Just to let you know...

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random May 20 2013 · 0 views

...I have just watched my first episode of Doctor Who ("Rose," Reboot Series) today and well, I am interested in seeing more of it. So I imagine I am going to be watching a lot of that during this week now. XD
 
Hm...I am not sure what else say here really. I guess I'll give you my brief thoughts of the first episode. For the most part, I think it was kind of cheesy in places. However I can't say that turn me off to show since I quite enjoyed laughing at some of stuff like the plastic people.
 
That and well, the mystery of this Doctor character interest me, especially considering there appears be some hints of regret in him by what was briefly mention of the war when he was talking to thing commanding the plastic people (Or maybe, I am just reading too much into things. *shrugs*). So yeah, it is definitely got me hooked in that regard and well, I have been told it get less cheesy as it goes on, so there is that.
 
Uh, that's all I can really think to say about it at the moment. I might edit this with some other thoughts later. *shrugs* But for now, I got to go to bed. So thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a great day. Night, BZPers.

Return of the Rambling...

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random May 07 2013 · 0 views

Hey, folks. It been awhile since I posted an entry here, so I thought I would pop in and let you know how I am doing.
 
Really there's not much to say since not a whole lot been happening with me lately. I just been going to work like usual and playing games like Fire Emblem: Awakening & Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon during my off hours from work. Yeah, my life's kind of dull, but I can't complain really.
 
Hm...What should I talk about? Well, I guess I could mention I am working on some plans for the summer. The first plan is I am going to be trying to attend the Zelda Symphony since apparently it is in Pennsylvania and looks like it will be close enough for me to get there. So that should be fun trip for me, especially since I am probably going with my good friend (Assuming of course, he isn't in Florida that week visiting his grandmother.).
 
As for the other plan, there is a slight possibility that I might appear for a day again at BrickFair VA this year. Hopefully I'll actually say hello to people, if that actually does happen. *shrugs*
 
Outside of that stuff, I been thinking about writing a few entries here about my thoughts on some BIONICLE related stuff. No idea when that's going to happen though since I need to be in right mood to write them. I imagine it will be on weekend since those are my chiller days.
 
Oh, and I am going to try to maybe get a little review out for LEGO City: Undercover this month. Again, that will probably happen on the weekend since I have a lot more free time during those days.
 
Uh, that's about all I have to talk about really. I apologize if reading this entry was boring to you guys. Hopefully future entries this month will be more interesting. *shrugs* But anyway, it is getting late here, so I should probably hit the hay. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a good day. Night, BZPers.

21 Years of Life - The Belated Entry

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random, Real Life Apr 21 2013 · 56 views

Hey, folks. I am just pop in today like I usually do to tell you how my birthday went yesterday. Don't worried folks I am not going to rib you all like I did last year for not making a topic since honestly it is not that big of a deal.
 
But anyway, my birthday yesterday was pretty good. I spent most of my day hanging out with my best friend (Which by the way, he is same guy that made me getting visit BrickFair for a day last year possible, so he is pretty awesome friend, if you asked me.). And well, we mostly played video games and talk about vary of things on our minds. It was nice, especially considering I don't get to regularly converse with people, beside my family, very often.
 
Oh, and the games that we played were New Super Mario Bros Wii and Kirby's Return to Dreamland. In NSMBW, we were picking up where we were last time, so we beat the World 8 and saved the Princess. Hm...And if any Luigi fans were watching us, they probably would of cry since I kept dying with him as I am awful at platforming games. So yeah, sorry to Luigi for disgracing you on your year in the spotlight.
 
Speaking of Luigi, my friend apparently felt like getting me something for my birthday (Much like I had last year when I got him Kid Icarus: Uprising, which I am still not sure he has actually played. I hope he at least gave it a try though.), so I now have a copy of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. So that's pretty awesome, although it does throw a wrench in my plans of getting back to Fire Emblem: Awakening (Which I was planning to do since I had beaten LEGO City: Undercover story mode.) anytime soon. XD
 
But anyway, in Kirby's Return to Dreamland, we got to Level 7: Dangerous Dinner and after failing to beat that level several times due to my bad platforming skills and tired hands, we decided to call it a day since we been playing video games for like nine hours straight with a little break for pizza.
 
