BZPower is the only place on the Internet where I feel as if I can truly state what I feel without fear of someone seeing half a sentence and assuming something terrible about what I'm trying to communicate. I take a middle-of-the-road approach and try to see the good in people, and I feel as if BZPower is the only site that won't blow up in my face when it comes to moderate viewpoints. - - - - - Well, the latest firestorm of drama hit BZP earlier - this time on representation in media. It'

Perhaps I've always been wrong. I've always been one to really notice when other people don't use proper grammar. I blame my mother for this. To us both, seeing something grammatically incorrect is like hearing fingernails being dragged across a blackboard. Yet over the years we've both been put into a great many positions where this has caused problems. It mortifies me when I look back at tracts of writing and find errors, and I'm one to extensively rewrite and proofread everything I write
Every three to five years, on average, the incumbent Doctor regenerates, and because the BBC doesn't want to keep things a surprise until the actual regeneration episodes—which seem to occur exclusively on Christmases, for some heretofore unacknowledged reason—we, as fans, are left with knowing who's next in line without the benefit of seeing their Doctor's performance in an actual episode. I became a fan of the show during the Tenth Doctor's run, and I remember the absolute uproar that accomp
Shouldn't at least part of the canon be left to speculation and the talents of writers and MOCists?
I mean, with all due respect to Greg, there comes a point where there are just too many elements. If we have not passed that point yet, we're dang close to doing it.
Don't get me wrong, I like different elements and the diversity that they bring to the story. But the proposed addition of adding yet another one - another one, mind you, that's not tangible. I remember Greg once saying that an
As many of you know, my comedy The Adventures of Sumiki's Dad concluded after eight thrilling chapters, and work has begun on the second installment in the series. The Adventures of Sumiki's Dad 2: Vakama Eats Spam is coming soon to the Comedies forum. So what better way to celebrate than a contest? New characters will complete Team Farm Animals in an exciting romp through the BIONICLE Universe. One of these new characters will be the winner of this contest. Your job: Post, in this entry, yo
I inevitably end up seeing people saying something along the lines of "I'm surprised Sumiki wasn't promoted".
And while I'm glad people think so, I don't know why. So inform me.

Okay, I've decided to start a small custom emoticon shop. It's kind of a niche market type of deal, you specify your country, and I put it into a type of thing. Completed emoticons are posted.
To order, fill in this small form:

That's it!

As one of the final steps in my quest for reorganization and restructuring of this blog, I have reformed the old "Bring Back Teal Club" into a new club: The Unused Colors Society. The mission of the UCS is to promote the use of underutilized and/or discontinued LEGO colors, such as teal, old purple, or metallic blue. All of the 130 members of the old BBTC are automatically members of the UCS - and anyone who wishes to join can do so in this entry!
This is a fan club in honor the most Glorious Admin, IPB Admin. There is not much here at the moment, but ... hey, it's the IPB Admin fan club. You can join up if you want. (You should.)

This tablescrap has a bit of a backstory. In 2007, I created a series of terrible noobish Doctor Who-based stopmotion films. To film these, I built the TARDIS exterior and interior. The exterior, which I still have around someplace, is terrible. But the interior, which accrued dust over the years, was sort of okay. This week, I rebuilt the portions of it that had fallen into disarray, mostly by patching up places where I'd cannibalized pieces. | | | | |
They provide a great service but recently they seem to be down more often than they're up. From now on, I think I'll do what I did with the images in the content blocks and upload elsewhere.
I rescind my earlier statements about how awful the idea seemed. It looks ... pretty good? Only so much can be discerned from the trailer, but the animation style looks pretty cool. Also, quite a cast of actors they've got there.
SO THIS IS NICK BLUETOOTH. DEFENDER OF THE OUTER DIMENSION AND THE BEST CHARACTER FROM LEGO'S BEST LINE, GALIDOR: AND THIS IS MY DAD: AND THEN I REALIZED WHAT THEY COULD BE. NAY, WHAT THEY WERE. BY THE POWER OF MY LIMITED IMAGE MANIPULATION SKILLS COMES THE REBOOT OF GALIDOR: GALIDAD:
Another Tuesday, another tablescrap. This week we have a Toa form of Vultraz - one side of him is sort of disintegrating. Or transforming. Or something. | (in before "it sucks")
