Smeag fixed the polls. Apparently, my poll got eaten by the server or something.
Anyhow, here it is: clicky to vote for the G.B.G.!
Thank you muchly in advance.
~GBG~
I still would like to know any thoughts you guys have on my current project!
@ staff: this is not a comments drive; I simply want to know what my fellow MoCists have to say on the topic.
Since I posted this last week, I have fixed the lower legs so that they integrate more technic, and I think I've got a good upper leg design.I still need to change the arm cannon and add a head. The back isn't done yet either. We're getting close!
(all of that ^^^ in response to the first comments)

Well guys, here is my BBCC #53 WIP pic:
Heh, as is evident by now, I will not be entering.
Ah well.
See the gallery for more shots of him (they are at the bottom below Certavus)
Please post any thoughts you have on him!
Also, I just need like 2 more votes in the Final Final Certavus Poll to place fourth!

Ok, so I just got reprimanded several times over in the polls for calling some of the other MoCs rip-offs. This was not the best or nicest of behavior and thus once I had this pointed out to me I apologized and edited my posts. I just wasn't thinking properly when I posted. Live and learn my friends, live and learn.
What I find ironic is the fact that in the past I have defended other MoCists for creating what appears to be a copy of some technique or MoC of another MoCist based on this pri
I completely missed the BBCC #50 voting! HOW COULD THIS BE?!?!?!

ARG. What a bummer. It just came and went, and I completely forgot about it! :annoyed2:

I have now been sent reply notifications to three topics which I have never laid eyes on, much less subscribed to. Here's the latest one: Something about sharpies
Why am I randomly being subscribed to topics?
Great sunspots! The forums have returned! I was beginning to think the beast that is the forums had died... But I guess the all powerful staffies came along and revived it! Thanks guys!
Now, in my time away I have had a birthday. My 17th in fact. As a result, I got a bunch of money, and as a result of that I placed my largest parts order (or combination of orders) yet: $50+, 400+ pieces. I've received one of them, but the other two are still in the process of shipping. I made sure to buy p
Now in case you are wondering what a WAD pic is, it stands for "Work Almost Done", as opposed to a WIP: "Work In Progress". Anyway, here it is:
This is my first 100% custom torso, and I've gotta say, I like it lots!
It still needs a few tweaks, but it's pretty much done. Oh, and I need a name too... got any suggestions?

