  1. The album will preliminarily go to shatteredslumber at 150$ unless someone else is willing to buy within the next month.
  2. 200$ for a binder of cards may sound like a lot until you start considering that these are quite uncommmon. I think 200$, which is the price for a WMKK, is also pushing it for a piece of common piece of metal, but as relatively few WMKK were made, the price rises accordingly. I doubt that there are many complete lamincards collections out there. To my knowledge, only one collection has ever been sold on BZPower thus far, and TLH bought it for 200$. Many BZP users did not even seem to be aware that these existed until I sold that collection. 200$ for this album is not cheap, but I really don't think it's excessive, especially taking into account how many card packs I had to buy to finally put together a complete 210-card collection. However, it's not like I am unwilling to negotiate, so I suggest we continue this conversation via PM.
  3. I don't understand why so many people are freaking out about this. Granted: The new setting implies that the movie will be taking place in another universe and the characters won't be the Ninja we have seen develop and come to love from the TV series, meaning that we will be less emotionally invested. That may be a donwside, but it doesn't make the movie awful (yet). We don't know the plot and we haven't seen a single trailer so far! Calling out for boycotting the movie at this point is ridiculous and highly irrational. For all we know, it's still our beloved Ninja, but at High School. Now, if they were to change the actual personalities of Ninja, THAT would be a major aspect to be upset about, and I sincerely hope they are not planning on doing that.
  4. This is the single most true post you will ever find on the internet. What I wouldn't give to go back to the good old days. Before social media, before smartphones. Back when kids played with toys instead of tablets, and when people actually talked to each other instead of texting. Where did everything go so wrong? I'd say the fact that LEGO's sales numbers have been constantly increasing for several years proves that there is still a very great interest in old-fashioned toys. And anyway, "back in my days" kids played on a Gameboy or online (or not online) games on a PC. I don't see too much of a difference to playing with tablets but if there is I'd love to hear it. And I'm pretty sure that the fact that people can now text in addition to talking doesn't mean there is less communication, it means there is more.
  5. Yes, Supersonic RC was awesome! Well, I never really liked the Hero Factory Breakout online game, the graphics being rather awful (although I realize the game was designed to be able to run on mobile devices) and the gameplay being ludicrous. What is the point of a shooter with auto-targetting? That aspect alone sucked all the joy out of that game, but maybe, that's just me. In my opinion, the last really good BIONICLE/HF-related online game was Creep Crushers, having beautiful design and being generally comical and fun. Yes, there have been some good LEGO games since the mid-2000s, but I dare say the number of good games has actually decreased, even taking nostalgia into consideration. I particularly miss games with story-telling, Robot Chronicles (which I really enjoyed, by the way) being the last game I recall to have actually told some kind of story. I am actually very surprised that the focus of LEGO games has seemingly completely moved away from story-telling, as I consider the latter to be essential to boost a child's imagination. We, at least, would often draw our inspiration from the LEGO games, expanding the universe from the stories of those games and creating new stories around those to play with actual LEGO.
  6. There were really great online games at that time.
  7. Elliot from Mr. Robot vs URIEL_COPY from The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna. Considering the former isn't exactly the healthiest person alive and the latter is an android that can jump down dozens of meters without a scratch I'd say the latter is more likely to survive.
  8. This song is kind of weird for several reasons: 1. It's the fourth remix of the same song that's five years old. 2. I never really understood how the lyrics related in any way to the story. 3. It's kind of weird how some of the remixes replace "weekend" from the original title "The Weekend Whip" with something else, creating totally nonsensical titles like "The Pirate Whip". What is a pirate whip? What was the "weekend whip" anyway? Anyway, just some random observations.

    Wrecking stuff

    I am fairly sure it qualifies as netbook...? (it's an asus eeepc 1000he. no idea. I got it ~7 years ago.) Well, let's say I wouldn't be happy with a notebook with those specs on this day and age.
  10. I can recommend Antichamber and The Talos Principle if puzzle games are your thing.

    Wrecking stuff

    When you say netbook, are you sure you really mean netbook and not notebook?

    Anyone use Telegram?

    Yes, I use Telegram and I know a couple of people who do. It may be more popular in Berlin than elsewhere because this is where it comes from. Anyway, it's very good, notifications are super reliable and overall it's rock solid and there is a steady influx of new features, while keeping the clients light at the same time.
  13. Thanks everyone! Exactly. Thanks, but I'm not there yet.
  14. That's me now! Time to play some video games.
  15. Well, you know better now, so that should actually make you wiser.

    Civil War

    SPIDER MAN!!! The hype is getting too much to bear.
  17. As some of you recall, I already auctioned a complete BIONICLE lamincards collection here on BZPower a couple of months ago. If you missed out on that chance and are interested in posessing one of these very rare pieces of merchandise, now you have a second chance to do so, because I am selling another complete collection (all 160 motives plus 50 glitter editions). Since I am too lazy (or busy, take your pick ) to take new photos, be sure to check out these old reference photos of my past auction: https://www.flickr.com/photos/gatanui/23398559966/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gatanui/23342180411/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gatanui/23424735515/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gatanui/23056748319/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gatanui/22796368754/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gatanui/23398548946/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/gatanui/22796365504/in/dateposted-public/ Prize: I am aiming to sell this collection for 200$, just like the last time. If you wish to buy, post in the topic or send me a PM. Rules: Payment: I only accept payments via PayPal.The shipping costs (see below) will be added to the cost at which the buyer acquires the album. The sum has to be transferred to my PayPal for the payment to be considered complete. For maximum convenience, I encourage the buyer to send the total sum in one transaction.Shipping: I will ship as soon as the payment has entered my PayPal account. I will provide the buyer with a tracking number to track the shipping progress.By default, I will ship internationally in a padded letter or small box via DHL for 15,79 EUR (or 8,79 EUR, if you are a EU resident). If for whatever reason you desire the shipment to take place with a different shipping service, I will be glad to send you the set with a service of your choice

    Weird Question

    Sure, the first time I played Portal all I saw was white areas to open portals on.
  19. By 'magic', what you mean is 'not at all', right?
  20. Microsoft couldn't resist either.

    SUPER

    Search for SuperHot on YouTube.
  22. How so? Isn't this just the third one? That's pretty standard. This trailer looked really good (though I thought the cut to Wonder Woman was awkward) but I didn't really like the third, so I'll see this movie with mixed expectations. My favorite moments were the beginning with Alfred and the part where Batman blocks Superman's hit - Superman's expression at that moment is priceless.

    That moment

    I don't know but it happened to both my brother and me. And I'm sure none of us have anything like Agnosia.
