...cuz it was updated on the TAFE's website at long last. As mentioned earlier, I'm doing a Game Development course. The description recently added to the site mentions the three roles of game development: Games Designer - comes up with the game play ideas, perhaps story line Games Programmer - the programmer actually constructs the game code Games Artist - creates all the art assets for the game While they all look fun, I believe Game Design would suit me best, as that's where the most cr
Last year, one of my assignments for TAFE was to hand-code a website for a real company. I submitted the website for my selected company, and passed that assignment. It was then left to them to sort out uploading it to the Internet. I just got an e-mail from them last night, saying they've still yet to upload it. I'll be seeing them this afternoon to try and answer questions they have for me. Wish me luck!
By comparison to the stories told in the past, my friend has had a rather eventless past few months. At one point he went to the beach and was caught in a rip. Luckily he was found and saved from the brink by a lifeguard. At the beaches in Queensland, they have flags along the coastline. These flags indicate safe areas to swim, and you have to swim between them to avoid being caught in rips. However, he says he WAS swimming between the flags! I imagine the flags were moved after this incident.
If Greg uses the [Removed. Please do not reference words that are filtered.-Nukaya] in his Bionicle stories, such as Federation of Fear and Swamp of Secrets, then why can't we use it here?
On Wednesday, I took a monorail for the first time! We went to Darling harbour and went on a sea cruise on a catamaran. My dad exhausted his phone's entire memory taking photos of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House! Next, we went to the aquarium. I noticed there was a LEGO Store next door, so naturally I went to have a look... and naturally I walked out broken-hearted. There was NOTHING Bionicle-related in the store AT ALL!!!!! It was like Bionicle never existed, because ev
I always speak to others the way they speak to me. Therefore, when dealing with me, you have to be gentle and respectful, so I will be gentle and respectful right back. If you get hostile, I can't help but get hostile right back. It's just who I am. If you don't realise that this is how I usually react, then that is your problem more than it is mine. It is a normal part of my personality, always has been, always will be, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. So please remember to be c
Looking for untouched Brave Hitmontop with Mach Punch and Intimidate, untouched Adamant/Brave Dream World Murkrow (with Prankster), untouched Quiet Heatran with Eruption, and White Herb. MUST BE LEGIT, as these are for this Sunday's tournament!
I'm a little hesitant to post this because it's as hard to believe as what I retell in my Taming A Street Teenager entries, even for me! I'm a member of a Pokemon-related social media group, and we're the tightest-knit online community there is! I'm not saying BZPower is bad, but the Pokemon group is so close that we're pretty much family! One friend on there apparently has a talent with textiles, including making soft toys. He agreed to make me a large army of plush night elves and ancients
I think we're all lucky I didn't see this thread until too late, because if I was able to post there, trust me, it would NOT have been pretty! I, too, would rather see Greg's planned loose ends tied up before they give Bionicle a rest. The GB... the murderer... the Red Star... the Shadowed One... there's still way too much going on to just ubruptly stop just because of some deadline.
I remember when the Announcement was first made, I vowed to fight to bring it back until the end of 2011, and if it wasn't back by then, I'd fly to Lego's HQ in Denmark and kill myself. No joke. I've since mellowed, as if I've actually gotten over it (which I haven't).Now I'm just fighting until it comes back, even if I die first anyway. Otherwise I'd just be seen as just another madman, like that guy who did that terrorist attack in Norway "as a warning".
Okay, so I was wrong. Turns out my dad brought his laptop and wireless Internet on holidays with us! Okay, so yesterday dad and I walked to the nearby station and took it to Southern Cross station, which took about an hour. The train trip was quick because it was the biggest express on the line, bypassing 10 stations, and not taking the City Loop! When we arrived at Southern Cross, the diesel train that would take us to Sydney was already there, on the platform on the other side of the stat
Wel, I was happily playing Warcraft 3, and I had just reached the end cinematic when there was a knock on the door. Some girls playing next door had accidentally thrown their ball onto the roof of our car port, and the ball had landed in a difficult position to get it. I had to face my fear of heights and climb up and knock the ball down using a long rod, risking a head or neck injury. I ended up missing most of the cinematic, and now I have to start the level over again to see it in full!
