    Hello

    Dropping in again for no reason, seeing who's about. Still a few folk I remember doing similar now and again, kind of nice. Been doing some self-reflecting recently, bit of therapy and that, you know how it is. Probably should've been doing that as a teenager but eh, better late than never. Actually brought up this place during a few sessions, was very much a place I turned to to be 'validated' when I wasn't getting that elsewhere in my life. Growing up I had nobody around who shared my interests and a lot of folk who just thought I was dumb - so BZP gave me a place to have shared interests, and be seen as 'smart' for knowing a lot of Bionicle lore. And then the 'popularity' and 'fame' I'd get leaking set pictures or kicking off for gay rights or whatever was giving me the attention I wasn't getting elsewhere. And there'd be a bit of a 'fight' mentality in all of that because of dissatisfaction elsewhere in life. A lot of the motivations and brain loops involved back then have persisted over the years - getting quieter, but when I step back and look I can still see that stuff is cycling around in my head a lot. People's opinion of me informs a lot, I do a lot to be valued by people and react badly when I even get the WHIFF that people think I might be dumb or not understand something - it's like I have to 'prove' myself in those situations. It's all able to be traced back, and seeing this stuff laid out like that and mapping it all back just makes it all a lot easier. I can see how my brain naturally functions, and why. Wiped this blog because I mentioned it to a few people IRL and they tracked it down, them seeing how I used to be was not a comfortable thing so I panic deleted as they started reading. Bad times. It's tricky with new people, you get the fresh start with them, but having a previous version of yourself 'preserved' online for them to also see is....yeah it's weird innit. Anyway, things are good overall. It's cool analyzing myself a bit more - always growth to be had, just trying to actively dig for it a little bit more at the minute. Pretty fun and cool. Also, you know what I'm desperate for? A run-down of like, what happened with every BIG NAME person from BZP back in the day. I wanna know where everyone is and when they dropped off the site and why etc. I live for the GOSSIP.

    Some news

    Lovely. Congrats!
  3. Hello, Trying my luck again with this one - does anyone know where I can find the Free the Band 'press conference' video that was released in 2006, featuring The All-American Rejects awkwardly talking about the Piraka?
  4. Fox is pretty low. That's probably my favourite from Wave 1 - great detail, and it's the first Fox figure we've had which makes it extra good.

    Workout motivation?

    The best motivation is just wanting it. Get obsessive - work out your macros so you know what to eat, record what you eat in spreadsheets, decide targets, get a killer free weights workout going (minimum of 3 times a week) and you'll be sorted. Focus on it continually in every area of your life. That way you'll HAVE to go to the gym, because you've made so much effort to eat right/track it etc.
  8. To be fair, you can't really start criticising and saying stuff doesn't make sense when you've only seen half the story so far. And the trailer was for both episodes - the finale as a whole.
  9. Them masks. They're alright, they are.
  10. I feel like the size and shape of these reflect the characters themselves pretty well. Like, I look and I know they're Tahu and Pohatu. Unlike their 2008 versions.

    Doctor Who

    Core concept of 'the moon is an egg' was ace, though. As was Clara's rant at the Doctor at the end - one of the best moments this series. Overall, I was pretty happy with the episode.
  12. In terms of awareness of social issues and the political aspects of forum management (e.g listening to members, no unjustified insta-bans, no 'SHUT UP I'M NOT LISTENING' approach to forum management), BZP is way ahead of any Lego forum out there. Which is really awkward for me to say.
  13. I got the regular version on order. I'd have quite liked Crumb, but not enough to pay so much more for him. Looking forward to it - enjoying gradually getting all the main characters in my standard scale. Thanks for the pics!
