About this blog

Words we often so desperately want to say, but leave unspoken, for one reason or another, for fears rational and irrational, whether it makes sense or not.

Issues Resolved

After a week of of a fairly unstable and unreliable connection, I finally have a stable connection to the internet again. It's not taking five minutes to load one page any more!   Now. with that done, I think I might have my next name be 'Electromagnetic Pulse' next time. I think the Shadow's getting a little overdone. After all, when everyone's shadow, nobody is. I think. We need some of the other elements around, and as you may know, I have an affinity for bad puns, and how could I possibly no

Kulta, Ekimu, and Okoto's History

Kulta, the Skull Grinder, last line of defence against the awakening of Ekimu, undying skeleton, and the first ever Master of Fire.   Kulta is not cursed with undeath. It's quite the opposite. Kulta is willingly undying, because if he died, then there would be last line of defence against the awakening of Ekimu, whose tomb he guards. Should any indication of anyone seeking to awaken Ekimu come to his knowledge, he is directed to destroy the Mask of Creation, to lessen Ekimu's power if he does ge

A Mystery of the (HF) Universe

Why did the HF heroes have first names? Like 'WIlliam' and 'Preston' and 'Mark' and so on... what was the point? Other than for having Fire Lord scream 'PREEEEESTOOOONNN' a few times. It was pretty much dropped after the first half of 2011.   Could you imagine if the Toa were named stuff like 'David Pohatu', 'Johnathan Kopaka' and 'Chris Tahu'? It would be weird, and I find it weird in Hero Factory.

The Undead Bonkles

If they continue the undead enemy theme, we might end up with GHOST BONKLES.   You know what that means: Glow-in-the-dark CCBS shells.

HERO Factory

I'm surprised the HF universe didn't end up in a situation where the HF went unchecked and starting producing increasingly dangerous and insane 'Heroes' who, instead of protecting, destroyed everything out of a misguided notion of being heroic due the fact that villains exist, and with some absolutely brilliant AI logic, that means existing must mean you are a villain. Obviously doesn't apply to heroes, of course, because heroes aren't villains.   Unless... every being we saw in HF was produced

BIONICLE

Bye BIONICLE, see you whenever you (probably won't) return for G3.   Though it's not the end of the world. In the end, it's just a line of LEGO sets. Still disappointing. Didn't they say it'd last until 2017?   Who put a curse on the year of 2016?

Here is a Scenario

What would you do if the last five inanimate objects you touched suddenly came alive and decided to plot against you?

Yet Another Question

What would you do if you were trapped in a room, and on the other side of the only door there was nothing?

Boxes and Thinking

Why do people say to think outside the box?   We weren't thinking inside boxes in the first place. We could try thinking in the material that separates the inside of the box from the outside of the box, though. That's a unique alternative.   Or, as I have recently, thinking inside the Nuke, or outside the Nuke. I could also try thinking inside and outside of things... AT THE SAME TIME. Or would my head explode? You tell me, people who think things, I've never tried to think inside and outside o

Pohatu & Ketar

Acquired Pohatu + Ketar.   Let's start with Ketar.   Ketar is... Ketar. A bit awkward constructed, if anything. Especially compared to the other creatures. Its back does not look pretty, which is bad since that's what you see from the sides and from the top. I don't understand why the glatorian necks that hold the arms have the axles of the gear pieces poking out through them. Why not use one of those Ikir uses to prevent the y-joints from having the axle pieces poke through them? It's just two

Okoto thoughts

I'd like to think that some HF sets are among the wildlife of Okoto.   Thornraxx is a species of giant wasp inhabiting the jungle region. The stinger's red for a reason. It kills protectors. It is named so as it eats Thornax, which grow in the Stone and Jungle regions of Okoto.   Pyroxes (Pyroxi? Pyrox? Pyroxodes?) are a type of bovine animal that make their home in the Fire region. They are farmed for their Pyrox eggs and their Pyrox milk by the Fire region villagers. The bulls of the species a

Ninjago

Those Ninjago sets look pretty good but I know next to nothing about the plot of Ninjago.   So here's my guess as to what the plot of Ninjago is, based on nothing but the sets:   2011: Ninjas start being trained by the old beard guy to defeat the evil skeletons, who threaten to destroy the ninjas for some reason. There's also some evil dude named Marmalade or something who commands them who's pretty much the Makuta of Ninjago as I understand it. They succeed and the skeletons get punched out of

The Clown Rap

I once wrote a Clown rap in an attempt to make a rap worse than the Piraka rap.   it was about twice as nonsensical and much worse. I asked Portal.gif, and I recall he said I succeeded in making a pretty bad rap. At the time we had realised just how little sense the Piraka rap's lyrics made, and me, having recently talked about clowns, was spurred into making a clown rap to mock the Piraka rap which kind of failed as it was much worse.   If only I had save it to a file.   If only I could recreat

Apparently I can change my name now.   So tell me what to change it to, because I have no idea.

Fireworks

It's time for that day over here where we set off fireworks and start bonfires in fields, along with people claiming that Guy Fawkes was innocent. Despite the whole gunpowder plot thing.

2001/2015: A question (Or two.)

If 2015 and 2001 were swapped around in terms of story but not sets, would the people that hate 2015 still hate it?   Just an honest question.   ...and for long-time fans of BIONICLE, from 2001 or so, how similar does 2015 BIONICLE feel to 2001-2003 BIONICLE so far?   Third and final question: where do you want G2 to go from where it currently is? I am going to guess that many people do not want it moving in the same direction G1 did in its later years.

Skull Basher

Its bashing function is a bit... wonky. Not as well done as Dragon Bolt's wings, which are done in a similar manner.   Not to mention the axes often collide with either each other or Skull Basher's horns quite a bit. It's not really a bashing function. More like 'Skull Clapper', if you ask me.   Still, Skull Basher pulls off transparent purple + solid purple + transparent orange + gunmetal really well. Purple goes surprisingly well with transparent orange - way better than most other colours IM

2017 predictions

The colour 'Red' ceases to exist as it is swallowed whole by the cannibalistic colour 'Gold'.   The Toa are in immense pain from having multiple surgeries to add and remove gears into their hips and backs, and from having their oddly transparent brainstalks exposed from behind.   Something gets horribly mutated by hordika venom/pit mutagen/desire for power/uncontrollable masks/plot device.   The Toa Mahri remain irrelevant, being G1 characters and thus having nothing to do with the G2 story.
