Toa Smoke Monster

Keetongu

I would wonder how the inhabitants of the new dimension I landed in would react to my arrival. If someone offered you a chance to become a Barraki, you would....

Two days. That's how long the wait is until Metroid: Samus Returns is available to the public. I can't wait to start playing it.

I now really want to read Tesara's section of the epilogue when it is posted.

And the battle is on. Nice tab at the Tuyet 'revival' too.

It's hard to believe this happened only 16 years ago. Never forget.

I find it amazing that aside from the players that went inactive, only two characters died in this game. I thought more would have died towards the end of the game. I'm not complaining though. And who knows, someone could still die in the epilogue.

"This is the reaction the majority of the Bionicle fanbase had when the MU Robot was revealed."

If hugs are still being offered, I'll take one. Because why not?

I teleport you into a giant iceberg, where you will remain frozen forever. My Mask.

About sums up my reaction too.

IC: Toa Smoke Monster "Agreed. I don't think there is anything we can do at the moment but retreat for now and regroup. Do we need to pick up anyone else before we head out?

IC: Toa Smoke Monster "FF, I'm really glad now that you stopped and picked me up." I tell him as we ride around in the Thornatus. "I have no idea what that thing is, what happened to Nato, or what that floating Mask had to do with any of it. What are we going to do about this?"

IC: Toa Smoke Monster Upon seeing the recent events, including seeing a strange mask floating in the sky, I decide it's time to get mobile. I look around and see FF driving around in his Thornatus. I run out and attempt to wave him down, shouting "Hey FF, over here!"

IC: Toa Smoke Monster I look around from my hiding spot to see if there is anything of interest, whether it be other players or something peculiar about the environment. I request a RNG roll for Intelligence for this.

Sums up my thoughts on Tuma's death. Anyways, IC: Toa Smoke Monster A smile creeps across my face at the sight of Tuma's body turning to dust. Even though I wanted to land the killing blow, it doesn't matter in the end. With Tuma gone, the Rock Agori can now be free to live as they wish. Which is what I've wanted since the Iconox Civil War. My attention turns to the scene with the shards. Unsure of what is going on, I look for a secure spot, if there is one left, to observe the scene and see what happens. I request RNG rolls for Intelligence and Luck for this action.

IC: Toa Smoke Monster "I better not miss this time." I wait to have a clear shot at Tuma's back, aim my Thornax Launcher, and fire another round at it. I request RNG rolls for Strength and Luck for this. OOC: I'm starting to sound like a broken record, aren't I?

IC: Toa Smoke Monster Determined as ever to see Tuma finally fall, I peak around a building to see my target, once again aim my Thornax Launcher at Tuma's back, and open fire. I request RNG rolls for Strength and Luck to assist with this.

Upon making this entry, I realized that I haven't talked about Pokemon Go since last February. Let's fix that. Pokemon Go has changed a lot since Gen 2 was released. The gyms have been completely redone, and for the better IMO. Now they can only have six Pokemon in them, with none of them being duplicates of each other. Plus they count as Pokestops as well. You can even feed berries to the Pokemon in the gym if it's under control by your team, helping them stay in there longer and giving the player stardust in return. Their set up is a lot better than the gyms of old, as they can give a reason to use different Pokemon for gyms other than Dragonite and Gyarados if they are already in said gym. Players can now find shiny Magikarp and Pikachu in the game, though they are VERY hard to find. (You can also hatch a shiny Pichu from a 2K egg, though it is also really rare) They make for a nice surprise to find whenever you are on the hunt for Pokemon. But the biggest and coolest added feature IMO are the Raid Battles. These are where you battle super strong Pokemon, and a lot of them can't be beaten by one person. I actually joined a couple groups, one on Facebook and one on Discord, that have members post when they find an interesting Raid Boss. That way, people can plan to meet up to take on the boss. I've had a lot of fun meeting up with other players, sharing stories of our hunts as well as talking about the Pokemon we have caught. I've met some really cool people thanks to these battles. And with the Raid Battles came the Legendary Pokemon. Towards the end of the summer, Lugia and Articuno started showing up at gyms, with the latter only being available for a week. Moltres showed up the next week, then Zapdos. After that, all four were able to be caught until the end of last month. I wouldn't say I had the best luck catching these guys, but I did get at least one of all four of these Pokemon. As you can see, the game has had a lot of events going on recently, and it doesn't stop there. As of this entry, the Legendary Pokemon Raikou, Entei, and Suicune are wondering the globe. Raikou is in the Americas, Entei is in Europe and Africa, and Suicune is in Asia-Pacific. Ater this month, they will rotate to different regions, and than after that month they will rotate again. This gives everyone a chance to catch these guys. I already caught Raikou, so I just need to wait for next month to catch the next one. On top of that, EX Raid Battles are starting to show up. These give you a chance to catch Mewtwo. Though you have to beat a raid boss at a gym to receive an invite to an EX Raid Battle. That's the only way to participate in this one, meaning you need to do Raid Battles on at least a semi-regular basis to get a chance to get an invite. It's kind of tedious, yes, but Mewtwo's catch rate is higher than the other Legendary Pokemon that have been introduced in the game so far. So that's something. Overall, I've enjoyed playing the game with these changes over the last few months. It's allowed me to meet new people, join different groups online, and allowed me to explore my local area more than I probably would've otherwise. And of course, catching some powerful Pokemon has been great too. I look forward to catching the remaining Legendary Pokemon I need to catch, plus catching Gen 3 Pokemon when they arrive in the game. What are your current thoughts on Pokemon Go? Do you still play it? Have you caught any Legendary or shiny Pokemon?

The subject of this poll is simple enough: Would you want to see the Toa Mata (Tahu, Lewa, Onua, Gali, Pohatu, and Kopaka) be the main heroes of Bionicle Gen 3? (I know that a Gen 3 Bionicle is either not going to happen or won't happen for a long time, but for the sake of this question let's just assume that it's going to happen. ) For me, I could go either way. I wouldn't mind seeing them return for a third go. But I also wouldn't mind seeing new characters be introduced in a new story. I guess it would depend on what kind of story they were telling. What do you all think? Do you want to see the Toa Mata return as the main heroes of Bionicle Gen 3?

I decide to not ask you anything and just punch you in the face. My Mask.

Out comes a hurricane that wipes out half the planet. In goes a Turaga of Air.

I hire some Dark Hunters to take you out. They got you.
