GN 8 and 9 arrived today.
I stick to what I said before: Sayger sucks. But Zanier is greatness impersonated - the artwork of The Exile's Tale is really epic. Here's hoping we will get so see GN10 and he'll still do it.
Well... those frequent serial updates are annoying me... I wish there was some way for Greg to find more time to write them... sad.gif
The bad part is: without new story, I feel my interest in BIONICLE fading, something (in my eyes) completely undesirable.
Okay, I contacted Papercutz, told them what I liked about GN8 (and what not) and pretended to be shocked that there was no preview of the next GN at the end of GN9, and asked them if there are any plans for a tenth book. This is their reply:
At least they are pleased so far... keep buying, folks!
As you know, BSS has asked you for your six favourite irregular elements for the new Toa team. We are still counting, but here is something I have got to say:
If we ask you to do a list in the format--
1. First Element
2. Second Element
...
6. Sixth Element
--don't write texts that come down to: "Psionics is bad, Magnetism is half bad, Plantlife is awkward, Plasma is okay, Sonics isn't half bad either..." Just give us a list of six.
And excuse us if we won't accept the element "Force"
Sometimes time zones are annoying. Bioran and I wanted to do an MSN chat to discuss some things but there are two problems:
1) When he is awake and has spare time, I am either asleep or at school.
2) And vice versa.
That can be frustrating...
I just received my Cambridge CAE marks (Certificate in Advanced English). The overall mark is A, and I got 85% correct. This is how I did in the various parts of the examination:
I was surprised about the listening part, though - I would have thought my writing was worst (not because of my style, no, but because of the contents - I almost missed the subject I was supposed to write about).

In less than 20 minutes, I am going to watch "Incursion, Part 2" - two days before it airs in the USA. Wanna know why? Because for the first time in Stargate history, a German TV channel gets to air an episode BEFORE the US. I don't like the German voice actors for SGU (or the translations, for that matter), but tonight, I simply won't care about that and enjoy the show, knowing that I am among the first to watch this.

NtM's Nerd Library is about to grow again
- Amazon.de will ship GN8 and GN9 today (can't wait! ._.)
Plus, I will buy the following books/comics this week:
- Star Wars Rebel Force 4
- Star Wars Jedi Quest Volume 3 (re-release containing books 7-9)
- Star Wars #88 (a comic magazine including Clone Wars Hero of the Confederacy 2 and Dark Times Blue Harvest 4)
And I'm looking forward to the following releases during June/July:
- SW Legacy of the Force 9 (Mid-June release,
I just rediscovered an unfinished part of what I wanted to write for the S&T Time Capsule contest. I wanted to mix quotes from all years of the saga into a comedy. Well, I never finished, but I will give you the little that I wrote for your entertainment.
Got my final exam results yesterday. We have got a 15 points system for the secondary level here in Germany, with 15 being the best and 0 the worst result. Here's what I got:
German - 10 points (apparently the correctors were very harsh in this subject... some people entered the exams with an average of 13 points and left it with a result of 6 points)
Math - 5 points (oh well, that was to be expected)
English - 15 points (was to be expected, too)
Spanish - 15 points (this really surprised
Though not entirely unexpected, I have to announce that I leave the Greg Team with immediate effect. My reasons are rather simple and come down to a short list:
- BIONICLE Story Squad (which is more important to me, as I am sure you will understand)
- The Chronicler magazine
- final exams and after that, some months of social work before I go to university
- parts of real life that demand more attention
The Greg Team sadly no longer finds a place in my schedule, which is why I just inform
Daleks are supreme! All hail the Dalek Emperor!
EDIT: The Dalek Emperor would like to know why there are only "Delete" buttons in the blogs! Cybermen are inferior! The Emperor requests "Exterminate" buttons!
I just watched the uncut version of the Mask of Light, not that 4.5 minutes shorter version that was sold here in Germany. (They actually cut the movie for being too violent!!!)
All of a sudden I like MoL... xD
... last week. Now Journey's End has been exterminated, too. But it was a nice ending extermination. BIONICLE is supreme. All hail the BIONICLE emperor... ^^ You did a great job, Greg.
April Fool's Day is over and it ended for The Chronicler with a great comic by Chosen One of Bionicle (Coob).

To help you understand: The Chronicler announced yesterday that LEGO chose to end BIONICLE because they disapproved of all the canonization that has been going on here on BZP. As a consequence, The Chronicler would be converted to the "Hero Magazine" (see the great banner by Neramo here).
To make this rather simple joke more believable, I wrote something called "BIONICLE:
I feel forced to write this...
I will do this in A&C style - popular arguments and my counter-arguments.
A) Canon contests ruin mystery.
C) You are right as long as you restrain "mystery" to "character appearance" - but there are more mysteries in BIONICLE than just the looks of some characters. And you may want to check out this BS01 page to see how many characters are still lacking an image - there is no way anyone is ever going to do a contest for all of them. Even if they were wil
