Then I remembered nobody talks to me anyway. Oh well, let's see what everybody thinks of doing one. Also BrickCon! Y U NO GETTING HERE SOONER? D: Sorry, had to
Good news everyone! Besides reading this post in the Professor's voice, you now have the opportunity to read about Swert's busy life IN THE SAME VOICE! Nah, kidding. Anyway, so my boss left for vacation last week, leaving me with a huge list of work to do. I already whittled said list down to two items, but they're big ones. I tackle that mess tomorrow. On Wed. I will be visited by two (hopefully) BZPower members, Dorek and GSR! We'll most likely hang out at the studio, go nab some lunch the
Here's the second grand prize. Now, before you ask, because I know you will, no it's not filled. It's just the case. It's completely empty. But this is a wonderful chance for you to start your own and put it in an awesome case Also, as an added value, this case can (if requested by the winner) be signed by LEGO Certified Professional Dan Parker, and myself. We will only sign if the winner wants it. Regardless, -all- prizes get signed business cards of Dan Parker's company, signed by both
So, I was browsing the web the other day, and I saw a collection of logos based around the NFL teams with both German and Italian Football (Soccer) club logo concepts. I was impressed, but the two Seattle ones were kinda meh. So I made my own using a better shield. (The watermark's kinda to keep someone from stealing it and calling it their own outside of BZP. That'd irk me to no end if someone had.} It could use work, I'm not a fan of those stripes (I'd like to find a better solution)
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As
My ankle hurts D: But hey, Bricks Cascade. Woo and stuff. Also Inferna Firesword is an amazing person and don't afraid of anything. I can't wait to get my ring : D
The Empire Gives Back Contest I'm very much looking forward to giving away these sets. It's been a thrill to receive them, and it'll be even better when you win them. So go win them
This is what I've spent my entire time the past month and a half on. We do not have public photos of all the models just yet, but we do have one with a photo of a commemorative model that we are giving away 25 of on our social media page. The requirements involve having a photo of yourself in both the Space Needle observation deck and one of the Willis Tower skyboxes, plus 'liking' our page. (For more information on the model itself, contact me via my email, swertmastra (at) gmail.com) Th
So yeah, I've been busy. ... Very busy ._. On the plus side, I've had a lot of stuff happen. I kicked Sprint to the curb and signed with AT&T. In hindsight, I needed much more money than I had at the time to do this, but I'm confident it won't break me. Because of this, I ended up having to purchase a new phone. It was high time to replace it anyway. I decided to get a Nokia Lumia 1020, a wonderful choice I don't think I'll regret until probably halfway through the contract when the 1030 l
He appeared in a Prius. It was a very tense moment as this man drove up to my house.
Our eyes met. I knew this man was a force to be reckoned with. He motioned me to the car. I entered, cautious not to alert this man to any sudden weaknesses I may possess.
We took a journey across my homeland. It was a fierce battle. We went to my workplace. He was impressed with my many talents there. I took on a wild Subway sub sandwich. It was a 6 inch. Italian Herb & Cheese. Roast Beef and Cheddar.
So, it's still dead before we go further. BUT! I talked with someone who owns an electronics repair shop in the same building I work in, and basically he'll check it out for free. I know it's a dead CPU, but let's let an "expert" tell me that. Meanwhile, I'm still on the desktop (SWERT01) and my phone still works (SWERT05), and if all else fails I can go snag back my Zune (SWERT03). (If you're wondering, laptop was SWERT02, and SWERT04 is an internal hard drive in my SWERT01 computer. Thunderb
With blood and rage of crimson red... This power is mine, this is my light... In blackest day, in brightest night... In brightest day, in blackest night... In fearful day, in raging night... Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur... For hearts long lost and full of fright... The Blackest Night falls from the skies... ... [insert White Lantern oath here]... Yeah, you get the idea. So, I finally -FINALLY- obtained the last of the Lantern Corps rings and power batteries. There are nine in total. I now pr
It has been about 10 years since I last had semi-permeant access to a decent video editing software. I cannot believe how much I missed doing videos until I opened the BS01 YT channel. So now that I have this power, I promise not to abuse it. Much. ... I should make that BS01 trailer I've always wanted TTV Podcast to make for me : O
Want awesome custom bronze stuff? Talk to Inferna Firesword for pricing and ideas. She's -amazing- as a metalsmith. : D [/Thar, I've plugged you IF, now I can wear my ring without guilt 8D]
So I have to work very quickly tomorrow. Starting first thing in the morning, I need to do 3 Paradisa based LEGO sets for a birthday party tomorrow (LEGO Friends is the main theme, we're padding it up with stuff). Oh, and I just know I have only one hour to do it in. Keeping in mind it took me about 2 hours to work on one model already in something my boss said would take him "30 minutes." Well that's fine, I'll have instructions and I can be flexible on the actual design, but for the most
So I have everything set up LEGO-wise for BCascade. I have a grand total of 10 boxes to take: 5 for the main island 1 for the baseplate that goes around it (I have to double-check them) 1 for the volcano crater top (IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER, TRUST ME) 1 for the Superhero Megafigs (Green Lantern and Captain America) 1 for the Bionicle pens and random brick I'm bringing. 1 for the Nuva Cube (Of course I'm bringing that :3) Basically that's 10 boxes. Plenty of boxes XD I'm thinking I'll set up the
Huh, I haven't posted in like a month? Welp, time to lump all my updates into one entry, as I am wont to do. So, where do I start? My new year's eve was immediately turned into a downer when my mom went to the hospital. She stayed there for a good 2 weeks (she's back home, and healthier than she's felt "since 1998"). From that day til pretty much last week I've been working my mask off in project after project. While this basically means it ate up all of my time I wanted to wisely spend on BS0
So, I didn't go to ECCC yesterday, but I did get the chance to go today. Didn't buy much, but what I did buy is truly amazing. I also got to do something amazing. (Warning, large images.) Basically, I got to chat with Stuart Sayger again, along with buying a Green Lantern print that he signed, then took a photo with him, and wore the Tower of Plimps on my brick badge for a brief time before packing it away. Today was a good day.
So yeah, finally got poked enough times to go make skins for the two sites. BS01's is the second winner from that old contest, and was made by ~MI~. The HS01 skin is one I had kicking around to begin with, and it was decided it was time to make it happen. Thoughts, everyone? 8D
