Matoran Nuparu against Tails from the Sonic universe. I can imagine them having some silly one-upping game going on where Nuparu brings out a Vahki, Tails brings out the Tornado mech, then Nuparu gets the Boxor and Tails brings out a crazier mech... something like that. Also I wonder if you pitted a Nui-Jaga up against a Drapion from Pokemon, I wonder just who would win.

I drop a watermelon on your head. My mask.

Out comes a dark and dank dungeon. In goes a bottle of Diet Dang: http://imperialflavors.com/products/dang-that-s-good

Out comes a wagon band. Instead of marching around football fields, the football players tow the band across the field in tiny red wagons while they keep up a racket with their instruments. In goes a monkey bashing a pair of cymbals together.

Out comes a 1-Up mushroom. In goes the Mario Bros.

Also, may I note that some of the canister designs just didn't work well at all, not because they didn't look cool, but they were really stinkin' hard to open. The Mistika cans, for instance, or the Rahkshi and Vahki cans. Those were just painful to open. Compared to those, the boxes were an improvement.

If the kids didn't notice the sets on the shelves, it's probably more due to a lack of marketing than the shape of the packaging. Personally, I loved the canisters and was kinda sad to see them go, but that's nostalgia more than anything else. The ones where you actually did something with the lids though were cool, setting up a little Suva, or hanging up Bohrok in their cans. Also, has anyone else noticed? You can take a Kanoka disk and fit it into the top of a Metru canister lid. Little things like that. But since Gen2 didn't really have any collectibles, there wouldn't be much of a point to designing the cans to act as pedestals to display them. So I can see why they went with boxes. Do I like the decision? Not really. Can I see why they did it? Yes. There are many factors as to why Gen2 failed, but the effect of packaging is negligible compared to some of the bigger culprits.

The cleanup boats get pummeled by a Tarakava on a sugar high. Nuparu gets a job at Google.

Out comes a book of necromancy. In goes my calculus textbook.

I'm down with this. As for me in particular, I'm going to be working on calculus and Malkhar. Maybe I'll get around to posting the fanfiction I wanted to write last year, maybe not since I reused so much for my original stories. Who knows, if I do something smart and give myself some free time next semester, maybe I'll work on a few games. *shrugs* I'm not worried about Bionicle staying dead, because as some have mentioned, it'll only die if people forget about it. Fortunately, something like Bionicle is nigh impossible to forget.

(I completely forgot this forum was a thing, what's wrong with me) Out comes Khar NH-0J, a self-driving automobile. It's let loose in Le-Metru for testing and promptly crashes into a telephone pole. In goes the mangled remains of said telephone pole.

Are you one of the people working on this? If so, nice work.

So I mentioned this in the Video Game You Last Played topic but I figured I'd create its own thread. What's a game you love that you think everybody should play, at least once? Post it here and why you like it. The idea is to get a list of cool games, then when you're looking for something new to play, check out the list of what other people posted. Hence it shall be named the Playlist. I'm gonna cheat and post three to start. Numbers 1 and 2: Doom (the old one) and Doom 2. Two of the best first-person shooters ever. What I like about these is that you can play them at whatever pace you want. You can go slow and clear out the levels room by room, or you can just dash through them holding down the mouse button like a maniac. It never forces you to go faster or slower than you want. The controls are simple, you have all the guns you need, there's a ton of mods... there's not much bad you can say about them. Doom 2 is pretty much the same as Doom 1 with a few new monsters and a bigger shotgun. Number 3: Myst. I don't know why this game gets so much hate. The worlds are beautiful, the story's actually pretty good albeit awkwardly told. You wake up on a desert island with a magic library. There's no pressure or goal, just you exploring. If you buy a copy, make sure to get one of the remastered versions, it takes like three minutes to load your game in the original. So what are your favorites?

