Weekly Update - 9/4


Black Six

609 views

Intro

It's that time again. You guessed it! It's time for our Weekly Update! Hooray!

 

Updates

First off, and let me make this very clear:

 

Do NOT post The Legend Reborn spoilers AT ALL until September 29th.

 

Additionally, and I thought this would be obvious:

 

Downloading movies online is ILLEGAL. Do not post links to downloads or discuss them on BZPower.

 

So, anyway, the BrickFair coverage has finally been going up. We have a long summary of the event, the second episode of the Powercast (which discusses BrickFair), our pictures of the event, and our pictures of some of the MOCs (more to come, honest!). A thousand pictures is a lot, and I have other stuff to worry about and deal with too, but we're getting there. We're also working on editing together the review (it needs quite a bit of work, who new BZPower Staff could be so crazy?). That will get posted eventually. Next year you should come to the event so you don't have to wait for us to post news stories about it!

 

Speaking of events, if you live in the Salt Lake City area, you have a chance to meet Greg Farshtey at Wal Mart in October. Fun fun!

 

Speaking of really cool events, The Legend Reborn gets released in the United States in eleven days! The lucky Australians have it already, and what I've heard has been a little mixed but generally positive. I guess I'll have to wait until the fifteenth to find out for myself.

Thanks for clearing up the issue about discussing the movie after downloading it/watching it online. :) You may want to add that rule to the header in Bionicle Movies & Books, though, since a lot of people who streamed or downloaded it are discussing it there (spoiler-free, as far as I know), and I was confused myself about whether that was allowed until I saw this post.

 

Also, I have to agree with you about CoT. :P

I am now using this as my answer to that question. (Before that I would say it's all full of something.)

 

Yay BrickFair! I should probably type up some info about the various themes...

Get rid of COT; it's no good. And take LGD while you're at it. :evilgrin:

But that's the best forum! :o

 

System is way better than lame-o BIONICLE. :P

No man! We have a quality Fan-Created Game in LGD. It stays in my book! :P

 

I should've known you didn't follow the storyline that much, I don't know why I was surprised at first (like most of the upper staff don't follow it).

What I meant was you can't discuss illegally downloading it. Discussing the movie (without spoilers) is fine.

 

Also Farscape ftw.

:D

Yes, get rid of COT. :sly: It is where I like approving posts the least- COT is so messy!

Just kidding of course, I know many people like COT (just think of the April folls prank in 2007 when you deleted LGD and COT). I still don´t like it, though.

System? You mean like Xbox 360? :D

Woah, woah, woah, wait a minute. There's a storyline now? When did that happen? :P

BZP>Xbox in my opinion. BZP encourages creativity and discussion, while 360 encourages the opposite. :P

 

I think Lego threw away a huge opportunity with TLR. I mean, I think the least they could've done was make the action less cartoony, and I didn't even see that in any of the previews we got. I think it's safe to say I'll be waiting for this one to re-air over TV before I watch it.
