Criticize Me!

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random Mar 27 2013 · 160 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 · 45 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.

The Quest for Chase McCain

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in LEGO, Random Mar 18 2013 · 61 views

Hey, folks. I am just popping in to remind you all that LEGO City: Undercover (Which is for the Wii U.) has just came out today (18th). 
 
Now I don't have it, so I can't tell you anything about it. But I will be trying to get it tomorrow, so I might post a bit of thoughts here, if I get around to playing it at all. XD Unless of course, you folks don't want me talking about it.
 
Well, do you folks want me talk about it here? Just wondering.
 
Uh, that's really about it for this entry. Hm...I guess I can ask this again. Is anyone interested in one of these BZPower shirts? I am asking because I was planning on doing a bit of raffle for them. But I hadn't really seen any interest in them here yet, so I am not sure if I will do that or not. *shrugs*
 
Alright, thanks for taking the time to read this, folks. And I hope you all have a good day. Talk to later, BZPers.

Brotherhood and the Quest for a New Computer...

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in BZPower, Random, Real Life Mar 10 2013 · 64 views

Hey, folks. I am just popping in today to well, talk about some stuff that I was thinking about yesterday. I actually would of talk about this stuff last night, but my computer was having issues again. So I spent a good dealt of time yesterday taking things off this computer in hopes that resolve some of issues that I have. It appears to have worked since my computer running a bit better.
 
But anyway, before I get on that tangent, let's talk about the real important thing first, which is...I have finally gotten around to reading more of the awesome epic, Brotherhood, by former BZPower staff member, Janus. And I personally recommend that you all give it a read and if you can, give it a review because it definitely deserve some.
 
Especially considering it reminds me of why I love the library forums here because people are able to take what they want from BIonicle and build their own worlds from it. Its great and its why I want to try and get into habit of reading more literature here again I won't be joining any Critic clubs though since I don't have time for them because I work like over forty hours a week and I really don't want the pressure of having to write a quality review in a week's time. Beside, I am more of reviewer than critic, so I really don't fit in with their crowd honestly. *shrugs*
 
Speaking of reviews though, I am planning on reviewing Brotherhood at some point. I am, well, still debating on whether or not I should wait until he has posted all the chapters of this epic before I review it. Hm...I kind thinking of doing what I originally planning to do, which is review five chapters at a time.
 
I think the biggest issue with me trying to review this though is that my normal way of reviewing stories here, usually involves me print them out because I like to write mark ups on stories and denote certain things that I should focus on. Now this story is about 54 pages in Microsoft Word. So yeah, printing this out would not be ideal, especially if I wait to do a mega review of the whole thing in its entire. Hm...I guess I could do it the five chapter at time review way since that way I only have to print a bit of it at time. *shrugs* What do you folks think I should do? Just wondering.
 
Alright, moving on from that, I guess I can talk about the quest for a new computer. Really, there's not much say about this except well, that I am getting to point that I am just about to settle with just any new computer out there now (Even one with...Windows 8...) because the issues that I having with this one are just about getting on my last nerves, especially the shut down issues. So yeah, hopefully in a week or so, I'll be getting a new computer finally.
 
Will it be able do everything that I want? Probably not since I probably going settle with whatever computer that I find with my minimum requirements (Somewhat cheap price, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB hard-drive, and preferably a non-Intel graphics card.). *shrugs*
 
Alright, that's about it for entry. Well, I guess I can ask again if anyone is interested in one of these BZPower shirts. If you are, please do leave a comment saying you are interested in them.
 
Hm...I guess I could ask this as well. Does anyone here know how good bus transportation is in Virginia? Just wondering because I was thinking of using my one week's pay vacation during the summer to maybe take a trip down there to take in some sights there. Like go to some museums and maybe check out Washington DC since I only been there once during a school field trip and all I remember during my visit there is checking out the Lincoln Memorial.
 
