Ever since my first year of TAFE, I've become prejudiced against gamers. Many gamers I've seen, both at TAFE and on online chat, are arrogant, pompous, ignorant and rude. Since I'm not as privileged as most gamers, I therefore struggle to get along with them. I am a peasant at best in the eyes of gamers. And to think I'm doing a game development course at TAFE next year! :/
Today I had chips for lunch. Afterwards I got sick with stomach cramps! THAT'S RIGHT, I OF ALL PEOPLE GOT SICK!!!!! I was forced to return home and rest because I couldn't focus. I'm much better now, but I want to rest the rest of the day and reduce stress. So please, no "Bionicle is dead" nonsense for now.
Tomorrow I do a train trip to Box Hill, and the Alamein and Glen Waverley train lines. I'll also take the opportunity to apply for work at Metro, the company in charge of electric trains within Melbourne. Sadly, they recently axed a lot of jobs so I'll probably fall flat on my face, so I have a lot of backup plans ready: other places not involving trains where I could apply for work. To this day I have never worked for money despite my age, and I fear I've become too old for part-time work, an
It's been revealed that Eevee is part of the main Pokédex in the coming Pokémon games! I have therefore decided to get one of the games, and do a proper Eeveelution team! At this stage idk which game I want though.
Just last night I finally got my final Pokemon ready for the tournament, and still with a week to spare! Now all I need to do is practice with them.
I recently found out that we can switch Pokemon between battles, so I'm considering training a Psychic Pokemon and maybe a Chandelure, since the former could counter the main counter to my team, and the latter is all-round powerful.
It's unlikely that any other BZPers will be attending the tournament in Melbourne, but if you do, look for the A
Yesterday, I finally got the chance to attend a Pokémon Video Game National Championships, something I've been dreaming of ever since the series started in 2009! The event was held in Victoria, Australia, at the Melbourne Showgrounds. I had been working until late the night before to get my team ready. However, one of my Pokémon was below level 50, and when I arrived at the tournament, I discovered that all Pokémon below level 50 would NOT get scaled up like every other Pokémon! So I ended up
So, I decided to go on eBay for the first time in a while, and I found I didn't regret it: I found THREE sales for Misprint Kanohi! One for the 6 misprint Ruru (60 GBP), the 6 misprint Matatu (60 GBP) and one for a blue misprint Kaukau (20 BGP)! The seller is called teresaslegos. She is the best seller on eBay for Bionicle sets of verying rarities, especially full collections! VERY highly recommended! The Misprint Kaukau: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RARE-Colour-Kanohi-KAUKAU-Mask-Highly-Colle
Very funny topic closing posts! SPIRIT and Turakki #1 Lavasurfer (mainly) used to do them all the time, and I always looked forward to seeing their closing posts. Sadly, both of them seem to have mostly disappeared, and AFAIK no-one as of yet (except Nuhrii the Metruan just recently, prompting me to make this entry) has made any sort of attempt to make a funny topic-closer. If I'm wrong, please do enlighten me.
No, this does not have anything to do with ponies, this is to do with real life. When I started my TAFE course, I was scared I wouldn't get along with the other people in my group. Thankfully, I was wrong. My classmates are very friendly and tight-knit; maybe not as much as that local Pokémon group I can no longer name, but close. I hope it will add to the enjoyment I hope to have in this course. However, I am nervous. I've noticed a pattern in my life. If I have a really good year, it is im
...I realise that even if Bionicle does come back, I'll still have a sig. Obviously most of my sig is made up of Bring Back Bionicle propaganda, but there is also that baterra pitch for LEGO Ideas which I can keep after LEGO's announcement. Speaking of said announcement, when is the New York Comic Con? Rumour has it they'll make the announcement AND reveal the sets at that event.
Apparently Rayman Origins is only for the Wii, XBox and PS3. I have a Wii, but I seldom get the chance to play it because it's in the family room, and getting in the way of my father is a sin punishable by death. If it was for the PC like its predecessors, I'd be able to get it. But it's not, and that alone is an epic fail.
I am a loyal follower of the reality show Survivor, and especially a fan of the Teridax of the show, Russell! In fact, I love him so much that I got extremely butthurt when he was voted out and then lost the Redemption Island duel! Like the Announcement that Bionicle would end, only quieter, kind of butthurt. I also now hate Ralph because he was the mastermind behind it all.
If I was on that show and on the same tribe as those two, I'd be scheming furiously against Ralph, even if I get voted
Has anyone tried to make a Kolhii league irl? I may not be fit but I'd love to be part of such a sport. I'd do it myself but I'm Australian and there aren't enough Bionicle fans down here.
I heard somewhere that Nintendo makes Pikmin just for fun, not for profit, and wouldn't care if it makes a loss on the series. Can anyone here confirm if that's true?
I've made a LOT of progress in Pikmin 2 in the past two days. Yesterday I discovered the Wistful Wild and the Doomsday Aparatus. Then I made 100 purple Pikmin to haul it to the Ship. I then found the rest of the above-ground treasures, and then started making progress in the Dream Den. Today I collected every treasure in sublevels 1-13 except one on sublevel 10. The one I missed was surrounded by water, and I didn't have enough blue Pikmin to haul it to the research pod. Then I found Louie s
Once again, I am at a loss for what I truly want to do for a living. I'm the kind of guy who is a jack of all trades, master of none. I'm good at a lot of things and I have a wide variety of interests, but I'm not GREAT at anything. I could continue my current pursuit of game development, which has interested me on and off for a while. My recently-developed love of reading (courtesy of Greg Farshtey, obviously) has inspired me to try and get back into writing stories, and I can tell the stori
I want to continue study at TAFE to get into the computer games industry, but my parents are against my continuing to study because they think I'm going to become a professional student, and do nothing but study for my whole life. Even if I can convince them, I won't have enough money to both start a TAFE course I found that I want to do, and buy my dad's car off him (my driving test is coming in a week). I do plan to try and find work, but I'm scared. Getting part-time work is harder than peo
A thread in each forum for single questions. That way the forums won't get cluttered with small questions like what I just posted in S&T. /shameless advertising
