Have I posted about my thoughts on the 4th and 5th series of collectible minifigures? (Well, I know I have to some friends, but in this blog?) Oh well, with the Toy Fair picts out, then I guess it's list time!
Series 4 Musketeer: SO WANT! I must have four of these. Ice Skater: New female hair. Will get Hockey Player: I expect he'll be a popular one. Might grab him Surfer girl: I need female figs, and she also comes with a good hair piece Geisha: see above Hazmat Guy: Also a predicted po
So my next animation assignment will require me to create a "How To" animation. Basically it has to be instructions / tips for certain situations, like how to change a tire or fix a leaky faucet.
My idea will be "How To Survive A Raptor Attack."
Some of my ideas include:
Fortify windows Be aware that raptors can open doors Know raptors are faster than you, so run at the right angle to maximize survival time Get the raptors eaten by T-rexes (coming soon, how to survive a T-rex attack) Do
I will need to make up for creating those horrible trophies from last year. They were awful when compared to the others, especially the two that I rushed to create at the last minute. I would put a lot more effort into them next time and really make them stand out... if I attend, that is.
Also, I got Nex. Maybe I'll write up a proper review for him later. But here's the basics; he's the first "buildable figure" to have bright green pieces since Lerahk in 03.
Okay, I don't know how many others have noticed this, but it's been driving me crazy all month.
The Calendar content block in my blog isn't working!
Well, not correctly, anyway.
According to it, I've posted every day in January... even the days that have yet to occur.
I'm not 100% sure on this, but instead of marking what days I post on, I think it highlighted another day for each entry I've posted. (And I did my big blog story which was about 27 entries itself)
Now, I'll ha
Okay, I know Lego made a couple of sets a while back when they had the deal with Nickelodeon. The sets were okay, and I really didn't get into the series until later. And yes, the odds of what I propose happening are slim to none, but bear with me here.
Lego Avatar the Last Airbender Video Game
You see, like SW characters used the force to manipulate bricks, the Avatar characters would use their elemental bending to move bricks. They would be colored differently for each element (yellow
Go read the review. It's on the front page after all!
I'm not too thrilled about how some of the pictures turned out, but this one was good. Of course I had to add the extra trans clear beam to get a good jumping look in.
But yeah, the set was great. You should buy it. NOW.
So I have come to a decision. I'm gonna buy some Adobe software (with Flash stuff) that will undoubtedly help me out in a web design career. Problem is, it's expensive. Like $400. Which is about half my savings at the moment.
It's also what I would expect to pay for a plane ticket to BrickFair.
So when I buy this software, I'm gonna be giving up on the idea of attending BrickFair this year. The issue is purely financial. But I won't have a job until May (hopefully) and I really don't
... and then I decided that it's a little too much for me. And I really don't have the free time for something like that.
I got some stuff done this weekend, like homework and such. Didn't get to work on any of my personal projects... which is lame, but whatever.
And I'm gonna have a lot to complain about professor-wise this semester.
And I'm still debating on whether to purchase some Adobe software. I don't need it, but gosh darn it, it would be useful, and realistically, I'd be g
Just saw it this afternoon. Yay for matinees.
3D was okay. There were some places where it was really good, and I was more impressed with it than I have been at other movies. (Also, I've watched most 3D movies in the same theater, so I wonder if that's part of my problem.) But I think it would've been enjoyable even without the 3D.
(Speaking of 3D, the previews were really good in it, but I fear that the movies will be mediocre anyway. Oh well)
Overall, it was a fun movie. Like ca
Was very good. Such a fun show.
It's not a con if you're with the FBI; it's a sting.
And besides being a great one episode think, it really moved the overall plot somewhere... somewhere cool. Oh, and Mozie didn't die, which is good since he's one of my favorites on the show.
So I just compiled a list of all the stories I've ever written. Well, maybe not all of them, but the ones I can remember or find evidence of. And I'm not counting any school essays or story ideas that I've had but haven't started on. So just for fun I'll post some stats.
I have 81 stories on this list. 45 of these are Bionicle stories (I've written a lot more short stories and comedies than I thought... of course, nobody ever read most of them, but I digress) I lost about 25 of these storie
In case you didn't know, I wrote up a big Choose Your Own Adventure style BZP-Koro story in my blog the other day. If you haven't done so, read it.
... But if you have read it, and were sad that you weren't in it, now's the time to change that.
I have been approached by a mysterious member (who's name is alphabetically deficient) who is interested in creating a second Choose Your Own Adventure story, bigger and better than the first. But we can't write a proper story without any charac
So I'm taking this introductory art course. I said it was because I'm interested in art but never really got around to learning how to do it right. (Or apparently, appreciate it, see Art Museum blog entry) Although, really, it's a requirement for another class I'm hoping to take next semester... so yeah.
I also mentioned that I enjoy collecting Lego bricks (note, I said "collecting", not "playing with" ) So our first assignment is to bring in some line drawing or something. Anybody have
Presenting... Have you ever seen those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books? Instead of being a linear read, each chapter ends by giving giving you options. Thus, instead of one storyline, you have a book that can take you on a dozen different journeys. That's what this story is supposed to be. You start off in the same place, but at the end of each chapter, you get to choose which path you'll take, and then see where the story leads you. There are over a dozen different endings, and a full