Then again, I don't know since if I were to take that trip, I would probably be by myself, so I am not sure how comfortable I would be exploring a new place like that without anyone I know with me. *shrugs* 
 
Okay, I think I rambled here long enough, so I am going call this entry. Thanks for taking the time to read this, folks. And I hope you all have a good day. Talk to later, BZPers.

Random Entry: Modern JMJ vs Young JMJ

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random Mar 08 2013 · 48 views

Hey, BZPers. I am just popping in to ramble about random stuff for a bit. So yeah, this will probably be one of those free flowing thoughts entries that I occassionally write here.
 
Oh, wait...You probably wondering what the title about. Well, I thought I show you folks two pictures of myself since well, I thought you folks might be mildly interested in seeing what I looked as kid compared to how I look today. So yeah, here is a picture of young me and here is a picture of modern me. Yes, I am aware that modern me is ugly and needs a shave. XD
 
But anyway, what should I talk about here? Hm...I could talk about Ni No Kuni maybe. Nah, there is not a whole lot that I can talk about that since I don't want spoil plot things for people. Plus, I am not even that far into it anyway. Well, I guess I could ask for nicknames suggestions for familiars. Although I don't have any new familiar with me right now. It would be nice if you folks suggest some names for me since I am horrible at coming up with nicknames. *shrugs*
 
So what should I talk about? Well, I guess I could ask you folks this: Is anyone interest in getting one of Bionicle Raptor's BZPower shirts from last year? Just asking because I was planning on doing a raffle for them since I brought a bunch of them recently and well, I feel like polling interest level in such a raffle here. Knowing my luck, there's probably none. Which if it is that's case, I probably just donate the shirts to a clothes drive or something.
 
Although I am probably not going to use what is comment in this entry as final say on if I will do the raffle or not since I probably end up doing it anyway just in case someone overlook this entry and miss this information here. Still though, please leave a comment here, if you are interested in getting one of those shirts.
 
Alright, I think I am out of time now to ramble, so I guess I'll call this entry. Thanks for taking the time to read this, folks. And I hope all have a good day. Talk to later, BZPers.

Another life update...

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Random, Real Life Mar 03 2013 · 68 views

Hey, folks. I am just pop in again to give a life update. Yeah, I know you guys are probably like, "Oh, joy...Another life entry from the boring loser known as JMJ here." ... But well, I thought I might as well write another life entry in case any of your folks were worry about me for whatever reason since I mention last entry how I was a bit stress out by work lately.
 
So yeah, speaking of the work thing, I thankfully got some help from my fellow Engineering assistants and we were able to knock out quite a lot of quotes on Wednesday & Thursday. Unfortunately though, I kind of start getting sick on Thursday (I blame my boss since he was sick, but he still coming into work.), so I took off Friday from work to see if that would help me get over it faster.
 
And well, it seems to have done so because I am now feeling quite a bit better now. I am kind of worried though that my co-workers might of slack on the quotes awhile I was away, so hopefully they didn't. I especially hope they dealt with that quote due on Friday because last I checked, the quote wasn't available. Hm...I imagine the buyer probably gave us an extension on it since we had not access to it since he gave us the quote order on Monday.
 
But anyway, moving on from work, my mother has turned 52 last Friday and even though I was sick, I took my sister & mother out to dinner to celebrate her birthday (I would of took the whole Family, but my father was at work at the time and my younger brother was somewhere.).
 
So yeah, that was pretty nice. The place had some pretty good grill cheeses. Hm...You all probably don't know this, but I always order grill cheeses at restaurants. Why? Well, it is mostly because I am picky eater. That and well, I kind of like to mentally compared them to other grill cheeses that I have before. And while I wouldn't said it was the best grill cheese that I have before, it definitely was not bad. What can I say? That's just another example of how weird JMJ is.
 
Alright, so moving on from life stuff, I thought I might as well as ask if there is anything new that you want to see in my blog here. Like do you want to talk about LEGO more? Or maybe like a pick a random short story to review during my weekends? Or stop talking about life stuff here? You know whatever comes to mind as something that you like to see from me in the future. 
 
