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
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
For once, I bring -good- news on this 26th day of December. Nothing really special happens today for me, sorry. But in regards to BS01, and believe me there's good news to it, we're finally settling in on the server quite nicely, and HS01 is up and running quite well. BS01, however, is being a naughty boy and we haven't even started the road to Christmas 2012 yet. No matter, we're speeding up the process internally, and images are (SLOWLY) being reintroduced. I honestly do wish to apologize
It's cold in here >_O Anyway, today's Bricks Cascade Day One. I'm gonna set up the island today, and maybe mingle a bit if I can get out of this trunk. Please save me. I have a wife and family. Okay I don't, but save me anyway.
Whew! Okay, so... for the past 6 weeks or so, I've been swamped at work. I've had to build 10 large skyscrapers (4 to 9 feet in height, pure Lego no gluing) plus set up for another show in Calgary, Alberta, Canada (which we handled, the client loved it, they want more work, yay us). This is literally the first night I've had where the next day I get to do absolutely nothing. I'm going to be seeing Man of Steel in the morning. NO SPOILERS KTHX. (Cue the several "HE'S FROM KRYPTON!", "HE'S CLARK
Alright, some HAPPY news. Aww yeah and stuff. So my hard drive enclosure finally arrived. It takes the hard drive I own already, that being the laptop's hard drive, and converts it to a USB 2.0 based connection, thus effectively making it an external hard drive. Advantages? All my stuff is now secured on SWERT04, via SWERT01, plus I have the ability to access this data at any time without opening up my computer to get to it. Also, I'm closer to finding a replacement processor and motherboa
But it could easily have been. Click for larger detail Taken with -my- phone. Fortunately both phones are insured, and it'd cost me no more than say 100 bucks to replace, and Sprint's cool in that we can add it to our next bill and maybe even set up a payment plan on the bills. So we can handle the blow, but it's gonna take time. Now then, if you'll excuse me, I'll be going to work.
Haven't even hit morning of the 15th, and already got a few gifts: 2 new Polos + Floyd T-Shirt $70 total from relatives $75 Amazon Gift Card from brother Three new DC-related movies/DVD collections: Batman Mask of the Phantasm, Green Lantern Emerald Knights, and Green Lantern The Animated Series Season 1.0 (13 episodes already debuted, with the other half coming out next week or so on CN) (I bought myself this one) Black Mesa Source Not expecting too much else, but you never know. I'
Just placed my order on shop@home, and I decided to apply some VIP points towards it. 1300 VIP points, to be exact. So yeah, I just bought the Spaceship for $38 after taxes. ... I cannot wait for this set. It will be glorious.
Okay, I must personally apologize to all MakutaFest people who attended during that question. When writing them, we did research pretty deeply on BS01 directly, and I remembered the Taku but mistakened it for the same role as the Kewa, which is much larger and indeed the one we wanted instead. One of our biggest errors was in how BS01 worded it: "When the Great Cataclysm brought about the creation of the island of Mata Nui, many Kewa migrated there and established themselves in Le-Wahi. In the
For all readers of the Expanded Multiverse and more specifically the Cipher Chronicles, you may or may not recall the character named Revolution. If so, you will recall Bonesiii and I had taken plenty of steps in keeping the identity of Revolution secret. In fact, I even resorted to using a nanite android in order to use him without using him, just to keep the identity secret. You see, Revolution is not, as one might expect, what he seems to be. Revoution was always an envisioned figurehead,
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.
I -really- want to get a game going eventually, and I've never felt comfortable playing random games online with people I don't know. So, I'm inviting the users with Gold XBL membership on the 360 to play. I know there's at least 5 of us around here. Any takers?
So yeah, I've been busy. ... Very busy ._. On the plus side, I've had a lot of stuff happen. I kicked Sprint to the curb and signed with AT&T. In hindsight, I needed much more money than I had at the time to do this, but I'm confident it won't break me. Because of this, I ended up having to purchase a new phone. It was high time to replace it anyway. I decided to get a Nokia Lumia 1020, a wonderful choice I don't think I'll regret until probably halfway through the contract when the 1030 l
So, I didn't go to ECCC yesterday, but I did get the chance to go today. Didn't buy much, but what I did buy is truly amazing. I also got to do something amazing. (Warning, large images.) Basically, I got to chat with Stuart Sayger again, along with buying a Green Lantern print that he signed, then took a photo with him, and wore the Tower of Plimps on my brick badge for a brief time before packing it away. Today was a good day.
Want awesome custom bronze stuff? Talk to Inferna Firesword for pricing and ideas. She's -amazing- as a metalsmith. : D [/Thar, I've plugged you IF, now I can wear my ring without guilt 8D]
Man, I'm bored. So I updated my blog with new stuff. More Green Lantern related, go figure. In the real world I am in the middle of summer, so our schedule is down to 3 days a week in the studio. FORTUNATELY I'm busy working on something epic, that being a megafig of Iron Man. I may have described the last four before (Green Lantern, Captain America, The Flash and Logan (Wolverine) in street clothes) so this is a bit more challenging. For the geeks out there, I'm designing the Iron Man 2/Ave
Gone too soon ;_; Fortunately I already bought an SATA 2.5" to USB 2.0 hard drive enclosement, so nothing will be lost. Still very sad ;_; But at least I have you, desktop phone and xbox *huggles all*
In 2003, I met a member on BZPower who helped me gather bearings and kept me semi-sane on here. That member is Janus. After 9 long years, I finally met him IRL. And yes, he is AWESOME. Also DV's not too bad, once you get to know him. No that's a lie, I didn't really get to know him. But I'm sure if I did, he'd be not too bad (As for the other staff I met: You guys are pretty cool too. I loved this event, and though it was rocky at first we ended it on a better note.) Now let's go en