That and my friend had to start heading home since it was ten o'clock at night by this point and surprisingly his parents had yet to text him about being out so late like they usual do (I imagine it is because my father has that signal booster upstairs for his cellphone, so his phone got no signal due to that blocking it out probably.).
 
So yeah, we are probably going to pick up on that game next time we hang out (Which probably won't be till the summer since he still has school right now.). That should be fun. And I must say I am quite interesting in playing more Kirby games after playing this game and Kirby's Adventure recently. 
 
Alright, moving on from gaming talk, I guess I should answer the "do I feel any different now that I am 21?" question. Uh, the answer is not really and I honestly find it strange that people seem to have this idea that when you aged you like become a different person or something. I mean I guess it comes from the idea that when you grow older, you tend to reflect on past experiences and one would hope learn from them to do better in such situations in the future.
 
That make sense, I guess. But it is not like I personally have experienced that much of life yet since all I really do right now is just go to work really. *shrugs* Then again, if it is more about thinking about your regrets in life, I don't really need my birthday to make me think about that since I regularly do it already (The fact that I was too shy and scared to meet anyone at BrickFair last year is a good example of one such regret of mines.).
 
Alright, moving on from that topic, uh...I actually got nothing else to say really. So yeah, I guess that's it for this entry. Thanks for taking the time to read this, folks. And I hope you all have a good day. Talk to later, BZPers.

LEGO City Story Mode Completed!

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random, LEGO, Real Life Apr 14 2013 · 47 views

Hey, folks. I am just popping in real quick before I head off to bed to let you all know that I beat the story mode of LEGO City today. It was pretty good. I am actually tempted to get the 3DS prequel game now because I quite curious to see if the two games' stories link up in a way. 
 
But anyway, I would definitely recommend the game to you folks if you ever planning on getting a Wii U in the future. It is quite fun and there is plenty to do, even after the story mode since there is so many collectibles to collect (Which is probably going to take me awhile to get them all since the city over-world is so huge.). Oh, and the humor is pretty good. 
 
There's a lot references to movies and other LEGO themes as well. Plus, it even has some Nintendo references since they did helped make the game. Like for example, if you smash into fifty things in row in a car, your car will act like it has received a Star from Super Mario Bros.
 
Hm...You know I might do a review of this game when I finished collecting everything in. Uh, would you folks like to see that? I mean I can assume you all that I am not just going praise the game and claim its flawless as I do have some criticism of it here and there. Although obviously as you can probably tell, I do definitely like the game. *shrugs*
 
Alright, so beside my rambling about LEGO City, I guess can let you all know that everything went well with my father's birthday today. We took him and my grandfather out for dinner since well, both them had birthdays this week (My father turned 52; My grandfather turned 75.). Oh, and I had grilled cheese, so that was good dinner. 
 
Hm...And I got to watch a bit of Book 3 of Avatar: The Last Airbender this weekend as well. I'll have to finish it next weekend though since I didn't have time to watch through all the discs this weekend. Then again, my only friend in real life sounds like he wants to do something with me on my birthday, so I guess I won't be able to watch that again until Sunday probably.
 
So yeah, that was basically my weekend, folks. I should probably go bed. So thanks for reading this random entry of mines. I hope you all have a good day. Night, BZPers.

New Avatar

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random Apr 11 2013 · 69 views

Hey, folks. I am just popping in really quick to see what you all think of my new Avatar. Well, what you think, folks? :P
 
Don't worried, folks. This isn't a permanent change. I will be going back to my Zexion avatar eventually. I just changed to this one because that expression on Aang's face was priceless, so I had to make an avatar of it to show you guys.
 
Oh, and for those wondering, this picture of Aang is from new Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel (The Search), which I have just finished reading today and I thought it was great. Hm...I actually really want to talk about it here, but obviously I don't want to spoil things for you folks.
 
I will say this though, if you want to learn about the past of Zuko's mother, then I definitely recommend you pick this book up because there are quite a few flashbacks to Ursa's past in this. You also get to see Azula again, who is completely off her rocker!
 
Hm...Speaking of Avatar, anyone know when the Legend of Korra is starting Book 2? I am itching to see now what they have planned for Book 2. I might have to marathon Avatar: The Last Airbender this weekend since man, I am in mood to watch the series again. 
 
