Interest Level?

Just thought I'd try and gauge interest here before I actually post something that nobody will read; is there anyone that would be interested in reading an Epic about the lives of Bionicle & Hero Factory sets in the real world?   I plan to have them facing realistic scenarios, so that could include being lost, being left behind on a trip, losing pieces, etc. No prior reading or knowledge would be necessary, as it's designed to be standalone.

THE BZPOWER OSCARS

This is gonna be tough to pull off - attempting to decide BZPower's favorite video game character and BZPower's favorite movies on the same blog.   I'll make do.   With the announcement of the nominees for the 86th Academy Awards, I figured, why not? We'll make some of our own!   (If you'd like to help the Voltex Association with designing a trophy, please do so).   This is going to be voted on entirely by you guys (and me because I am one of you) - so here's the deal. First, we need nominations

Swag Rewards

Thank you very much to Jedi Master J for the Translucent Miru, as well as the bonus LEGO Gift Card and Robot Minifigure (which shall join Marilyn Monroe as the second in my collection). Also pictured here, since they deserve the honor, are the official soundtrack to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask that I got as a Platinum Reward for Club Nintendo, and my Darth Duck mug. Because it's Darth Duck people.

Bionifight Ultimate: FAN CREATED CONTENT

Yes, you read that correctly – fan created content. This series is all about you folks, the players; and what better way to continue that trend (along with expanding and perfecting it) than to introduce this? I had it in a very vague form during Bionifight 4, where I took suggestions for new modifiers, game types, and battle arenas. However, it was rare and never on a larger scale. I’m hoping we can change that.   This is my challenge to you – organise yourselves. Do you have some ideas you’d li

Bionifight Ultimate: Arenas!

1 - Ko-Wahi – A region of snow, where the icy surfaces make maintaining balance difficult and the area is so cold that attacks do half as much damage as usual and each player loses 1 health with each new day. 2 - Coliseum – The default arena with no major modifiers, aside from the floor that can change heights from normal to high and back down even lower.   3 - Archives – A collection of underground caverns and tunnels filled with roaming beasts and enemies, where attacks that are too powerful c

Bionifight Ultimate: Power Ups

An entirely brand new addition to the series, to help offset the removal of the Round Modifiers and the slimming of character powers are Power Ups. Here are a few just for show;   Health Kit – This power up gives the user 5 health points; useful if you’re in a bit of a snag.   Fire Bomb – This power up gives the user a chance to deal 3 points of damage to a single opponent instantly.   Rhotuka Spinner – This power up allows the user to mutate an opponent for five of the oppponent’s posts into a

Early Bird Signups (NO spots left!)

So as promised, I've decided to open up six player slots for BIONIFIGHT ULTIMATE early. All you need to do is fill out a profile and post it in the comments here; I will then either approve it (most likely) or ask you to modify something (unlikely).   You'll automatically be given a spot on the list for the first three rounds, but I will ask that you copy/paste your profile into the game topic itself when the time gomes.   There will still be 8-10 open slots available when the game releases.   E

THE BEST EVER 3

Welcome to The Best Ever 3: Good vs. Evil! Inspired by the final two rounds of the previous tournament, the sides of light and darkness will go head to head in this third competition after Samus and Luigi won the first and second tournaments respectively.   Here's how it's gonna work: 16 heroes, 16 villains. The final two will consist of the mightiest hero facing off against the strongest villain, to determine which side will achieve ultimate victory. As the winner and runner-up of the last tour

Bionifight Ultimate: Game Types

Here to introduce the new "Game Types" to you all, which combine the game types and round modifiers of old, are a couple familiars and one based on another extremely popular BZPower game series!   Free For All – Exactly what it sounds like; this game type pits every player in an enormous fight to the death with no official alliances. The player with the most health remaining at the end of the round wins; in the case of a tie, the number of players KO’d will determine the victor.   Team Battle –

Exploding Head Syndrome

Yes, this is actually a thing, and thank god.   Why? I was rather stressed and extremely tired as I headed into my second week of Christmas Vacation, and halfway through the week I suffered "exploding head syndrome", though I only just found that out today after searching "brain explodes" on Google. It's hard to describe, but basically I was sort-of awake but not really one night when I heard and felt what sounded like a cannon or a gunshot, which is pretty freaky at 3am. I don't know if I could

Active Signups

Part 1 of anything to further tease you all for Bionifight Ultimate. I've completely redesigned the signup system to deal with a massive issue, one that has plagued the previous games in the series and continues to plague every single game in the forum that asks for long-term dedication.   And, since I'm feeling generous, I've given you the profile sheet to look at here too...

2014: The Year Ahead (Film)

It's mega post time! 2014 is a new year, filled with new things to come! So! Here is the list of my top ten anticipated films; video games to follow!   Films in 2014   1. How to Train Your Dragon 2 - this one is pretty simple, really; the first one is my favorite film of all time, and the trailer has shown that the visuals have improved dramatically and the music should be just as amazing. The only question remaining for me is if I'll enjoy the plot.   2. Interstellar - Christopher Nolan's lates

Bionifight 5 Notes

BIONIFIGHT 5 NOTES Teaser 1 · The final title will not be Bionifight 5, and the number 5 will not be in it whatsoever. · It will feature at least ten different, uniquely themed arenas, as opposed to random locations each round. This will help with the structure of the rounds, and will thus enable for more preparations and changes to gameplay to be done. · The use of armies will most likely be removed. · Special weapons will be heavily re-worked into a new categor

+1 Vacation Points

I biked to my local cinema yesterday to see The Desolation of Smaug, and when I had to bike home on icy surfaces in icy rain, I successfully asserted that today would be a snow day and extend my Christmas vacation by a whole 24 hours.   Which it did. So +1 Vacation points to me. And +1 Psychic points too, because usually stuff like that jinxes it.   There is apparently a blizzard warning in effect right now, so I am 100% guaranteed to go to school tomorrow, since the transport board and school b

The Desolation of Smaug

Smaug was fantastic. Voice acting for him was far superior to what I had envisioned (which was amazing, so it's even better). Easily the highlight of the film.   Speaking of which; while the film is certainly far better than An Unexpected Journey, I don't think it has yet met the expectations of an entry in the Lord of the Rings series. Two films was stretching the story, but three is just ridiculous. It feels really stretched, and you can tell that the filmmakers were playing for time.
