In 2003, I met a member on BZPower who helped me gather bearings and kept me semi-sane on here. That member is Janus. After 9 long years, I finally met him IRL. And yes, he is AWESOME. Also DV's not too bad, once you get to know him. No that's a lie, I didn't really get to know him. But I'm sure if I did, he'd be not too bad (As for the other staff I met: You guys are pretty cool too. I loved this event, and though it was rocky at first we ended it on a better note.) Now let's go en
Figured I had nothing better to do, so I popped the DVD in and watched it. Now I'm recaught up with the story so far, so I can go watch TDKR next week. Works for me.
Just one statement, really:
WHY MUST I WAIT A WHOLE MONTH FOR THIS?!
That's really it.
I love the graphics upgrade, the change over with both the lightsaber change, and the gameplay mechanic for vehicle fights. I -love- the fact we can now land them and exit our ship and fight droids. I dunno about what I think will be a real-time strategy mode, but hey, it can't be all too bad right?
Force powers are MUCH better. I love the fact it works like the LEGO Harry Potter Wingadium Leviosa
This is what I spent 4 weeks working on. Four. long. weeks. And now it's on display at Emerald City ComicCon. It is only a shame it's up for 3 days and then packed away again. But with luck it'll get enough exposure.
Gone too soon ;_; Fortunately I already bought an SATA 2.5" to USB 2.0 hard drive enclosement, so nothing will be lost. Still very sad ;_; But at least I have you, desktop phone and xbox *huggles all*
So as you all no doubt heard by now, Toonami's coming back onto Adult Swim. That's pretty nifty. Now, as many of you probably know about me... I'm old. Like 24. So if you couldn't tell from me saying "I'm 24," let me be perfectly clear how much of Toonami I remember. I remember when it first launched. I literally watched the very first day it was on. It was fascinating, it was different, it was a great idea. They brought Anime to a unified block of programming every afternoon, and once a w
So I had a brief discussion with my boss and others in the studio, and we discussed in detail the Bionicle MOCs area in conventions such as BrickCon. So a good question came up, is the theme of Bionicle at a convention supposed to be about the theme of Bionicle, or the parts that come with it? So I ask the community, do you consider Bionicle theme at conventions (BrickCon, BrickFair, etc.) to be about the theme of Bionicle, or the parts used? Would using Hero Factory parts be considered taboo
So, I've not had much time to look at our stock of parts in the shop for it, since we've been preparing for various commissioned projects at the shop. However, I did get to sit down and look at a few key parts: I found our stock of 32x32 blue baseplate, that'll be useful for the outer edge. Went to look at the Bionicle Gold masks for statues, found the Kaukau we pulled is actually the misprint. Whoops. I'm limited to construction-grade brick and plate, but tile and slope is fair game if we
So, my boss (Dan Parker, if you're new to my blog) asks a valid question, one I feel we should address to you all. The island is now looking to be 10 feet (120 inches, 12 32x32 baseplates) in length, from Po-Wahi to Le-Wahi and all its surrounding islands. We're anticipating the width will be 5 feet (60 inches, 6 baseplates) or so, and he was going to design little block figure Toa and Matoran, averaging about 2 inches for Toa, one inch for Matoran. A few friends have suggested I'm exaggeratin
Oho man, we're not even close to being done, but I'm excited for this leg of the stretch. With two days to go, we need a bit of a miracle at this point to keep us going I think on Sunday, if we don't end up working on the island, I'm going to post a random set of photos we took with my camera that shows behind-the-scenes and more in-detail photos of some of the construction methods used. Also, I should post a few of our easter eggs and see if you can tell what they are. We have at least two
So, Xccj posted a few photos, so now it's time I post the BTS pics 8D Poor Jaller. Legoitis; Symptoms include redness, dimples resembling a LEGO studded baseplate pattern, and loss of feeling. Treatments include not leaning on LEGO baseplates, and taking a quick break while leaning on another part of the table not covered by LEGO baseplates. A very well designed outline of our decided-upon design for Papa Nihu Reef. Thar be easter eggs here 8D Xccj spent part of the second day on expandi
So Xccj visited the studio last Thursday. He has an okay write-up on his blog about it. During his visit, we looked over the proposed space where we'll be building, and he and I got Dan sort of up to speed on it, where we'll have time to sit down and plan out how we intend to build all of it. For the most part, we'll have everybody submit models and (if possible) detailed instructions on more complex parts so we can easily replicate it between both of us. That will take out the footwork of w
And we're off to a slow start, as usual. I have to build the volcano (won't take long) and then we build Mt. Ihu, then decorate 47 more baseplates with plates and bricks. In other words, we've got a lot of work ahead of us x_x But hey, MATA NUI : D
I already have the Mangai Volcano built. One or two little things to modify it, and it's perfectly ready to go. I also had a "business" meeting with Dan about it. Stay tuned for updates on that front, and for you Pacific Northwestern members to gain a chance to participate (if you can)! Likewise, I'm going to be plugging this on a certain media site (of the social kind) via the company's page. That way I'm promised to get builders and/or people involved. And finally, most importantly, I al
Like all of Washington state, I too was hit with the snow "dump" as it were. And like most of Western Washington, I'm stuck with Puget Sound Energy with no way to change. And like most of the PSE customers, my power's out at home. Unlike them? I can go to work in a building UNDER A DIFFERENT POWER UTILITY, and charge my laptop (and use the internet). So yeah, no work on BS01 until next week at the earliest.
So yeah, not getting political at all here, just wanted to cash in on the blog titles while I can. Anyway, long week at work already, and I work 2 more days. ... Who's waiting for LEGO Lord of the Rings? (Comes out on Nov. 13th, it was pushed back) ... Why do I ask? Cause I'm waiting for AC3 on Tuesday 8D (I bought both anyway) .... AAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT DO TIL THEN?! D:
So I just did a major test on my phone beginning yesterday. Since Sat. morning, approx. 10:00-11:00 AM, it had been off the charger. It lasted 30 hours off the charger with very minimal usage over the weekend. I made about 9 phone calls on it, averaging about 5 minutes each call. I also ran the Skype app for about 20 minutes. In other words? I love this phone. It lasted long enough in my opinion that it'll be a great addition to my arsenal of devices. To my buddies at BrickCon and Bricks C
