  1. https://web.archive....ower.com/forum/ (go to the link to the most recent General Discussion topic - "Mistreatment") This topic parrots complaints about the reboot so perfectly. It's beautiful. Especially this post: This is a post from 2003. 2003 And some other things: imagine kids throwing eggs at Swift and Danny as they perform Insane Bionicle Brain

  3. We awoke in Memphis at 10:00 and began the process of leaving the hotel, which took until an hour later because of the chronically understaffed valet service. Having determined a much better hotel route should we ever go across I-40 that far again, we left Memphis and navigated its traffic through the suburbs and across Tennessee. Our route today is pretty much the exact reverse of our first two days of the first Great American Road Trip, so in many ways our day today—and our overall I-40 route back—have wrapped up these four trips in a way that indeed comes full circle. The traffic patterns moved like an accordion across many sections, where traffic going 0 one minute would be flying at 80 the next and then back again. We stopped for lunch at an Arby's outside of Cookeville, where we got things we knew—save for me, who had curly fries (I'd only ever gone for their potato cakes in the past) and an orange cream milkshake, which was so thick and so cold that it stayed chilly until I finished it off past the North Carolina border. The traffic thinned out and aside from some bits of road construction and a little rubbernecking, we made excellent time as we went along with the wall-to-wall traffic at a clip steadily five over the speed limit. Sunset darkened the sky after we passed Asheville. We stopped at a Food Lion for midnight snack and breakfast supplies, but we had gotten there a few minutes too late and they had just closed. We made our way to a Harris Teeter and were the only other customers in there save for a tattooed, yet very mild-mannered young couple and a convoy of three highly efficient couponing black women. We got home after 24 days, 20 states, 7,215.7 miles and 23.8 average MPG. Tomorrow: we sleep in after a long (and physically exhausting) trip. The past three long days back from Utah have been especially hard.

  4. About a year ago I was trying to learn some basic 3D modeling, going through the stuff I made I found this Bionicle thing. First, just a Huna: Front, Angle. But I also made the top half of a Bionicle character and gave him some animation (pardon the unfortunate camera movement): Video.

  5. You know what's great about having a friend who is extremely adept at making trades and scouring ebay for deals? He knows just how to grab something rad online. A few days later and bam!--Toa Lhikan Hordika puts in my hands the Collector, one of San Diego Comic Con's exclusive LEGO minifigs last year! (A trade, of course.) He looks good with the team, and by team I'm including the proper Nova, of course. And Drax has his signature energy axe. (A second thanks goes to xccj for grabbing me Rocket in his Ravagers outfit.) What is really cool about the Collector is the backing of the case unfolds to show a large image of him, scowling (the other side of his minifig head). Not that any sane LEGO collector would display this unless there was a safe way to do so, but it's a pretty neat bonus. But the exclusives don't stop there! I also have another benefactor: my manager who used to work at GameStop and snagged all kinds of extras for the LEGO video games. So now I have the exclusive Elrond figure and, better yet, Lex Luthor in power armor and, better yet, Plastic Man! Certainly exciting additions to my collection. What's next? Making a display case for all of these (and my other exclusives)! -CF

  6. Anyone else jump with left trigger and grab with X? No? Because if you accidentally use default controls after getting used to your custom controls, and every time you try to double-jump you airdodge... It's bad.
