@thethreevirtues

Hello BZPower members, this is Mesonak, here to bring you...

-

-

That's right everyone, TTV has returned! A quick forewarning; if you decide to listen to our episodes, don't get turned off by the first couple. The quality of our podcast has improved drastically over time. Enjoy!

-

What is The Three Virtues? It's an on-going podcast, by members, for members. It's the successor to iBZP, the original Independent BIONICLE Zone Podcast, created by now-second-in-command Varderan. iBZP was originally created by Varderan as a means of providing a form of entertainment for us and the fanbase at large that not only featured discussion on ongoing events surrounding BIONICLE, but also BZPower and the current events in the community. After BIONICLE's unfortunate end, discussion of its successor, Hero Factory, was also added to our plate of topics.

-

iBZP thrived for a while, but never really reached its potential popularity wise. Due to various issues, Varderan eventually resigned from his position as Main Host, handing the job over to me. I decided to carry out a plan Var was going to go through with regardless; rebrand the podcast under a different name, The Three Virtues, and revamp the content, hosts, and overall quality of the podcast.

-

That plan has paid off in the long run; before BZPower's downtime, TTV was thriving. When BZPower went down for six months, production of the weekly episodes (as well as the mid-week BioTalk) reached an understandable standstill. Now that BZP is back, we hope to continue with our regularly scheduled podcast and bring you the same quality of entertainment that we used to deliver. We hope you'll join us for the ride.

Segments:
-
Introduction: The cast breaks the ice with some random discussion, and then the intro music plays.

News: The cast discusses the BZPower front page news, from oldest to newest.

Hot Topics: The cast cycles through the list of hot topics, picking out three topics to discuss.

What the Heck with THEDUDEOFDUDEZ: Hosted by Mesonak, I pick out something odd in the world of BIONICLE, BZPower, or Hero Factory, and rant about it for a while. Appearance of this segment varies depending on the material.

Comic Maker Spotlight: Hosted by Eljay, this segment involves Eljay offering constructive criticism to a comic maker, who is chosen at random.

MoC Spotlight: Our resident BBC expert Tom reviews a selection of MoCs from the BBC forum, offering constructive criticism to their creators.

General Artwork Segment: Our workaholic host Varderan takes a look at the General Artwork forum, offering a wide range of advice to the members there, and participating in discussions regarding the forum itself.

Conclusion: The cast finishes with some witty banter, and the ending music plays.

-

Special segments:

-

You've got mail: Listen up, people. You can send stuff in to us. Just PM me a comment, a question, an opinion, a statement, or whatever you want. We'll discuss it on an episode. This is probably the easiest way to get mentioned in TTV.

BioTalk: Hosted by Eljay, we take a look at various things pertaining to BIONICLE, such as the OGD and/or topics in GD/Storyline and Theories.

Around BZP in 80 Seconds: Varderan quickly runs through current events in three different forums; in 80 seconds, of course.

On October 17th, 2010, TTV interviewed Leigh Gallagher, the BIONICLE comic artist for 2008. Was a very enjoyable experience; he's a great guy.

SO GUYS, NEW EPISODE SHOULD BE OUT TOMORROW

Just kidding. But I'm wondering if BioTalk will resume now. Or if ther's just not enough to discuss.

[Mesonak]

BioTalk will probably resume when/if the OGD/OGQ or whatever they're calling it now gets restarted in a timely manner.

and XD.

-Mesonak

[Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen]

Very happy to see this back up! I personally can not wait for us to be up and running again, making jokes and having myself run away from the rocks you guys throw at me!

[Tavakai]

Cool, it's back up. Which reminds me, I've had that Dark709 interview saved on my computer for probably seven or eight months and I haven't gotten around to listening to it.

[Chibinuva]

Awesome. How is the work on Biocraft going, since I'm am an avid fan of both Bionicle and Minecraft, and am eager to seeing the movie (or map downloads.)

[Starparu]

Ah, TTV, Any chance I can guest star someday ?. Been so long since I did the podcast, I think it was still iBZP

-Star

[Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen]

Awesome. How is the work on Biocraft going, since I'm am an avid fan of both Bionicle and Minecraft, and am eager to seeing the movie (or map downloads.)

Well, that would be best asked in the actual BioCraft topic.

[Illustrious Var]

Ah, TTV, Any chance I can guest star someday ?. Been so long since I did the podcast, I think it was still iBZP

-Star

Well of course you can, just hook us up on Skype and we can pick a time.

[Starparu]

Thanks Var, I'll hop on later tonight or tommorow

[The Venom]

The thing I like most about this podcast is its liveliness.
When someone says something that makes the rest of the cast burst out laughing,
you find yourself laughing along with them, and you feel like you're part of the podcast.
And that is a pretty cool feeling that's rare to achieve.

Great work, TTV. Looking forward to future episodes.
(And my prolonged guest appearance)

Yeah you've gotta guest sometime too, Ven. It must be done.

-Mesonak

[Cobui]

Could you guys fix the link for the Nuparurocks episode? It keeps linking me to the LR interview instead.

[Jerzy]

You guys are doing Fantastic with show, I really love what your doing with it. It's an awesome Podcast and I think it deserves more attention then it's getting now. Love the show guys.


