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
With blood and rage of crimson red... This power is mine, this is my light... In blackest day, in brightest night... In brightest day, in blackest night... In fearful day, in raging night... Tor lorek san, bor nakka mur... For hearts long lost and full of fright... The Blackest Night falls from the skies... ... [insert White Lantern oath here]... Yeah, you get the idea. So, I finally -FINALLY- obtained the last of the Lantern Corps rings and power batteries. There are nine in total. I now pr
So, this is a unique position I find myself in. On the one hand, I worked almost 4 weeks without pauses. I need a vacation badly. I need time to recharge my mental batteries. On the other? I spent almost 4 weeks without pauses. I forget how to -relax.- Therefore, I'm sitting here looking at random stuff online, playing music, but it does no good to me unless I go do something. Truly not in the mood for gaming, btw. ... Maybe Netflix? Suggestions? HALP! D:
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.
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
Two days ago, I put in the longest work day I've had to put in since I started working for The TbP Group (Dan Parker's company encompassing his commission work, his educational camps and events), namely 16 hours in one huge shift. This blog entry is about that. What did we do during this lengthy 16 hours, one may wonder? During the 10:30 to 1:00 pm hours, not much. It's when we hit 2:30 up in Seattle, WA that the fun really began. The event we were at was held at CenturyLink Field, home of
Hey everyone, I'm happy to announce that HS01 is -finally- ready to upgrade the main page to mimic BS01's in terms of navigation and content. Aside from some cosmetic changes, the navigation is now fully functioning (or will be when it's posted anyway) and I plan to show off these features in the near future in a blog entry or topic (for both sites, cause apparently nobody uses it on BS01 that I am aware of, simply because nobody knows it's there). In non BS01 and HS01 news, I get to work fi
I'll never ever EVER watch that show again! ... Oh wait, I never did anyway 8D Anyway in all seriousness I'm feeling a ton better now, my chest doesn't hurt as badly, and I look forward to getting back to work tomorrow. What am I working on tomorrow, you may wonder? BORG. AND DEATH STAR. AND STUFF FOR A CLIENT NAMED MEECRO SAFT. I think we got that name wrong on the form. I guess we'll find out when the check comes in 8D But in all seriousness I was really sick D:
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.
So, in 2006, I was very poor. This is to expected, I was still in high school. I couldn't afford to buy the good sets like (at the time) the popular Batman line sets. What did I miss out on, one might wonder. Well, the biggie I have is Nightwing the figure. He was only available in the Arkham Asylum set, #7785. He is probably one of the rarest figures I have ever laid eyes on in that particular series. I'd put him rarer than some of the others, especially since he was not re-released in the Batm
I took some opinions I gained from people on my IM, and my limited blog comments, and I created this new revision. The old is just below it. I think I did a better job on this pass, and it looks more cohesive. I'd love it if we can find a better Missions and possible a better Saga Guides image, but I did make some major changes. In addition, I adjusted the lettering spacing so the I looks cleaner. Easier to read. I also negated almost all gray (the LEGO Black icon is staying, it's the best
Dude. ... Dude. Dibs on Deadpool. Anyway, I'm happy they finally announced another superhero game, and it's even more surprising given I would expect them to release it last year when Avengers hit. I suppose it makes sense to release it when Iron Man 3 hits. I look forward to it, Fall 2013 isn't coming fast enough.
So, exciting times coming up here in the studio this coming beginning of the year. We're in the process of making up to 6 different events at the same time happen, including three shows in the summer, a -huge- model for Emerald City ComicCon, an event in February at CenturyLink Field (Probably the WaMu Center... but if it's the real field, I'll be a happy Swerty : D) and another couple of things I forget off the top of my head. Basically I'm busy. With any luck I'll be able to post teasers o
Alright, so as mentioned on HEROsector01's main page news, we're planning to upgrade the main page to the same layout as BS01's, or close to it. One of these includes my pretty clever navigation system (yes I did actually create the concept, even if SK and Metax managed to make it all work... kudos to them, though). What comes with this navigation? An actual button grid: And if you weren't aware, BS01's main page navigation works by clicking a tile, and a menu slides from the right to the
So, unfortunately I work two days in a row starting tomorrow, and I have stuff to do on sunday, so I guess I get to go see it on Monday. Even though I read the book like twice and saw an animated version of it once, please don't spoil it Hopefully worth the money.
Sup Internet. It's Swert. So I went to work in my usual timeslot today... tons of LEGO building, gluing and making things look pretty for clients... again. And didn't finish until 7:30 Pacific. So yeah, I'm tired and it's my dad's birthday. But all is well, I'm just going to relax now and enjoy the rest of my wee- wait, I have to work two more days?! ... Challenge accepted.
Of course, this is an older photo, I've since redone that black wall with an epic look (photos coming Monday night, when I go back to the shop :3) And yes, it says Swert. It is the Swert building. We sell Swerts.* *No we don't.
On the plus side, I finished the campaign already (2 days' worth of work) and I now have about 30 days of quests, free play and mithril bricks to find x_x Oh, and IE10 pre-release. It has spellcheck built in : O which is new FOR IE. I know you FF/Chrome/Safari/others had it first. Fortunately I never needed it but it's nice to have.
So, in the month of January 2012, I approached (with Xccj) my boss with an idea: Build the island of Mata Nui. 10 feet by 5 feet. Terms of the agreement were clear: Don't take too long, make a kickin' model, and disassemble it off the clock. ... I disassembled it this previous week. BUT! I had help : D Lehvak taking care of the green brick Gahlok holding a 4x4 plate Tahnok and Gahlok at work. I think the Tahnok wants to melt the red brick o_o;; BOHROK VA! : D Everybody pitch