So my family went on vacation last weekend, I spent a lot of the 12-hour car ride playing Pokemon Sapphire in Spanish. It's an... interesting way to learn a new language. I've been training ten Pokemon at once so I have a main team and a backup team at level 30, it adds much more playtime than I'd usually get out of the game. Also the characters' names are way cooler in Spanish. May's name changes to Aura, Steven is Maximo, Archie is Aquiles, the Pokemon Rangers are now called the PokeGuardos. So yeah. Want to learn a new language? Get a cheap gameboy and Pokemon in Spanish =P Meanwhile there's a lot of 'classics' that I've been meaning to get to, like the Mega Man series and the gameboy-era Sonic games, so I've started writing them down. I figure I'll play through those and cross them off as I go, just so I can say I've played them once. I'll throw this question out for you all, what games do you think everyone should play through at least once? My vote is for Dooms 1 and 2. They're some of the best first-person shooters, even for being so old. Even if you don't like FPS's, I think everyone should play those at least once to see what the fuss is all about.

I'm gonna leave ya'll in the deep, dark, dank meme dungeon for a while; in the meantime I should probably get out while I still have some scraps of my sanity. Well that explains how he was able to raise the dead, just add Mountain Dew.

I think reading all these puns may be hazardous to my health.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. The first time I played through, some guy from our church told me it was really easy, so I started on the highest difficulty... yeah, you really shouldn't do that your first time =P Anyhow, my old rig died (thank you very little, Microsoft) so I reinstalled it and started a new game, this time on the easiest difficulty. And whaddya know, I actually had fun this time around =P I usually don't like Star Wars, but the lightsaber fighting is so detailed. It's fun but tense when you get into a fight with a Sith, even at full health the duel can go south really quick - but it's soooo satisfying to drop him with a couple of clever moves. Also the Sith seem to have a penchant for dueling on the edges of bottomless pits. They still haven't learned after me Force-pushing half a dozen of them in =P

No, not maybe. It doesn't matter if they "make something new with it", its still illegal and none of you should really be praising these people for what they've done. Sheesk, fine, you win. Still doesn't stop me from liking the designs. But I'll quit talking about it so no one gets banned.

Still, it's a lot more creative than taking a design from a couple of years ago and passing it off as your own. These guys actually put their own twist on Lego's designs - that's why I thought of modders and fangames. Are they stealing? Maybe, but they're also making something new with it. Dang, I want to find some Protectors now and recreate the designs.

On this note, what if 2017 was a prequel to 2015 and 2016, like Metru Nui was for Mata Nui. I mean, it wouldn't have to be all sci-fi heavy and cyberpunk like Metru Nui, but what if it was in the years before their duel and they both fell asleep for who knows how many years? There could be fights between the heroes of old who foretold the coming of the Toa, and a necromancer who Makuta learned the art of creating the Skull Creatures from. Who knows, maybe Makuta's nightmare world is that ancient city and time, recreated from his fragmented memories. I don't know, it'd just be really cool if they ran with this and fleshed out the world of Okoto a bit more. Bionicle is known for switching locales rather suddenly. Then at the end of that wave / year, it would switch back to the Toa, and them using the knowledge from Ekimu's tale of the ancient world to finally beat Makuta.

I just realized you gave each of them the Kanoka emblems. *salutes*

Same here. I kinda want to get some just to see what the quality is because they look pretty cool with all their tweaks, if they weren't the crummy fragile plastic I'm familiar with I'd be fine putting them up with my normal Bionicles. Actually, if I were LEGO, I would try to find who made these and hire them as set designers. I hear that Sega hired some Sonic fans after they made their own game, maybe this would be the same kind of idea.

I wonder if the Onu-Matoran wear uncommon colors because it's harder to distinguish colors in the dark of the caves. Sort of like road workers wearing neon orange so people can see them. Also, maybe 'orange' as a color means all different shades of orange. Maybe a Su-Matoran could have normal Vakama orange, burnt orange, or Keetongu orange.

Yeah abstract mitts should stay around. It's much easier to do a stab / dramatic point pose using the tip of the y-joint hands than to use the new fist parts, and frankly, I'd rather have a cool-looking pose over a cool-looking hand.

Kopaka would probably be a knight of some sort, though how one would even get him to participate in a Halloween festival is beyond me. I think Gali would get a kick out of a pirate costume. For Pohatu... I don't know, but I'd bet he and Lewa would pull off the craziest, most elaborate costumes. I wonder what decorations the Matoran would put around their huts for Karzahni day, though... Fikou webs? Mask-o'-lanterns? Hafu carving a giant twenty-foot-tall skeleton?
