@NightOwlKOJ: I was actually using the NuiCraft tecturepack that one of my friends made: all the blocks are the standard texture, just the items have changed. [] But I think it should be okay if you run it with Optifine.

@Lemon-Fire: Yes, that was an intentional call-out. [] @Shaymin36: Thanks [] And no, there is no release date yet, but I estimate the first chapter will be released around january, or later, depending on when the first Bionicle book comes out (I need to make sure the game's story can fit into cannon)

I can confirm that this is pretty epic: I played it a while ago, and it's as fun (if not more) than Bionicle Heroes. Also note that the map is huge: It started lagging at the lava level even with my super-beefed-up Mac mini.But still well worth the go.

Pohatu turned into a zombie and Vultraz started a business []

A couple of butters trying to simultaneously perform Spinjutzu and Makuta's shadow hand in cloud cuckoo land? [ ] That's what it looks like to me... [] Oh shoot, wrong topic [] XD XD []

Oh yeah, I saw some of those episodes [] Looks great! [] []

Please do [ ] The more publicity, the better, and all that [] EDIT: Updated the banner so that it actually works (9_9 []) and added a preview of the Legend of the Mask Makers.

I'm pretty sure "Kai" relates to fire, don't quote me on that though, and the earth guy is literally named "Cole". :0 Actually, Kai means "ocean". Sorry for quoting you. Funny, I made exactly this point today; it's why TLM was a flop [] (again, IMHO []) Wait, what? In movie terms, a "flop" isn't a thing that's based on opinion, however humble. A flop is a movie that is a critical or commercial failure. Critics are almost unanimous that The Lego Movie was good (it has a stellar IMDB rating), so it's not a flop critically. And it earned $468 MILLION internationally, with a budget of only around $60 million, meaning it was far from a flop financially. The thing about opinions is that they can't contradict actual facts. "I like living on Earth" is a valid opinion, but "the earth is flat" is not. Similarly, you can say you didn't personally like The Lego Movie and be holding an honest and valid opinion—but it wasn't a flop by any stretch of the imagination. A flop is a failure [] It doesn't need to be a worldwide no-show for it to be a personal flop [] Exactly, but I never said/meant that TLM was bad, fact. [] I said In my humble opinion. [] Or, did you miss that? []

Good. [] Not, good that you're not a Catholic priest, but, good that you're not the person I was thinking of [] 9_9 It's a saying [] Or at least, I think it is.. [:S] I certainly think I've heard it before [ ...In your opinion [] Oh dear, been watchin' too much Marvel [] [] In layman's talk, a robot is a machine meant to do something/somethings, and only that thing/things which the owner would rather not do [] Like a slave (where the word originates from []) And I never said they were sentient because they weren't mechanical. [] I just said they were Biomechanical [] Totally different to robot [] Funny, I made exactly this point today; it's why TLM was a flop [] (again, IMHO []) ...Don't know how to get rid of this [] I I V

@Wally (You wouldn't happen to be a Catholic priest, would you? [] Very unlikely, but bigger coincidences have happened.. []): True. But from what we have seen of it, it doesn't exactly look like Hitchcock could make a thriller from it [] Did I say it was? [] I said overall storyline, not individual documentation [] @Gatanui: 9_9 Bionicles (Yes, I call them Bionicles, deal with it [] []), are not robots. [] A robot is something like Cleverbot, who can't actually think for themselves. http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Sapient_Species All the main species listed there are Biomechanical, one being totally organic [] I personally think a universe, within a universe, living beings keeping a massive one going, is even more epic than a fantasy world where a powerful ring is at the source of the story [] Mind you, it's close, but Bionicle tops it [] Again, in my opinion [] @Aanchir: As you say, the "main cast" was mostly from 01. [] Most, if not all characters introduced after that didn't have elementally-themed names []