Alright, I think I kept you folks here long enough. Beside, I don't want to spent all my free time from work writing a blog entry, when I could be playing LEGO City: Undercover or Ni No Kuni. :P So yeah, that's enough rambling out of me. XD
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this entry and I hope you all have a good day. :) Talk to you later, BZPers.

Random Nighttime Thoughts

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random, Real Life Apr 08 2013 · 38 views

Hey, folks. I am popping in today to well, share some thoughts that I have been on my mind. I mean I guess I could say I am here to give you a life update.
 
But really nothing interesting has been going on lately, which admittedly has been bugging me lately since I feel like my life is becoming way too routine. I don't know. Maybe its just the loneliness element of my life that is finally getting to me now (Man, I would hate to imagine how bad it will get when I moved out my parents' home eventually.). *shrugs* Being a social train-wreck can do that, I guess.
 
Uh, yeah, you folks don't want to hear that. Uh...Work last week was good. I got to do a lot of SolidWorks stuff with this assembly that I am currently working on releasing books for each of its details. So that was nice.
 
Although I have to bother one of my supervisors about a lot of stuff since its been awhile since I have actually done manufacturing related stuff. And apparently it is going to be even more awhile because I am going to need to go back on quotes now since like I predicted, my co-workers have been neglecting it (Well, actually it is more like they just don't know how to make 3DVIA for MBD parts right.) and we keep getting flood with more and more quotes every day. So yeah, that's not great.
 
Oh, and speaking of SolidWorks stuff, apparently the school, that I graduated from last year, now teaches this program, so I kind of annoyed about that because most of stuff that I learned about it was all self-taught mostly. Although then again, considering how well their Professors taught Autodesk Inventor there, I probably would of learn nothing that I didn't already know from troubleshooting stuff by myself.
 
So yeah, it wouldn't be worth wasting money to take that class, especially considering I already do know how to use it. That and Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks are really not that different from each other. They just have slightly different interfaces is all. *shrugs*
 
Alright, enough about work, uh....Video Games? Actually that's bad topic since I hadn't play anything at all last week. Its not that I didn't want to. The internet just been too big of distracting at times with its videos and stuff. *shrugs*
 
Maybe I should change that for this coming week. Then again, maybe I should use that time to clean up this basement of mines since it has been a disorganization mess for so long (lol My bosses would probably find that funny considering how OCD I am about organizing stuff on my desk. XD).
 
Hm...Speaking of this week, my father will be turning 52 this Sunday (14th) and my grandfather's birthday is on the 12th, I believe. I could be wrong, but I believe we are taking the two of them out for Birthdays dinner on my father's birthday, so that should be interesting. Although unfortunately I am probably going end up smelling like cigarettes after that since both my aunt and grandfather smoke. 
 
Also coming up this month is my anniversary of working (19th), which is conveniently the day before my birthday, so it is pretty easy to remember. But yeah, on the 19th, I officially worked at this company for about three years now. This year obviously though will marked as the first year that I have work full time though.
 
Alright, I think I have rambled enough here. Apologizes for boring you all with my boring life talk here. I guess I'll talk to you all later. Thanks for reading this boring entry. I hope you all have a good night. Night, BZPers.

Ask JMJ Anything Entry 2

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random Apr 02 2013 · 88 views

Hey, folks. I know I made an entry like this before to ask me questions and I probably could just bumped it again. But I thought I might as well just make a new entry for it since if I did bumped it again and the entry actually got new questions, it would end up making it a bigger wall of text than it already is.
 
So yeah, I think starting fresh is a good idea. For those that want to know what was asked before, here's a link to that entry.
 
Alright, with that said, you guys should know the drill for these types of entries. And well, for those that don't, you are basically posting questions here that you want me to answer.

Okay, that's all I really have to say for this entry. So go ahead and ask me some questions, if you want. And well, if you don't want to, thanks for at least reading this entry.

Random Entry: LEGO City & A Question

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in BZPower, LEGO, Random Mar 31 2013 · 34 views

Hey, folks. I am just popping in to give you all a bit of an update.
 
