Although I did consider calling this entry "The Slender Man of Bionicle" I think Blaze from Mortal Kombat is a better fit here, but if anyone thinks they know what the character I'm looking for is then go right ahead and tell me in the comments. So, this is a promo picture of Iconox as seen on Strakk's canister: If you know me you know I had the closer Glatorian in the foreground (who I've dubbed "Snow N. Ice Oakenshield") as my avatar for years and considered it my calling card. In fact,
I wish I said this, I wish I said that But I kinda froze in my tracks I wish I said this, I wish I said that But I kinda had a panic attack I wish I could talk good I wish I could talk, I wish I could talk I wish I could talk good (Although honestly this is how I feel most days. :/ )
Yeah, I just realized the other week that I don't have a signature below my posts; I'm sure I had a good reason for doing that, but still I...wait. Did I put a "C" instead of an "S" in the title? Oh well, might as well just roll with it. So, I did some browsing around the forums and noticed that, for one, a surprising number of people don't have a sig at all, but also that everything in sigs fell into a few categories: links, quotes, and occasionally a moc image or banner. And when I think
Yep, today is my five year anniversary on BZPower. Not as impressive as it used to be either when I first joined or when I was a lurker, but whatever. This has gotten me thinking a bit, about how much my life has changed since I first joined and if you read through my profile feed (please don't) you can see me chronicling some of those changes. Me being me, I'm most interested in how much my music hobby has changed since then; back when I first joined my primary means of music consumption w
(Yes I know this is a little old, but I just found out about this the other day so I'm gonna talk about it now.) For those who don't know, in the Yu-Gi-Oh card game you can only have up to three copies of a single card in any one deck; exceptions being semi-limited, limited, and forbidden cards of which you can only have two of, one of, and none of respectively. What cards are limited and forbidden is decided by Konami with their frequently updated Limited and Forbidden List the latest update
Recently I was reading "The Hedge Knight" graphic novel, which is based on a "A Game of Thrones" prequel and there is one bit where two characters are discussing a particularly mean and nasty prince (Aerion the Monstrous) who, being a Targaryen and all, believes himself to be a dragon (the Targaryen sigil). One of the two characters then comments that he wishes that the prince were a Fossoway (whose sigil is an apple) so that he would believe that he were, well, an apple. Now I of course got a
Get it On:
- Spotify Another year come and gone, which means it's time to roll out my list of my favorite songs of the year! This was my fourth year doing a favorite songs list and like always since January first I've been compiling my "nominees" into a word document as I find them; unlike previous years though I started work on this list a little bit early than normal (early October). Sorry, couldn't help myself. Anyway on the list itself, if you know my taste in music then you kno
Thanks to the great generosity of Bfahome this blog has returned from the ashes (for a little while anyway). Expect entries about the same inane things I used to blog about (mostly music and uh...stuff) shortly! Until then, bye!
For now? Yeah, my premier membership is up in a day or two and I've decided to not renew it. I'll admit it's been fun; having a blog (that I'll be the first to admit I didn't update enough) and neat images under my member title, but I don't really get enough out of it to justify buying another year or even lifetime membership. Still, like I said I had fun and I got to help support a site I love a lot so it's all good. And hey, never say never right? Maybe, I'll change my mind some day,
In my "Best Everything of 2016" list entry, I lamented the fact that I only watched 10 new movies last year and that I was going to try harder to watch more movies this year. Well, so far this year I've watch 13 new movies and I regret nothing...well, actually I do kind of regret seeing "Beauty and The Beast" and "Aftermath", but whatever. So what were these movies and what did I think of them? "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is one of my favorites of the year so far and I love it. Oddly en
And not just in terms of everything except choreography.
[Yes I've known about these videos for some time (and I've also seen the video where Obi-Wan Force Speeds straight into the power generator pit), I'm just posting them as food for thought, and no I don't mind if you like this fight or the movie it's from.]
Very recently, Voltex posted in his blog about making a list of every one of your favorite movies from every year you've been alive and I decided to do the same thing. Echoing some of the things he said, I too need something to blog about and I also need to watch more movies especially from the year I was born. I will also add that I need an excuse not to start writing a short story that's a sequel to that "Twilight Zone" episode "To Serve Man". Now on to the movies! 96: "That Thing You Do
This has nothing to do with the movie I've been meaning to watch again for the millionth time. No, this is about the return of The Bionicle Caption Contest to G&T! Like most things I do, the decision to bring back this classic BZP game was completely spontaneous. I have fond memories of reading through the original topic as a guest and I've always felt that G&T was missing something without it; so since I'm trying to be more active around I thought it was time to bring it back the g
Today is my three year anniversary on BZPower; feels more like two. I wonder if I should try and be more active around here or something... That is all, now continue with whatever you were doing.
OK, I know I'm getting this up a little later than I wanted to, but regardless here are the rest of my year-end lists for the year of 2016 for your reading pleasure and because I really like making top lists. So, let's start with... Best Movie of 2016: "10 Cloverfield Lane" You know, I don’t know I make these best movies lists when I do. And the reason I say this is because I watched some of my favorite movies of 2015 (“Mad Max: Fury Road” and “Krampus”) for the first time in 2016 and m
The Rules: EP needs to have been released between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2016 EP must have at least 3, but no more than 9 songs to be considered for this list. Honorable Mention: "From the Grave" - Juliet Simms 10. “Ultraviolet EP” – Dagny Favorite Tracks: "Fight Sleep", “Too Young” 9. “Libelle” – Annabel Jones Favorite Tracks: “IOU”, “Money, Love, Success” 8. “EMOTION SIDE B” – Carly Rae Jepsen Favorite Tracks: “Higher”, “Cry” 7. “Ammunition” – Krewella Favorite Tracks: “Ma
With another year almost come and gone Spotify has sent all its users their year in music, which means it’s time to talk about how I listened to music in 2016. This time around, Spotify was a lot less revealing having replaced a dedicated site with a simple email with regrettably less detailed statistics, but whatever it’s still interesting (to me) so let’s go with it. In numbers: This year I listened to 35,330 minutes of music (580 hours, 24 days), which is way up from last year’s 22,000 min
In the last couple of months I've seen a few new movies both in theaters and on DVD; a couple of which are several decades old, so their only new to me, but whatever here are my thoughts on all of them along with some pointless number ratings. "Krampus" 8/10 This is a movie I wanted to watch as soon as I saw Red Letter Media's review of it last December, and I finally did see it last month and I was not disappointed. It was a silly over-the-top horror comedy and it worked perfectly as that
Last week(ish), I finished watching the entire first season of one of my favorite TV shows "The Twilight Zone". So, for as long as I can remember I've always enjoyed Sci-fi's "Twilight Zone" marathons, but despite always considering it a favorite show of mine I've never actually had any exposure to the show outside of the marathons. Well, recently I decided to change that and so I borrowed the first season from my local library and went to watching. I'm not going to ramble on here about my
In America, you scare your daughter's boyfriend: Man throws bullet at daughter's boyfriend, "It gets a lot faster after 10 pm." In Soviet Russia, your daughter's boyfriend scares you! FPSrussia drives up to girlfriend's house in T-14 Armata tank and emerges from turret draped in machine gun belts, "I'll bring her home when I feel like it." Thank you, I'm here all week.
