An Entry Completely Dedicated To One Of The Members That Made The Member I Am Now

VAKAMATK

On 28th October 2007, an American 12 year old joined BZPower, he named his user "VakamaTK", he, like all new members was a noob, though less than I was :annoyed2: . He currently has 873 posts. (and by the way, I read VERY SINGLE ONE of his posts 3 times).

His interests list today is:
First off, I like LEGO and Bionicle. Why else would I be here?

I've played with Lego bricks all my life--I've even had Duplos as a little kid. I've got some Harry Potter sets, some Star Wars sets, and a few Technic non-Bionicle sets.

Then came Bionicle in 2001. I think I was between six and a half and six and three quarters when it came out. I got Kongu from McDonald's, and he's the best restaurant toy ever. Then, I got Tahu Mata for my birthday. Oddly, I turned seven that year, and that's the minimum age requirement. Later on that year, I got Pohatu and Onua Mata. Not a very collective year, but I can make Akamai.

2002. I got Tahnok, Gali Nuva, and Onua Nuva. Still not collective.
2003. Kohrok Kal, including the CD, Lerahk, and whatever the black Rahkshi is, although I got that in 2007.
2004. Vakama Metru, who is perhaps the most worn out set I have, his mask and other red parts have scratches and one of his feet are gone; Bordakh, which I got jammed once (don't ask).
2005. Rahaga Iruini, but I lost his Rhotuka spinner in a field. I should have realized it would blend in >_<; Rahaga Norik; and Toa Hagah Iruini. Sadly, I missed out on the Hordika.
2006.All non-playsets except Umbra.
2007. All non-playsets except Karzahni. I had the money, and the time, but I admit looking for it right before 2008 was a terrible idea.
2008. All Phantoka, all Av-Matoran save Photok and Kirop, all Winter Titans. Summer is something I haven't focused on.

Now, item number two: Video games
I enjoy games with Mario in them, because Mario rocks (not as much as Luigi!). I have Mario Kart DS, Super Mario 64 DS, and New Super Mario Bros.
I also play Pokemon games. I have Crystal, Sapphire, Emerald, Firered, Sapphire, Diamond, Ranger (though I lost it), MD Blue, and MD Time. And yes, I do have two Sapphires.
Other: I like Kirby games, but I only have Squeak Squad. And I've never played any Zelda games, so I might like those if I ever do.
Systems: Game Boy Advance (white), Game Boy Advance (blue), Game Boy Advance SP (blue), Nintendo DS Lite (black, or as they call it, onyx), and Gamecube (platinum). Which makes me a Nintendo user.

Now then, on to books. I've been a book maniac. I've been reading sinc preschool, so I've got a lot of books:
The Artemis Fowl series (my favorite series, I don't know which is my favorite out of those though)
Harry Potter series (Favorite: Deathly Hallows)

(To be finished later)

He has started 4 topics, and the first 2 have been closed.
His comics, which he started just DAYS after I joined, are here (OMG!! I copied the whole front post!):
NOTE TO NEWCOMERS: The poster is seriously in need of an update. It no longer represents the quality of these comics. All of the new characters that appeared after comic nine (and GS comic 2) are not in it. Also, don't judge the series by the older and worse quality comics.

Bananas sold seperately. As a rule of safety, do not bring Apple Jacks into this topic, or one of my characters will probably attack you. Read on to find out who!

These comics have won the Bohrok Award! Thanks to The Bohrok Lord!

And the Coleanuva Award, from Coleanuva:

Fan Comics
What? You want to make your own comics? Well, what better resource than The Comic Kit! Thanks to Me, Blade Titan974, and, of course, Dark709. Whoops, I forgot Bionicle and the Lego Group :P

Soon, there will be comic kits in other sprite types, so you can include stuff like the robots from comic 13's mini-series.

Lerman's Fan Comic #1, by Lerman the Cyber Toa!
A Hero100 Fan Comic, by Hero100!

I have permission from Dark709 to use the expressions from his comics. You may not use them unless he gives you permission, as he made them. I also have permission to use the Elite Toa, but you won't be seeing those here any time soon.;)

Banners and Avatars

You can PM fan-made banners to me, and I might put them here.

This one I made quickly; it's not too good.

Credits

Dark709 (and those who have made fan contributions) for the Chimoru Omega Kit [i also used a bit of Chimoru (found in the same topic)
Razor's stuff
--K--'s Star Wars Chimoru Omega Kit
Blade Titan974 for the studio background

Thanks to GSs for guest starring.


There will be more. I use MS Paint for the main parts of these comics, but I touch it up with GIMP. Hope you enjoy it!




GASP!! SO MUCH TO DO!!!

Anyway, soon after VakamaTK made these comics, he predicted the end of 2008!

Soon after that, was when I noticed his comics, and for VakamaTK, and viewers of his comics;
IT.
WAS.
BAD.
I was so annoying half his viewers went away, and after a long process of rather random events, he, Blade Titan974, and other members, managed to get me out of my "noob" stage.

Almost STRAIGHT after I completely dropped my noob stage, he made a new comedy, called The Legacy of the Mop, featuring Moppy, a Character from his sprite comics.

And then came the end of the Northern Hemisphere's summer holidays, so VakamaTK went back to a busy lifestyle, now being in High School, (or whatever you call it in the US) his comic making was a bit slower, and lost him some viewers, fortunately, the comics he was making now included his full GIMP skills, and this continued for a whicle, and that pretty much concludes this entry, thank you for bothering to read it if you did.

Thanks, but there are a couple mistakes, although anyone could make them.

 

First I joined on October 27, not 28. Although it undoubtedly was the 28th in your time zone. Next, I'm not in high school yet. That's next year. But since eighth grade can sometimes be in high school (depending on the school), that's a mistake anyone can make. I'm in junior high school now. But you were right about me being twelve, although that lasted for only a bit over a week. :P

 

The only thing you didn't seem to mention was the Comic Land Wiki. Oh yeah, and you made me remember that I haven't updated my interests in a while, and I need to add the Klakk, Jetrax T6, Onua, Gorast, Krika, and Takanuva to the list of sets I own.

 

But thanks a lot for that week-late birthday present! :)

 

I'd better hurry and comment before my internet spazzes out again. It delayed me for at least five minutes while I was trying to get here. Oh well, I'm out of town and I'm lucky my grandparents even have this connection.....
