Updates:
-- S&T5 Ranking Poll. Congrats to the ten winners! (That poll is just to determine order of listage in BRC. )
-- Ojhilom and I love the theme of the first FCG contest so much we decided to go ahead and enter. We've got a test level about haaalfway completed -- the basic gameplay is already playable and it's addictive.
I don't want to say too much, but I can say it's set on Twisted Island, will be the fifth Paracosmos Bonus Series episode (takes place after Mindfire in la
Random updates:
--Epics Contest poll is up until Wednesday! I hope you consider voting for Mindfire.
--Posted artwork for Mindfire! Mindfire Art, Avs + Coolified Icarax, Mutran, & Bitil Avs. Basically it's the symbol in this entry's banner and avatar versions of everything in this image:
--All that art and several sketches are now featured in the Review Topic. A few sketches in there are never-before-seen but drawn long ago, some as far back as 2001.
--Ojhilom and I are al
Edit: And that's it. A few entries were squeezed in, so glad I did that. Alright, from now on the only part of the contest that's open is the editing time, as explained below. Little under a week for that.
Repub: One hour left!
Repub: Four hours left now! No late entries have come in -- these four hours are your last chance!
The midnight quoted below is referring to TONIGHT now, at midnight EST.
So about nine hours left to submit late entries via PM!
I've just launched an LDDE MOC project to make lotsa Bionicle stuff at Minifig and similar scales, as System MOCs (primarily). I'm starting mostly with Rahi, and the first batch is up! Plus, a Kini-Nui is thrown in. Going with one of the MOCs, and releasing early, is some more art for my retelling: And in case you missed it, recently I also released a sketch of the Mask of Creation. Enjoy!
Repubbing -- you have till noon EST tomorrow! Enter fast!
Assuming it doesn't get deleted again lol, this is the FINAL deadline to enter, and it's approaching fast! Go!
S&T#5: Time Capsule Contest
Various Updates: For some reason, the blog software isn't letting me post my "Friends Can Disagree" entry, which is written. Although, I needed to cut down on some of it cuz it got too wordy IMO. I've had longer entries so glitch is something else. Hunting it down. (Lol, this is the first image-free entry I've ever done I think -- I'm out of time.) For now, other updates I wanted to post: Has anyone made a "What Would You Name Makuta?" topic yet? Because most of you complaining about the nam
This list was compiled totally voluntarily by ~~Zarkan~~, mostly from the RPG. Thanks, man! This will be linked in Ojhilom's walkthrough post in the RPG: The Map of Mata Nui. I've made minor edits, and added pronounciations.

Event #1: Bionicle (mostly) ends.
Event #2: Bionicle news of the kinds we covered before lessens, naturally.
Event #3: BZPower news service branches out to cover fan creations (yay!), other Bionicle-like LEGO lines like Hero Factory, and even other LEGO news in general.
Event #4: In talkback after talkback, a certain group of members choruses "this is BZPower, not (insert specific acronym per story)ZPower, you guys are desperate for news, blah blah blah whine whine whine."

Hey yall, still undead. So, just thought I should let yall know wuzzup with me and stuff. The whole downtime thing threw most of my plans out the window. I had planned to work on an updated version of The Map of Mata Nui, tying up loose ends, but that got delayed by a lot of work being required by me to get us back up on the new forum, and now that we're back I've got plenty else to do like the contests and stuff. I did have time to finish the next BP epic, Endless Blue, however, and hope t
So, I'm a little late in seeing this, but I just found out I am one of the winners in the Lego Digital Designer 4.0 contest. Whee!
The announcement page is here, and here's the download page. I'm cited by name there (they mispelled it, but everybody mispells my name anyways so whatever ).
If you open the program, my Giant Unicycle is shown as the third of the top three models! I've seen lotsa people upload modifications of that in the Gallery already, which is awesome.
Then if you go i
So, in the interests of this blog not being entirely dead, I'm launching another blog contest.
This one will be very simple, with rules designed already into the program LEGO Digital Designer 4. I love using this program and watching the upload gallery, but Bionicle MOCs are rarely made with it. Of course, it doesn't have many Bionicle pieces, but what about something like a Playsets location? There's all kinds of possibilities.
So for this contest, you are charged to use LDD4 to make B
So, I felt like finally making LGD topics for some of my LDD creations. Go and post and stuff.
These are actually only my three most recent MOCs. I might do topics for some of my best older stuff too at some point. Other angles provided in the topics.
