And is it glorious. Also don't expect me to link to my other blog here because it is almost entirely about religion and politics. Also fanfiction, which I think we can all agree is as controversial as politics and religion (sometimes, anyway). -TNTOS-
It would be cool if Nintendo would do another Pokémon game similar to Coliseum or XD for the Wii-U. Those were fun games, despite the limited number of Pokémon you could catch. Obviously, such a game would not be exactly the same as Coliseum/XD, but it would be cool if they did that sort of thing anyway. Anyone else agree? -TNTOS-
So I just got a new laptop last night. It has, like, 400 GB of memory and all kinds of shiny new apps and features I haven't even tried out yet. But you know what the absolute best part of it is? We downloaded OpenOffice onto it. And thanks to OpenOffice, I have access to my Microsoft Word story files again, meaning I can get back to work on Dawn of the New Century, among my other projects. And I am so happy about that right now that I can barely even begin to describe it. Also, Skype work
I'm one of the 18 finalists for the BS01 Sleeping Awake contest! I am surprised at how quickly they managed to judge all of those entries, but I'm glad to see they didn't delay.
I hope I win, but good luck to the other 17 finalists anyway, I say.

Just saw the movie today. It was really awesome, probably the best X-Men movie yet. It was even better because I just watched First Class like a week ago, so I didn't have to go back and rewatch anything to understand what was going on. Really loved Young!Charles and Young!Erik the most, TBH. Their actors are just really good. Definitely looking forward to X-Men: Apocalypse, which is coming out in 2016. If it's gonna be anything like Days, it is probably going to be awesome. -TNTOS-
Yesterday we got a Wii-U -- specifically, the more expensive version -- along with New Super Mario Bros. U. I haven't really played with it or used most of it features, but I'm not particular interested in it. Maybe if we had more games for it I would be, but right now the PS3 just seems better. NSMBU is pretty much the same as the other NSMB games, except the world map takes a cue from the old Super Mario World game for the SNES, as well as a couple other minor changes. So if you liked the la
Yesteday my brothers and I went to GameStop and bought a used Wii, as well as a copy of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii so we'd have a non-Game Cube game to play on it.
Really pleased with both the Wii, which works well despite having been used already, and NSMBW, which is an awesome game, even though the Wii controls are sometimes tricky. Very much a worthwhile game IMO. It's just like the original Mario games but even better. In fact, my youngest brother is playing it as I type this.

Warning: This post is going to be extremely positive and you may disagree with me on some points. If so, please take note that this is all pretty much my personal taste and you may have different tastes, though if you have anything interesting to add you may do so in the comments .
Anyway, back to the action:
I like stories that have mysteries at the center of them or at least play a big part in the grand scheme of things. I like it when the author plants clues, hints, and red herrings, m
Recently I have discovered this delightful little website called I Write Like. You basically paste an excerpt of your writing - blog posts, journey entries, comments, chapters of novels, short stories, poems, whatever - and the website tells you which famous writer you write like. The best part about this website is that you can do it over and over again, having it analyze excerpts of your writing from different stories. This I did and got different results almost every time. Here's the full l
Back in the old days, the Short Stories forum used to be home to many songfics, which, for those who may not know, is the name for stories based on/inspired by certain songs, with the lyrics of those songs usually inserted in between the paragraphs of the story at certain points. An example would be if I wrote a story about 2006 with the lyrics from Move Along inserted between the story paragraphs (though the song doesn't actually have to be related to Bionicle to be used, obviously). Maybe my
This is mostly a list of what fanfics I will be writing and posting this year on BZP, just to give people a heads up in case anyone's interested:
-An Unlikely Alliance will likely be posted in April or May 2010, possibly sooner depending on how editing goes
-The sixth Glatorian Chronicles story, Escaping the Silent Death, will also be edited and posted on here at some point in the future, probably in March or April, though don't get too excited, since AUA is taking up most of my writing time
As the year draws to a close (and, I am sure, is already over in some parts of the world), I am going to post some things to expect from me next year in the fanfics department: -BIONICLE: The Legend Exploded, the sequel to my TLR parody, will probably be posted sometime in January or February, probably the first new story I post next year -Both DiH and TOT will wrap up in January, thanks to my one chapter a week schedule. I would have liked to conclude them this year, since I see DiH as a pr
On the 15th of this month, when The Legend Reborn is coming out in the USA, I will be ordering TLR, Ackar, and the sixth BIONICLE Graphic Novel (mostly for the Hydraxon story) off of Amazon.com. I have some money leftover from my birthday and those three things are what I want the most right now.
And I will be avoiding any topic, post, blog entry, blog comment, or anything of that sort that has anything to do with TLR spoilers. This is the first BIONICLE movie in four years and it looks reall
Yesterday was great. Had some great food, the weather was actually pretty nice, and the presents were good. Overall I'd say I liked this Christmas better than last year's, though I did get the first two Harry Potter books that Christmas, so whatever.
Anyway, I got:
-Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Warriors' Strike Structure Deck (Dark Valkyria, Marauding Captain, and Freed the Matchless General, anyone?)
-Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Spellcaster's Command Structure Deck (Breaker the Magical Warrior and Enemy Controller
Hey, everyone! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas yesterday (including those who don't celebrate it; after all, would you rather I wish you a bad Christmas?). I thought I'd share my loot with y'all because that's what all the cool kids do. Without further ado, I got: -A brand new Acer E 15 laptop. It's not the fanciest laptop around, but it has amazing battery life (almost 8 hours when fully charged) and can do everything I need it to do, so I'm happy with it -A Logitech mouse to go along
Yesterday I was off the computer all day. I didn't even do any writing, which isn't a bad thing. Taking a day off from writing can be really helpful if done occasionally. The only thing I did was briefly look up some rulings for a YGO card, but that's it. That's not the point of this entry, however. The point is to post what I got for Christmas, so here's the list (in no particular order): -Raw-Jaw. An excellent set and my only HF set from the Savage Planet line (so far, at least). My favori
I just love it when, browsing the OGD, I see people with what could be called small essays, detailing their questions or requests to Greg, and Greg merely replies with a short paragraph, or even smaller than that. I find it funny, personally.

