I've been saying it for years, the only way I would get sick is if it had to drag me into a bed and find a way to keep me there. Well played, stomach bug. Making me so dizzy I can't even stand is indeed one way to keep me here. But by midnight tonight I will defeat you. I must.
Alright folks, I'll be very honest. I have no deep desire to do an april fools' prank this year for BS01.
So yeah, let's hope BZPower entertains everyone for us. I'm sorry, but I'm not exactly in the mood this year.
So, I've had ups and downs the past couple of days, especially concerning work. I'm almost out of the woods, but I've got a lot of work ahead of me there. I hope to have decent photos to show off what hard work I've been doing there. Meantime, as some of my friends know, I bought a new laptop. My HP died late 2012, like July or August or so, and it left me with no method of creativity throughout the rest of 2012 in a work capacity at work. The new one is a Lenovo, G580 i3 2.5 GHz dual core, 4
This is what I spent 4 weeks working on. Four. long. weeks. And now it's on display at Emerald City ComicCon. It is only a shame it's up for 3 days and then packed away again. But with luck it'll get enough exposure.
About 2 weeks ago, my boss' son came to the studio with about 3 bins in hand. Each one filled to the top with Bionicle. "What's that," I asked. "I'm selling my Bionicle to my dad," he replies. "I'll give you first dibs, though." He knows me too well. So I sift through the first bin, and I notice a pattern. There's -plenty- of Kanohi in here. We're talking A LOT. It was in this moment I elected to go ahead and buy all the Kanohi from him. Literally every one I could find. So I did. And
For no reason whatsoever, the Staff Survivor game got overrun by BS01 staff? That'd be hilarious. Also I just got done with a huge week of work, gluing a commissioned mosaic designed from scratch. I'm tired, but I still have one more day to work on the week alone, and I have to prep for a birthday party with a Technic theme. Yes, there's some Bionicle in the pack, but not much. We also have almost every Star Wars technic droid set going towards it, too. I've gotta finish repairing the Droi
So, if you didn't already notice from the other day when we set it to the default skin, BS01 has a new skin in the works: http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=metrolook I'm still tinkering with it, I have suggestions and I know of at least a mile long list of corrections to be made as we go. At least I fixed the search button (it originally went to a search page, similar to Wikia; it now goes to the page you typed in, with a search being the redundant fallback if n
Sooo... ain't gonna lie, if you planned to enter the photo contest right now, your odds of winning General Grievous are looking pretty good right now. Like, very good. This is a reminder that The Caption and Meme contests will be ending tomorrow night, December 2nd, at 11:59 PM PST. To enter, you simply have to email us an original meme based on Star Wars, or caption the photo below, to biosector01@outlook.com with the name of the contest you're entering in the subject line. We'll also ha
So, I can safely say that despite my best efforts, Google AdSense still found a way to find SOMETHING relevant to me, either through Facebook or basic Amazon searches. Regardless, it found something to advertise that I may have been interested in: Buying tickets to go to the EMP Museum in Seattle to see the Block by Block exhibit they have there. Sounds interesting! Now I will first start by saying by all means, if you're in the great Pacific Northwest, go see it. Like seriously, go. Why do I
Man, this week. So, tomorrow at around 11:15 PM PDT I fly out towards Cincinnati, where I then wait for 3 hours at 6 AM local time (EDT) to 9 AM to catch a flight to Detroit. From there, I get to meet awesome people and attend a wedding the next day. Wootness to that. Meantime, since last Tuesday I was working on a megafig version of a wonderful character to build in Lego, that being Iron Man. The chest was a combination of the Mk III Arc Reactor core, plus the Mk VI styling and a hint of Mk
.... Me. So yeah, picked up this gem at the studio, it was part of a glued TRU/Target/Walmart/WHERVER DAN PICKED IT UP display. Fortunately for me, they only use hot glue. It only occurred to me when I was on the phone with Electric Turahk that I had picked up what is essentially Lhikan's Hau. ... Whoops. Anyway, planning to make it a Lego-pure wearable mask. I have ideas in mind, including the rubber axle connector trick, or using the treads option (we have plenty in the studio). I've g
