Battle sound effects, game sprites (for can damage), battle menu with “Chocobo Can” as enemy, death animations and some World Map Chocobo running as intro.

Problem was that after hours searching, I couldn’t find the proper sprites, sound effect files and fonts… and it’d take too long to make an extraction process and edition using Photoshop and stuff.

Maybe I could do a better job if I had the game modding skills of this guy who hacked the game to include a Weegee Boss Battle (ROFL):

I decided to simplify things and do the edition as fast (and simple) as I could… I have this bad habit of abandoning projects that takes too long to complete.

I chose Final Fantasy III music because, well, it’s my favorite soundtrack (yeah, I’m an oldschool gamer).

But if my edition didn’t meet your expectations, I’m shure some insane japanese Final Fantasy fan will do (or has already done) something WAY better… xD

Non-Linear Edition made with Sony Vegas Movie Studio.

Real Bird Attacks Chocobo!

Looks like this bird don’t like Chocobos much.
Or maybe it’s owner gave some of that nasty FFXIII “elixir” drink.

Or the bird really really liked that can.

Anyways, the commenting system of source Kotaku (and other Gawker sites) provides a nice platform for creative comments such as this gif edit from Ryvaeus:

Chocobo Hate Damage

Knut – Polar Bear

XSportSeeker — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:24:34 +0000

Remember back in 2007, when a baby polar bear who was abandoned by it’s mother at birth rocked the world with controversy if it where to live raised by humans?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBLizhD_0R4

Well, here are some of his cute videos for you to watch.

One environmentalist group voiced their opinnion saying the cub should be put down because it wouldn’t be able to survive and adapt to a normal life, and thus it’s fame begin with mass media coverage and tons of protests to keep him alive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ6zJrnJNCo

Seems it was the first polar bear cub to survive without it’s mother in more than 30 years at the Berlin Zoo.
Not shure if this one is also from Knut, but looks like him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i5VVk4ojF4

Knut is now a much less cute grown polar bear, and zookeepers and people are discussing on what to do to train him for a life in the wild. Lawsuits involving the people who created Knut and the zoo also happened, which is kinda expected for stuff that gets famous.
Read more about it at the Wikipedia entry on Knut.