I may be able to use the main computer at our house, but I still feel I can't do much without my laptop. I need to get a couple of Pokemon through trades, but if I go on my DS (I'll need it and my computer at the same time), people will think I'm off the computer, and take it from me. Also, my Warcraft 3 maps on here are way out of date, further limiting what I can do. Many other plans are made hard to do too, like updating for the Bring Back Bionicle Club and organising various craft commisions
This Sunday I have another meetup in the city with a group of friends I met online This Monday to Friday I'll be on holidays in Sydney - AND I'LL TAKE THE TRAIN THERE AND BACK! Around that time, my laptop should also come home. at the end of the month is another Pokemon tournament, this time held by those same friends I'm seeing this Sunday, rather than by Nintendo. I'll spend much time preparing.
BY READING! I was never a fan of reading, especially long novels, hence why I hate Harry Potter. However, yesterday saw me ordering three Warcraft novels at the nearby bookshop: the War of the Ancients trilogy. However, only part 3 was on the shelf, so I decided I'd buy that and order the other two, and just read part 3 anyway, since I had little else to do. The difference between these long novels and those of Harry Potter is that I was already a fan of Warcraft before getting these books,
Unlike the majority of BZPers, I'm actually beginning to grow tired of the My Little Pony meme. I believe this meme has gotten so out of hand that everyone is favouring it over Bionicle, and I'm concerned. If this keeps up, I fear it will seal Bionicle's fate as a dead toyline, and it will never come back because no-one else is interested in it anymore.
The Enter button on my MacBook Pro broke into pieces, so I'm getting it repaired. However, they are replacing the entire keyboard, so repairs will take a week. So, my activity on BZPower will be reduced until I get it back.
I have seen that new Amazon search ad thingy on the side of the front page of BZPower, and I don't like it. The default search term is HF, which, naturally, I find insulting for what is really a My Little Pony Bionicle website.
So, two items I got for Christmas were both Pikmin games. Christmas is nearly over in my time zone, and I've STILL yet to play them (in fact none of my presents have been opened!)! However, I have done a bit of research on Pikmin... ...AND DISCOVERED THAT PIKMIN PLUSHES EXIST! WANT!!!!!!!!!! My plan, as always, is to start buying them en masse once I move out.
2011 was a big year for Bionicle, as it was its 10th Anniversary! Let's take a look back and see just how big it was! January The being that caused the Dreaming Plague is revealed to be called Annona Sahmad, Telluris and Metus follow Annona to the Skakdi Fortress, where she confronts the gold-skinned being February Orde and Gelu escape the intelligent Vorox hunting them, and discover that an MU inhabitant was a GB in disguise! BZPower goes into downtime for a week March BZPower retu
A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take out a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up, not to rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty it was. She then told them to tell it they're sorry. Now, even though they said they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And th
I'm headed into the city with a group of friends I made in a social media group, where we will celebrate my 21st and a fan's 20th, so I'll be out all day! Tonight, I and a babysitter (yes, I'm getting a babysitter at 21 :/) will have to look after my brother, and he's in a bad mood atm. My parents will go out to another friend's 60th birthday party. I wasn't invited because of my 21st birthday; it'd be impolite to interrupt a 21st with another birthday. I hope to spend that time playing Pikmi
A while back, my friend (yes, the one from my infamous "Taming a Street Teenager" entries) wrote a song about me and how I saved his life. Sadly, that song was lost when his laptop's hard drive blew up. However, he has since written another one! Just as a heads-up, his spelling and grammar are sub-par as a result of his hard life. Enjoy!
