Last blog I left off at the start of the public days of BrickFair. Nothing particularly special happened on either day. I did, however, get a delicious fish. Recapping on the weekend, I told myself not to spend any money at BrickFair this year because I have other priorities to spend my money on. I successfully did not spend any money on LEGO. However, taking into account the wings, taco bell trips, gas, and fish dinners, I spent over $100. Woops. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At the LEGO Group Q&A at Brick
Oh shoot I forgot about this thing. Anyways, I'm working on a little side project that you guys might enjoy: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Meiko/TCW/tcw_app.png Please link to images over 500 kB. -B6 If anybody knows XAML, I'd love your help on this. I've tried making a JavaScript, C#, C++, and VB Windows 8 app, but the XAML in all of them... I just can't wrap my head around that language. <_< So yeah, any help available would be nice. Heck I can even add you into the credits on w
Look the policy changed! So I can actually link to sites like Facebook without having to annoy Black Six on AIM now! Well yeah so LINKS: Facebook (mostly posts about my personal life, but some LEGO-related stuff too) Twitter (same as Facebook) Tumblr (mostly just bands and fandom stuff) Instagram (my boring self and pictures of where I go) Oh and I changed my blog name
So there's a beaver tribe now, in a video I can't link to, though it is on The Chima Wiki's video hosting site. Here they are. Also, I got a much better image of Plomar. Oh and a REALLY good image of Furty the Fox and G'Loona the gorilla, never before seen on TV or in sets (except Toy Fair). What do you guys think?
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmasssssssss Ehem. So for those who have already been celebrating, yay. For those who will be celebrating tomorrow, I know how you feel; I can't wait either. I have my eyes on one present I know I'm getting. My new computer. So this is the last night I'll be posting from this little guy. And thank goodness my phone is so amazing because I'm running a USB LAN connection from it's 4G signal, because there is usually no Wi-Fi here at my nana's house.
Oh my goodness I love this thing. And yes it has Windows 8 but it's awesome. I can actually play games now! But since I've been at my grandma's house which has no wifi, I've been running a LAN network through the USB connection of my phone (4G speeds yay), but I have to wait to install my newly bought games like Max Payne 3 because that would cost me over $300 in data overages.
The Ninjago Wiki has received confirmation of Ninjago to continue in 2014. The Ninjago Wiki will be bringing you more information and answering these FAQs shortly: Will there be more sets? Yes, there will in fact be more sets in 2014. [*]Will the TV series on Cartoon Network continue? [*]What will happen to Chima and Ninjago in 2014 being at the same time? Lemme hear your thoughts!
So jamesster and I were discussing LEGOLAND, and I realized how long ago it was that I was last at a LEGOLAND park. This is a picture of my most recent trip to LEGOLAND Cali: An while I'm at it, here is Aanchir, Lyichir and I at LEGOLAND Cali: (from left to right: My dad, Lyichir, Aanchir, me) Also, just if you are curious, here was my first experience with LEGO, at the age of 1:
Anybody interested in playing tomorrow night? I might make it a regular thing on Sunday evenings. 9pm, feel free to come early or later. 173.72.194.6:27015 ^ there's the IP. There will be an invite thing to everyone in the BZPower Steam group. Is mvm_mannhattan and mvm_rottenburg good?
So, a contact of mine at LEGO is getting some beta accounts for Legends of Chima: Online for some of the TCW Staff, including me. I won't legally be able to share screenshots or videos of gameplay until the game is out, though, so... yeah. I'll keep you updated. I can't wait.
Guess I'll make a blog for once about my BrickFair adventures Day 1: Didn't really do anything at the con besides check in and help set up sound system Did not bring any MOCs. Bailed on the con to go take car pics (what else is new) and get free buffalo wings courtesy of my northern virginia friends Day 2: Did a seminar that I did not plan for ahead of time. Winged the whole thing and according to some audience members I nailed it. Starbucks "chill sesh" with Beyond the Brick and Kevin Hi
So apparently my purchase of a membership isn't in the system, according to Black Six. Thank goodness I have the PayPal order receipt to prove I bought that. I'm not going to re-purchase something like this, let alone something I have to continuously pay for every year. I hope this gets resolved soon. Has anybody else had problems like this with the BZPower store?
As many of you have likely noticed, The Ninjago Wiki and The Chima Wiki are not accessible. The reason for this downtime is that we just bought a brand new server, with much more RAM, bandwidth, and space! The downtime wasn't planned to be this long, so I wanted to give you an update if you don't follow any of the sites' social network pages. When the sites come back up though, everything will be the same, and the site will be much faster than before.
I believe all of the judges have sent in their votes at this time. Hahli Husky will post the winners when she gets the chance. Since I'm in charge of prizes, there may be a delay in shipping the 2nd and 3rd place prizes (spinners). The reason for this is that they are in heavy demand this holiday season, and I can't find a single spinner set anywhere. NRG Jay and NRG Zane seem to be some people's favorites, so I'll try to look for some of them. If I have to though, I'll order them online. I'
I swear we have the weirdest conversations. Half of the conversation yesterday is our top-secret troll plan that we might be able to do at a certain time of year in 2013. No more details. The other half is an agreement that hashtags and swag makes everything better, so we are... Making a charity called #hastags4swag that guarantees 1 swag donated for every hashtag. All of my posts on my profile feed will now be hashtags because why not.
Hey guys, I've been going through all my old clothes that are way too small for me anymore and a few of them happen to be LEGO or BZPower related so I figured I'd see if anyone would like to buy them before I send them to Goodwill. None of them are torn and they're all clean and well-laundered over the years. I'll probably just ask $10 for each (covers shipping which is usually around $5 for a package and allows me to make a small amount of money off of it) unless you don't live in the United St
As most of you know, I do professional automotive photography as my job/hobby outside of the LEGO community. Turns out I do more car-related stuff than LEGO-related stuff nowadays though, but some people asked me about my work while I was at BrickFair New Jersey, and while I had just bought 10248 Ferrari F40, I decided to try combining my two hobbies. You can see my other work (of real cars, not LEGO) at https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgebarnick/. This was the first time I've tried photog
Yes, this post needed to happen. For no reason. It's 12/12/12. Isn't that cool? Yeah, I thought not. Unless you are getting married on this day, in which congrats. Also, Aanchir and Lyichir are home. Let's see how long we last before we fight each other to death... Also, thoron and I have been playing Halo 1 a lot recently. Fun stuff. Very fun stuff.
Chima premiers tomorrow! And even better, I'll be able to watch it on my new 50" HDTV, instead of the little box I had before. It's gonna be awesome. Hopefully the TV show will bring lots of activity to The Chima Wiki. Any help is appreciated.
