[I ain't dead yet]

So I've suddenly been getting email notifications from all sorts of BZP blogs that I once followed years ago.  I read through your full Tumblr post; I'm sorry things have been so bad!  It looks like quite a few users have been posting "I'm alive" entries, perhaps I should do one of my own?  I'm doubtful there's any who would still remember me here.

Ah, that thing was so awesome to see in person!

[Xbox Suggestions?]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll definitely be considering most of them.

 

Nothing.

Get a PS3, or even better, a Wii instead.

-Z-

I already have a Wii, actually, it's certainly a great system, but it's unfortunate that Halo isn't released for it. Hence my desire to get an Xbox.

I'm glad you had a good time! It sounds like it was great fun.

[9, Retreat]

Sounds like great fun. You'll have to let me know how it goes!

Someone should bring in a TV and X-Box, assuming they aren't already in there.

 

-CF

XD

 

The TV is already there, but the X-Box is something that we may actually have to try to get in there. I'll keep you updated if we actually try that.

I can't see them either. It is possible that Macs don't support those PNGs?

 

Because I'd love to see those images.

 

(And that word is actually a lung disease caused by breathing in small silica particles, which are in volcanic ash.)

I'm able to see them on my dad's Mac. When I get the chance, I'll try changing them to jpegs.

Tyson Mall anyone? BrickFair FTW!

[Black Six Vs U S P S - Round 2]

As far as the Blog Contest prizes go, I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be doing with that whole thing. I haven't been contacted at all with information on the prizes, and no one has asked me for my mailing address, etc. I suppose it'll all be taken care of in due time though, which is fine by me.

'Grats.

Enjoy that prototype piece!

Thanks!

You know what, I think I may have an idea as to why they're not working. I'm not sure WHY this would be a problem, but is it possible these particular PNGs are "interlaced"?

 

Takuma Nuva

You know, that may be a possibility. I'll have to check it out, but that certainly sounds like it may be causing the problem.

[Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis]

Waitaminute, y'all didn't know what that word meant already? Y'all must have gone to public school.

 

Seriously though, I love that word. I can spell it from memory and give you the definition.[/brag]

 

For some reason though, none of your images in your content blocks are showing up for me. Too bad since I wish I knew just what it was that caught the judges eyes to put this one ahead of mine. d= Either way, congrats on second place! Don't leave me with the worst piece when you choose yours.

 

Takuma Nuva

Hmmm, I've gotten comments from a few others that can't see the images either. I'm not sure what the problem is, but they're PNG images hosted on majhost (if that helps).

 

Argetlam

[Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis]

I didn't look it up. I just guessed from the parts of the word.

Way to go. You are commended.

[Silly Phauxx]

Wow, what view. It's different, but I suppose the member base could get used to it.

[And... After 3 Months...]

Congrats on the win!

Thank you!

 

Argetlam

[Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis]

Sounds like some disease you'd get by breathing in volcanic ash. =/

Lawl, Google FTW.

 

Well, that is, if you looked it up.

The "pneumo" prefix means it pertains to lungs.

 

|-|\/|

I believe you are correct in that.

 

Argetlam

[Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis]

Fine, fine, make us look up what it means...

Not like it's anything too extraordinary.

 

Argetlam

[And... After 3 Months...]

Awesome! Good job!

 

And you get another prototype!

[And... After 3 Months...]

I still haven't gotten over the fact that I won. I don't win contests.

 

Takuma Nuva

XD I feel the same way.

[Pimp My Blog]

Congrats to the other two winners!

 

What a great and enjoyable contest!

[Bzp, Minneapolis, And Brickfair!]

You went to the MOA, eh? Too bad you couldn't see it a few years ago in it's good days (unless you have?). I miss those good ol' days when there were actually a lot of stores worth visiting besides the LEGO Imagination Center. =/

 

Takuma Nuva

This was actually my fourth time being at the MoA, my first time being about nine years ago.

Why do I look so evil in the picture? That was our "crazy" photo, wasn't it?

[Tourist Bot Took My Photo!]

The one with you, me, and Emzee is hilarious. Look at Emzee's eyes. XD

[My Prototype! My...my...my /precious/]

I got that same Green/Silver prototype piece, and I've already used it on a MOC.

 

What a great piece!
