I've renewed my Premier Membership for another year. Pretty fast too. I filled out the form this morning.
Yeah... I can't think of anything else to write here...
Why do I have a blog again?
*First person to correctly name the movie the blog entrie's reference gets a picture of a cookie.
Hope everyone is enjoying labor day.
I got Guitar Hero 5 (XBox 360) the other day, and have basically been playing it non stop. The party mode and ability to play as your avatar is awesome. Now we just have to see if a future Rock band game does the same thing
Also, new moc up. This isn't the one I mentioned in an earlier entry, but one that I had built about a week later.
Also, my premier membership is due to expire soon, (September 24th to be exact), so expect a short* interruption
I got this at my local Lego store (The one in Bellevue) during the forum downtime, and am just now remembering to post pics.
Just the space needle
With the box
It was a fairly quick and easy build, I had it mostly built, except for the three tube thingeys that were required to be cut about an inch shorter before they could be put into place. The set is about 9 inches tall (22 centimeters). My only complaint is that the set is grey while the actual space needle is white, but that can easil
Last week I bought the Conduit for the Wii. Looks like we finally have a developer thats taking the Wii seriously.
Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone here plays it online. I've already posted my codes in the Wii friend code topic, but nobody else there has posted codes for the Conduit. If you play the Conduit over Nintendo WFC, please add me (And PM me if you do!)
Game: The Conduit
Code: 2665-0145-6718
Name: Serpent
Edit: I think that I should probably add that I do not have a Wii Spe

So I was in WalMart today, and happened to find Axalara marked down to $32. Since I hadn't bought the set yet because of the price, I could not let the opportunity pass me by. So I bought ti.
Wow.
I have not spent that much time building a set since I got Muaka and Kane Ra back in 2001. I spent about 2 hours building it. It was a great set to build. While the functions aren't as great as the ones in the early years, they are still a neat little feature that makes the build a whole lot mo
I spent a sizable portion of my day today doing some MoCing, and I am very pleased with the results. First, the old MoC, Toa Attei, has undergone it's final round of modifications. I am officially done working on it, considering its not really much of a self moc anymore since I changed my name.
I'll be posting Toa Attei in a topic in the near future, but it won't be the main attraction of the topic. Toa Attei will appear alongside... something else. Something big. I hope you like silver.
I finally got around to entering My entry in the latest BBC contest.
I've also managed to get a hold of the Mata Nui set (Two actually, I wanted the Keetorange pieces. And a spare Ignika). Despite a few flaws in the set's proportions, its a great set. Get it if you can.
*I just realized that this is my third blog entry in a row to have BBC 54 in the title.
Have there really been 54 BBC contests? Wow.
Anyway, check out the BBC Contest 54 Topic if you haven't already. Anything goes in this one, as long as there's no system. I can't wait to see what people come up with. Deadline is June 16.
My entry is almost finished, I just need to go back to it in a few days to check to see what small changes need to be made and refine it a little.
And no, its not a humanoid.
The last few traces of my old screen name (Attei) have gone away. The At-Sign HQ is now shut down.
This is the Serpent's Den. Welcome to my lair...
I've also moved my content blocks to the left side of the screen, and reduced their width to 200 pixels (Formerly 250 pixels). Since I don't really get that many comments, I've set the comments so that they no longer need to be approved by me to be posted. I'll probably change that back at some point in time.
Thats it for now, unless you
Finally got a Skrall today. Canister sets haven't been this good in a while. As I was putting it together I noticed that the helmet and shield have kind of a rocky texture in places. It looks pretty good standing next to Atakus and Kithnar.
I'm definitely going to have to get Tuma and Stronius, when it comes out.
So my dad and I went to see the new Star Trek movie today.
It.
Was.
Awesome!
I can't really say much without ruining it but

I've said too much...
They should have brought JJ Abrams in to do Star Trek movies a long time ago.
I was clearing out my emails inbox when I stumbled across something I had forgotten about. Archived PMs.
I don't know how many people know about this, or even use it, but with the loss of server information, I think this merits a blog entry.

So I've finally gone and done something I've been thinking about for a while. I've changed my name from Attei to serpent of fire, to match my Xbox Live gamertag. I'm taking down my at-sign avatar/seal not that it doesn't make any sense anymore. (You see Attei starts with "at" which is what the @ means...)
So the forums are back online. I'd like to give a big thanks to the staff for their hard work.
Some topics couldn't be restored though, but at least nobody lost their accounts. Luckily the Wii Friend Code Topic, however, if you posted your codes after August 2008, you will need to repost them because they did not survive the downtime.
So with the teaser for the new Bionicle movie being on the front page, I thought I'd take a screenshot...

I gotta say, I really like the way the sets were made for this movie better than the others. This one stays true to the sets, unike the last three movies.

Strakk
In my last entry, I said a local Fred Meyer store has the Glatorian. Today I was back and picked up Strakk. Here's a quick little review.
I'll skip the presentation aspect of the review.
Building:
Building Strakk is about as quick as the standard canister set. In terms of new pieces, Strakk has 2 ice armor pieces, his head, his mask/helmet, thornax/launcher, life counter, hands, and his axe. The set uses an L shaped Mistiksa and Phantoka to Matoran connection piece to conect
