Just testing the water before I go for a swim...
And that's 920 posts. B)
Great, now I have to start planning a 1000-post special. And I have no ideas, and now no left hand!
I bought him today. And I'm reasonably impressed. Here's why. Obviously.
His shield is good. It's a pretty neat design, making good use of the old Hordika arm. Though it's not the nicest-looking of parts, it can be easily hidden behind the shield.
His legs are of a great design. I never thought the Visorak-foot thing would work, but it did. And of course, the joints are ingenious, fulfilling what was attempted on Ultimate Dume in 2004. (Now, I am the master.... ) The claws work we
When I started reading stuff about Brawl, I got mildly excited by one thing. Lyndis, the first main character of the first Fire Emblem game I played (and potentially Roy's mother, I might add), was going to appear as an Assist Trophy. Because of this, I was slightly more inclined to buy the game. Then, I actually played.
Sure, Lyndis is okay by Assist Trophy standards (she's better than the Nintendog), but she's still pretty bad. Just one relatively weak attack? I'd certainly prefer gett
I would've given regular updates about these past few days, but that downtime got in the way...
Anyway, as to the past few days with my grandparents...
Tuesday: Went to a cinema, but missed out on Get Smart. Lai and I bought Brawl instead.
Wednesday: Went to a different cinema, and actually saw Get Smart. It was pretty good.
Thursday: Took a train to Sydney. There's not much as amazing as the New South Wales countryside; I loved the scenery of those tree-filled mountains and val
And that's the term over.
Just for a change, I might as well explain what happened today.
First was English. We didn't really do anything in the class, other than watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which, coincidentally, I had done an assignment on last year). It was good, but it just doesn't compare to the books.
Next came Japanese. We still didn't do anything (not that it mattered; there were only three of us). We were taught some Japanese card game, using a deck of playing
News? Lai got a Mew.
No, seriously. He got it from *clears throat* a friend of the sister of a friend, who happened to be at the home of one of Lai's friends at the same time as Lai. He sent a Bulbasaur and a Squirtle in exchange for a Mew and a Phione.
Turns out, upon a cursory examination of the two Pokémon, both are hacks. The Mew was apparently caught at Level 29 on Route 209 or something, while the Phione was caught at Level 2 on Route 201. For each to be legitimate, the Mew w
...For now.
And yes, that means bye-bye to the Mudkip signoff.
Anyway, for my next blog theme (I'm not going to re-do "Dlakii Industries HQ" for a while), I was thinking something to do with Ike and the Greil Mercenaries. Any other suggestions?
Remember what I was saying about Lai hijacking one of my latest MOCs? Well, that's been resolved very fairly, I think. B)
You see, before I left for school today, I decided to get my work back. So, when he was in the kitchen, I snuck into his room and took it; he left it in a very obvious spot, a mistake I didn't repeat myself.
Then, after school, I got to work reclaiming my work. To divert Lai's suspicion, I had to change the red-and-black colour scheme to red-and-silver silver and
The following entry contains much anger. You have been warned.
So, yesterday I was working on this absolutely winful MOC. It was absolutely brilliant; I made a set of custom upper arms which actually looked streamlined and heroic in my view. It was one of my better works.
Then today, I came home from school, worked on it a bit more, then did some work on Chapter 4 of LIGHT for about an hour. (:wakeup2:) Then I headed back to continue work on the MOC. Guess what I found?
Lai had
It's time that I finally got the wheels of The Unknown Turaga: The Movie grinding!
Anyway, I've pretty much got the script for the beginning sorted, and I'll now begin the long and arduous process of casting.
If you wish to express interest in voicing a character in the film, post it here. I'll consider all candidates, but you're more likely to get the part if:
1) You've posted at least twice in any of my comic topics (not counting those which I've co-authored on)
2) You happen to be
Yeah. Blame this guy for this. We were discussing Mudkip in my profile, and he directed me to his Maj, where I found this...
I actually find this funny, probably because it makes Ash and Pikachu look better than they really are.