Although then again, I am kind of more writing this entry to tell you all that LEGO City: Undercover is pretty awesome. And if you are thinking about getting a Wii U at any point in the future, you should definitely think about picking this game up because it is quite fun.
 
Really I could go on and on about the game here, but I think I am going to wait until I beat it in full before saying all my thoughts on it here. Heck, I might even do a review, if you folks really want me to. Hm...I doubt you would want that though. *shrugs*
 
But anyway, before I asked my question, I just want to officially announced that due to complains in the previous entry; I have retired my classic style for my posts here. So from this point on, I will be using nothing but default font and color for my posts here. Honestly I am not happy about this, but it is what you folks want, so I guess I'll listen to ya. *sigh* 
 
Now as I said in the entry itself, while I will be doing this from now on, I am not editing every post and blog entry that I have ever made on this site to remove my old style because it is more effort than I am willing to give for this silly thing. So be happy with what you get, folks.
 
Alright, moving on, I guess I'll ask this question, even though I am pretty sure answer will mostly be yes, you should. Should I check Doctor Who out? Just wondering because well, I know a lot of people here seem to like, so I thought maybe I should give it a try like I did MLP. So yeah, should I? Again, I am pretty sure the answer will be yes, but I thought I ask to make sure.
 
Okay, that's all I have for you folks. Hm...I probably would of talk about LEGO City some more. But well, I am kind of down in the dumps right now. I just don't feel like typing anymore than I already have. I am sorry, folks. Oh, and Happy Easter to those that celebrate it.
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a good day. Talk to later, BZPers.

Criticize Me!

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random Mar 27 2013 · 155 views

Hey, folks. I am just popping in to post a quick entry here to ask you all to criticize me.
 
Why you might ask? Because I feel like getting the input of others will help me strive to improve myself as a person. Preferably its constructive stuff and not just "I think you're horrible human being" or something like that.
 
So yeah, here is your opportunity to well, criticize me. That really all I have for you guys today since I doubt you want to hear about my stressful work day today. With that said, thanks for taking the time to read this, folks. And I hope you all are doing well. Talk to later, BZPers.

Rambling

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Video Games, Real Life, Random, LEGO Mar 23 2013 · 36 views

Hey, folks. I thought I would pop in today to share some thoughts that have been on my mind lately. No doubt this will be a very boring for you folks to read. But hey, this is a blog, so I might as used it for its designed purpose. :P
 
Alright, so to begin, I guess I can mention that I got LEGO City: Undercover recently for the Wii U. And what do I think of it? I honestly loved it. The humor is great. The story & the voice acting involved is pretty good. Really everything about it seems good to me.
 
Well, then again, there is one thing that I don't like and that is load times (They are pretty bad. Luckily they don't happen too often.). Although I think Wii U itself is more at fault than game itself. *shrugs* Hm...I also don't like that I don't have means to save on my own really since it kind of annoying having to depend on the game to autosave things.
 
As for work related stuff, things have been pretty good. I am still quite busy with quotes, which is kind of good (Since quotes means we could be getting orders for those parts, if our prices are viewed as fair enough to the buyers. And that's obviously a good thing because orders are the life force of the company.). Although I definitely can't say I am fan of working with quotes since they kind of trapped me at my desk for hours on end and there generally pretty dull since most of time, I don't get to model anything in SolidWorks. That and front office has a habit of doing things with quotes without telling Engineering department first.
 
But hey, they got to get done and I honestly trust myself to get it done correctly more so than some of my co-workers since I never cut corners in anything that I work on. And beside, my boss is trying to gradually get me out of working on quotes since he does feel my efforts would be better serve releasing books, especially considering we got a lot of jobs now coming in.
 
Although it would help if my friend would come to Engineering department more often since I am supposed to be training him to take the reigns for model based definition quotes. But unfortunately he still has a lot of scanning to do in the Inspection department, it seems. *shrugs* But yeah, that sums up work in a nut shell.
 
*yawn* Well, it is kind of late here, so I guess I can call this an entry and posted it. I mean yeah, I didn't really ramble a whole lot here, but honestly I am pretty sure you folks have better things to do with your time than read an entry from loser known as JMJ here. So yeah, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a good day. Night, BZPers.
