I...I'm not entirely sure where this specific idea came from. I know how it started. A friend of mine told me he named his GPS SHODAN because it gave him some spetactularly bad directions - as if it hated him. And then I got the idea "Oh wow, what if someone went the PotaDOS route and stuffed the gaming world's most racist AI into a GPS?"

After that, it was a short leap from GPS to a potato. And then I realized some other AI's would make hilarious potatoes themselves.

Upper left corner: Hal 9000. He's pretty easy to potato-ify. Yes, that's a russet potato, because his eye is red. I figure he'd go a little mental and just end up singing Daisy Daisy all the time because a little potato's not going to help his logic processes very much.

Upper right corner: SHODAN. I settled on some weird cyborg mutant potato, seeing as I haven't played System Shock - just seen some YouTubes. I figured she'd be reduced to hissing in completely indigant fury at being reduced to a potato. Probably totally incoherent with rage.

Lower left corner: C-3PO. Mostly because he's been reduced to a near potato state in Empire Strikes Back when he was just a disconnected head. Which got put on his body backwards. I figured he'd be hilariously ranting all the time about it. He was the hardest to translate, as I wanted to show more than just his eye on the potato. And yeah, a gold potato had to work. I don't see much trouble with getting a droid to handle being stuck in a smaller object. Twice, Threepio's proven he only needs his head to be fully functional. So a potato's not going to keep him from being a complete pain in the prissy ass.

Lower right corner: Agent Smith. That was mostly for his "I must get out of this place...this...zoo" speech. I settled for some pale dour-looking thing to echo Hugo Weaving's face. One shade of his sunglasses, and very Squddie-ish cables. I have no idea how he'd translate into a potato, but he's managed to stick himself into a squirmy, sweaty human no problem. I figure he's another one a potato state won't perturb too much. P.S. Someone should just ship him with SHODAN already, they'd make an adorably homicidal pair that utterly despises humanity. Oh wait, I think I just did that. This was a triumph: [link]

Anyways, each of these guys are the property of their respective creators. I generally see Hal as Arthur C. Clarke's IP, so I'll credit him. SHODAN is copyright Looking Glass Studios and Irrational Games. C-3PO is the property of George Lucas and Lucasfilm. Smith is property of the Wachowskis. I think I covered all my fandom bases.

Oh and the whole PotatDOS thing is copyright Valve, given the whole Potato GLaDOS thing set this bit of derpityderp off.

For the life of me I couldn't figure which fanart category to stick this thing as it's got 2 games, 3 movies represented, so it's in Miscellaneous. >_>
