Rough Concept for The Lego Bionicle Movie

Life as a retired theme is actually pretty great! The extensive cast of the Bionicle franchise has spent the last few years relaxing in luxury with not a care in the world, and is having their annual reunion party as the film opens. The scene focuses on big name characters like the Toa and Makuta, with a few condescending references to “the Gen 2 side of the family” and a small appearance from an old drunk Slizer who rants some gibberish about the prophecy of the Slizers’ return. One of the T

Pahrak's Latest Bright Idea

It’s insomnia-fueled idea sharing time again!   Due to some anime I've seen, I want to do a story with personifications of stuff, and right now I’m thinking I may try with the islands in Bionicle. Tentatively thinking title could be “Geonicle” (Geographical Chronicle)…anyway, it’d be about a bunch of Toa-like beings named after the various islands, with traits and abilities tied to that island. Interaction will hopefully imitate canon events. Also thinking each one can summon a “Geo Blade,” w

I'm Really Terrible at Fighting Games

This is the story of a trainer named Pahrak and his trusty Chandelure.   Pahrak and Chandelure arrived in the Ferrum Region, having heard tales of the Pokken Tournament and deciding they wanted to compete. A girl named Nia was kind enough to teach them the basics of how Ferrum Battles worked, and after getting down the basics, Pahrak and Chandelure decided to get started.   It was immediately apparent that Pahrak really had no idea what he was doing, but his sheer dumb luck seemed to work for a

The Twelve Queens

Work on Divine Strength continues. I just finished chapter five, the bulk of which can be read here (be warned, it's rather long). This scene involves all twelve Queens coming together in neutral territory to discuss the main threat of the story and how they will each deal with it. The same general material was covered in the prototype story Conference of Divinity, which has been posted both here and on Tumblr if you want to compare them.   And now I'm a little stuck. The next major event I

Ultra Sunset

Hm.   Well I finished Ultra Sun’s story and post-game episode. My feelings are mixed.   There are a lot of things added to the game that I like, but there are two big things that irritate me. One is that it felt a good deal harder than SuMo, which I already didn’t think was particularly easy, but I know, git gud and all that, whatever. The second is that I…guess I had my hopes for the story too high.         Well, either way, here’s my team: -Fistleo the Incineroar -Tempo the Dusk Form Lycanr

Brave>Brave>Brave

Hm, now seems like a good time to update y'all on my Bravely Default progress. Spoiler-free as possible.   Made it to Chapter 2, where I'm finding much irritation, but at least I got the satisfaction of killing that wretched Red Mage in the sub-quest. Not to mention said quest gave me the first sign that Ringabel isn't a complete son of a brakas! Character development! Anything else I'd have to say about him, well...let's not and say we did. Tiz is...boring? I mean, all I've seen of him thus

When Life Hits You Hard, Hit It Back Harder!

Well between school and life I haven't been able to get much of anything done, have I? Life snuck up on me while my back was turned and started shooting at me, so I was at a bit of a disadvantage and needed to find cover. Of course, once I found cover Life kept shooting and I couldn't find an opening, and it was quite some time before I could step out long enough to deflect some bullets with my sword and get closer, but once that started I gained momentum and eventually got up to Life, cut off

Rowlet is Still Best Starter

-Later this month we’ll be getting a demo similar to what happened with ORAS, which will give us access to a Greninja with the ability to transform into Ash-Greninja from the anime. Which is great! Except it’s still called Ash-Greninja instead of getting a better name. Oh well. -The main draw here is the mid-stage evolutions of the starters! Check ‘em out! -Mega Evolution is confirmed to be back! Thank God! Why did they wait so long to mention it? No word on if there are going to be any n

Coliseum Reboot Draft

I'm starting to get an idea together, but I want to run it by you guys first. Take a look:   -Titled "Technic Warzone" -Fighters have a stat total of 12 by default. The sponsor can allocate another 8 when they start sponsoring. (Thank you, Pulsating Explosive!) -Trainers will be removed altogether. -Stat boost items will have explicit fixed values. (1 for most, 3 for “large boost”) The Golden Kanohi and Staff of Mind Reading will be removed. -Champions still get a free item. The reigning Cham

