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
I just found a problem with the blog layout. Whenever I access the blogs with Internet Explorer, the blog's rows appear massive, and they don't show the latest entry on the right. Are these blogs simply incompatible with Internet Explorer?
This is the Bellsprout that follows me around on my journey, always out of sight. It wants to join my team and my quest, but is far too shy to approach me and ask. Sometimes it can have its own adventures, and every so often its actions save me from danger, though I never realise.
You may or may not know that I collect Pokemon plush toys. Here are some photos of popular Pokemon plushes that I have uploaded to deviantArt (if I'm allowed to mention that site's name): These are my two Wobbuffet plushes. I added lipstick to the one on the right so I could tell them apart more easily, and because females have lipstick for real. Without it I'd have to look at their legs to tell them apart (The Wobbuffet on the left stands taller on his front legs than the one on the right do
Please note: Despite the following rant, I am not racist. Please also note that this is going to be a very long entry. Over the past decade, the Nanny Plague that has been spreading throughout the countries of the west has slowly been eating away at Pokemon from within. In the good old days Pokemon had a much higher target audience, but America misinterpreted it, thinking Pokemon is for little kids when it's really meant for people over the age of 10 (under-10s can also play it, as I did ba
I believe suspending school students should be abolished and replaced with something more appropriate. People may think suspensions protect the victims of bullies, but they actually put them in more danger! The bullies who get suspended HATE school. They don't want to be there. Therefore, they WANT to be suspended. They see it as a REWARD. And what better a way to get that 'reward' than to torture an innocent fellow student? Long story short, suspensions encourage bullying.
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
It's been a while since my last entry because I've been working so hard with my Pokemon training (among other things), so I decided I'd give an update.
I've finally finished EV training my team, and have started teaching them their moves. As an added bonus, my Zoroark has just the Hidden Power I wanted: Ice! So, I've already taught it that move and look forward to adding it to my surprise attacks in the tournament!
Sadly, my Swanna can't learn Waterfall, so I'll have to capture another wa
bonesiii posted a fantastic thread in General Discussion explaining in great detail why Bionicle is highly likely to come back. Click here to read it. I'm considering adding a link to the deviantArt branch too, but I'll need permission first. Stay tuned. EDIT: Permission was granted, and the blog entry is posted.
I was just in the new "Who would win?" thread, and I was just about to post when I noticed something in the Active Members list. From what I had seen it looked like my name was on the list twice! So I went back and had a look, and noticed the name "Makuta Oz" at the end of the list. Naturally curious, I clicked on his name, and found that he was a New Member! Perhaps he was a fan of mine, and joined because of me? Maybe it had something to do with the fact that I was recently in the Member Spotl
I only just got up, and as always, the first thing I did (even before having breakfast :/) is go on BZPower. One of the first things I see is that I have 3 new messages, all of which are VMs. I read them and... SHOCK HORROR... I'm getting congratulated on being on Member Spotlight! Naturally, I rush back to the home page and take a look, and indeed that is me in the Spotlight! VERY Exciting, even if it is just a random number! :D :D
For the rest of April, my activity on BZPower will drop. Why?
Because yet another Pokemon tournament is coming to Australia!
The Pokemon Video Game World Championships refuse to give us a fair go, so Nintendo Australia will be holding state tournaments across the country to partway make up for it! We'll be using the same rules as the VGC are this year: Double battles, Unova Pokemon only.
How that will relate to my drop in BZPower activity? Well, I'm gonna train hard and get a team read
As you know, I'm quite pedantic about people using underscores rather than spaces when typing my name, because of potential confusion between me and the other Makuta of Oz, with spaces. However, I don't mind if people leave out underscores when abbreviating my name to MoO or MoZ. Just thought I'd clear that up.
And no I'm not a cow.
BTW, before you start, I don't want to change my display name until Bionicle comes back. I already have a name in mind for when that happens.
All of a sudden interest in my club has gone up! In the past 9 hours we've had three new members join the group, including, as of just moments ago, our 20th member! This branch of the club has nearly reached the peak it was at when it was originally run by Brawl and Megatron's Beak (known back then as PAPER SPEAKERS WAT). As an added bonus, there hasn't been as much fighting as there was in the old branch! For that I thank all members and visitors to the club. This discipline stuff is easy
Thirty years ago, an army of evil Digimon called the Digital Villainy declared war on the toy civilisations of our world. They would've taken over the world too, had it not been for the interference of a group called The Jigsaw Of Rebecca. Despite heavy losses, they were able to force the Digital Villainy back into the DigiWorld.
Now, the Digital Villainy have returned, and threaten to wage war against the world once again! The following members have been sighted in south-eastern Australia tr
I'm considering giving blood on the holidays!
The topic was initially brought up at TAFE (before you start, TAFE = Training And Further Education, kind of like College for Australians) when I gloated stated that I have an extremely powerful immune system (one that saw me never take a sickie from school for 3 or 4 years in a row!), and was later mentioned a few times in an ad on TV.
One in 3 Australians need blood, but only one in thirty donates. I think it would be quite worthwhile for me
I just found out that that so-called April Fool's 'joke' was not a joke at all, that the banner is pretty much there to stay. That means I will not visit the wiki ever again until a trusted source tells me it's gone.
BS01's April Fools 'joke' is an eye-poison. How do I know this? Because I use Safari on my Mac.
When I open a new tab in Safari, I am shown thumbnails of 12 of my favourites. Unfortunately one of those 'favourites' is BS01, so now opening a new tab and is an excruciatingly painful task, because I always find myself seeing that thumbnail and poisoning my eyes!
The sooner that joke ends, the sooner my poisoned eyes can heal.
