Intro
Another week done, another update to post. I wanted to try to post this a few hours ago, but a little game called Mass Effect sucked me in. It's a great game I recommend to all Xbox 360 owners. Anyway, time to look at this past week on BZPower.
Updates
So obviously the biggest news this past week is that RPG Contest 8 has begun. Ok, maybe it's not the most important thing, but it's pretty exciting, and if you have any interest in RPGs you should take a look and consider entering. We have over a dozen entries so far and there are about two weeks left to enter, so get working on it! Obviously the real big news is 2008 sets appearing in stores. I've seen reports of them showing up at various Lego stores and outlets, so if you have one near you check it out! With the availability of news sets comes a lot of new images of the winter 2008 and some of the later sets, such as the ones we reported on today. I predict a lot of other news coming out soon too, so keep your eyes peeled on the front page. And speaking of today's news, we're going to be wrapping up our 2007 reviews in the coming weeks as well. Expect to see another review tomorrow. Also, if you hadn't noticed, our usual Holiday Signature Policy is in effect once again. Last but not least, I'm going to stop teasing you guys about new staff announcements. They'll come when they come and I'll talk about the retrospectively from now on. Things come up that delay them, so who knows when the next announcement will be.
Mailbag
Electric Turahk asks:
Would it be possible to implement something that automatically inserts a preset font (as chosen by the member in their preferences) when a user makes a post?
Possible? Yes. Would it be easy? Not really, so don't expect to see it any time soon.
.::Toa Stheno Nuva::. asks:
1. Why did you want to create the Bionicle RPG?2. What is your favorite video game?
3. What was your most favorite staff postition?
4. What is the funniest rank you have given someone?
5. What is your favorite forum to moderate?
1. I had participated in Text-Based RPGs in the past and thought it would be something the members of BZPower would enjoy as well.
2. All time I'd have to say the original Halo, I have a lot of good memories from that. Recently I've been playing a lot of Mass Effect; it's a great game.
3. I enjoyed being a Moderator. It was a lot easier back then (the low number of members might have helped too).
4. There have been so many, it's hard to keep track. Kaiapu's 'Anti-Physicist' was pretty funny though.
5. Another tough one. I was assigned to Promotions for a long time and still check in there regularly. Even though there aren't as many promos as there were in 2001 and 2002, it still holds a sentimental place.
Want to see your questions answered? PM them to me and put 'Mailbag' in the subject line. I'll pick the few I like the best and answer them in the next update.
Conclusion
That about wraps it up for this week. As always, questions, comments, and feed back are welcome. Talk to you again soon!