(Yes, I liek mudkipz. Get over it. )
To begin, I've finally finished some sprites for SPIRIT's next PSA, which SPIRIT requested from me. And no, I didn't mention this earlier; I thought that it might be a secret project, only to be widely acknowledged after its release had been sprung upon an unsuspecting BZPower. But SPIRIT himself did, so for the day-old details, read here.
Funnily enough, it was somewhat easy, which made me wonder (given that I'd put it off for a week or two), "Why didn't I do this earlier?"
In other spr
Ooh, ooh, I love these games! Now, I'm looking for krana, right? Hey, there's one! A Pahrak Ca, eh? Come here, little krana. I won't hurt you- - -
GAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! ZOMG IT'S GOT ME GAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Cleanitallitmustblecleanedcleanitallitmustbecleaned...
(Yup, 754 posts does this to people. )
Holy Gadunka... look at those krana. There's SO MANY OF THEM!
(Before you asked, I just reached 750 posts. Sure, to most that's nothing, but given that I didn't use this account for about two years... To this day, I will never understand how DudeNuva has over double my posts in under half the time. )
I said I was going to refurbish this blog entirely, right? True, I'm about six months overdue with said refurbishment, but better late than never!
And now, I give you... my refreshed and Mudkippified blog!
Having said that, today (at least, in MY timezone) happens to be my 15th birthday. Even better, tomorrow I will be receiving Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the ONE game that I've been happily anticipating for the past two years! Fire Emblem for the Wii... it can't get better than that!
As some of you may remember, last year I tried converting The Unknown Turaga into an epic. I think it went okay, but I simply lost interest in it. Now I plan to try it again, but this time, I'll start the story further back... about 1,300 years, to be exact.
I plan to release it when I release LIGHT, at the start of 2008. By some amazing coincidence, the epic will start with LIGHT. I've already finished the first chapter, and I'm working on the second at the moment. Here's a preview of
Yeah, so I recently bought Hydraxon. He was very reasonably priced, too, at about AU $30. The only cheaper big sets I've seen were the Nui-Rama, back in 2001. Ah yes, good times...
Anyway, I'd like to do a proper review, but I can't since Hydraxon's been here for days now, and the review just wouldn't work with an already-opened set. Ah well, there's always Maxilos and Spinax...
I'll say this though: Hydraxon's one innovative set, using several pieces in ways I certainly didn't th
Ladies, gentlemen, small blue furry things...
What? That's the way to start an entry.
Anyway, I place this blog entry in commemoration of a milestone, one long in production. After one year and eleven months of comic making (possibly more or less), I have finally made exactly one hundred and fifty (150) comics!
Don't believe me? Look at this tally.
As at Thursday November 1 2007, 4:50 PM
+76 comics in The Newsroom
+25 comics in The Unknown Turaga
+15 comics in Land of Drag
Well, the supposedly eventful week passed. Nothing exciting really happened, not even on my 14th birthday. Ah well. For the record, I didn't get anything, nor did I ask for anything. I bought all the Barraki beforehand. But the day wasn't so bad. I finally finished building my old AT-AT (from Christmas 2003), so I'm happy for a while, except when it falls apart, which is often. My advice: LEGO AT-ATs and acting out the Battle of Hoth don't mix. Do you know how awkward they are to rebuild
About a few weeks ago, we got a new computer, loaded with Microsoft's Windows Vista Home Edition. Over last year, there seemed to be plenty of hype surrounding Windows Vista. Microsoft simply wouldn't keep quiet about it, even offering a downloadable demo of the operating system. So, now that Vista has been made widely available, the big question is: Is Windows Vista all it's cracked up to be?
Short answer: No.
Of course, I've had a fair amount of experience with Windows, dating back to
Once again comes that really long time of year. The time when BZP traffic slows down something scary. The time when the influx of reviews for us comic-makers drops drastically, especially for those of us who barely get posts anyway. The time when the admins don't have to kick the server or anything they say in those "Server Busy" messages (not that I know).
Needless to say, there's a very good reason for me to be blabbing as above, which is because I don't have a very good reason to update
