So I've been kinda inactive the past few weeks, and to be perfectly honest a big part of that is that I really struggle to think of many compelling, enjoyable parts of BZP's community anymore, and plenty of things that rub me very much the wrong way, so I might just end up becoming less active in-general on here. But I digress, because I've seen a lot of people posting here about that new video game with Tyrion in it, and I was already planning to post my thoughts on another website's blog, so I
While they may be political figures, I don't think there's any political statement in this, so I think it should be okay. The only statement I can find is that "George Washington could totally dunk on Kim Jong Un", which, considering he was five inches taller, I think is a reasonable statement.
So I went to do some Hanukkah shopping, and while browsing the toy section, I ran across this guy. He was the only Bionice I could find out, so I tracked down a sales guy and asked if he could tell me if there were others out. As some might recall, I was originally really down on the new sets, so I was hoping there would be some on-display somewhere. That, and Tahu was my first Bionicle, I wanted him more than Lewa. Apparently these aren't supposed to come out until January, and someone put it o
They did it. They won. 100,000 people playing Pokémon simultaneously with a twenty second input delay have beaten the Elite Four and the League Champion. Twitch TV beat Pokémon Red. Life is amazing.
So around this time of year I hear a lot of scrooges trying to dampen the holiday mood by saying something along the lines of "You know, people commit suicide more often around Christmas. It's a shame how people get so stressed out over gifts that they end their lives." Well, no more! Because that is 100% false! I'm bringing this up right now because I've heard this four or five times in the last three days, and it annoys me incredibly. I don't even celebrate Christmas and I love the holiday
I am completely fine with being proven wrong. I am completely fine admitting that someone has shown what I said to be incorrect. I have no issues apologizing for being adamant about something that was wrong that I did/said/etc. To be perfectly frank I’ve always felt that being honest, even if that means getting egg on your face, and admitting to your mistakes when they happen or are proven wrong, is both a much better way to maintain respect of others, and a much better and healthier menta
Having now actually looked at the reborted Bioniceties, I'll be perfectly honest: I am really disappointed. The masks look less like magical artifacts and more like a cross between an industrial welder's mask and a goalie's facemask, the armor looks less like Lego and more like Megablocks, the hand pieces look even more ridiculous than they did a few years ago(Want some cool Bionicle hands? Look no further than Axonn's giant four-fingered maulers. Otherwise these did just fine without looking
It boggles my mind sometimes how people will completely cut someone out of their life just because of a disagreement. The minute they don't 100% agree and get along with someone, it's like they never knew them. If a friend or acquaintance disagrees with you, that doesn't mean you should cut off all contact with them, or treat them any different than before. Disagreements are perfectly natural and reasonable, and if anything, it's a good sign indicative that you're both able to think for yourse
So I haven't been writing lately because school wants me to become a zombie. Seriously I've been tired before but I have never been as tired as I was this past Friday. Monday through thursday I'm pretty sure I didn't get more than four hours of sleep even once. I haven't slept as soundly as I did last night in a very long time. Thank god I have a light schedule next semester... But anyway, since I'm still alive but can't take much time to write up a ton of content, here's a cool free album o
Gotta be honest, I'm probably just going to be in it for the new sets and pieces. I really hope they go back to the old Mata-style days where you had actual unique characteristics to each figure and gear mechanisms and springs and all that cool stuff, instead of just being glorified action figures with different masks and color schemes.
Someone just bought my $5 album on Bandcamp. For $250. There are words that can describe how amazed and thrilled I am, but I cannot say them here. Thank you, person-I-will-not-name-for-legal-reasons. You are a godsend.
Rant time!
Today's subject would be the #####'s who drive around blasting the bass on their speakers.
I'm fine with volume to a certain level. If I can hear it to the point it's not overpoweringly loud I'll just turn on my own radio to drown it out. But when you have it so ##### loud and so ##### deep that the windows of the hardware store you're in the parking lot are shaking as if they're going to break, turn the ##### thing down!
I mean, what are you trying to do, audition for Geddy
If you want me to take the time to hear your argument out, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for me. If you want me to be respectful and reasonable in my response, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for me. If you want me to take you seriously and give genuine consideration to what you're saying, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for me. If you want me to refrain from insults and ad hominem and treat you with respect, then I'm going to expect you to do the same for m
So, the Korra ending. That was...a thing. Still not sure how I feel about it. I think I liked it, but right now the whole thing's still just washing over me. I'll get back to you in a day or two.
It's only four years away now, so lets turn on Huey Lewis & The News and run down the list of stuff from the 2015 scenes in the second movie and see if we're coming close.
So out of 37 things, with three-five more years for development, we have 13 we've done, 16 we haven't, 3 that exist, but nothing like they did in the movies, and 5 that're being developed. Overall, given it was optimistic enough to have flying cars, hoverboards, robots, bionic implants and all that commonplace, I th
So, lately there's been a lot of pony hate. Or so I've read, I never actually saw any of it, I assume it was deleted or something. But anyway, as someone who's popular in the blog circle in the same way that The Room is popular amongst film fans, I figured I'd weigh in. Both sides need to chill. I think that's a definite, and I say that as someone who considers themselves a Brony, so doesn't exactly have much reason to go after the community unless most of us deserve it, which we do. I enjoy
