We've already gotten undead this year because the zombie genre has been so popular...now that giant monsters - specifically dinosaurs, thanks to Jurassic World - are majorly popular again, I think we could see kaiju or dinosaurs of some sort. Evil robots bent on destruction of all life - think Bohrok mixed with Terminators - is another potential I see. Perhaps a Bionicle version of Agartha is possible as well, seeing as the Hollow Earth conspiracy - which is closely linked to Agartha theories - is showing up in fiction again. I'm sure an underwater city will be explored again in the future. Space - whether it be alien invasion our the Toa going to another planet - is another likely possibility. Each of these could allow for unique story threads that don't necessarily have to follow the typical "good guys vs bad guys" story we usually find. The Mask of Time - depending on its powers - allows for a lot of unintentional wrongdoings to occur by beings who had innocent/neutral intentions.

The Exo-Zombies map Descent on CoD: Advanced Warfare. Love that map, but the 3D printer has been rather...rude...as of late.

In theaters? The Scorch Trials, on release night with my best friend. We both really enjoyed it and actually liked it more than the first. Last movie I watched on DVD/Blu-Ray was Eight Legged Freaks with my girlfriend...she said it was surprisingly good. I've seen it more times than can be counted and still laugh at certain parts.

Biggest missed opportunity in my eyes was not giving Karzahni - oh I think I butchered that - an actual mask. Lesovikk was a chance for a unique mask as well, but both were chances not taken...

Can ya'll imagine how different Bionicle would've been if they'd just stuck to the original 4? If Pohatu and Kopaka had never been added? Hmm...feel as though I should make a topic for this, but IDK where it would go...eh, someone who feels like it can make it for me.

Guys, let's stop calling Krekka a moron...that's an insult to morons.

Or you could have some respect for the 3000 people who lost their lives. If remembering this tragedy offends you, then don't pay attention to it. Some of us wish to remember it, let us do so. I'll never forget 9/11. I was in school, and despite being 6, I knew a horrible thing had been done...I did not know why at the time, I just knew it was bad. The rest of the day and the following days were solemn and awkward...walking outside and not hearing any aircraft was just...eerie. It's amazing that 14 years have gone by...thankful nothing like this has happened again. If there was anything that came out of it, it was the unity following the attacks. Race, religion, political affiliation, none of that mattered...we were all just Americans. Not even nationality mattered that day. I wish that same unity would come back, but I just pray it doesn't take another tragedy to bring humanity together again. Well, he does have a point. This story isn't going to be posted over and over, is it? I mean, there is always a point where one must move on. On the other hand of course, the story shouldn't do any harm and since I'm not American, I probably don't have too much of a say here. I don't feel disturbed by this story but if I were the admin of this site I'd probably have stopped in 2011. Just my two cents, though. I don't want to offend anyone. There are many other things that have come out of it and many of them aren't good. Middle East and even Europe are experiencing some very long-term implications right now. I'm not a historian but it's probably safe to say that 9/11 was one of the most influential events in recent history, if not the most. However, I try to be an optimist and think that everything is going to work out eventually. There are always rougher times and better times, you can't have one without the other, after all. I do wish so much unity would come and spread over the whole world, too. I wonder if that's one of the things that unites us all (ironically)? The problem is that there are too many different views of what the world should look like. Having a day of remembrance doesn't mean we haven't moved on. The Pearl Harbor attacks are still remembered, just not as much...with time, 9/11 will be like the Pearl Harbor attacks and the sinking of the Titanic, and only be remembered on the big anniversaries, like 25th, 50, etc. Let's also stop being so anti-American. Yes, America did some questionable things, but so have other nations, so stop acting like we're the only country that has ever wronged anyone. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Much agreed, the current music already has a Djawadi-esque sound to it, so it's easy to picture him doing his own, and after hearing his work in Iron Man and Pacific Rim, I'd love to see what he can do! Has Cryoshell even done anything new since Breakout? I can't seem to find anything new...and yes, Imagine Dragons! I think Battle Cry proved that they can do songs that fit a franchise.

