Flickr is a commonly known image hosting website operated by the specialists of website insecurity, aka Yahoo. But if you already have a Yahoo! account from your foolish younger days of playing around with computers, using Flickr for your photohosting needs has any number of advantages. 1) Flickr does not go down. Unlike Majhost/bshelf, who does. At least, not yet. 2) Flickr does not run out of bandwidth or file storage space (up to 1 TB, which is probably enough for most of us). Unlike Ph
Get over here yonder and put your hand up, if so. Or you can just put your hand up below. You don't have to provide criticism for the draft, just show that there are peoples who want to play so I can get started, or not.
So some of the resident BZPower members may be graduating high school, or already did like two days ago. Welcome to college. Here is some idiotic advice from some random person on the internet. Every person and college is different, so take the following diatribe with some salt. But this is an attempt to clarify the facts about college so you know what you're getting into. 1. College is ######. Don't listen to the random college student who tells you that college is a party. It isn't. If yo

Story So far will be up when MoUP is done (in 12 days, kids, max - th
This blog post is to inform you that the Mask of Ultimate Power 2 will begin as soon as I complete its amazing banner, which shall be either later today or tomorrow morning. This is about 9 days before I said it would run last blog entry. The reason for this is that my parents are talking about taking my computer away from me again if the course I'm taking next doesn't have enough homework. I'm pretty sure that it does, and I will be able to retain my own machine. However, I am not certain of
Question: So, why so stubborn this week, fishers? Me: I don't know. Question: That's not an acceptable answer. Why are you stubborn? Me: Because people are attacking things that I care about. Question: Isn't that kinda old news? Me: Uh, no. Question: Is an RPG really something to be stubborn about? Me: Yes. *excited animated whispering from the audience* Question: Is *insert illegal debate topic here* something to be stubborn about? Me: Heck yes. Question: So is that
You guys really should check out tth4 Reasons: 1. No more RTE, the whole thing is beautiful BBCode 2. 100-post blogging subforums. Seriously, I paid $40 for this blog, kids, and it ain't a subforum 3. Bionicle Story forum that hopefully will be free of: Canonization wars, bones posts, Greg quote slinging about, G1 connection theories (just kidding I love those ) 4. And you aren't this one person in like 50,000. That means your stuff actually gets seen. 5. And you can type quick thoughts on th
I have a class that is going to take up four hours a day, four days a week, for four weeks. Said class ends June 12th. After this time, I have a flexible-schedule PE class that runs through June/July and political science, which starts in July. THEREFORE: Mask of Ultimate Power 2: The Race for the Mask of Time, will begin June 19th. The week is required to draw up the draft and trappings that game requires. The HF RPG draft will submitted on that date for approval by the LRPG planning topi
So today I went to see Avengers: Age of Ultron today, and I do want to ramble about it, as I am wont to do with these blog entries. But I'd like to back up a little bit and talk about the original Iron Man first. Writing Late to the Party reminded me so strongly of that movie that I actually re-watched it last week. (The protagonist ended up a little close to Tony for my brain not to get flooded. He's not a womanizer like Tony though, but whatever.) I found the movie to be a bit sour this time a
For this, there are four characters and two genders; two characters must be male, and the other two must be female. 1. Logician - This character uses analytic and strategic thinking. They are typically hardened and veteran fighters, and suppress whatever emotions they need to at any given moment. Tend to be socially reserved, and if they do talk, are focused on what they need to accomplish with their words. They usually manage to cover any true emotional stakes they have with thoughts of how t
Seriously, go to karz. I cannot believe that I am now writing this story, which I did not want to write under any circumstances. I cannot tolerate this. Go die. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A LIGHT-HEARTED STORY, YOU WRETCHED THING! It was not meant to include tragic elements, emotional upheaval, possible romance plots (######??? ) or seriously creepy stuff from a positively nightmarish horror story! Blasted Visorak noggins, this is awful.
The amount of variation and inconstancy possible within a single mind is a finite amount. Extensions (these do NOT count as evidences): 1) The amount of violation of a person's person tastes, moral beliefs, or things they wish were true that can be tolerated is a finite amount; should there be a certain level of these things violated, emotional backlash will result, and eventually the emotional backlash will shove the person towards a situation were their tastes or beliefs are not violated.
In my defense, I admit to having only a casual interest in that franchise to begin with. They've made some dang good movies, but I'm getting tired of them, with a barely perceptible interest in Age of Ultron and Ant Man. Ultron is too dark, methinks, more of the Iron Man 3 type stuff. That's good for one movie, but two is pushing it. The latter feels like an old concept. Eh. I much prefer older Marvel movies, with three feet of snark for two feet of battle. If I wanted to want a grimdark movie
-I just finished reading all of the posted episodes of the BZPower Expanded Multiverse. Not a particularly bad series, but it feels more complex (with the worldbuilding) and the mysteries feel less intriguing than the Paracosmos. . I shouldn't be comparing it to the BPC since bones only wrote...less than half of it...but yeah. Still feels like a bonesiii thing, even though TN and TC01 and Swert also contributed. I'm not going to compare the episodes too much, but I think the latter's work is d
Picture the scene: my family has been doing pinewood derby car racing for the past 13 years. Undisputed experts. I gave it up about 6 years ago, but my brother is one of those engineer types who enjoys doing these things. He busted his tail building this super-cool body design, polishing the wheels and axles, and doing our brilliantly designed weight system that has won us a ridiculously high number of races. It's his last eligible racing year. And he won the race. The heats go down, the sc
HOW THIS GAME WORKS RNG + Spreadsheet 4 ever. For mask making rounds: Spreadsheet columns of 1,2,3,4,5,6. The elemental resistances determined the number of numbers that were successful out of six. I ran the RNG to determine which numbers were successful, and then one more time to determine your fate. For the death rounds: Player Attacking Elemental Resistance - Victim's Elemental Resistance + 1. I took that number and determined how many success numbers out of 9. NOTE ON ODDS/ROUND 3

Not much has happened since my long wall of text that nobody read (). I finished entering the giant robot blog entry in along with the Saved Greg Posts. Right now I'm working on the PHP to bring the Official Greg Quotes in. strpos + substring. Not too bad. I blame being sick for slow progress. But I'm better now and I have a week off next week and really no excuse. Time to finish this thing and move on. Not that I'm going to settle for doing it in anyway less than the right way. I'm finish
Sorry for lack of updates. It's easier to keep going than it is to decide when to update. So for this task a database was recommended, so here's my database: I had planned on using JavaScript, but using this is way easier, and much better. This is the database-based categorization system results. It isn't as clunky as the JS preliminary version, and is a lot cleaner. It's simple conceptually, but it's somewhat complicated on the code level. I may make some minor tweaks to improve
Let's see, I signed up for a Mafia game. Coolness and stuff. Sounds cool, but tricky to do. I'm not sure I'll make much use of it, but hey. Later... BURNMAD IS TICKING ME OFF IN NINJAGO AND SUSPECTING ME FOR NO REASON... ...BANG. ARRRGH QP CONVINCED EVERYONE TO VOTE FOR LUROKA, WHEN THE MAFIA WAS OBVIOUSLY VOXUMO. DUH. PROBLEM SOLVED. Possible, but not likely - how did you guys NOT see this? O_O OOPS. QP IS MAFIA. I'M SO DEAD. I MUST KILL THE MAFIA, JUST IN CASE THEY MISS THE OBV