Okay, that's all I really have to talk about for this entry. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have good day. Talk to later, BZPers.

Random Life Update

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Video Games, Real Life Feb 28 2013 · 56 views

Hey, folks. Its been awhile since I post an entry here (You can blame working full time for that. And well, I am not having the best of time managing my free time. Sorry about that.), so I thought I take a few minutes to post a short update entry of sorts. 
 
So yeah, life been treating me pretty well lately. I can't complain really. Well, I can complain a little that my job has been a bit stressful lately. Enough so, that my latent nerves issue is starting to make a come back since I am having a lot of stomach problems lately. 
 
But eh, I am alright. Its nothing to get to worry about. I am just getting stress out a bit by some of pressure that I am feeling from dealing with all these quote jobs (Seriously I had like 2 quotes left last Saturday and by this Monday, I got 38 new quotes that are due in less than a week [Thankfully I do have a bit of help and we have knock it down a bit since then.]. Argh...).
 
But anyway, enough work talk (Since after all, I doubt you guys are interested in hearing me talk about work here. *shrugs*)....Uh, what I should talk about here? Well, I guess I could mention that I named my first three familiars in Ni No Kuni after Spike (from MLP: FiM), Momo (from Avatar: TLA), and Tingle (from the Legends of Zelda).
 
I also unfortunately hadn't read much else of Hyrule Historia since my last entry here because well, I kind of worried it will tempted me to read Skyward Sword spoilers and I don't want to do that since I feel it will spoil my experience of the game (Which speaking of that, I really need to get around to playing that again.). So yeah, no Hyrule Historia until I beat Skyward Sword, which I am probably not going to get back to playing that until after I beat Fire Emblem: Awakening. 
 
Speaking of that, I am currently on chapter 9 of that so far and I must say I am liking it mostly. Oh, and for those wondering, I am playing it on easier difficult mode since otherwise I am going to throw my 3DS out a window since I absolutely refuse to let anyone die. So yeah, I am wimp. Heck, I even put on my streetpass card that I am a total loser. XD
 
Well, it is getting late, so I better head off for the night. Apologizes for short and boring entry, folks. I hope you all are having a good week. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Good Night, BZPers.

*Zelda Treasure Music plays*

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Video Games, Random Feb 05 2013 · 88 views

I got the things! :)
 
***
 
Hey, folks. I just thought I pop in really quick to tell you that I just got my copy of Hyrule Historia today in the mail. Of course, I didn't just get that today, I also got my copy of Ni No Kuni. YAY! :)
 
And man, I am conflicted about which to unwrap first since I know whichever one I choose, I will end up getting full adsorb in for rest of my night's worth of free time.
 
Hm...Maybe I should ask you all which one that I should unwrap first? Nah, I can do that myself, especially considering that would required me to wait even longer to unwrap them since you folks usually don't comment here for me instantly. :P
 
Uh, I was going to talk about something else here as well, but I think I hear something calling my name. So yeah, thanks for taking the time to read this short entry and I hope you all have a good day. Talk to you later, BZPers. 
 
...
 
*runs off to play Ni No Kuni*
 
*unwraps Hyrule Historia instead and start reading it* :P

Suggest PS3 games for me to check out...

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in Video Games, Random Jan 27 2013 · 118 views

Hey, folks. I am just pop in today to ask if any of you know of some good PS3 games for me check out since well, I kind feel like to branch out some more from Nintendo stuff that I usually play. So yeah, if you know of any good games for the PS3, feel free to recommend some to me here.
 