Ninjago: Ninja, Samurai, human-sized snakes, massive mechs, ultimately evil overlords... Bionicle: Biomechanical beings with incredible powers, richly detailed personal stories and characteristics that run deeper than Makuta's envy, an overall storyline that's so mindblowing it tops Harry Potter and LotR, etc. etc. Elves: ....Well... Elves. With tattoos. [] I mean, come on. How you can even start to compare them is beyond me [] It's like comparing Black Beauty to MLP [] Also, Ninjago never had elementally-inspired names, at least in none of the foremost characters. [] And Bionicle only had that in it's first year []

Really? To me it seems significantly less pink than their other girl-oriented lines. If anything, its focus is lavender. Besides colors, this line looks like it has more in common with Bionicle and Ninjago than it does with any of their previous girl-oriented themes. Duh. [] You know what I mean [] O_o Really? [] You're comparing fairies to Bionicle? O_O

Oh help [] Friends way okay, but this... [] It's like Disney got hold of Belville and crossed it with their pink-iest franchise... []

You're a curmudgeon [] Does everyone seriously not call them "toe-ah"? [] [] What do you call them? [:S] "too-ah?" "toe-ai"? [:S]

Okay, first of all: TEH HYPE! [] Okay. Done. [] Secondly, here's some points of interest/genera observations [] 1. So cute, the little villager! [] I can imagine a plushy of him... @-@ [] 2. What horrific voice acting :\ [] Maybe it's just becase I hate british accents [] (and before everyone starts yelling "RACIST", I am english, so.. []) Kopaka's voice in the 4th vid particularly narked me, but it was okay in the promo, seeming to have switched to Pohatu and Onya Onua... So I'm not too fussed about that. 3: Mask of time! [] It's everywhere! [] This is much, much more than a throw-out to the older fans... O_o [] 4: Did anyone else notice the six elemental planets in the Prophecy of Heroes? Looks like there might be a whole new set of worlds out there... O_o [] 5: The Elder of fire is Sensei Wu gone Biomechanical. [] 6: Tahu: How come I'm supposed to defeat evil? Elder: You are destined blah blah blah OMG SPIDAHS! Tahu: -Owns spiders- Like a boss 7: I can't wait to see the "I am Lewa/Iron Man." memes pouring in [] 8: ...Onua, have you been takin' sneak peaks at Okoto Online Game? [] Because the rocks falling thing when you get to your golden mask is exactly like it [] 9: "I didn't slip." Please no more... [] 10: Gali, you sound like a bloke [] 11: Looks like we have our Takua-ish star for the upcoming bionicle game [] 12: This isn't the end of the videos: We have yet to see the scene where the Protector of Fire is piggybacking on Tahu []

Well, that's me out of the running [] [] T'was a pleasure to pit my poorly-honed MOCing skills against yours, my friends [] []

I'm Batman.

BTW guys, skype chats, or even on-site minichats are incredibly useful when RPGing across the internet Might want to make a wiki with a chat or something? It's very helpful [] []

Something I've been working on for the last couple of days: Lovely IOR warping there, gonna be great fun in the water region, and for heat waves in the stone region.

Thanks [] Sorry I haven't been posting any visual updates, been working on the Legend of the Mask Makers and some IOR for going underwater, and it's been a nightmare so far :\ Not giving up anytime soon though

I can tell you now, unless Nuparu quits his job and works full time on it, it's not gonna happen [] Even multiplayer on Unity, which has integrated networking support, is incredibly hard to use and understand []So trying to program it in the java used for MNOG would be an incredible feat of coding []

In-cre-di-ble! Truly one of the greatest fan films I've seen! (on the same lines as Vrahno's struggle in the drifts! []) I love the effects! How do you manage to apply them to loads of different frames? Do you go to each pic and edit it? []

No way. [] That's my birthday! [] What a nice surprise []

Here here [] Personally, I'm just happy to have built something that complex/big [] My previous MOCs were limited mostly to combo-models of Tahu and Turahk, or very small Voya Nui Ko-Matoran XP Nothing to write home about... [] []
