Hey there! I'm joint dog, and my username was picked by a random gamertag generator. Every now and again I go through a Bionicle phase and end up ripping sprites or maps or text from early 2000's Lego games. If I'm currently posting on the forums, it's safe to bet that I'm going through one of those phases!

Here's what I've done so far:

• Feb. 2018: I found the Brakas' sprites in Tales of the Tohunga, mostly through dumb luck.
• Oct. 2018: Tales from the Lego Express: The Heist was a choose your own adventure game on the old Lego website. Someone on Twitter asked about the game, and after a little digging, I found that the plain-text script was captured by the Internet Archive. I made this partial recreation from that script; sadly, none of the images are around. (Fun fact: when I was a child, I was once so enraptured by this game that I didn't notice my apartment was flooding.)
• Apr. 2019: I mapped all of Tales of the Tohunga.
• Feb. 2020: I ripped the Toa, Turaga, and Matoran sprites from Battle for Mata Nui. In doing so, I noticed that the Toa looked a lot like prototypes. Weird, huh? A few months later I circled back around and ripped the rest of the sprites too.
• Mar. 2020: I started a blog, primarily for trivia about Tales of the Tohunga, but I veer off-course sometimes.

I'm a bit of a drifter (like the infamous Thok), but I try to be sincere in all of my fandom interactions (unlike Thok, who's a real troll). I'll joke around a little, but by and large my posts are in good faith.

If you have questions, feel free to drop me a line! Probably the best way to reach me is on Discord; my ID is in the sidebar.
