An Observation Of Bionicle And The Wonderful World Of Broken Scanners

So the other day during my raids on the attic to unload as much Christmas stuff as possible, I bumped into the giant tub of Bionicles that I had exiled up there well over half a year ago. I went on a little Nostalgia Trip and came to an interesting conclusion.

 

The oldest Bionicle figures that the Nostalgia Nazis sob about all the time are about as possible as a rusted 2 ton freezer door. Kopaka can swing his hips around like a sissy-man and flail his sword arm around like a schizophrenic with a billy club, but that's about it. The Bohrok aren't much better, either. Poor guy can't even grab his local newspaper with the arms width he got. Then again knowing a Bohrok he'd probably just stomp all over the paper too so I guess that's forgivable.

 

Point is I forget why the heck I used to complain these guys were better. But I know why they were better- they were because they were the earliest ones we first grew up with. And the retard-flail function never does get old.

 

Now if only someone could explain to me why Kopaka, Lewa and Tahu have weird black growths on their chest.

In other news, for ages now my scanner has been refusing to cooperate with the computer, leaving both my DA and Bzp barren. But that may be close to remedy as my good friend gave me a laptop for free.

 

He happened to give it to me for free because one of his not-as-good friends with the IQ of a lukewarm slab of beef punched said laptop in the monitor when it failed to immediately load The Movies and now the screen looks like the by-product of a starving artist who happened to have an empty canvas during a fit of insanity.

 

However, this paired greatly with my upstairs computer which has had a bad case of AIDS for months now. I unhooked the old ###### computer and plugged the monitor up to the laptop and BOOM. Fully functioning computer. With any luck the scanner will work well with it and I can terrorize mankind again with sloppy half-finished sketches of ugly things.

... your art's not ugly :(

 

It is when I want it to XP Although I must admit lately I've adopted a style of combining both beauty and horror into the same image. *will rant on about Aion Nocturnus later*

Ahaha, touche, touche. But Aion Nocturnus is the first time I tried to portray it as vividly as possible. I wanted it to literally be extreme contrasts.

I'd love to, but I am paranoid when it comes to my favorite ideas << >> This is because of the one time some dude stole my Transformers RPG series and posted it on like, 3 other sites. So maybe through PM. Maybe~

Not possible at all?

Au contraire!

Yeh, pretty much. People who rant and rave about "the good ol' days" tend to be people who were easily impressed youngsters back in that time. I know it. I was there. I was easily impressed.

 

Though admittedly, the flaily action is awesome, and it's the one thing that I miss.

 

Anyway, good luck with the scanner and the terror spreading and all that.

Thank you! I'll give you a 20 second head start to run once it is running 78D
