Evolution of a Character - Mario (Smash Files 16)

Quite like the character profiles - just a "mini series" within the Smash Files where I'll look at how some of our veteran fighters have evolved from game to game. Despite lacking a character profile at this time, I thought I might as well start with Mario. So here goes! All of the fighters in the original game have these two image types, from what I've found - the first being a 2D drawing that was the main style used in promotional artwork for the game, and then a different picture with thei

Guess what arrived today! :D

My Bionicle 2015 sets! (And a random Lego polybag for spending over $75 in the Lego online shop)     I got all six Toa plus the Protectors of Ice and Stone; I'll be posting a review of every set over the next week or so.

2015: The Year Ahead (Film)

What are the top ten films I'm looking forward to this year? Because last year six of my most anticipated films landed on my end of year top ten, while I didn't even end up watching two of them.   MOST ANTICIPATED FILMS 2015   1. The Avengers: Age of Ultron - I don't think this one really needs explaining. The Avengers was great and I think that Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy might be my two favorite Marvel films, so they're in a good spot. Hopefully this matches the hype.   2. Spect

A little preview

Since it's been a little while..   A PREVIEW OF EXTERMINATION CHAPTER 2:   Portalfig had never forgotten the time that he went undercover to root out a terrorist organization - and for the past three months, it had been the only thing on his mind. The identity of “Tavahka” was slowly becoming synonymous with his own, and on the bad days, the Onu-Matoran was beginning to wonder just which side of this war he was really on.   “Tavahka?”   Portalfig turned to face the speaker - White Seven.

Top 10 Films of 2014

Let's go!   TOP 10 FILMS OF 2014   1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier This is, without a doubt, my new favorite superhero film. I was never interested in Captain America, believing him to be too morally righteous to really be an interesting character, but this film proved otherwise; after all, what do you do with a perfect character? You challenge their faith and their ideals. Having the hero called "Captain America" plunged into a political conspiracy was a genius move, and it was helped by

Downtime

Hopefully it'll be done by the end of next week   If it takes too long or we lose a bunch of stuff... well, it would depend on both what we lose and how much I guess we shouldn't lose anything, but   Things never go wrong on purpose   Anyway   Crossing fingers

why does this always happen (aka merry christmas)

Every single year I ask my parents for a single movie Every single year they get that movie... for my brother.   Parents, Imma kick you into next week. TBH, all of the fun presents I got this year were from my brothers and you guys (with the exception of a Tardis mug, which I'm not entirely certain what to make of)   Anyway I'll probably bump this entry later with my loot. Which this year includes a box of screwdrivers, because reasons.   2014 Loot: -Hammerwatch (PC) - bzp -The Stanley Parable

EVERYONE I NEED YOU TO HELP ME THANK JMJ (+Smash Files 67)

I thought I was receiving a GCN Controller Adapter, not that and a special NYCC limited edition transparent Tahu Mask! *shakes fist* But still!   I thank you very much. Now I can play Smash Bros. the way that it was meant to be played, and I have my first little bit of Bionicle 2015 as well! TBH I'm really excited about the mask because I didn't think I'd actually ever see one in person, let alone OWN it.   Now to fight the urge to open it until I can assemble all six 2015 Toa together.   This

6 Years

So. I have been on BZPower as a member for six years. First off, to celebrate, here is a little something for Extermination.   I thought I'd go over some of the milestones from the past six years in this entry, that way I can never do it again.   2008 -I joined the site on December 22. Obviously.   2009 -In January I released my first comedy, Vultraz's Diner. To this day, the character Vultraz is near and dear to my heart. -I entered my first contest on BZPower (a BBC contest), and obviously did

guess what arrived today :D (Smash File 66 oh god)

It is so beautiful   Even better, though, is that I still have two days to return the black controller to EB Games and get a refund from them! Everything is working out, huzzah! This is also the part of the show where I publicly thank JMJ for the GCN adapter that he's sent to me, even though it hasn't arrived yet (whenever it does there will, of course, be an entry to celebrate the momentous occasion).   Anyway, that's all for now!   The Nintendo Conspiracy is slowly being overcome!