To most people, the name "Sony" brings to mind an electronics company that develops video game systems, televisions, cameras, etc. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a simple electronics company that wants to make a (mostly) honest profit to pay their workers and employees.
HOWEVER, to the well-informed mind, the name "Sony" is also an anagram for Super Octopuses of New York.
What does this startling revelation mean? No idea. But it obviously means something suspicious and dangerous and I ur
Yesterday a package for me from Amazon came in the mail, so here's a quick look at what I got (in no particular order): -Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. I haven't actually played it yet, but I will as soon as I unlock the secret ending in Kingdom Hearts Birthy By Sleep. One video game at a time, I always say -Life in Year One, by Scott Korb. First century Palestine has been a big interest of mine for several years now and so far this book has been very interesting and informative, especially in com
Hi, guys. I'm here with an entry about the differences between the first ideas of the Shika Trilogy (my fanfic series) and the ideas that I ended up using, which are vastly different from the originals. I've always wanted to do a blog entry like this for a while.
Now onto the first epic: "The Tales of Shika Nui":
The concept was, in some ways, still the same before I actually begun writing it. It was still about Matoran theives unwillingly becoming Toa and fighting the Dark Hunters, but so
Hey, everybody. Today I am posting the What Could Have Been of my most recent epic, The Ghost King's Tragedy. Here I will discuss old or rejected ideas that didn't make it into the final draft of TGKT. I will also discuss trivia and clear up a few things that weren't clear in the story itself. With that out of the way, onto the WCHB: (WARNING: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR TGKT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU FIRST READ THE EPIC ITSELF BEFORE READING THIS, UNLESS YOU REALLY DON'T MIND
This blong entry will contain old ideas about my most recent epic, Tapestry of Evil, which has just had the epilogue posted recently. Here I will detail as many abandoned ideas, concepts, and plot ideas that I had for ToE but were ultimately scrapped in the final draft.
If you want to read the one I did for my first epic, The Tales of Shika Nui, please click here: Link.
Also, please note that this will contain major spoilers for ToE and if you haven't read it yet I suggest not to read this
Hey, everybody. last week I posted the final chapters of my epic, Dimension Hoppers, and its supplemental story, The Other Tale. Not too many people have commented on them so far, but today I am posting a "What Could Have Been" blog entry, detailing old ideas that I was originally going to use in DiH or TOT but for various reasons that will be stated below did not. WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS for Dimension Hoppers and The Other Tale. I recommend you first read those epics BEFORE you read this, unl
As I said a couple of entries earlier, here is a list of old ideas that were present in previous drafts of AUA but never made it into the final story. There is also some information here that is technically canon but never made it into the story due to my own forgetfulness .
WARNING: There are MAJOR spoilers for An Unlikely Alliance here. If you have not read that epic yet, then I suggest that you do not read this. Or, first read AUA and then read this. Whatever you do, DON'T read this blog