Well, I meant to blog about this last night, but forgot (it was late anyway).
My family and I went to see Pixar's UP last evening with some friends of ours. The movie was extremely unique, creative, fun, and I really enjoyed it quite a bit! Definitely worth going to see and even owning if you enjoy good quality plots and animated comedies that are family friendly. There were very few characters, but I never found myself getting bored with them. They were all so different, but Pixar did an ama
Well, hello everyone! It's been two weeks now since I last blogged, and I can't let my blog pass into the second page of my favorites list now can I?
So anyways, my last blog post was written just before I left to go on my youth group's mission trip and I thought I would blog about how that went. If you want to skip down to the section where I talk about what's been going on since then (I talk about the Wii and Brawl there), or down to where I talk about Bionicle/BZPower, then feel free to
Ok peoples, due to the fact that our Duelists are tied for the Champion status, I have decided to do a mini tie-breaker challenge.
Duelists, your mini challenge is this:
You must build a MoC that uses no more than 20 pieces. You can build whatever you like, just don't go over that limit. Pegs/bushings/axles do not count into the number limit.
You now have until Sunday evening to send in your MoC, but the sooner the better. The actual voting shall last for one day (Monday).
So, get MoCi
Rocks!
Seriously. Don't believe me? Head over to Apple's website and check it out. The new iPhone G3 is twice as fast as its predecessor, is thinner, and on top of that, the price has been cut in half. This new edition is starting at 8 Gigabytes for $200 bucks. Wowee. Don't forget that the iPhone is a full iPod (music and movie playing gadget), a web browser (it can do e-mail too, and has full wireless technology), and (of course) it's a phone. Sweetness. I would really like to get one eventu
I'm considering either placing a parts order or buying some new sets for summer MoCing soon.
First off, I know that I'm gonna want to finish off my (un-entered) BBCC #53 entry, so I'm gonna need some good black pieces and a bit of lime too. I know that some of the Batman sets would be swell for the system side of things there. As to lime, I can just order that seperately (unless there are some good sets which contain it).
Secondly, I would like to branch out (as you guys have suggested) an
So, my dad and I went to see Star Trek today; and I've gotta say: I enjoyed it quite a bit!
I don't have alot of time here, but I will say that if you like complicated plots, futuristic spaceships and blast fights, as well as blackholes and time warps, you'll love this movie! The story was pretty neat, and the action was superb. There were quite a few intense on-the-edge-of-your-seat moments (even though I wasn't on the edge of my seat, lol)
I won't even try to explain the plot line to y
Well guys, I have been having problems with majhost.com lately. The pictures would not show up in the forums and/or blogs. The funny thing about it though, is that there were a few that would. I myself have a Mac laptop. I tried it downstairs on our family Mac, and it still didn't work there. Then I tried it on the older family PC, and for somereason, it worked perfectly fine. Thus, I can safely conclude that it has something to do with Macs, or rather Maj's incompatability with them. Just thoug
You read correctly: I'm not entering.
It was a very tough decision, but I had to make it in the end. Simply put, I just wasted an entire school day trying to finish it up (I'm homeschooling, so I'm flexible). Ok, not the whole day, but most of it. The whole time, I just felt like I was hitting my head against a brick wall. I couldn't figure anything good out for the arms with the pieces I had left. I can't tell you how aggravating that felt. Just making no progress at all really...
Consi
I don't have much time to give my thoughts, but I can summarize. The movie was EPIC and AWESOME to say the least, especially regarding the whole Pandora world. I absolutely loved all of the fictional creatures and I found myself ogling at the various glowing plants, strange lizards which fly by spinning their wings in a rapid canopy above them, awesome six legged horses, and floating mountains among other things.
The story over-all was solid, even though you knew what was going to happen pret
I've turned around and now several people have gotten promotions around here in like... the weekend! O_o Velox is an OBZPC, and Bfahome is a Blog Assistant! Heh, and they each only have 1 year spinnies... Are there any other promotions I need to be aware of?
At times I get to wishing that I had that sort of recognition (and I just might if I spent more time and energy around here), but the truth is, I have higher priorities. You know, stuff that will actually last me and make a difference in
What is this Project Fusion I speak of, you ask? Well, as a few of you know, at the end of last summer I made a large parts order and planned on using it on a humanoid robot, my inspiration being DV's Transtech Shockwave. My goal in building this MoC has been to expand my building experience into the fusion world (I think I may have overdone it on the lower legs though :/ ), and build a sweet robot fellow at the same time. Thus, the personally dubbed "Project Fusion" (for lack of a better name).
I have made an interesting observation. I was just posting in the Forums but after doing so my post count stayed right at 964, the number it was before. Why is this? Could it be because of the recent wipe of info around here? BZPower isn't picking up a surplus of new posts, so it's not raising my number? Not that I really care about post count, I am just curious.
Figured it out.
~GBG~
Ok guys, summer is now upon us, and normally, I would have thought that this would bring a whole bunch of free time. However, it is actually quite busy, and I am wanting to have a good amount of free time to do some of my other hobbies. Thus, BZPower is going to get lowered down on my totem pole of importance. Am I quitting? Leaving?
No. I am simply informing you guys that I will not be super active around here (not that I ever have been...). Sure, I shall jump in when BBC Contests are up and
I must say, GBG is pleased.
For those of you who don't know, I had a piano recital (you might if you read Sunneh's blog, and even then: thoroughly). Also, for those of you who don't know, I've been playing piano for 7-8 years now, so... yeah.
Anyways, the recital went quite well, considering the fact that in practicing right before I messed up right at the beginning majorly and in some other spots over the course of my playing it through 3 or so times. DX During the recital itself, howev