a small preview

From Chapter 1 of EXTERMINATION:   Something was not right.   “Hey, you! What’s your name?!”   Voltex turned at the sound of the voice – a Ko-Matoran wearing a black cloak and dragging a massive scythe four times his size behind him. There was only one Matoran in Metru-Nui that would carry around a weapon that obnoxious….   “Is that you, Voxumo?” Voltex asked, coughing as he stood to his feet, leaning on the receptionist desk before him.   “It is,” the Ko-Matoran said, eyes glinting. His armor w

End of an Era

Shown above is the Games & Trivia forum, listing the topics with the highest number of posts. Since 2011, when the forums first returned under this new look, Bionifight 4 has reigned as the topic with the highest number of posts, surpassed only by Bionifight Ultimate.   As you can see above, Bionifight 4's time has come to an end; soon, the Bionicle Last Letter Game shall receive the two posts required to pass Bionifight 4.   Truly, it is the end of an era. And yes, I secretly hope that the

Release Date! (BZP Story Update) + PREVIEW

A Matoran with sleek black and silver armor sat at a wooden desk, staring at the lit computer screen. Checking behind him to make sure that the door was shut, he let out a small sigh and turned back to the screen, tapping the microphone perched beside the keyboard to make sure that it was functional. Satisfied, he opened his mouth and began to speak. “Journal entry one-zero-one,” he said. “Let’s recap.”   ---   He blinked, and then he and Blade were sitting across from each other at a desk in an

Regarding Raffles

When there's more than one prize (for simplicity, let's say there are two) in a raffle... could the same member theoretically win every prize in that raffle? That'd be some seriously miraculous number crunching

RUMOR: Amiibo Discontinued (Smash Files 65)

Not all Amiibo, mind you. But three in particular. Those three are the Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, and Marth - rumors circulate the internet hinting that these three might be gone from shelves forever once the current stock is out. Now, had I been thinking, they would have been the first three I purchased; however, I was not thinking, and so only Wii Fit Trainer was included in my first set. That said, at the first sound of shortages, I rushed online to look for both Marth and Villager.   I might

THE NINTENDO CONSPIRACY (Smash Files 62)

Allow me to direct you to the following image:     You see that thing in the back? That is the Wii U. I own this. You see that thing in the front? That is the special Smash Edition Gamecube controller, released today alongside Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. You see that thing in the middle? That is the special adapter, required for using the above Gamecube controller.   I do not have this.   I walked into EB Games today, in my little ugly stupid town where everyone hates Nintendo, and purchased

Outline Revisions! (BZP STORY UPDATE)

So I spent a lot of tonight revising the outline for Extermination, mainly with the second half of the epic, and I must say, the odds are not in anyone's favor with regards to survival.   That cast of 40+ characters?   At this point in time, a grand total of not nearly as many as you think will survive. The final battle in particular is rather... bloody, to say the least.   I do believe that this will be the final draft of the outline; as far as actually writing it goes, I'm nearly finished Chap

Go and vote!

The new youtube banner contest voting has opened, so you should all go and vote! Of course, I must advise that voting Entry 5 would be the wisest option, but really, whatever wins is going to be plastered across social media, so... select whichever entry you think represents both Bionicle and BZPower best.

HUNTED (BZP Story Preview!)

The following is an excerpt from EXTERMINATION:   He was kicked onto his back by the figure, towering above him. The Ba-Matoran raised his ruined right arm to shield himself, as a pair of glowing red eyes and the rough outline of a Kanohi Mask appeared in the shadows billowing out from the figure’s cloak.   “Who are you?” Voltex asked weakly, coughing. “Who… sent you… here?”   “I am the Shadow,” the figure said, taking aim even as Voltex desperately tried to pull his broken body out of harm’s w
