Remember the old days when we had rules about the combined file size of avatars and sig banners? What was it, 150kb max?
Man, I miss those days.
Hey, all y'all. Bet practically nobody here even remembers or knows me at this point. But, for those of you old codgers that do and have possibly wondered what I've been up to lately, here's the sitch.
First and probably the biggest, in the time since I was last around I've moved on from having jobs to finally landing a career. No longer
People seem to be forgetting the blog rules going in both ways. Yes, politics are allowed in the blogs, but only in a very small capacity as follows: You would do well to read the entire entry from Blog HQ detailing politics and religion in the blogs. Now, everybody chill out for, like, a week at least. Yeesh. Sad that this is the only reason I'm making a blog entry in forever. TN
I can't believe I live in a world where I'm actually writing this blog entry. I'd like to preface this by expressing my deepest gratitude for the wonderful, generous people who have showered me with gifts over the past few years, especially during various holiday Steam Sales. That said, I have an important request to make: Don't do it anymore. Why would I ever turn down free stuff? Well, for a number of reasons. First of all, I still have a backlog of games I need to work through and I d
With the Bionicle RPG in working condition, I've come to a conclusion: It was good for a practice run. That's not to say it's bad or that I don't like it. Heck, I'm going to be recording an entire campaign spanning who-knows-how-many sessions that'll be going up on YouTube. But I've pretty much accomplished what I set out to do and, while I'm going to continue supporting it, my focus has moved on to the next big thing. As I've mentioned before, I'm slowly working on a series of three or four
Gonna keep this short and sweet for all our sakes. I won't be able to attend Brickfair VA this year. Simply put, I'll either have a new job and don't want to tarnish my reputation by asking for a week-long vacation right away OR I won't have a job and, ergo, won't be able to afford it/will be using the time to actively keep on the job hunt. Tangentially related, I'm expecting a phone interview either later today or sometime tomorrow. Wooteth. I'm starting to detect a pattern here... TN
So my Web Interactivity Tools course focused on the use of Adobe Edge AKA the Adobe Flash-killer. For our final project we had to develop a sort of sample website that used at least two animations that contained movement and/or interactivity of some kind. I decided to theme my project around a sort of proof-of-concept of what the current Bionicle website could be (because, let's face it, whoever came up with some of these design decisions kinda sucked). What I have is nowhere near a complete p
Anybody else play it? It's a game about space ninjas. F2P co-op third-person shooter with lots of slash-slash, bang-bang, and PARKOUR. I only recently picked it back up after not playing for about a year only to find there's now jet-packs in spaaaaace levels as well as other rad stuff. Anyway, I'm starting a clan/building a clan dojo for funsies. Let me know if you're interested in joining. Also, obligatory referral link because referrals can get me a chance for stuff and you get a guaranteed
I got sick twice over winter break and the second time around I wound up binge-watching several shows. Namely, I watched every Ninjago episode available on Netflix and finished watching the last three and a half seasons of Merlin. I have ALL the new bonkles. The Bionicle RPG is at 82 pages. With little more than power rules and some character/creature stat sheets left, it is almost ready for "beta testing". Podcasting is still fun. Got on the President's Honor Roll again last semester. T
Really though, if you need two skakdi together to make use of their elemental powers, how on earth is a Skakdi of Psionics' power supposed to manifest itself when combined with other elements? I'm so close now I can smell it TN
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting the response to be quite so . . . underwhelming. Regardless, it's the responses to this entry that really matter and that also goes for the if/who/what/which Call of Evil short story should see the light of day.[/not an effective threat] Here's Chapter One of Steel Scales. It's an ugly, slightly-proofread mess that includes such wonders as awkward noun usage, abhorrent dialogue tags, "telling instead of showing", and perhaps even some inconsistent standard
Quick and dirty, I want your opinions. How long would you say the effects of Enlarge, Shrink, Weaken, and Reconstitution Kanoka last? Nothing I've seen seems to indicate that the disc's power level affects the power duration. Likely, nobody sees these messages until after I'm dead. TN
See, Vezon, possessing an Olmak, jumps to the Star Wars universe and grabs Jar Jar Binks. Then they hop over to Star Trek and grab Wesley Crusher. Afterward, Vezon brings them all here and they gather themselves a cult. They get this grand plan to completely change the history of their respective universes to make themselves seem glorious. They have to start with small, trivial ideas though to get their foot in the door before they start pushing the big changes. Naturally, since Vezon is the one
Once upon a time, as such a time is when these things often occur, there was an art class. A bunch of students were taking the course. Some of the students prefer working in pen. Other students prefer working in pencil. Every day when the students take to their easels they find a fresh piece of paper. However, the teacher has drawn a few shapes and lines on the paper in the respective ink or graphite. The teacher tells the students they will be graded on their individuality. For quite some tim
Not sure what this is all about? Check the first entry for details. This is the last decision you make, folks. Make it a good ending! Also, this is going up late. Whoops. Bibble the Astral Soul-Thingy Bibble begins to panic as it feels a dangerous poison beginning to spread throughout the stolen leira body. With the mechanical augments now permanently destroyed by the water, Bibble struggles all the more to claw its way out of the well with only one good arm, one functioning eye, and no
Not sure what this is all about? Check the first entry for details. Bibble the Astral Soul-Thingy Bibble descends upon the planet of Nyurk'snrk and possesses the body of the first Leira it sees. After taking time to examine its newfound flesh and mechanical bits, Bibble looks up and finds itself in the middle of a Leira-Nilrem warzone. It dodges left, right, and under as bolts of magic pass by. Bringing an arm to to shield from an incoming blast, the grapple arm on the Nilrem activates and p
Not sure what this is all about? Check the first entry for details. Bibble the Astral Soul-Thingy Bibble, being a very cautious and forgetful Soul-Thingy, hesitates before jumping into the thick of the action. It contacts the advisor before moving forward and asks for reminders pertaining to the exact nature of this experiment. The returned answer from the advisor was less than amicable. The message stated in no uncertain terms that asking such unnecessary questions would quickly result in a