*Also, uh, I bet you all know me after I posted this and you checked out my Profile. And I wanted to add something on to the post, but i didn't think anyone would see it. This is addressed to Varderan, Mesonak and Eljay: I've done some terrible things over the last year, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't remember them. I'd also be lying if I said that I expect you to forgive me. I just wanted to say how sorry I am, for all the things I did. I'm sorry for causing so much trouble. I've said this before, you've even excepted my Apologies, and I've betrayed you all and made you mad at me once again. I really want to express how bad I feel, looking back. I feel worse now than I did then, and I don't expect you to accept my apology or forgive me, but I do feel bad I will always feel bad about the actions of which I have done.



I'm so sorry.......

[Youmu Konpaku]

Ah yes, now that BZP's back it's time to party!

With the news getting updated and now the fanworks back, hopefully we'll be able to get some episodes done soon.

*Is excited for actual MOC reviews*

[Architect]

Ohai TTV-associated people.

Meso, Var, Eljay: I can edit episodes for you whenever you want, but be warned, I might be a bit slow at first. And uh, apologies again for the incident on MakutaFest. I mentioned to Meso that he could have it edited out if he felt like it, but he may not have gotten the message on Skype. Sorry for obnoxiousifying your live show, guys.

Also, Potuto: Congrats on the host position. =D

...That is all.

Edited by Thylon Rykanu, Oct 15 2011 - 07:35 PM.

[Mesonak]

No probs. It wasn't that big of a deal, so it wasn't edited out of the show. But thanks for apologizing, all's good.

And that's good to know. Thanks for informing us.

Also, working on the problem regarding the Nuparurocks interview. I'll get to that ASAP.

-Mesonak

[Lord Kini Hawkeye]

Ah... Beautiful... Wonderful... TTV...

God it's been so long, i didn't even realize how many episodes you guys were up to.

Ahem *Coughspluttergagchoke*

I want to guest star >:L

Just one episode, considering i'm no longer the highest pitched voice and am probably one of the deeper ones now =P

I want to guest star just once... I dunno about yu guys but i'd like to think that i'm owed at least that. =P

[Garda]

I am kind of curious.. I know you guys have been busy with BZP coming up and all, and of course Minecraft, and Biocraft. But whatever happened to me and Darcsyde's interview..? Did it get lost.. Or has it just not been edited yet..?

Edited by Garda, Oct 17 2011 - 09:50 PM.

[FeeFee]

Oo yay, TTV's back Do you guys happen to still have Lord Oblivion and Thylon's MOCist interviews? I was looking forward to hearing them before the forums went down.

-FtC

[Koro-Chaos]

Hail the triumphant returning TTV!
Hey guy so glad to see you on the other side of the forum down time! I savored MF11 and your various other publications during that time! So, how are you doing and whats the next for TTV episodes? Also I was wondering if I could be it? I already have Skype, but I just need to learn how to use it. I also have trusted sources to help me. (Look at Search Bar) If this could happen, it would be great! Also, remember that Email I sent you? Which podcast is that? Anyway, I'm so glad you're back! I will look forward to more TTV!

> Koro-Chaos

[Chibinuva]

Given how awesome your podcasts are, I for one would like to guest star. Now, to print up a trollface I can wear...

[Architect]

Hm, speaking of interviews, I told Sumiki after mine was finished that I wanted to redo it...which is almost definitely not possible, but I'd probably be able to answer the questions better the second time around. Plus I swear my voice has changed somehow since that interview--how exactly, I'm not sure, but it sounds like it to me. XD

So don't take this as a real request for a second interview. But yeah...did Sumiki ever finish editing the first?

Edited by Thylon Rykanu, Oct 18 2011 - 07:36 PM.

[FeeFee]

Haha yeah Thy, I'd love to redo mine too. Looking back, I knew practically NOTHING about MOCing compared to now... ah well, what's done is done.

-FtC

[Brickeens]

Everybody who's been on for an interview thinks they could have done better when they re-listen. I wouldn't worry about it. I felt the same way.

[Starparu]

Hey guys. Any new episodes finished yet ?

-Star

[Mesonak]

And with that, Episode 22: The Digital Media Chefs has been released. Pretty funny episode overall, got to say.

Episode 23 is currently done being edited, but there was a problem with the uploading and as such, it can't be released aat the moment.

And for those wondering about the file name discrepancies (24, 25 instead of 22, 23), we had recorded two episodes over the downtime that we were planning to release, but due to the irrelevancy, at this point, of the topics that were discussed in those episodes, we see no purpose to release them.



-Mesonak

[Eljay: Toa of Mangosteen]

Glad we can get back to work here! Also happy to have helped out and edited one of the episodes! I hope everyone enjoys!

[Tenebrae Invictus]

Dear fans of the podcast THE THREE VIRTUES,

It has been in the best interest of the podcast members to advise you not to listen to the early episodes of the beloved podcast THE THREE VIRTUES, for the reason you will be scared away from listening to the better, newer episodes of the podcast.

Sincerely,


Tenebrae Invictus.
Editor of THE THREE VIRTUES: BIOTALK

[CrunchbiteNuva]

Great to see that you added a new episode. I shall wa- gah, I mean Listen to it now
