Clearly, I am excited. BZP was out for nearly SIX FREAKIN' MONTHS and now it's back. Rejoice. Over the summer, I got back into Transformers again. When I become interested in something, it becomes the only thing that I am interested in. So Transformers has dominated my life since June. I really love Transformers, and I can't imagine actually NOT liking the brand. (Except Powerglide. I HATE Powerglide.) I guess, since BZP went down, my interest in Bionicle waned a little. But never fear, for
When one has no social life, such as myself, thinking is a common pastime. A few days ago I was doing just that when i realized that Teridax's plan had a few gaping holes in it that ultimately led to his destruction. Exhibit A: When Teridax banished Mata Nui, what do you suppose was going through his mind when he decided to trap him inside the most powerful kanohi in the universe, one that controls the power of life itself? Exhibit B: When Teridax banished Mata Nui, why would he shoot his b
Does anyone here play it? It looks interesting, and all my friends tell me, "Oh, it's the greatest thing ever, you should totally play," but I've been dragged into these kind of things before (i.e. Dofus) and I did not enjoy that at all. I just want to know what the point of the game is. When I ask my friends, they say little more than "You dig n' stuff." Can anyone here be more serious than them?

So, I took the advice given to me by Daiker and Wolven from my last blog post, and I made a self MOC. It's still a work in progress, but I think it's coming along rather nicely.WIP Toa of Fire
Yeah, I know my hair's in the pic.
Anyway, That torso is 100% custom. No recycled parts.
I think I might use this for a self-moc, but I'm not sure.

I'm gonna give it a try. I used to MOC, way back when the Inika torso was cool, and I have a team of about 10 Toa built all from the Inika/Piraka torso. Honestly, they've become a little boring to look at, so I decided to give 'em all custom torsos. I tried, but I couldn't get one that worked. Does anyone have any tips for custom torso building? (I didn't want to post this in the forums 'cause I felt like it would be a 'post it here' topic.)

My brother has a dog. A basset Hound, of all things. She's still a puppy, so she's the cutest thing on Earth, but she loves to chew things. My brother went to a music festival (Coachella) in California. The poor dog just sits at the window, waiting for him to come home. Every time I come up behind her, she turns around with a sort of expression saying, "Oh Hai! Do you know where daddy is?" When she's not at the window, she's flopped on a chair all depressed. Poor puppy.

I've made an epic. You can find it here. Readin' and reviewin' appreciated.
So, my Mom told me that I could have a set from Hero Recon Team. She bought all my brothers their sets. Today, we found out that her credit card decided it didn't want to work for a few days. She can't use it 'till Tuesday. Oh, Jake Braker, you proceed to elude me. (Jake Braker is the Hero I made for the Mission: Von Nebula game, and I just made him on HRT.)

Frankly, I think the hate over Hero Factory is really silly. (I could use much harsher words, but the word filter prevents me from doing so.)
Most of the arguments against Hero Factory are ridiculous. There are basically two that Hero Factory haters fall back on (Three, if you're one of those 'Bring Bionicle Back' people). 1) Bad set design and 2) Bad story.
Okay, now that we're all familiar with these arguments, let's dig a little deeper.
1) Bad set design. Honestly, could someone fil
So, I think we can all agree that 2010 was a royal failure by the Lego Group. Is that the general consensus? Yes? Good.
Frankly, I think that 2008 was part of what killed Bionicle. I have been known, in the past, to defend the Mistika and the Phantoka with BURNING JUSTICE, but I agree with most people on the idea that the Toa Newva were bad ideas. I would enjoy their existance much more if they weren't supposed to be the Toa Nuva. And, before BFAHome comes in telling my my arguement is invali
I get to back to school tomorrow. Whoopee.
I suppose I should let it out that my Social teacher is a redneck. Like, a SERIOUS redneck.
So, uh, yay.

I had an epiphany. Does anyone recall when Takua and Jala (I'm so old school I spell it Jala) were riding Puku (OLD SCHOOL) through Le-Koro, and Takua said he hated Le-Koro, and Jala asked him if there was anywhere he DID feel at home, and he said, "I don't mind Ta-Koro." We later discovered that Takua was actualy an Av-Matoran, and thus does NOT have the natural Ta-Koronan resistance to heat. Takua has also been seen lava surfing at least twice. How can he do this without discomfort if he's not
1.Mantax can kill two stones with one Gukko.
2.A Muaka tiger once bit Mantax- after five days of terrible pain, the Muaka died.
3.When Mantax got a face full of Nui-jaga poison, he blinked.
4.Mantax beat Pohatu and Photok in a 200-metre dash.
5.When Mantax was submerged in energized protodermis, IT was destroyed.
6.When Mantax wore a krana, he controlled IT'S mind.
7.When Vahki see Mantax, THEY surrender or run.
8.Mantax played Hewkki in Kollhi-and beat him 100,000,000,000,000 to 0.

Is anyone as fascinated by words as I am? It's just so amazing how we have entire languages through which to communicate. What do you suppose they did before then?

Finally. I got my premier membership again. At last.
It's been spring break all week, but it's been a rather uneventful spring break. We haven't gone any place, we haven't done anything, but I did get a chance to start writing my epic again. I've completely reworked everything in it, so I need to get a proper outline before I can actually begin writing and posting. But the story's fleshing out real well.
Do you guys suppose that I should delete my old blog entries, and start anew? I kind o