Hatman vs. Fogman
Wooden Sailing Ship
Edited for Fogman V2.
Edited again for Hatman V2 (from advice by MechaFizz).
Hey, I just wanted to quickly apologize for not being very active lately, keeping up with things, etc. Unfortunately, you can expect this to continue for the next few weeks, so if I seem to be ignoring questions, etc. please bear with me.
*man, that was a boring blog entry...*
Two important updates:
1) Last chance to enter the Bohrok Kool contest. Ends this Tuesday at midnight EST! [Edit:] That's just a few hours left!
2) I want to do a poll asking opinions on the best mask name for (what is currently called) Vulture. See my previous blog entry for full details and discussion; basically it's a power that Toa consider immoral, absorbing escaping energies (esp. life energy) from recently dead in your vicinity. Vulture is the name with the most reasons behind it (s
Enter the Pet Peeve Contest before Nov 29!
BZP must ban the bad grammers toady! Its really anoyying when member's use bad grammer and speling, their just spaming. it need's for stop! Yay of the grammer hammar! Sine hear!
If you think I'm making up the style of posts mimicked above, think again. I've seen it time and time again; members complaining about others' bad grammar and spelling, and in the same post, using bad grammar in the very same post, and worse, misspelling "grammer".
Some Paracosmos news--first, I finally got around to updating something on the website. The reference section for the Paracosmos Kanohi has been "under construction" for a while, and recently I uploaded sketches of each and every one of the Kanohi that the Toa Olda know about and that is listed in the RPG. So why not make the guide?
It's the same facts you can find if you talk to Vakama in the RPG, but here is it for easier reference sake: Paracosmos Kanohi Guide.
Speaking of the RPG,
Just a few updates on various things:
-Contest: Well, I took most of Tuesday and Wednesday off, thinking I could catch up on Thursday with updating lists n such... the contest's been such a drain of my energy I needed a break. Then of course the weird glitch hit that took the server offline all day Thursday. Today I am rushing to catch up.... >_>
-Paracosmos: In the meantime I was able to begin (just barely) work on the RPG again. We're almost ready to release a version 1.2, actuall
Today the Bones Blog brings you an interview with one of Evil Lord Survurlode's minions, the Chief Gremlin. I discovered the existence of these creatures only by a slip of the tongue on Survurlode's part on the last interview. I've hunted down the Chief and he has agreed to let me interview him in person at his home. Though I was a little confused when he told me to meet him on a tiny rocky island off the coast of Metru Nui... This time I brought my own camera, so I could include snapshots, and
Today the Bones Blog brings you a telephone interview with our contact among the Orcas -- the enemies of Survurlode who BZPower has recently formed an alliance with. From a canal in Ga-Metru, let's welcome Goblahk!
bones: Hello, Goblahk.
Goblahk: Hi there. Thanks for the interview.
bones: Why don't you begin by introducing yourself?
Goblahk: Well, My name is Goblahk, and I'm an Orca.
Goblahk: We're former minions of Survurlode -- he thought he should have something like Sauron
Enter the Powerpoint Face Contest by May 15!
Today the Bones Blog brings you an interview with a Lawyerahk, one of many creatures who serve Evil Lord Survurlode in his Dreaded Real Life Attack Wing. One of our contacts recommended Lawyerahk Bob, and set up a telephone interview appointment with him, after several days due to his busy schedule.
bonesiii: Hello, is this Lawyerahk Bob?
AUTOMATED VOICE: Welcome to the phone system for Lawyerahk Bob Legal Services. If you would lik
Today the Bones Blog brings you an interview with the creature Gollaga, former wielder of the One Refresh, the weapon of our enemy, Evil Lord Survurlode. We believe that this artifact is tied to Survurlode's powers just like Sauron was to his One Telephone Ring. Let's hope we can figure out how to find and destroy it! But don't tell Gollaga that, please...
bones: Thanks for agreeing to talk with us, Gollaga. We've been trying to track you down for months ever since Evil Lord Survurlode told
Today the Bones Blog brings you an exclusive interview with none other than Evil Lord Survurlode himself! Since the discovery of this wannabe architect of BZP's doom, I have been attempting to contact him for an interview, but the server kept eating my PMs for some mysterious reason... Anyways, he has agreed to give this interview via his evil Poolantir crystal globe, wired into a telephone system. Still trying to figure out how the pics come through the phone, but I guess it's a power of the Po
