I went to bed as POBZPC and woke up as Premier Forum Assistant... which means I am staff now... which means you may feel free to bash me now. But only here. In this blog. Elsewhere, I ask you to be nice and to ask me for advice if you need it.
C'mon, do some NtM-bashing - seize the opportunity while it presents itself.
Before I say anything: What made me write this is the Nocturn's island confusion in the OGD, and I felt it was my obligation as a Greg Team member, because my colleagues that do the Farshtey Feed will be among the ones suffering from the confusion created by people who don't know how to ask Greg a question properly. Don't feel offended by this blog entry, but regard it as a piece of good advice.
Okay, let's get started. These are things to consider when writing to our fellow member and BIONIC
Seriously, guys, what's up with this year? Almost all of my favourite shows/franchises have been cancelled or otherwise ended in 2010.
- BIONICLE cancelled (set-wise)
- Heroes cancelled
- 24 ended
- LOST ended
- Caprica cancelled
- Stargate Universe cancelled
What the heck is going on?
GN 8 and 9 arrived today.
I stick to what I said before: Sayger sucks. But Zanier is greatness impersonated - the artwork of The Exile's Tale is really epic. Here's hoping we will get so see GN10 and he'll still do it.
The BIONICLE Story Squad (BSS) may soon do a topic in S&T where we can announce all our rejected canon submissions, but since the BSS wants you to know about all our decisions, I took the liberty to create this blog entry. So far, you have only seen topics about what has made it past us - here is what has been declined by us or Greg, along with our reasons why.
"Kanohi Amana" - Bioni-Cool Jack
Bioni-Cool Jack suggested to name the Mask of Elemental Energy "Kanohi Amana", based on some
The BIONICLE Story Squad recently asked members to name their six favourite elements for the new Toa team Greg will introduce in an upcoming serial on BIONICLEStory.com. These are the results - however, note that Greg Farshtey is in no way forced to stick slavishly to these results, but is willing to respect and consider them.
Elements and VotesLightning - 468 Psionics - 453 Gravity - 444 Plasma - 444 Iron - 440 Plant Life/The Green - 425 Sonics - 342 Magnetism - 310 Thanks to all who voted.
Daleks are supreme! All hail the Dalek Emperor!
EDIT: The Dalek Emperor would like to know why there are only "Delete" buttons in the blogs! Cybermen are inferior! The Emperor requests "Exterminate" buttons!
... last week. Now Journey's End has been exterminated, too. But it was a nice ending extermination. BIONICLE is supreme. All hail the BIONICLE emperor... ^^ You did a great job, Greg.
Maybe some of it know the dilemma--
One of your best friends celebrates her birthday and you've got the perfect gift for her, however you have nothing to wrap it in nicely... this problem is giving me headache.
Let's hope I'll find something in the next few hours or it'll grow from being a problem to being... to being... um... a big problem? A VERY big problem?
I just received my Cambridge CAE marks (Certificate in Advanced English). The overall mark is A, and I got 85% correct. This is how I did in the various parts of the examination:
I was surprised about the listening part, though - I would have thought my writing was worst (not because of my style, no, but because of the contents - I almost missed the subject I was supposed to write about).

I am just writing this to congratulate Dorek. Why? Because of "Decadence" - but not primarily because it won the Core War contest, but because it has been very easy to translate. The writing style was very good compared to some previous fan-created canon stories I translated for The Chronicler. I hope the winners of upcoming story contests will be as well-written as this one.

Today I saw this bag full of potato chips in my local store... it read:
"Salt & Vinegar - English Style"
Well, I am not English, and if you ask me why I bought it, I have to stay true to my motto: "Can't answer it."
But: They taste SO GOOD! You may excuse me now, I have to ingest the rest of this delicious meal.
Just some things you might have missed--
1) The Chronicler won't do any contests anymore in 2011. Our last contest will be "Lesovikk's Hiatus", a joint venture with the KanohiJournal.
2) My interest in BIONICLE is fading. I am still eager for each new chapter on BIONICLEStory.com and I still read the OGD, but I feel less excited about BZP and the saga as a whole... I just feel it is dying.
3) Since we still have (stress on "still", as I expect it to be completely gone soon, since the time s
Okay, guess what just happened
One of my best friends has got birthday today and I'm invited to her party tomorrow. Last week I already bought what I thought to be the perfect gift - the book "Coraline" by Neil Gaiman, her favourite author. Now she just told me via Skype that she got the very same book today... honestly, I could kill myself right now >.<
What's shiny is Firefly, which I finally came around to watch in its glorious, short-lived entirety.
What's not shiny is only two BIONICLE serial updates since November 2010, with the last one occuring exactly 5 weeks ago... hopefully, there'll be one this week.
