Ok, so I'm really, really stoked for the new Hero Factory sets to come out. Like, almost as stoked as I was when Bionicle was first released. I love that Lego's really movthing the line into a different direction. I think that the ball joint/technic pin/minifig pin system could actually end up being more compatible with regular System pieces, which would definitely be a very good thing. I think that the parts are really, really cool. I don't know if I can say that enough.
I also think that th
I'll have more pictures tomorrow.
It's kinda funny really, as the first time that I've been home for more than a few hours is also the first time that I've built something in a while.
So, I got a bid to join Sigma Chi. SO PUMPED!
Never expected myself to be a fraternity kinda guy, but hanging out with these guys has been a blast, and, from what I hear, it's only going to get better. Can't wait to pledge next term.
Inter-Fraternity Council Tomato Fight Against Hunger was awesome. Not much beats throwing rotten tomatoes at people on a Saturday morning.
Also, I got a 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker set for my computer here. I am so happy
Also, I need to go home sometime and grab some pieces to build with. I usually have a ton of downtime on Tuesday as I only have one class.
But yeah, college has been awesome so far.
And I'm totally going to the Deadmau5 concert on the 25th. Me and my friend are going to make Mau5heads B)
Been pretty busy during my orientation, but its starting to wind down and classes start up tomorrow. Casino night was pretty cash, the hypnotist was cool, dropping eggs from the roof was sweet, and just hanging out with a bunch of new people's been pretty sick. My everyone in my unit is a Mechanical engineering major (and there's 32 of us [which is kind of fitting as we're unit 32]). It's kinda funny really, I've talked to everyone else in my unit more than I've talked to my suite-mate. Bunch of
So, I'm going to give a little mini-review of each MOC entered into my contest, talk about what I liked and did not like about them, and then talk about how I awarded them Bonus Points. Might as well start with first place after all (this is most likely going to be a tl;dr type entry, so if you want to skip to where I review your entry, feel free to do so):
Alchemyst's Robocop A-14
So, first things first, I do not like the lower legs at all. Usually I'm fond of this kind of leg, but there'
So, this is most likely the last MOC y'all will see from me for most likely 3 months. I'm starting up my school term on Thursday, and while I'm bringing some of my pieces with me, I doubt I'm going to be building a whole lot.

1st Place:
Alchemyst: Robocop A-14

So, vote for the MOC that you think is the best. I'm still going to pick the winners and such, but if a MOC gets enough votes, I'll prolly rethink how I've decided them.
Voting starts today and ends tomorrow, so tell all of your friends! (W
Yes, I know my blog contest names are waaaaay creative. At least I used some rudimentary French this time.
ANYWHO
The challenge is this:
You must build a MOC (duh). But not just any boring, ordinary MOC. You must build one of MY MOCs in YOUR style. And then you have to make it better.
Let that sit in a little. Good? Ok.
I'll clarify:
The challenge is that you have to rebuild one of my MOCs (it doesn't matter which one [well, it kinda does but I'll get to that later]) in your ow
Two days 'till my contest ends.
Three days 'till my work term ends.
Nine days 'till I ship off to college.
Fourteen days 'till my first class.
Also, it's a good song by Collective Soul. IMO.
Only 5 more days 'till the my contest's entry period ends, y'all.
Also, my last day of my work term is in 6 days. It's like there's a pattern here or something....
