Weekly Update - 1/22

Intro

I could be playing Dragon Age: Origins right now, but instead I'm typing this for you guys. The things I do for this site!

 

Updates

For those of you with deep pockets, you can go check out eBay and place your bid on a solid gold Hau from 2001. It's a truly amazing piece of work if you can afford it. I wish I could.

 

A new podcast went up on BionicleStory.com, Sahmad's Tale. It's good to see some new content covering some different aspects of the storyline.

 

After the reveal in ToyFare magazine of Hero Factory, LEGO released a teaser trailer for the toy line. It's a different look at the new sets, and has a lot of people talking about it. We'll be learning more soon I suspect.

 

Finally, LewaLew reviewed the last Bionicle set of 2010, Piraka Nektann. It's the last Bionicle set for the foreseeable future, which is a sad thing. We haven't eliminated the idea to review non-Bionicle sets, so we'll have to see where that goes.

 

Last week I mentioned staff changes. We're waiting on one person before we can announce anything. Stay tuned!

 

Mailbag

What is your reaction to Hero Factory?

 

(and did you know that your character appears in an amazing comedy about the Stars where you are trying to get vengeance on them for destroying Hapori Tohu?)

I'm waiting until ToyFair to make any kind of judgment on the sets. But the series seems interesting.

 

I was not aware. I hope I'm well-represented.

 

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

That's all for this week. Comments and feedback are always welcome. Have a great weekend!

Am I that one person? B)

 

No?

 

Aaawww... :(

 

Also, glad to see I'm not the only one who isn't being so hasty to judge the Hero Factory sets either.

Urm, just throwing this out there, but I don't think BZP has reviewed Baranus yet...

As I've said before, 2009 is over, so we don't plan on reviewing it. It's the same thing as we've done in the past.

You gotta play the heck out of that game this weekend so you can finish this up before Mass Effect 2!

 

And now look at what you've done. I've popped it in my 360 and now I'm playing it. And since I'm not an admin, I don't have to sit around here committed to this site at all times! :P

I've been hearing good things about Dragon Age: Origins, but, I'm out of the money as I invested my cash into Mass Effect 2, a game I'm rather excited for. :P

Butbutbut we need a complete collection of Bionicle set reviews. :o

 

That said, the idea of reviewing non-Bionicle sets in the future is a good one. It'd be nice if this wasn't just limited to Hero Factory though - reviews of proper System sets would be awesome.

 

The way I see it, if HF discussion takes place in LGD, that means more visitors to LGD after Bionicle ends, which leads people to start discussing other Lego themes as well, leading to System sets gaining popularity among BZP members, leading to BZP covering and reviewing all Lego themes. That'd be cool. But perhaps won't happen.

Now wouldn't that be awesome?!?!

Six, are you on that Dragon Age site which I can't mention? You know, the one that records exactly what you've been doing in game to the extent a stalker would be interested in. The official one. :P

 

Do what I'm doing and play ME, DA:O and BioShock subcutaneously over the next month. B)

I unfortunately don't have enough time to play all three at once. I hope to finish Dragon Age before Mass Effect 2 arrives. Then I'll keep playing that until I beat it. If there's time between then and when Bioshock 2 comes out, I might go back and try to get the last couple achievements in ME1.

I noticed you were missing one or two. :P

 

Apparently you get an extra skill or something for using a level 60 character in the transfer, among the other stuff...

How late have you been up playing that game? Because I was up playing CoD with family last weekend until 1:00Am... Then seeing you were still on. :P

 

Oh, and what is Dragon Age: Origins about anyway?

Saturday night I was up until about 3:30 AM playing - it's that good.

 

It's about saving the world from evil and finding your true calling or something like that.

Is there a demo for it?

Nope, you have to take my word on its awesomeness.
