Your Second-Grade English Lesson For Today

That's right, YOUR lesson, not YOU'RE lesson!   Okay, let's begin by learning about the words "there", "their" and "they're". "There" refers to place. Eg. "I live just over there". It can also be used in such context as "There is no need to worry." "Their" refers to possession. Eg. "Their lawn needs mowing." "They're" is a contraction. It is short for "they are". Eg. "They're not heading to school today." Now, next up is the difference between "your" and "you're". "You're" is another contra

You've Got To Eat Your Vegetables

You've got to eat your vegetables! Do you hear me?     You've got to eat your vegetables! Tell him, daddy.     You've got to eat your vegetables! NOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!     You've got to eat your vegetables! Na na na na naa naa!       Anyone who knows where I got this from gets a cookie, and the cookies I have here are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

You Know What I Miss From The Old Forums?

Very funny topic closing posts! SPIRIT and Turakki #1 Lavasurfer (mainly) used to do them all the time, and I always looked forward to seeing their closing posts. Sadly, both of them seem to have mostly disappeared, and AFAIK no-one as of yet (except Nuhrii the Metruan just recently, prompting me to make this entry) has made any sort of attempt to make a funny topic-closer.   If I'm wrong, please do enlighten me.

Yesterday's tournament

So, there was another Pokémon tournament in the city yesterday!   The tournament used the same rules as the past 3 Nintendo-run tournaments did, so I didn't bother to build a new team. Besides, my last team did well, and there's another tournament next week that uses different rules.   My first round was put on the big screen, this time not by design but by coincidence! I almost lost the battle but then a communication error (not the only one on the big screen) forced us to restart the battle

Yes! Dos Games Can Be Played On Mac Without Dosbox

I regret posting this after the "befriend a disabled Canadian" entry, which disrespectfully got no replies...   During the downtime I downloaded DOSBox onto my Mac to try and get it to play DOS games. Somehow, though, it didn't work!   Then a message I found by chance online told me of another program called Boxer, which I could use to play DOS games on my Mac. I downloaded it, imported a few games, and HEY PRESTO, they worked! I even got Rayman to work for the first time in years! Not only tha

Winged Pikmin

I only just found out about the revelations for the new Winged Pikmin in Pikmin 3, announced in last night's Nintendo Direct.   I LOVE THEM! Aside from being cute, they are also versatile, and they make my author-like imagination go wild! I sincerely hope they make small plushes of these like they did with the first 5 Pikmin species.   For those who missed it, this is what winged Pikmin can do: They can fly, meaning they are not inhibited by land hazards such as water. When working with other w

Why This Sunday Will Be Bitter-Sweet

The Pokémon Trading Card Game State Championships will be coming to Victoria this Sunday, and I'll be going!   The bad news is that my nan's birthday is coming on exactly the same day!   Selfishly, I decided to go to the championships so the deck I built doesn't go to waste after the coming rotation. However, if I lose early enough (which I probably will, since this is a newb's deck), I will leave the venue immediately to see nan.

Why the Bring Back Bionicle Club failed

I'm sure a lot of older BZP members expected me to come back and crack it when Bionicle was announced to end AGAIN. I feel that now is as good a time as ever to let rip about what I really feel about the end result.   When Bionicle came back last year as a hard reboot, I actually felt the Bring Back Bionicle Club FAILED in its mission. I don't know about the rest of you, but I was campaigning for a continuation/soft reboot, and opposed a hard reboot. A successful campaign in my eyes would've mea

Why Suspensions Should Be Abolished

I believe suspending school students should be abolished and replaced with something more appropriate. People may think suspensions protect the victims of bullies, but they actually put them in more danger!   The bullies who get suspended HATE school. They don't want to be there. Therefore, they WANT to be suspended. They see it as a REWARD. And what better a way to get that 'reward' than to torture an innocent fellow student?   Long story short, suspensions encourage bullying.

Why Should Age Matter?

If you really like something, you shouldn't let age or your social life stop you from enjoying it. I personally don't believe in growing out of things. Such a concept is only an excuse for trying to fit in with the social norm.   Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a teddy bear to cuddle with!

Why Must People Be Nitpicky?

In my previous entry I stated that I wanted to contact and befriend a Canadian with incontinence and a fear of social media, as much as I want Bionicle back. However, I was stupid enough to say "almost as much", and got flamed about it. Not even a word about the disabled person himself!   Why are priorities more important than the well-being of someone disabled, dare I ask? >   I've wiped the comments clean so we can start fresh with REAL discussion.

Why I Wouldn't Make A Great Toa

In recent times I've found I'm quite a cunning person, both in games and in real life. Rather than confronting a problem head-on, I like to play tricks on my opponent and catch them off-guard. And whenever I do I tend to perform a well-developed evil laugh!   Eg. In a Pokémon battle simulator I frequent, I use a Pokémon called Zoroark, who comes in looking like another Pokemon, usually one that is vulnerable to attacks Zoroark is immune to (Among other tricks involving Pokémon like Shedinja,

Why I Hate Scouts

Scouts was mentioned in my last blog entry, once again prompting me to express my always-controversial opinion.   I was in Scouts for 12 years, in a group called 1st North Frankston. It was horrible. I was forced into camps I didn't want to go on, I and others were treated like peasants by our tyrant of a group leader, called Maroa Pedlar, and that same leader literally tried to do everything in her power to keep me from getting my Queen's Scout!   While she failed to stop me from getting it, sh

Why did I never notice this before?

I've heard people try and compare Bionicle with Transformers. Thinking about that, I just realised that Bionicle's baterra are literally "Transformers, robots in disguise"! IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO FIGURE THAT OUT!!!

Why Can't Bionicle Return?

I'm sure Lego would've learned from their mistakes of making brittle pieces and using the Inika and Av-Matoran builds over and over.   I'm sure they could go in trillions of directions at LEAST with the story now that everyone's together on one now-whole planet.   I'm sure Toa Helryx, Artakha, the MU Robot, Kojol, Lariska Johmak and the Sisters of the Skrall would make brilliant sets.   But why is no-one giving them a chance?

What next?

"The hunter is nothing without the hunted."   With the campaign to bring back Bionicle just about over, one would think that an addict like me would be all but lost in what do do with my life other than just buying Bionicle sets like anyone else.   Actually, my campaign will continue, albeit much quieter. My aim now will be to keep Bionicle back until at least mid-2016, which would see Bionicle back for a year and a half, bridging the gap between its initial ending in 2010 and the end of its 10t

What I'm Doing For My 21St

I'm headed into the city with a group of friends I made in a social media group, where we will celebrate my 21st and a fan's 20th, so I'll be out all day!   Tonight, I and a babysitter (yes, I'm getting a babysitter at 21 :/) will have to look after my brother, and he's in a bad mood atm. My parents will go out to another friend's 60th birthday party. I wasn't invited because of my 21st birthday; it'd be impolite to interrupt a 21st with another birthday. I hope to spend that time playing Pikmi

What I'd Like To See In Buildable Action Figures

I'd love to see skeletons that are the size of Skrall, armed with a variety of weapons, like swords, bows and magical staffs. I'd also love to see a lich (which is an undead sorcerer and leader of an undead army/society) that's about the size of Tuma.   And to think I was afraid of skeletons over a decade ago...
