So I've started, according to my estimation, four epics in my time on BZP. The first was this atrocious monstrosity of a story that lasted all of about three chapters and was fortunately deleted. The second was an actual attempt at a legitimate story that I started when I hit 10,000 posts. It was called Annus Mirabilis, and though the concept was (and still is, I think) quite interesting, I didn't have enough of a story planned out to make it work. The third attempt was a gritty Hero Factory reb

So! I've not been active in the blogs for a while. Things are good with life and such, but they've been busy. Fortunately I've been able to keep up with BZP still, and BrickFair VA 2016 beckons, as BrickFairs always do. In any event, here's a new epic that this time I'll definitely finish. No sarcasm. I have chapters all planned out and I just want to complete an epic instead of just leaving them half-baked and forgetting about them.
Well, co-host; Pablo and I have launched Comics Contest #3: Crossover in our corner of the forum. The goal of the contest is to combine sprite and hand-drawn elements in the same comic. If you think you have what it takes, head on over to Comics!
The winner of Blogarithm Contest #10 is ... Paleo! Brickeens came in second, while xccj and The Puppeteer tied for third. Now, I'm going to have to be up-front about the prize. Originally, I had a brick engraved with "Dreams About Farm Animals." This, as you may remember, was a prize in Blogarithm Contest #7, which Paleo won. So, to keep with the promise of an engraved brick, I'll be in contact with Paleo about a slightly different prize. Overall, it was an excellent turnout—the last BBC

So let's talk about MOCing. If you've got a few pieces lying around, chances are that you've built something uniquely your own. Regardless of the size of your collection, MOCing is the inevitable result of imagination and ABS plastic. It's why the BBC forum has held so many contests in BZPower's storied history. Your mission: build something that uses twenty pieces or fewer. (Twenty-one is right out.) With such a limitation, the contest puts a premium on part usage and imagination. System, CCB

BrickFair is coming up soon, and this year we're leaving early in order to go out to the Outer Banks and the Delmarva Peninsula. As per our usual trip routine, our job in the days before departure is to eat every perishable item in the house. So today, I looked and saw that we had a few spaghetti noodles as well as the ingredients for a quick jalapeño cream sauce. The meal came together quickly, but after tasting it, something was missing. After a few bites, I realized that it was cheese, as I