Asterisk Guide: Astrologer

Asterisk Holder: Currently unnamed old man (pictured right)     Origin: Final Fantasy Tactics   Was It In Bravely Default?: No   Overview: We have been told that the Astrologer will use “Moon Magic”, which consists of powerful buffs including an ability known as "Element Barrier". Very little information is known.   Personal Thoughts: Since Performer and Astrologer are both buff-focused, I’m curious to see how they will be differentiated. I find it odd that we’ve been told so little about the A

I'm Confused

Wait...are people upset that there are going to be more female characters in the next Lego Movie?   I read the talkback and I can't really make much sense of it. I think they're saying they're worried that this means the director's just going to toss in some half-sincere female characters for the heck of it?   Even though actually clicking the link in the BZP article leads to an article with the headline "'The Lego Movie 2' Director Wants More Strong Women In Sequel"?   Which is basically just

I'm Glad to Have Fiction Writing Back

In today's class we sang "Everything Is Awesome" and discussed the cleverness of old episodes of Spongebob before getting on to critiquing stories. One of the stories up was mine, which was the prologue and first chapter of my rough draft novel Divine Strength, and people actually seemed really into it and wanted more! (Which is what a good prologue and first chapter should probably do, I imagine.)   I was thinking of doing something unrelated for story 2, but hey, if they want Queens, I shall g

Pokemon Gold Typhlosion Solo Run

Listen, I love Typhlosion and the Sword and Shield reveal left me feeling underwhelmed, and though I’ll probably end up seeing Detective Pikachu eventually I’d rather not spend money on it because what the what, so…this was the best way to feel like I actually still like Pokemon.   I wanted to see if I could beat Pokemon Gold Version (the 3DS Virtual Console version specifically) only using Typhlosion. I restarted the game, picked Cyndaquil, named him Blaze VI, and never used another Pokemon in

Sun and Moon Demo

It's available on the eShop! I thought for sure the server would be too busy, but I downloaded it in just about 20 minutes!   It's pretty fun, though obviously rather short. You get to meet Hau an Kukui, and have some encounters with Team Skull. I was right, they're losers. As reported previously your main Pokemon here is Greninja with the Batte Bond ability, letting it turn into Ash-Greninja after knocking out a Pokemon. The description just says it powers up Water Shuriken, though the move inf

Technic Tournament 3 Feedback

Technic Tournament 3 & Knuckles just concluded with Knuckles acquiring a full set of Super Emeralds and unlocking an epic scene where Hyper Knuckles destroyed the Makuta-possessed Great Spirit Robot in a single punch and then flew around the eight realms distributing magic rings to their inhabitants.   Also Umarak became Champion and lost to Pridak in the Title Match. Not the ending I was hoping for.   I’m not sure when I’ll host Technic Tournament 4 in 3D, but while this last game is still

Revising the Backstory

Okay, if I’m going to rework Divine Strength, the backstory’s probably a good place to start.   Now, the idea had always been that the Queens didn’t always exist. I mean, their goddess forms more or less always did, but they lived in an ethereal realm separate from the material one, and humans knew about them through occasional visions and such. At some point the two realms started to merge, bringing magic to the material realm. Eventually, this process resulted in the goddesses appearing in

I Ran Into Sub Slizer Today

Kal and I were walking around when this spaceship pulled up, and then Sub Slizer poked his head out.     "Get in losers we're gonna throw some disks."   So we went with him. Because who doesn't want to throw disks with a Slizer?

It's Seasonal

Unchained gave out straw hats in this week's ranking. Thankfully there was a Raid event so it was easy to earn a bunch of Lux! I've been trying different outfits lately anyway, so I changed things around and this is what I'm looking like at the moment.     I'm totally not going to use this to make a One Piece reference. Nope. Just a...straw hat. No need to mention rubber pirates.   Wow, this is probably the first (or maybe second?) time I've not worn a jetpack since being able to wear a je

Shade Is The Heart's TRUE Essence

Recently Famitsu did a survey in honor of Kingdom Hearts' 15th anniversary, asking things like favorite characters, favorite scenes, what Final Fantasy characters you want to see (Bartz placed fifth!!), etc. More recently, Nomura responded to these results, and there were two things that really stood out to me.   One: he is disappointed that Riku didn't place higher in the popularity poll and wants to fix that. I wholeheartedly agree.   And two:     (screenshot from KHInsider)   Nomura has ca
