“Fandoms” Musical from AVByte

Hiya, Fluffsters!

So. I think I’ve mentioned the AVByte Brother’s work before.

Maybe not. I don’t quite remember.

Anyways, they make 2-3 minute musical-y thingies, and they have a new one up. This one’s about “Fandoms.” It features characters from The Hobbit, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Pirates… In other words, it’s great. Enjoy!

A Guide to Writing

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Good news! I found a way that my writing will get better quickly!

The famous author Neil Gaiman posted a guide for how to write. So all I’ll need to do is follow the instructions, and I’ll get better magically!

I wish he said where the mountain was, but oh well. I have time. And maybe someday, I’ll find the magic cows.

Happy Monday!

A “Nothing Original” Trailer

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Greetings, readers!

YouTube showed me a trailer for a movie that looks like it’s going to be successful, by having practically nothing original at all.

The movie? “Chappie”.

The premise? Police robots (ala the movie I, Robot), and somebody turns one of them sentient ala Short Circuit and “I, Robot” (the movie).

It looks like the robot then turns into something of a superhero, while at the same time Earth goes into full panic mode because “Sentient Robot o noezzz!!!” And of course there’s the evil scientist who created the original police robots to get rich, and the good scientist who designed “Chappie” the friendly sentient robot, and who seems to be a hardworking, caring father ala every cliche’d movie with two scientists ever. Ok, slight exaggeration. Slight.

So I can’t tell if it’s a pure ripoff of Short circuit (in which case it’ll be bad and nobody will know, so it will still be a successful movie because so few know about Short Circuit), a combination of Short Circuit and Iron Man (in which case it’ll be bad, but still a successful movie because so few know about Short Circuit), or Short Circuit and Transformers (in which case it’ll be really bad, but still a successful movie because so few know about Short Circuit.)

Here’s the trailer. Maybe you can tell me.

And for those of you unaware of Short Circuit, here’s an old trailer for that, too:

Thoughts?

Weekend Procrastination

Hiya, Fluffsters!

I recently reencountered probably the only fanfiction I will ever admit to reading even some of. It’s “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.” I highly recommend up through the first 33 chapters. After that, it gets a bit angsty. But before that, It’s quite funny. It takes place in an alternate universe where Harry Potter is raised by a science professor, and is an absolute supergenius.

Have a great Saturday!

NEAT basement idea that I rather want now

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

I was browsing through my collection of thingies that might make good fluff posts, and I came across a tutorialish thingy I’d forgotten about. It deals with turning a basement into a “mountain lodge man cave” thingamabobber. And it’s really cool. I definitely want one.

Of course, I’d probably have a different photo in the fake window. Maybe one of Colorado, like the picture I put in the fake window tutorial.

Also, I’d probably use a paper mache dragon head instead of a dear head, or whatever kind of animal’s head is on display. Because dragons are fantastic.

I’d also have it be a bit less cluttered, since the way it is looks a little too messy. (Yes, Mom, you read that correctly.)

And I’d definitely have some sort of extra comfortable “snuggle in” chair for reading a book, or finding more Fluff material.

And that’s probably why the thing above is called a “man cave”, and not “The Webmaster’s Lair.”

Have a great Wednesday!

Data “Tables”

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello, Fluffsters! Happy Tuesday!

So while I was talking with a friend last night, we ended up talking about tables. And that got me thinking about data-tables, and what one would even look like.

Rather like numbers arranged in “table” format, perhaps?

Really, Fluffy. I know that type. Nope, I’m thinking about tables. That you eat off of or store things on. But somehow made of data.

Oh, you mean like the things I use to eat off of, then.

Wait, what?

Surely you did not think that online tables only had use for websites, Webmaster. I have been using them for my own storage, and traditional table-age for a while now.

…oh.

So what do they look like?

Rather like datastreams bent into the shape of tables.

That was not helpful.

You did ask, Webmaster.

…I suppose so.

Still, how would one look in the real world?

That is a more difficult problem for me to answer, since I think they could take on any shape you could 3D print.

…wha?

Yes. 3D printing is a “thing” these days, correct?

Right.

3D print patterns are created using computer software that sends data to the printer. Therefore, the pattern is data.

Thus, in a manner of speaking, a “data-table” in your world could be printed into any shape you desire.

…Huh.

I’ll need to think about that.

Well, fluffsters, have a great day!