So I'll be honest, this was not a first-day buy for me. I actually had to wait for my money to clear before I could buy it. Basically all I missed out on is the Red Son DLC. Oh well. I already 100% completed the main story, leaving only the S.T.A.R. Labs missions to handle, plus random battles. I think right now I favor both Green Lantern and Aquaman (no lame jokes, he's pretty epic in this game) with Nightwing as my third. I haven't had the time to sit down in any capacity to play through e
So, I'm currently off from work right now, both today and tomorrow. The rest of the week, I go in to work and do a workshop, then drop-in play days for kids paying. I also get to manage our train display (I'll link a Photosynth of it later on, need to make a better one.) In addition to all of that, I also have a Christmas party at my brother's house I'm attending. I'm happily looking forward to that, if only because my brother just scored a Surface RT from work, plus I'd love to play around wi
This is what I've spent my entire time the past month and a half on. We do not have public photos of all the models just yet, but we do have one with a photo of a commemorative model that we are giving away 25 of on our social media page. The requirements involve having a photo of yourself in both the Space Needle observation deck and one of the Willis Tower skyboxes, plus 'liking' our page. (For more information on the model itself, contact me via my email, swertmastra (at) gmail.com) Th
So, I was browsing the web the other day, and I saw a collection of logos based around the NFL teams with both German and Italian Football (Soccer) club logo concepts. I was impressed, but the two Seattle ones were kinda meh. So I made my own using a better shield. (The watermark's kinda to keep someone from stealing it and calling it their own outside of BZP. That'd irk me to no end if someone had.} It could use work, I'm not a fan of those stripes (I'd like to find a better solution)
The Empire Gives Back Contest I'm very much looking forward to giving away these sets. It's been a thrill to receive them, and it'll be even better when you win them. So go win them
So my area is now on a flood watch. Swell. Fortunately, they say it'll be minor flooding in the Puyallup River. In the meantime, to the BZP members in the Northeast of the US, stay safe and warm.
Twelve years after the legendary hunt for the Sterling Silver and White Metal Krana-Kal, I finally got my hands on at least one of the 5,000 WMKK. On top of that? I also got the card -and- the bag. I am very pleased with this addition to my collection. It is probably the only "rare" collectible I plan to go after in my lifetime, as it was the most likely to obtain.) Special thanks to Toa Lhikan Hordika for giving me the opportunity to use currency in a way to exchange goods to the benefit
Sure, why not; Ask me anything (within BZP limits) I will do my best to answer. Now, I will also say, I may paste the questions here so people can read 'em in the same post, I dunno yet. So yeah, ask away. Edit #1: I added my replies to all of the posts, bolded, and spoiler-tagged it so it doesn't stretch the screen: Spoiler tags are for spoilers, sorry man. -TMD Valenti edit: Spoiler tags are for spoilers only. Not to prevent screenstretchingness.
#1) Lego #2) Bionicle #3) Internets #4) Peace #5) Land #6) Bread #8) There is no seven #7) This is #8 #9) Confused yet? #10) Me too. #11) Wat? Long day at work, fad on the blogs started, I jumped in on it, typical Swert behavior.
So some have come up to me on various chat programs and asked, "Do you like Coke or Pepsi?" Well actually no, they ask if BS01's going to add BL11 spoilers on the day the book comes out, but I'd rather discuss Coke vs Pepsi, so I will.
I have had nothing but good things to say about both products. On one side, I love Pepsi's Cola, but on the other I love the Coke version of the Cherry flavoring. Also, don't even try to force me to drink Diet Pepsi.
So, why discuss it? I clearly have no fav
I just made my purchase of The Lego Movie off of Xbox Video, and it's downloading 7.3 GB to my 360 now. Soooo I guess I'll be watching it tomorrow night? Anybody else buying it digitally, or are you guys getting a physical copy?
