    Just thought I'd help spread the word, -Tilius- has a poll going on if you would want a Matoran Universe/Mata Nui robot set, broken down to price, system/technic piece ratio, and how tall you would want it to be.
     
    Poll is here

    End Of An Era

    By Serpent of Fire,

    By know I'm guessing you've heard. The Stars are the last Bionicle sets in the "foreseeable future" (The story, however, will continue).
     
    I've gotta say, its sad to see the sets go. I've always figured that the story would go before the sets, especially considering that Scholastic has stopped publishing the books.
     
    -Begins Reminiscing-
     
    I can remember when I first learned about Bionicle when the very first comic came with my lego magazine back in 2001. I was instantly hooked. I bought Pohatu Mata as soon as I could, then eventually got every last Toa Mata released. I even managed to get the Nui Jaga, Nui Rama, and Muaka and Kane Ra sets as gifts. The only sets from that year I still have intact are Tahu, Pohatu, Onepu, Huki, and Kongu. Plus the Nui Rama, minus their rubber bands which disintegrated due to old age and over use. 2001 will always be my favorite year of Bionicle. That was when I knew absolutely nothing about the storyline, which at that point, for me, had the most mystery during its run.
     
    -Ends Reminiscing-
     
    So what now? Well, I've got a Classified Bionicle Classified that I've been working on since classified. I'll have to start classified about the classified when classified is classified. I may even classified the classified.
     
    About that new Non-Ben 10 line

    I'm suddenly curious about what makes it more flexible. Does it have more pieces? Are the pieces all made of rubber? Will it have a flexible storyline, or a rubber one? I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to what comes next.
     
    Ok so I think that this is my longest post yet, and if you made it this far, then you have way more time on your hands than I do. Wait, why is my time on your hands?
     
    Oh, and I think I should mention this: Yes, I'm aware that there was no Internet Junk of the week last week because I forgot about it. By the time I remembered (Sunday), Maj had disabled the ability to upload photos. Since I am too lazy to sign up for another image hosting site, Internet Junk of the week will be delayed until the first friday after I figure out its been turned back on. And don't worry, I'm still collecting junk to post, so when it goes back online, expect a jumbo junk post.

    Modern Warfare 2

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Got the game earlier today. It is made of epic winsauce.
     
    There definitely is a reason this one is rated "M" Kids may want to skip the airport level if their parents are watching. Gunning down unarmed civilians will not sit well with some people.

    A Shocking Day

    By Serpent of Fire,

    My day didn't exactly get off to a great start. Around 5 AM I woke up unable to breath because I was choking on a big glob of mucus. I was fine an hour later. My guess it that it was a side effect of the H1N1 vaccine spray I had yesterday.
     
    Later, I go in to work, and was asked to run cords down from the ceiling to run power to some christmas trees we were putting up on display. That went smoothly, until I plugged the last tree in, and only the lights in the middles worked So I had to go through and check every single light to see where the dead ones were. I found the bottom light easily, but went through all of the top ones, not finding a single dead bulb.
     
    Then I noticed the two wires sticking out the top of the tree, with two metal clip looking things sticking out, (the lights were still plugged in at this point), and in my infinite wisdom, I grabbed them both at the same time. Needless to say, it was a shocking experience. The funny part is, for the split second I was touching both the wires, I saw the lights come on.
     
    Yeah... suffocation and electrocution on the same day. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go set myself on fire.

    Boo

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Happy Halloween!
     
     
    Since I am too old to Trick or Treat, then by reading this blog entry, you have just agreed to give me half of your candy.

    Today I'd like to introduce a new feature to my blog: Internet Junk of the Week. This is where I will post random, pointless, stupid (and site appropriate) garbage that I stumble across on the internet. Today we have a demotivational poster:

    The Conduit

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Last week I bought the Conduit for the Wii. Looks like we finally have a developer thats taking the Wii seriously.
     
    Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone here plays it online. I've already posted my codes in the Wii friend code topic, but nobody else there has posted codes for the Conduit. If you play the Conduit over Nintendo WFC, please add me (And PM me if you do!)
     
    Game: The Conduit
    Code: 2665-0145-6718
    Name: Serpent
     
    Edit: I think that I should probably add that I do not have a Wii Speak...

    Axalara

    By Serpent of Fire,

    So I was in WalMart today, and happened to find Axalara marked down to $32. Since I hadn't bought the set yet because of the price, I could not let the opportunity pass me by. So I bought ti.
     
     
    Wow.
     
    I have not spent that much time building a set since I got Muaka and Kane Ra back in 2001. I spent about 2 hours building it. It was a great set to build. While the functions aren't as great as the ones in the early years, they are still a neat little feature that makes the build a whole lot more fun.

    I spent a sizable portion of my day today doing some MoCing, and I am very pleased with the results. First, the old MoC, Toa Attei, has undergone it's final round of modifications. I am officially done working on it, considering its not really much of a self moc anymore since I changed my name.
     
    I'll be posting Toa Attei in a topic in the near future, but it won't be the main attraction of the topic. Toa Attei will appear alongside... something else. Something big. I hope you like silver.
     
    I really hope you like silver...
     
    Also, yesterday, I built a Dark Mirror version (Revamp) of Kopaka Mata. Expect to see that soon...

    I finally got around to entering My entry in the latest BBC contest.
     
     
    I've also managed to get a hold of the Mata Nui set (Two actually, I wanted the Keetorange pieces. And a spare Ignika). Despite a few flaws in the set's proportions, its a great set. Get it if you can.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    *I just realized that this is my third blog entry in a row to have BBC 54 in the title.

    Bbc 54

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Have there really been 54 BBC contests? Wow.
     
    Anyway, check out the BBC Contest 54 Topic if you haven't already. Anything goes in this one, as long as there's no system. I can't wait to see what people come up with. Deadline is June 16.
     
    My entry is almost finished, I just need to go back to it in a few days to check to see what small changes need to be made and refine it a little.
     
    And no, its not a humanoid.

    The last few traces of my old screen name (Attei) have gone away. The At-Sign HQ is now shut down.
     
     
    This is the Serpent's Den. Welcome to my lair...
     
     
    I've also moved my content blocks to the left side of the screen, and reduced their width to 200 pixels (Formerly 250 pixels). Since I don't really get that many comments, I've set the comments so that they no longer need to be approved by me to be posted. I'll probably change that back at some point in time.
     
    Thats it for now, unless you want to be stay for dinner.

    The Skrall

    By Serpent of Fire,

    Finally got a Skrall today. Canister sets haven't been this good in a while. As I was putting it together I noticed that the helmet and shield have kind of a rocky texture in places. It looks pretty good standing next to Atakus and Kithnar.
     
     
    I'm definitely going to have to get Tuma and Stronius, when it comes out.

    So the forums are back online. I'd like to give a big thanks to the staff for their hard work.
     
    Some topics couldn't be restored though, but at least nobody lost their accounts. Luckily the Wii Friend Code Topic, however, if you posted your codes after August 2008, you will need to repost them because they did not survive the downtime.
  23. Serpent of Fire
    So with the teaser for the new Bionicle movie being on the front page, I thought I'd take a screenshot...
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I gotta say, I really like the way the sets were made for this movie better than the others. This one stays true to the sets, unike the last three movies.
