yeah. it’s special, alright. special as a ride on an over-crowded short bus. this 11-minute video is the “pikachu news.” apparently, pikachu and piplup give a newscast, but are interrupted by a metroid attack. or so the twits tell me. we’re working on such concepts as “clarity of plot” for future video endeavors. SpazMonkey and DramaQueen did all the special effects themselves… except for one caption that i snuck in myself. probably obvious which one it is.
the twits made the dvd cover art, and then wrote up invitations to their friends in the neighborhood, ran around delivering them, and came back, friends in tow, for the official screening. should you be bored enough to actually watch it, you will want these 11 minutes of your life back, but 5-7 year olds think it’s awesome… enough to watch more than once, even. the lightning effects! the bouncing, swirling, scrolling captions! the funny voices! the non-stop sound effects/soundtrack mash-up! the “artistic” camera angles!
they also wanted to show it to others not within barefoot-sidewalk-traversing distance. burning 100s of copies on dvd got nixed by their cheap-ass mother, so they decided to upload it to youtube. having their very own youtube channel obviously makes them internet superstars, and with that status comes an awesome responsibility to entertain the masses, which they take very, very seriously. so expect more excruciating nonsense to follow on the welfareloserskids channel soon! soon-ish, anyway, given the limiting factor of me figuring out how to transcode the video files to divx and then split them into youtube-friendly chunks. anyhoo. the lightning effects at the beginning of part two might be the only 20 seconds worth your time. you have been warned. proceed.

Buy them a iflip camera – it will allow them to do it all themselves.
