Oh shoot I forgot about this thing. Anyways, I'm working on a little side project that you guys might enjoy: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Meiko/TCW/tcw_app.png Please link to images over 500 kB. -B6 If anybody knows XAML, I'd love your help on this. I've tried making a JavaScript, C#, C++, and VB Windows 8 app, but the XAML in all of them... I just can't wrap my head around that language. <_< So yeah, any help available would be nice. Heck I can even add you into the credits on w
As many of you have likely noticed, The Ninjago Wiki and The Chima Wiki are not accessible. The reason for this downtime is that we just bought a brand new server, with much more RAM, bandwidth, and space! The downtime wasn't planned to be this long, so I wanted to give you an update if you don't follow any of the sites' social network pages. When the sites come back up though, everything will be the same, and the site will be much faster than before.
As many of you may have noticed, Brickimedia has been down for almost 48 hours. The cause of this is that our host, RamNode, was attacked by a competitor webhost company. More info can be found at the two links below: https://clientarea.ramnode.com/announcements.php?id=182 https://clientarea.ramnode.com/announcements.php?id=183 RamNode had many backups of most of their servers, but, sadly, Brickimedia was not one of these. What this means is that all content has been lost from Brickimedia, al
So today is the official launch of The Chima Wiki, however we have not yet made a universal database between The Ninjago Wiki and The Chima Wiki. Therefore, those of you who have a TNW account already, sign up on TCW using the exact same username and password. This will protect your account from being corrupted if anything goes wrong when we make a new database. Those of you who sign up for the first time on a BrickCraft.me site, go ahead and sign up on The Ninjago Wiki using the same username a
Anybody interested in playing tomorrow night? I might make it a regular thing on Sunday evenings. 9pm, feel free to come early or later. 173.72.194.6:27015 ^ there's the IP. There will be an invite thing to everyone in the BZPower Steam group. Is mvm_mannhattan and mvm_rottenburg good?
I swear we have the weirdest conversations. Half of the conversation yesterday is our top-secret troll plan that we might be able to do at a certain time of year in 2013. No more details. The other half is an agreement that hashtags and swag makes everything better, so we are... Making a charity called #hastags4swag that guarantees 1 swag donated for every hashtag. All of my posts on my profile feed will now be hashtags because why not.
Chima premiers tomorrow! And even better, I'll be able to watch it on my new 50" HDTV, instead of the little box I had before. It's gonna be awesome. Hopefully the TV show will bring lots of activity to The Chima Wiki. Any help is appreciated.
Oh my goodness, Chima is awesome (the TV show). The characters are amazing. Lagravis is awesome. He's like god and kicks butt. Longtooth is like... how can I make this appropriate... kick... no bad... he's donkey 8D (Actually that makes me kind of want a donkey tribe) The ravens are really, let's say "simple minded". Not much going on under the cranium cap there. Makes it pretty funny. The gorillas, or at least Gorzan, are such hippies. Gorzan sees the battle and is like "Groovy". Als
I got a 3 minute long preliminary video for LEGO Chima today. It's really funny. The minifigures were terrible. Laval looked like a hedgehog, and the eagles looked like something that would have been found in nuclear waste. The gorillas look more Planet of the Apes than they look LEGO. The constraction sets are cool though. And the Speedorz concepts were pretty sweet. It also had some gameplay of LEGO Legends of Chima Online, the MMO coming out later this year. Sadly the video was in Russi
Yeah, so now I'm premier, and that also got me Premier Outstanding BZP Citizen at the same time. I'll probably update this every now and then. Blog name courtesy of Sumiki and Zaath at BrickFair. I almost called it "Life of George" since my first name is George, and Life of George is an awesome game (even though it isn't compatible on my Android *rages*).
Hey guys, I've been going through all my old clothes that are way too small for me anymore and a few of them happen to be LEGO or BZPower related so I figured I'd see if anyone would like to buy them before I send them to Goodwill. None of them are torn and they're all clean and well-laundered over the years. I'll probably just ask $10 for each (covers shipping which is usually around $5 for a package and allows me to make a small amount of money off of it) unless you don't live in the United St
I believe all of the judges have sent in their votes at this time. Hahli Husky will post the winners when she gets the chance. Since I'm in charge of prizes, there may be a delay in shipping the 2nd and 3rd place prizes (spinners). The reason for this is that they are in heavy demand this holiday season, and I can't find a single spinner set anywhere. NRG Jay and NRG Zane seem to be some people's favorites, so I'll try to look for some of them. If I have to though, I'll order them online. I'
Last blog I left off at the start of the public days of BrickFair. Nothing particularly special happened on either day. I did, however, get a delicious fish. Recapping on the weekend, I told myself not to spend any money at BrickFair this year because I have other priorities to spend my money on. I successfully did not spend any money on LEGO. However, taking into account the wings, taco bell trips, gas, and fish dinners, I spent over $100. Woops. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At the LEGO Group Q&A at Brick
As most of you know, I do professional automotive photography as my job/hobby outside of the LEGO community. Turns out I do more car-related stuff than LEGO-related stuff nowadays though, but some people asked me about my work while I was at BrickFair New Jersey, and while I had just bought 10248 Ferrari F40, I decided to try combining my two hobbies. You can see my other work (of real cars, not LEGO) at https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgebarnick/. This was the first time I've tried photog
So I've been having this killer pain in my tailbone, and it's gotten so bad I can't walk or sit without pain. I went to an urgent care center and they diagnosed it as a pilonidal cyst. So long story short, I might be out of school for a while, or at least gym. If it worsens, it'll require surgery. .__. Also I'm working on Toy Fair 2013 recapping for The Chima Wiki. Stay tuned for that, though this recent complication may get in the way of that.
So jamesster and I were discussing LEGOLAND, and I realized how long ago it was that I was last at a LEGOLAND park. This is a picture of my most recent trip to LEGOLAND Cali: An while I'm at it, here is Aanchir, Lyichir and I at LEGOLAND Cali: (from left to right: My dad, Lyichir, Aanchir, me) Also, just if you are curious, here was my first experience with LEGO, at the age of 1:
Well, as you can see, I'm mostly inactive here on BZP anymore. Aside from BioniLUG, I've barely read a single topic recently, nor have I posted much at all. I guess it's three main causes for that... First, I really do not care one bit about Bionicle anymore, and it seems that any time people get the chance, they get all dramatic with "I guess this is the end", "I will wait for its return", etc. When I see that, I try not to be rude, but all I wish to say is "Grow up and move on". I know it's
The Ninjago Wiki has received confirmation of Ninjago to continue in 2014. The Ninjago Wiki will be bringing you more information and answering these FAQs shortly: Will there be more sets? Yes, there will in fact be more sets in 2014. [*]Will the TV series on Cartoon Network continue? [*]What will happen to Chima and Ninjago in 2014 being at the same time? Lemme hear your thoughts!
Okay, so Toy News magazine predicts that Legends of Chima will be the must-have boys toy in 2013. Also, an interview with a LEGO employee has confirmed Chima constraction (Hero Factory-like) sets and Chima board games for late 2013. Also, the Gorilla Clan is now confirmed. From the interview: This is a good day.
This weekend I had the privilege of going to KidsFest in Richmond. Even with my pilonidal cyst making it annoying to walk or sit, I had a good time. Sometime once I finish Toy Fair coverage, I'll put up coverage on The Chima Wiki. With permission from Black Six, since I reached my Flickr upload limit, here are all of my photos on The Chima Wiki's Facebook: http://fb.me/1x9zhik8M The Chima section was really fun. It seemed quite popular, though I suck with Speedorz (I'm practicing though), bu
