Anchel Labena - Videogames ProducerPeople really need to let go preconceptions that you can only eat ice-cream when it’s warm outside. So what if ice-cream is cold? Don’t you drink cold beers when it’s cold outside too?
In cany case, this is chapter 4 of Josep’s series of videologs in Copenhagen. Enjoy!
So someone has done what I had wanted to do a long time ago (back in North Texas I made an attempt at this) and has created a videolog of what is happening around him in Copenhagen.
I’m talking about Josep-Bernat Martínez, fellow classmate at the IT University of Copenhagen, who has decided to record pretty much every funny moment in his life and edit them before uploading to Youtube.
Of course I also appear in the videos. So before Josep starts recording embarrasing moments of me and uploads them, I decided to bribe him by advertising his Youtube channel here.
Mind you though, the videolog is in Spanish.
Almost two years ago I wrote a post about how addicted I was to this drink called “Pibb Xtra”, a Dr. Pepper clone very popular in North Texas.
Now, here in Denmark, I have found myself once again addicted to a soft drink (what do these have that get me to crave this things?)
This time it’s this drink called Faxe Kondi, and they sell it all over Copenhagen.
What does it taste like? Well, think of a mixture of Sprite and 7-Up, except that this one has a higher concentration of glucose and caffeine. In fact, it is marketed as a sports drink. What is more, it was invented by a Danish sports physician and football star!
Now, the funny part is that Coca-Cola, fearing the loss of a big market share (especially in Greenland, where it has a 33% market share of soft drinks with 42 liters drank per person a year), de
cided to compete directly against it, even though it already sells Sprite in the region. So what did it do? It got the license to create a drink with the brand of the famous Danish beer Carlsberg and created Carlsberg Sport.
One small detail: there’s two types of plastic bottles of Faxe Kondi, one of them (the one I took a picture of) has a more "worn out” look (I think it is made out of recycled bottles) and tastes slightly better than the normal plastic bottle, which is mostly sold in supermarkets.
“Prepare for trouble”
“Make it double!”
“Meowth! That’s right!”
If you didn’t recognize those sentences then you’re probably not the target audience for this awesome movie that is being produced by Ki-Voltage Productions.
Or at least its trailer.
Sure, the plot of this fan-made trailer is campy at its best, but you’ve gotta give credit to producers Dylan Innes and Lee Majdoub for creating the most amazing insight on how Pokémon would look in full-blown movie (which, for the sake of our world, I hope never comes true).
They have definitely thought of everything: from Ash to Misty and Brock, including Doctor Oak, and Team Rocket members Jessie and James.
Given the impressive level of detail in the art department I’ve taken some still shots of the best moments of this action-packed trailer, plus the trailer itself. Enjoy! (Don’t forget you can zoom in the pictures by clicking on them!).

Quite an impressive and original portrayal of Team Rocket’s Jessie and James

A quite shocking (but funny) scene with Jessie, James and Meowth shooting
Today Tobias, one of the student advisors at the IT University of Copenhagen, has shown us why we shouldn’t plagiarize the work of others for our essays at university. He did it through this video created by the University of Bergen in Norway, and man, did he make us laugh.
Seriously, watch this video. It’s simply hilarious. Plus, it has incredible production values.
18 de mayo del 2007, Pamplona, Navarra. El mismo día de mi cumpleaños aquel año coincidía con el estreno de la obra de teatro “Vive como quieras” en el salón de actos del Colegio Mayor Larraona.
Dirigida por Pedro Soler (que también hacía el papel del abuelo) la función quedó perfecta.
Pero uno de los momentos estrella de la obra fue cuando el señor Kolenkov, profesor ruso de ballet, tiene una escena con el señor Kirby (padre del señor Kirby Jr., papel que representaba yo como se puede ver en la foto de arriba con… mucho más pelo).
He querido publicar la obra de teatro entera, pero por diversos motivos todavía no podrá ser. Por el momento os dejo con la escena ya mencionada: el señor Kirby y el señor Kolenkov.
