The Lord Of Wednesday

I have no problem with RTS games, but I rarely play them.

The person below me knows what Rule 63 is.

Not in the past week, I got two on black friday both are Anberlin albums, specifically Dancing Between The Fibers Of Time and Dark Is The Way, Light Is A Place.

The person below me has something they always wanted to write, but have not gotten around to it yet.

The quote boxes have been screwed with in the previous blog update I presume. BZP news did state that the people performing the update were a little :overzealous" and it bled into other systems, or so I heard.

 

While I really enjoyed this episode, it actually made me dislike Scootaloo even more than I already did.

 

Let me try to explain this dichotomy: I've always adored the concept of a dreamscape, largely due to the Echoes from the Edge series and the movie Inception. So seeing Luna's connection to dreams, as well as the distortion effect around Scootaloo after she realized that she was in a dream, put me in nerd heaven. Plus, Sweetie and Rarity were both in top form this episode, which created plenty of openings for cute and funny moments.

 

However, Scootaloo's characterization focused on the aspects of her that most annoy me. It really bugs me how Scootaloo hid her fear, especially bearing in mind that she didn't realize that the Olden Pony was a nightmare until the second half of the episode. Hiding the fact that someone was apparently out to kill her wasn't brave; it was just stupid. Yes, I know that kids are irrational sometimes, but I doubt that anyone would have kept quiet after being hunted down and cornered.

 

It could be that she knew it was a dream when she was awake, but did not know this while in the dream. I can vouch for this because I dream frequently, but there are times when I am dreaming and had no idea until after I was awake.

 

While I don't have the computer skills to pull this off, wouldn't it be sweet if someone made a MLP game using the MNOG engine? Just an idea, but I think it would work.

 

Has anyone even found a reliable way to mod it? I know the files are easily accessible & modable, but I haven't seen anything actually done with it.

 

Though I hear there have been flash games in a similar vein to the MNOLG, so it's probably an easy thing to recreate with any engine.

 

Someone here was able to at least mod the dialogue, though I would think that if one could not mod it then they could just use the engine alone by removing the bionicle specific aspects of it, though that is probably the same thing when you think about it. Either way I am sure it is possible, though you do have a point in that there are similar things one could use, it just seems cooler when I think of it being based in the MNOG engine.

So let's say we wanted to make 2001 into a live-action movie; seems like a good place to start. Let's tweak the backstory a bit: the Great Beings are futuristic humans from Earth (not much of a deviation from the original story, to be honest - the Great Beings are confirmed in canon to not be human but act a lot like us). There was no Shattering - Mata Nui was simply sent out to investigate life on other planets. Many years later, he returns, but crash-lands on Earth (he's also a lot smaller because canon Mata Nui wouldn't fit on Earth) and creates his disguise-island. The Toa Mata are sent out as the failsafe to reboot Mata Nui, but oops! The canisters shoot out of Karda Nui and hit an airplane that just happens to be flying overhead. The plane crashes on Mata Nui (Bionicle + Lost = win) and the six sole survivors of the plane crash have to don the dead Toa Mata's armor and save the island.

 

Sure, it's not the Bionicle that I grew up with, but I'd still watch it.

Or you could go with the original story, with Mata Nui and Makuta being more spiritual/god-like beings. After all it was the thing that drew a lot of the fans to Bionicle in the first place, in that sense no canon is essentially destroyed and it can be introduced to new fans in a way that does not require several thousand footnotes. Said new fans could then view the other media in the same order we did and get an experience not too different then ours (in terms of story reactions anyway).

An old trick is to type "kapura" in-game, and then press F8 if a problem arises, this should reload the area correctly with few exceptions (but even in these exceptions, there are tricks to get around them with it).

While I don't have the computer skills to pull this off, wouldn't it be sweet if someone made a MLP game using the MNOG engine? Just an idea, but I think it would work.

One other thing is the sheer tactical ability the Piraka had - they had fought and killed Toa for tens of thousands of years, from veterans to novices. They knew pretty much exactly what the Toa could do, and in contrast the Nuva knew nothing about Skakdi.However, the Piraka had never faced Toa who had lightning mixed with their main element - they also underestimated the tactical ability of the Inika.

One might also want to point out that, while the Inika had little experience as toa, they did have experience as warriors/soldiers.

Take Jaller, for example, as a matoran he managed to hold his own against rahi, bohrok, and even managed to rob a bohrok-kal of it's krana, it would make sense that his experience would carry over, and maybe some of his hand-to-hand abilities and thinking on his feet fighting styles that he had to use as a matoran.

Yes

Mine are next week.

The person below me lives in a nature dominated area.

Alright, I bet you never guessed these.

-To kill an enemy in an FPS game, shoot at it until it dies.

-Sarcasm was not meant to be taken literally.

-To win a race, you usually have to be ahead of everyone else.

-If you are bleeding, then odds are, something is wrong with you.

-Airplanes can fly, most birds can too.

-The gas pedal in your car makes it move.

I know, you're dumbstruck by this new information .

I don't think so.

The person below me knows what this illustrates

and has experienced it before.

I don't really see TF2 Spies, Creepers or Turahk to be creepy in the slightest personally. I do find Slenderman creepy, at least as a concept, and while I may find other things creepier, the problem those have that sort of kill the creepy factor is that we know enough about them to deal with them without that much of a problem.

Yes.

The person below me has observed some media where Lauren Faust had a hand in it.

I can't see bronies going en masse to LPS, it seems like a massive stretch and I doubt you are anymore likely to consider it whether you are a Brony or not, the main reason I believe this (among others) is that Lauren Faust has nothing to do with it. @ AanchirI would not call it luck, at least not more any other show, the main thing that seemed to draw at least some people into MLP (at least initially) in the first place is Lauren Faust having a major hand in the show itself. Also, having read that article, it brought up numerous shows and while MLP was among them, it did not give so much as a plot synopsis at all, and quite honestly, I don't even think that if the article didn't existence that it would have impacted the Brony founding all that much because of that. People would have tried it and were likely to bring it to Site with forums removed. -B6 where it would have ignited anyway (but more because of Lauren Faust having her name on it), at least if you ask me.

Probably 4/5, Iove happy hardcore/jumpstyle.

Though now I will change the mood to slow and sad.

Hymn To The Sea - James Horner (the 6:30 minute version, oh and I personally believe the song hits it emotional crescendo about about 5:00-5:30).

Indeed, I have problems with downloading them online, and they are not related to network connections if you get what I mean.

The person below me has felt so wonderful thinking of something other people would find most cynical.

Already do .

The person below me finds music to be the most emotional form of entertainment/media.

Very much.

The person below me finds social/collective morality to be meaningless/useless/or even morally "wrong".

I should really read that sometime.

I am looking into taking programming, possibly.

The person below me has read a book containing at least 700 pages.

As cool as it would be to have a working fusion that essentially makes you a god, I don't think there is a single being (except maybe the Great Beings, and that is a HUGE maybe) that could wield it's power without it killing them in an instant.

That takes a lot of effort for the lack or money such a project has going for it. You would have to cross that financial hurtle first, however even without it, you would have to consider it would probably go strait to DVD, considering that I don't think the target audience of Bioncle fans is large enough to warrant a full release, and that is assuming that the movie would be accessible to non-Bionicle fans and draw them in.

Nope.

The Person Below Me still builds MOCs.

Nope.

The person below me has a phobia of some sort (I mean a serious phobia, not just being afraid of something that has a phobia version of it, if you know what I am getting at).
