Electric Light Gunhaver Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I found a very interesting form of topic on a foreign forum and I was inspired to make a topic in the same spirit as that one. In this topic, you can just speak your mind, as long as what you say is appropriate and follows BZPower's rules. Topics will jump and casual conversation will arise. I don't know if this kind of thing is allowed here anyway, but we'll see how long it lasts until it gets shutdown or is forgotten. So I ask you now: What are you thinking about? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takama Metru Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Well currently, I'm thinkng about what Bionicles and Gundams I'll be keeping or giving away. I'm also thinking about what my toa dream team is going to be (I mentioned the existance of a dream team in my sig), out of the sets I have and a couple I'll have to get on Ebay. Finally, I'm thinking about how well school is workng out, in terms of grades. Quote BEHOLD.....THE DREAM TEAM!

Electric Light Gunhaver Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 School grades have been very stressful to me as of the past few years. I put on a face of apathy, though, and it always hurts when I get a high B+ on my report card, when I was so close to getting an A-. It's usually math that gets me, as I had an A (and a four A+s) in every class the past three semesters. You see, if I get three semester of all As, I get a special jacket to flaunt my academic prowess. I only get angry because I'm going to see the kids who brag about their "smarts" getting these Letterman Jackets, while I'm here not getting one. It's a psychological thing that I wish I would relax about, but I just can't help it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Light Gunhaver Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 I remember reading the first bits of the webcomic, but that's all of my knowledge of the series. However, I can say that the ridiculous nature of the ability to defeat someone in one punch is a refreshing satire and take on the Shonen genre.

Tarn Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Right? And the idea of a superhero who's actually DEPRESSED because he's so strong and good is such an original idea. Like, he's peaked. No one can really beat him. What's he gonna do?(oh wait I could just watch the next episode to find out) Quote [BZPRPG] (shout out to max) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Some person on a youtube video of mine (song host, no original content) described the Teutonic Order as an epic faction to play as in Medieval II: Total War. While true, they are also bad people. Not to say the people they were fighting were good guys initially. Give 'em a couple of centuries from when they first entered Old Prussia and you can give 'good' and 'bad' titles and sides. Now I am thinking how different history would be if the Teutonic Order won the First Battle of Tannenberg. It would lead to a corrupt crusader conquest of Poland, Lithuania and the early Russian prinicipalities, and said regions being under the heel of a tyrannical, economically superior, and technologically superior foreign theocracy made up of over-zealous soldiers. No German Prussia, no Russian Empire, no German Empire, completely different World War, no Soviet Union. Much of Eastern Europe, save powerful Hungary, could potentially been conquered under the Teutonic flag. Lord knows the blood shed to be spilled between the Mongloian khanates and the Teutonic State. Maybe in the far future hteir could be popular nationalist revolutions, lest all those cultures eventually vanish under German assimilation. As the Papacy excommunicated the Teutonic Order prior to the First Battle of Tannenberg, I wonder if their guardian the (not-so) Holy Roman Empire would turn on it's crusader child and fight them. I doubt it, the two countries were close (both German) and the HRE itself had problems with the Pope. Holy crud, kind of scary to think about. ...And now I am thinking about the realization over why I don't talk about my thoughts that much.

Electric Light Gunhaver Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Throat singing kind of sounds weird to me, but not in a bad way. I think you should try it out sometime.

Takama Metru Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Chickens come from dinosaurs and the Bahrag are like dinosaurs. That's a connection. Who is in this "Dream Team"?The dream team basically consists of a custom team of 6 toa, representing one element, in the form of sets. I've decided my 6, but I would need to buy 2 sets off Ebay to complete the team. If anyone on here is interested in who is actually in the team (doubt it) then let me know.

But it also sounds weird and is difficult to do.As far as i know, there are three versions of throat singing. There is Tibetan, Inuit (which i haven't heard yet), and Tuvan (which is what I accidentally called Altaic. Used by Altai so I hope you understand the confusion). I am sure the Tuvan variant came first. Here is what someone describe it as, "Imagine a human bagpipe--a person who could sing a sustained low note while humming an eerie, whistle-like melody.". Imrukii on here describes it as musical burping, which it isn't. Of course, that doesn't capture throat singing. Better if you hear it yourself. Trying to hear if the guy says the word 'tengri', which is their sky god. If you like that, I have a few more examples.

All of the charm of the Toa Nuva were kind of stripped to give way to silver bits and boring set design. I can see the potential nostalgic value of the Phantoka, as they were some of my earlier sets before I really got involved with Bionicle. My first set was Hewkii Inika.
