Weekly Update - 5/22

Intro

If you're reading this, it means my mission has failed and you must carry on in my stead... Just kidding! It's really our Weekly Update!

 

Updates

So, in the past week we had some cool coverage of the opening of a new LEGO Store, courtesy of ferrariguy90. One of the story serials received an update. We also discovered some Summer 2009 set descriptions thanks to Gatanui.

 

Word on the street is that the Summer sets from other LEGO lines have been showing up in stores, so it's only a matter of time before the Glatorian Legends find their way to your grubby little hands.

 

Speaking of grubby hands, I sorted through my bag of prototype parts the other day, and everyone seems to want some of those. I can't understand why though, I mean they're just normal pieces in crazy color combinations that never should have seen the light of day. What's the big deal?

 

Oh yeah, and that contest I hinted at last week? Yeah, that was our Fan Created Games Game Design Contest. Go get coding, you only have until mid-July! Seriously though, we've been planning this contest for what seems like forever and it's good to finally let you guys take a stab at it. Should I give away some Prototype parts as prizes? ;)

 

The FCG Contest isn't the only to watch for though, June is going to be jam-packed. I don't want to reveal our hand yet, but logic dictates that there will at least be an RPG Contest to look forward to.

 

Also, BrickFair gets even closer! We're trying to find a way to help members and staff organize things like carpooling and sharing hotel rooms. Anyone have any good ideas on how we should do it?

 

Speaking of LEGO events, I stopped posting BrickFest pictures. There seemed to be less and less interest (I mean really, it was a few months ago already). If people tell me otherwise I might post the rest though.

 

I think that's more or less all for now!

 

Mailbag

Do you have any favorite board games?

I do enjoy a good game of Star Wars Monopoly every now and then.

 

1. Why do you and the other admins normally log in anonymously?

2. Who is that in your avatar, if you don't mind me asking?

3. Is there any particular time that you usually log in to deal with reports?

1. To avoid being flooded with PMs whenever we're online (and it does happen, believe me).

2. That is a picture of me, as drawn by Schizo Kaita and colored by me. Apparently I'm a Sith Lord.

3. When I get to them.

 

Want to see your questions answered? PM them to me and put 'Mailbag' in the subject line. I'll pick the few I like the best and answer them in the next update.

 

Conclusion

Phew! That was one of the bigger updates I've done recently, and my third blog entry this week! It's amazing what some time off will do for you. Anyway, questions and comments are always welcome, have a great weekend all!

I'm really surprised at how fast this year is going. It's almost summer! :O

And I didn't know we had a complaint depatment! :OO

Perhaps just letting the staff/members involved with the carpooling and hotel room sharing to pick the people they'd feel most comfortable with? Just my stab at some sort of solution, but I'm pretty excited for BrickFair to come ^^

 

The only issue for me is that I'd get to look forward to classes right after ><

 

Part of me wishes it was in July =P

I was thinking more for where would be the best place to put the information. In a topic? In a blog entry? Some people might not want to advertise such information.

Ah, if some of the people involved don't want it posted to the general public, then there's always emails. They'd probably take far longer, but would stray from showing information some people don't want everyone to have access to.

 

That's the best solution I currently have.

June? June?! I'll be gone for half the month! :wacko:

 

Erm, B6, would it be at all possible for you guys to postpone events until I get back? :rolleyes:

 

Jk! :P

 

I'm looking forward to it all none-the-less. :)

June....Hopefully that means more library contests. Honestly, the last SS contest was MONTHS ago! <_<

 

In case you can't tell, that's about the only thing I'm good at. =P

 

And yes, I say give away some prototype parts as prizes for the FCG contest. =P

Carpool me! :P[/kidding]

 

Seriously speaking though, this sound like a pretty nice idea as it would both save money and is also environmental considering it will have less BZPers coming in single car by themselves, which would produce more Carbon monoxide into the atmosphere due to more fuel being used up by the cars. Although you all are probably doing it just for economy reasons as you could have the people, you are carpooling, chip in to pay for gas for the car, etc.

 

But anyway, I hope you all have fun, when BrickFair comes rolling in. Once again, I won't be going, but I guess its for the best really as I would sort of feel out of place there most likely.

Well, for BrickFest pix, you could make a personal "Black Six" group on Flickr and upload them there, 200 at a time. They won't be seen in your photostream but will be seen in that group.

I always thought it looked more like Doctor Doom than a Sith Lord, personally :P .

Yes, please.

 

Oh, and for the rest of you BZPers reading this: we in Fan Created Games are all busting our fingertips to create these games, so you'd better play these games for once (when they're released). :P

Heh, I wouldnt mind some prototype parts as well. Then again, who would be nuts enough to part with something like those?

 

Im with ya on that last comment as well, hopefully the members will have enough sense and good taste to come and check out to see what everyone is coding about. I hope this contest will be big enough so we can do one again in the future. Then again, if there were another, we would have more people who know how to use GMK or the RPG maker by then.
