User blog:CustardBird/The Weekly Custard - October 22nd, 2016

Oi oi oi! So, The "Weekly" Custard is now having another schedule shift, it will now be releasing on Saturdays, as opposed to Tuesdays, when I am now much more busy.

In this issue, we have the standard Wiki News, an interview with our #1 Nintendo Fan-- no, no not that one, I'm talking about ThatYoshi8, and we wrap up with CPWCU Tidbits!

Wiki News
This past week hasn't been incredibly eventful, but we did kick off with some worrying events.



On Tuesday, our resident Chat Moderator Hypercane announced he was going to have to leave the Wiki due to personal reasons in regards to college. We were all at a bit of a loss for words, as it happened so quickly, but little more than 4 hours later, he returned and told us he would be able to stay after all! Phew.

Today, Saturday, ThatYoshi8 (more from him later) told us all he'd gotten a new internet modem, no more doorspam. Phew.

Interview with ThatYoshi8
Custard: So, let's get right into it, what do you think of the Wiki in its current state?

ThatYoshi8: Well I mean it's pretty much dead and alive at the same time, I don't know how that happens. Chat is pretty much chaotic now.

Custard: So it appears that you've recently got a new internet provider! Can we expect no more doorspam flood?



ThatYoshi8: YES! Well, not internet provider, it was just another modem, I think that's what it's called. So yeah, there you go I guess.

Custard: What are your feelings on the Wiki's vote page?

ThatYoshi8: I don't even know what's going on in that vote page, but sometimes there's useful/ridiculous votes.

Custard: How do you feel about POTM [Penguin of the Month, where we dub somebody the User of the Month and feature them on our front page]?

ThatYoshi8: Going great as usual, good users are being nominated. Also some unexpected ones.

Custard: Now, less about the CPW and more about, er, "Fandom" on a grand scale, how do you feel about the re-naming of Wikia to Fandom?

ThatYoshi8: I hate it. Wikia is better than "Fandom". Fandom is just cringey [sic], I mean, there's Wikis that aren't fandoms too. I rate it 0.5/10.

Custard: And I think that wraps up the interview for today, thanks!

CPWCU Tidbits!
The Custard Movie was inspired by a crossover between Doctor Who and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer! I thought of the idea while playing the Animal Crossing game, and developed the story in my head while bored during gym class in school (lol), not long afterwards, I came up with the idea to change it into a CPWCU production, fitting the time machine from The WikiaFrog Movie into it. Elements of the original bare bones are very evident in the final product, Custard's time machine is very clearly based off of the TARDIS, the Sonic Pen is similar to the Sonic Screwdriver (and a Sonic Pen actually has appeared in Doctor Who before), and on the other hand, during animation, I gave WikiaFrog a picture of the Happy Home Designer housing agency as a reference point for the Hinkonton Housing Agency (hence the similarities). All of the Hinkonton Housing Agency characters are based off of the characters from Happy Home Designer, Owen is based off of Tom Nook, Claire is based off of Lottie, and Digby is based off of, well, Digby. (Felt I might as well keep one name the same!) There are deviations from the inspiration, of course, Digby and Claire are siblings, which is not the case for Lottie and Digby in Happy Home Designer.



The End
Well that's it for today, if you'd like an interview for next Saturday's issue (I promise!) please comment asking for one and I'll try and arrange one! Thanks for reading!