I'm a fan of heavier metal than A7X and Mike Portnoy is a god among the drummers in the bands I like (without further rambling, my favorite A7X album is Nightmare). I think as far as Bionicle goes, a song in a style like Danger Line or Burn it Down (ik that's not from Nightmare, but it's a great song) would be awesome to hear in Bionicle if the story got to a point where those songs would be considerable. I know A7X is going to make a new album soon so I'll see what that sounds like, but I really am not onboard with the direction they took on Hail to the King; just not my thing. I didn't mention Shinedown as I haven't heard any of their songs before, but I know they are along the lines of Disturbed, Sevendust, Breaking Benjamin, & other alternative metal bands. As far as what I would come up with...well let me come up with something first lol. It would probably be a blend of all my favorite bands with lyrics about Bionicle/some event in Bionicle. I'll start brainstorming this weekend on some lyrics and then see what I feel musically. P.S. Evergrey is my favorite band. I would LOVE for Bionicle to be promoted by some Evergrey songs, but the storyline isn't dark enough for that yet. When I say dark, I'm thinking more along the lines of the 2007 storyline. I'll recommend you some songs as a trade for a some Shinedown songs Ah yes, Danger Line came to my mind earlier, and Nightmare is an AMAZING album. Gonna be interesting to see what direction the new album takes. Burn it Down...you mean the Linkin Park song? I thought of mentioning them, but they're honestly overused in modern culture. Still love 'em though. Here's a few Shinedown songs you may like: Stranger Inside, Her Name is Alice, Diamond Eyes, I'm Alive, Sound of Madness...pretty much the entire Amaryllis album, especially the first 4 songs. Diamond Eyes, I'm Alive, and some of the songs from Amaryllis probably fit Bionicle - both old and new - best. I've never heard Evergrey, but am always looking for new bands to listen to, so I'd love to hear your recommendations! Look forward to whatever song you come up with, good luck with the brainstorming process!

Are you putting a challenge out there sir? Because if you are indeed, I WILL compose something to pay homage to Bionicle's return. Would you want me to try composing something? That's your opinion on Cryoshell, I shall respect it. I'll go ahead and admit that perhaps you're right and they should stay connected with G1, and move on to other things instead of doing anything for G2. I note that you said what A7X is doing nowadays...so do you mean that you think perhaps some of their older stuff would fit? I was thinking some of their modern songs like "Coming Home" might fit, but I'm uncertain on how I feel about that. I also noticed you didn't comment on Shinedown. If that's because you're unfamiliar with them, I will definitely recommend some of my favorite songs, if you'd be interested. As for you composing something, I'd say go for it. Would be interesting to hear.

Shinedown or Avenged Sevenfold. Shinedown has songs full of meaning and enough variety that they can come up with something that fits. They've done songs for The Expendables, The Avengers, and Alice in Wonderland, and though I can't speak for the first, they captured the latter two perfectly, IMO. As for A7X, some of you are probably questioning that because of their tendency to use bad language, but not all their songs use it, and they've also shown themselves capable of doing a variety of styles and writing songs with meaning. Both bands are capable of the in-your-face fight songs as well as calmer, more emotional songs...and then songs that are a blend of both. Shinedown is perhaps better suited, but A7X could probably handle it fine. Although a Cryoshell return is what I'd like most.

So, got Cryoshell's album for my birthday recently, have been listening to it and am addicted! Always loved them, but wow, I'm really hoping they make a return for G2. Although I still enjoy the score for the animations. Love how it has an Iron Man or Pacific Rim - both scores were composed by Ramin Djawdi - feel to its sound.

I like what I see here, keep up the good work! The backstory is really good as well.

I've been away for about 2 weeks, what - besides this mask hunt stuff - have I missed, if anything?
