My Name Is Maximus Decimus Meridius ...

... commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.   Subtle hint? 2009? I think not.

Brickcon 2008

I plan to send all the stuff I was planning to send to Brickfestair to Brickcon, wish me luck!   Once again my hopes have been foiled by school, I've spent so much time preparing for exams (I have chem tonight) and fooling around that I don't have any time left to get any mocs to arpy before Oct 1. Oh well.

The Art Of The Brick™

I went to the Stamford Museum and Nature Center in Stamford, CT today to see this: http://stamfordmuseum.org/exhibit-spot.html   You can see most of the stuff that was featured on the slideshow, but it wasn't anything compared to seeing the stuff in real life. I'm not all that great with the brick medium, I'm much better with technic, so this stuff was amazing. Not that it wasn't amazing to begin with, but wow. I walked into the first room, Blue was the centerpiece, which is a human constructin

The Quest For Lucario

Yesterday I worked for all of 10 minutes on mastering Lurario's down-B move, double team. I've become more of a spammer with it than anything as of right now (), but am becoming better with the timing of it. I played a couple rounds against a friend of mine and was able to do pretty well while focusing most of my time on getting double team to work. I fear that I will have to use an attacking CPU in training mode to refine the skill.   Double team works by Lucario going into an animation, if y

Brickfair Moc Rush - Updated

I have a couple MoCs I want to sent down to brickfair: -Nightshade and Firefly -an unfinished WIP which I'm waiting on parts for (hopefully I can have it finished in time) -Synthetic Mecha v2 -maybe the Bohrok I made for UBBC50? and the bohrok kal if I ever finish it -Lewa Nuva   Then I'll have everything mailed to my dorm room after brickfair is over.     --- UPDATE:   No mocs will be at brickfair since they're supposed to be in DC by tomorrow.... I was going to send them out then.

Reflection

I’ve done a bunch of things in my history on bzp that can be construed as bad. At the forefront of this was the FSS. Made for BBC 39, initially as a joke, it transformed into a way to show that the voting system was flawed. I was adamant to have the system changed, and I stopped at nothing to have my say, from my stint at the end of BBC 39, to my mass PMing spree the following month. Looking back at the whole charade now, I can hardly believe what I did, but the evidence is there. I can hardly b

Help?

My article for the next issue of Kanohi Journal is due next Wednesday, which of the new canister sets should I get? Or not get?

Decision Time

I'm really bored, I suppose that I should finish my entry for the UBBC50. I have started the bohrok, and I still have to build the entire kaita.     --or--     I could play Brawl.

President Obama

Obama/Biden just won the election, which makes me very happy. McCain/Palin gave it a good run, but ultimately fell short, but they tried, that's what matters.

Chrome

I just downloaded Chrome, the new browser from Google. It was released last Tuesday to my knowledge and it pretty basic as of now. I've visited a couple sites so far and I have to admit, I like the features it has. Some of the noticeable differences from Firefox are: The websites domain is in black while the rest of the URL is gray, so here: http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=245. When you open a new tab it displays your most visited pages as thumbnails that you ca

Why... Hello There

Uh, hey guys. Welcome to my own little corner of the blogoshpere as it is flooded by people just like myself who don't actually have premier membership... I'd say that writing this at 11PM EST would give me some edge from the flow of other blog posts, but it is the summer.     Asides from that, here's what's going on in my life right now: -getting stuff ready for college -working -hanging out with friends -a little bit of building (maybe I'll toss in some pics at some point on this blog) /

Ubbc 50 Progress - Episode 1 (updated)

Av-Matoran Everything is finished on him except for the arms, which have to be made. -White main color with small amounts of black, trans-red heartlight to boot. -White Miru is the mask. Pics: 1, 2     Bohrok Just a small amount of detail work left. -Black body, white head, white extremities. -Haven't picked a krana to put in yet, I have a white xa, not sure what I have in the other colors, probably will go with whatever color is associated with the white bohrok. -Handshields are white

Dv V. Cajun

Excited? I have been for a while now.   I was very impressed with DV's entry in the contest and I'm glad it won.   And I'm sure Cajun will put together something very awesome. He had one idea in mind......... but I don't want to go into any more detail.     DV deserved this win. Congrats man.

Bbc 50 Twist Ending

Unfortunately I missed the BBC 50 voting, it slipped my mind completely. It's a shame, my vote would have likely been DV's Vayland Dragon. The neck on the beast is magnificant, though I believe the back legs and the tail leave something to be desired.   As for the twist ending that Tufi hinted at in the voting topic, I hope it is something epic, and something that I'll be able to participate vote in, since I missed my opportunity to this time. Of course, knowing Tufi, this twist has to be somet

Portal - Xbox 360

Portal comes in the Orange Box combo disk of three Half Life games, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.   In Portal you play as a human/robot thingy that uses a portal gun to complete various tests for GLaDOS, a robot in control of Aperture Science. As with many games I like, it's full of puzzles, and I'm looking forward to the challenge modes, these include the advanced mode, and various other things such as completing levels as fast as possible or with as few portals as possible. It's a great probl

Ubbc 50 Progress - Episode 2

This entry will deal exclusively with the bohrok kaita, which is more or less no more than a thought right now.   The body will be largely black, with white armoring. I contemplated the blue and green of the true kaita, but I thought it would look messy, so I skipped that. Krika plays an important role on this beast, would be nice to have a second, but I think that a little bit of asymmetry could be a refreshing change. So then I'm left wondering what to do about the left arm. What to do with

Fable 2 - Bloodstone Glitch

I just got stuck in the Bloodstone Glitch in Fable 2. I don't have enough experience to carry on the main quest, since the seemingly pompous Reaver won't talk to me until I have enough renown. So now I'm stuck without the ability to use A, B, X, or Y to interact with people.   From reading online apparently this is isolated to Bloodstone so I guess I'll go outside the accursed city and attempt to to other quests and whatnot. Hopefully there will be a patch soon to fix this glitch.   Moral of

Premier Membership Acquired

I Are In Your Blogs!   Killing Your Bandwidths!       So uh, welcome to my non-non-premier-week blog.       UBBC50 progress is going well, I have a pretty solid (once I built it) design for the bohrok body. And let me say, clutch gears are very, very nice parts to have.

Dogsitting

I'm taking care of one of my bests friends dogs, which enables me to live at his house! It's so nice to be away from my family, it's nice and peaceful over here.     I had to move most of my parts though so I can finish my UBBC 50 entry though, so I took some tape and taped the drawers shut, still gotta figure out where I want to set up base camp for all the bins though...     Overall, I'm in a great mood right now, maybe I'll leech some Live and play team fortress 2.

Valkyrie

I just saw Valkyrie in my local movie theater, it's an awesome movie and I highly recommend it. I found it interesting that there were so many failed attempts to take Hitler's life by the German people, crazy. Really good movie, I'll probably go see it again with my dad cuz he's interested in seeing it.   Oh, btw, » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Hitler lives.
