NID WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?!?

You have no idea how happy I am that these continue in my absence.

Gosh darn it, at what location are our devices that transport us across space and distance instantly?

I found BOGA via BS01 - I did wonder whether it was an old page. I figured the problem would be something like that, but I can't figure out how to bypass it. It appears to be Firefox blocking the download rather than my antivirus software, and I can't see an option in Security to make an exception for downloads. E: Never mind, got it. Managed to unblock the download and the game appears to be working. Victory!

The original is definitely far superior, which is a real shame, because the second could really have been just as good. I've always felt that the fatal flaw was changing the gameplay style from the first-person to third-person view. The original was so immersive and beautiful, and playing it really made you feel like you were in Mata Nui, whereas in the MNOG II you just feel like you're looking at Mata Nui, rather than being a part of it. Not to mention that the way they implemented the new perspective, you have to wait for your character to travel across the screen, making it so much slower and very mind-numbing, only made worse by the game involving loads and loads of travelling for little errands. It really is sad, because the second game looked like a higher-budget production yet they missed the key elements that made the original so powerful. (Okay that's it I'm done crying about how much I love the MNOG)

It heartens me that I'm not the only one who has yet to complete a 12-year old game. I actually tried the Biomedia site first, but I had issues there as well. When I tried to register I never got the validation email, and when I tried the download versions, Firefox blocked them because it seemed to think the files contained a virus or spyware. I sent an email to the site about it, so maybe I can get the account issue fixed.

I've been feeling a bit nostalgic recently, and I now have a strong desire to play the MNOG II. I've never actually completed the game ever - I remember playing it when it was on the BIONICLE website in 2003 and getting virtually nowhere, then the game eventually getting broken, and then around 2011 I downloaded a fixed version of it from BZP and got quite far, except I wound up making some horrible mistake and getting trapped in Ta-Koro without some items necessary to finish the game, and I didn't have the heart to start over. tl;dr It may be 12 years overdue, but I will BEAT THIS THING. My only problem is that I'm unable to find a working download. I went to the BIONICLE Online Games Archive, but the two download links don't seem to work for me. Anyone have a working download handy?

Some great entries, was really hard to choose between Agnes Hexflinger and The Groundskeeper. Went with The Groundskeeper in the end, but it was a total toss-up because both are so well built and are the embodiment of what a Halloween MOC should be.

I was totally joking, but oh my goodness I forgot you actually had to get your ribs broken because of your heart thing.

Having read the above, I would just like to say for the record that if I ever need CPR, just me me die instead.

So we've been planning this for a while, but next week, Zatth will be flying over here to stay for a few days. I can't believe this is actually happening?!? I haven't met any BZP buddies since Brickfair 2012, and this will also be the first time I've had a BZP friend over to stay in this little pocket of Ireland. Long story short I am super pumped, and am trying to figure out what the best way to spend the three days is. I think there are some pretty cool sheep near here?

Okay but is that the EXO-FORCE SENTAI HEADQUARTERS IN THE BACKGROUND?

Thanks you two. <3

I thought I'd make something for Sumiki's 20-pieces contest, so I threw this together a couple of days ago. It would probably be a lot better with arms and a torso that isn't a stick, but I got so carried away when I was making the legs that by the time I got to the torso I only had six pieces left. ANYWAY gasp shock horror, I made something! I'm not totally dead.

Alien Golem | 20 pieces

Excellent idea for a contest. I might have to push myself to make something!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUBNUKI <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY <3

CLOVER CONGRATS <3

It's a big day over here, Ireland has legalised marriage equality by popular vote. There's still plenty to be done for LGBT equality here (particularly for transgender people) but it's a huge step in the right direction and I'm really happy. Here's to many more steps forward.

Just make sure you leave a copy of Jurassic Park on the back seat.