Hm...I guess I should mention what games that I have already on the system. I have the following games on my PS3:
- Portal 2 (Mostly because for the timing being I can't play it on my PC. That and well, my sister brought it for me since I was one that brought PS3 from our brother [Yeah, he made me pay him for something that got free...])
- Darksiders (I brought this game awhile back. I just hadn't gotten around to playing it. Hm...I maybe starting this game next weekend, if I don't get distracted by other things.)
- Journey (Which I brought recently and I have beaten it in about three hours. Oh, and I am planning on maybe doing of a review of it here since I kind of feel like talking about my feelings and thoughts of it as whole.)
EDITED: - Okami HD (Just downloaded it yesterday on my PS3. Thanks Chols for suggesting it.)
 - Ni No Kuni (I just got this today (02-05-2013) and I am now off to go play it now. :) )
 
Games suggested:
- Uncharted Trilogy
- NieR
- Yakuza Series
- inFamous 1 & 2
- Shadow of Colossus
- Jak and Daxter HD Remake
- Ratchet and Clank HD Remake
- Sly Cooper
- Flower

Games own by my sister:
- LittleBigPlanet
- SoulCalibur IV

Oh, and I am thinking about getting Ni No Kuni since that game looks pretty good from what I seen of it. So yeah, with that said, I guess RPGs and action games would be good ones to suggest to me. So if you know of any good ones, feel free to suggest them here.
 
And for those wondering, my PSN ID is BZP64JMJ. You can add me there, if you want.
 
Alright, that's all I really have to talk about for this entry. I would greatly appreciate it if you could suggest some PS3 games for me to check out. If not though, thanks anyway for checking this entry out and I hope you all have a good day. Talk to you later, folks.

Late Night Rambling

Posted by Jedi Master J. , in BZPower, Nintendo, Random, Real Life Jan 25 2013 · 52 views

Hey, folks. Like I said yesterday, I am back to ramble for a bit here.
 
Before I do though, I just want to apologize for well, disappearing and all for past few days. You see apparently adjusting to working full time is harder than I was expecting, especially when it comes to my sleep schedule. And well, a lot of BZPower blog entries are well written at like near midnight hours. So yeah, writing blog entries wasn't going to help with that. If anything, I probably shouldn't be even writing this now since it almost midnight here and all.
 
But well, I feel like I owe you folks an update, so I just have to deal with it (lol I'll probably be kicking myself for saying that tomorrow). So yeah, with that said and all, sorry for lack of active from me lately.
 
Alright, moving on from that, I guess I can ramble about... Hm...What should I talk about here? Well, I guess I could mention that I got a raise at work today. Hm...No, actually that's not very interesting thing to mention here since there isn't really an interest story behind it or anything. I just got my degree last semester and well, my boss decided to recommend I get a raise when he was made aware of that fact. Yeah, it is boring story and I doubt you folks care to hear about dull life of JMJ anyway.
 
So what should I talk about then? Well, I guess I can mention that I am quite excited about a lot of Wii U games for this year and probably next year (Since obviously stuff like Bayonetta 2 are probably not going be coming out this year considering how far they are in development with it.). I think what I am looking forward to the most at the moment is Wind Waker remake since it is, well, a Zelda title and based on pictures, the graphics look really good on the Wii U. Plus, Wind Waker is kind of my favorite Zelda game, so it is hard not to be excited about a remake of it, even though technically I could just pull out my GameCube and play it again if I really want to.
 
Hm...Another Wii U title that I am excited is whatever Monolith Soft is working on because based on in development footage, the game looks pretty awesome. I especially like fact that there might be mechs in it. But yeah, I am definitely looking forward to seeing more news on this game in the future.
 
Alright, moving on from that topic, I guess I can talk about some blog plans that I have currently. The first, well, being that I think I might end up having an entry here that will kind of be a monthly weight in thing. Why? Because I think it will help motive me to start losing some weight and get into the habit of exercising regularly.
 
Hm...Honestly I doubt you guys would care to see an entry like that, so I guess I could keep track my weight a different way. Especially if that end up annoying you folks, which I don't want to do. *shrugs* I guess I'll leave it up to you folks to decide really.
 
As for other blog plans, I may be hosting a contest here in the future. I am not sure what type of contest it will be though. So you know what how about folks tell me what you prefer to see: a Writing Contest or a MOC Contest?
 
Okay, I think ramble enough here. Well, actually no, I don't think I have. But honestly I need to go to bed, so that getting up at 6 AM won't be worst. With that said, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a good day. Night, BZPers.
