Wait, you mean you haven't downloaded it yet? Why?
It's leagues ahead of IE8. And having tried Firefox before, and refusing to allow anything Google on this computer (besides Google Talk and GMail <<), and I don't even have Quicktime on here, I'm not going to try Chrome and Safari. So yeah, don't waste a comment saying I should go to that.
But I will say this, give IE9 a try. You'll be pleasantly surprised, I promise you.
Now, if you HAVE gotten IE9, disregard this rant and
Basically, it's a ToP. It's for the Minecraft scene my studio's been building that will be at Emerald City ComiCon. And I had to fight an uphill battle just to even get this built. Seriously, nobody else knew about it except me. I'm just not regretting it at all. Also to answer a question that will be asked, we got a lot of that gold brick from both the 50th anniversary tubs and the 2x2 came in those golden ornament packs.
So um... I kinda wanna change my blog name. But I suck at naming things (My computers are SWERT01 and SWERT02, my Zune is SWERT03, my phone is SWERT05 (the hard drive in 01 is SWERT04, kinda wish I had named the desktop SWERT02 to match Thunderbirds better but whatever)) and I really want a cool name. So submit ideas. I'll take any ideas FROM ANYONE. Just remember, keep it BZP appropriate. Also NO PONIES! kthx.
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.
Until this sunday, the Vahi is -MINE.- I shall cherish it for as long as it is in my household. But I do hope someone wins it. MAYBE IT CAN BE YOU! YES YOU! Enter by clicking the Vahi image:
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
It's raining like crazy over here. Oh, and it's 6 AM. I'm still on PDT mindset. HOORAY FOR REDEYE FLIGHTS! I'll be in Detroit by 11 AM their local time. So 8 AM my time. I need a nap x_x
This is basically a log of what transpired last weekend for me. Both the good... the bad... and the epic. On Friday evening, I flew out from Seattle at 11:15 PM PDT. At this point, I was awake since noon. I did not sleep on the flight, and I did not sleep again until 3 AM Sunday morning. I then arrived in Cincinnati around 6 AM EDT. From there, I waited 3 hours til 9:45 AM, where I departed towards Detroit Metro Airport. Once I touched down and collected my bag, I walked out and met up with
So I'm sure by now many of you saw those spiffy BZP staff shirts being worn by BZP staff. Cool shirts right? ... Yeah, I'm not a fan of custom shirts. But I do want custom BS01 hats So who'd be down with buying one if I got a bulk sale of 'em? Like maybe a limited run of 20? (I'm still thinking about them, this is preliminary)
Maybe next year, when I say "I'm tired from working six weeks on a project under a strict deadline" someone will listen when they remember back to when I used both Toa V and Derpy Hooves to basically do absolutely nothing all day with. That is all. Thank you and have a nice April 2nd.
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
Hey guys, got something great for all the Hero Factory fans out there. While BZPower was getting its forums upgraded, we had a chance to contact Elmer Damaso to have him draw a particular "expanded universe" character. As you know, Mr. Damaso is the artist of the Hero Factory comics found in the LEGO Magazines and online. Having him draw a character who doesn't have a comic form was pretty exciting, especially for those at HS01. While he was drawing this character, we got contact details from Mr
... for a wedding. HOWEVER I had the choice to go to BrickFair VA this year, I chose to side with caution as far as finances go. I am, however, still going for BrickCon. THAT I set aside money for since January
So I should disclose, I have too much stuff. Like seriously, -too much stuff-. For about 10 years I only had one big shelf to work with. It wasn't nearly good enough to display anything with. So, now that I can officially say I am old enough to have whatever I desire, I bought 3 brand new bookcases for my room. Basically, I cleaned up my room. Shocker for me, really. Link to OneDrive folder (public for all, read only, no login required) I took 9 photos in total, each showing one section of
One guess. So given Microsoft just lowered the price of the Xbox One back on Saturday, I decided to pick up an Assassin's Creed Unity Kinect-less bundle, $350. It didn't occur to me when I got it they also planned to give me AC4 as a bonus, which given I already had it on the 360 was a nice plus. I then proceeded to buy Fibbage for $6 and Minecraft XBO edition for $5. ... So basically, I spent almost $400 (with tax) on a brand new console, 4 games, and basically a multipurpose controller (
So, I mentioned before in my ignored blog post that I wanted to build Mata Nui the island. Xccj and I discussed it, Dan Parker and I discussed it, and we're ALL on the same page to get this done... in March. Now why do you, the reader, care? Cause at some point, we will be asking for fan-submitted Mata Nui System-Based locations. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO MAIL ANYTHING TO US. We are going to have as much material as we can muster for this project, and so long as you provide good photos or in
So, I get to Bellevue around 11:20 AM today. I visited the Bellevue Square mall and went to the best store in the building... THE MICROSOFT STORE! ... And then the LEGO Store. 20 minutes later, Dorek arrived. We didn't stick around in there for long. We bought the boss' stuff, like 2 Helm's Deeps, a Monster Fighter Haunted House, a small Friends set for parts, and so forth. I picked out the Vampyre Hearse set, and I bought Dorek a minifig series 8 (the pirate.) After early brunch, we took
So this week, I the opportunity to participate in interviewing a friend of mine. That'll get posted online within the week, so I'll be sure to share it. It's pretty relevant to BZP, actually. In the other news, I've been working a bit more slowly since the Minewell project was finished, and so I've gained some time back to myself. I took the opportunity to rent and watch The Hobbit #2, then starting Lego The Hobbit. Didn't go too far into that yet, but it's already leaps and bounds ahead of Th
Did I forget to mention we have grand prizes, too? These six go to ONE lucky winner. And this is only one of the two grand prizes. I didn't even photograph the second one yet. Details coming soon. Oh also, we moved MakutaFest to Aug. 5th. Same time so far. ALL PRIZES ARE COURTESY OF CITY BLOCKS, TACOMA'S LEGO ART CENTER.
The Wall - Experience Edition and The Wall - Immersion Edition. I've got Experience on my computer already (<3 you, Zune Pass) and I might just consider Immersion eventually. It'd be worth it some day.
So now I'm left with a dilemma, really. I'm quickly coming up on my sister's graduation (on saturday). I wanna design a congratulations card for her. What should go in it? XD (And do not fear, she does not even glance at BZP... or even BS01. Nothing said here will be read by her.) Also IWANNASELLYOUAHAT
When hist'ry wrought an archive new From tale, from code in Wiki Blue For knowledge, this, we worked upon. Continue now, EDIT ON! I sincerely wish to thank Inferna Firesword, for being an awesome person. Oh, and for my rings The Nuparu Inika claw was given to me in 2011 at BrickCon. The second is a custom for me I commissioned. And now it's mine. (Special thanks to Tomana for writing the Wiki Lantern Oath. YOU ROCK BUDDY!)
So back on Friday, during the huge flood of Steam sales, Bioshock Infinite was one of those games on sale. I didn't buy it. But I was gifted it by a friend as an early Christmas present So now I'm playing it off-and-on (CURSE YOU WORK! *shakes fist*) and enjoying it immensely. ... Granted, had I not read the spoilers like a month after it came out, I'd probably enjoy the twists more. But fortunately knowing the story is actually not enough to prepare me for some of the twists and turns it
