  1. If I were to describe what eventually made me lose my interest in Bionicle, that text would most likely look an awful lot like yours. I did enjoy the early stages of the Metru Nui saga - the spiritual quality was greatly subdued and the tribal feel went right out the window, but there was still enough mythicality to go around; the near-religious reverence for the Great Spirit; elemental powers were still elemental powers and not another technology fangle; and let's not forget Energized Protodermis (can you say, "Virtue of Destiny manifest"?). I suppose I simply have a flair for reading fantasy elements into the most determined futuristic setting. The fact that the ferocious Rahi turned out to be the Makuta Brotherhood's test tube babies rather than indigenous animals was a let-down. The fact that Greg decided to go to town with that Kanohi of Dimensional Gates yet had it end up a cheap plot device was a disappointment. The fact that we now have an infinite number of alternate realities to mix and match wits with was what finally turned Bionicle on its head. Also, Lots And Lots Of Characters. Adaptation Decay. :annoyed2: The Big Bad's ultimate defeat? Dropped A Moon On Him. There are a lot of things, especially in the final years, that could've been presented much better, written much better, plotted and fleshed out much better, hadn't they had the constant requirement to keep Bionicle a marketable toy line. And that became its demise. But there will always be Fanon. And we will always remember the Templar flashimations with the greatest fondness. --Tuan
  2. My Kal are all sleeping away the eons, prettily wrapped up in their canisters ... =3

    Update

    There is no sky. ♥
  5. The Dethroning Moment Of Suck and Wall Banger tropes at work. Weep blood, ye who enter. Dork Age or not - Your Mileage May Vary wether or not Bionicle did well and truly Jump The Shark on some of these "revelations". I must admit that the Bohrok thing is rather off-putting. ... Fanon to the rescue!!
  6. Let's all pray by Algalon's undying gaze that this new Bionicle fellow won't take overly many clues from his cross-fandom-dimensional counterpart's most recent enactments ...
  7. I desperately want a GameCube so I can play Twilight Princess. The only console I own is an original Nintendo 64, the only game I own is the original Ocarina of Time, all bought brand new twelve years ago, and I still haven't finished it. How's that for video gaming sadness? T___T
  8. I seriously can't help but think that you might have answered your own question right there.
  9. Dare I even ask what this is about ...?
  10. It's crazy, right? It feels like a past life since one first set foot in here and was all googly-eyed at the shiny Premier Members and went on squeeing binges when someone you really really looked up to replied to one of your posts and hid underneath the desk when there was a moderator browsing the same topic list and nooby stuff like that. And meeting all these awesome people! Like you! *hugsquiz* Hapee birthdae.
  11. Buggerall you people. Right when I had consoled myself with the fact that I can't afford going. There will be photos. There had better be.
  12. There is a canon Ga-Matoran in the MNOLGII who wears a medium blue Matatu. The weaver in the eastern half of the village. *checks the BS01 wikia* ... right. Shasa. How's that?
  13. ... I think I do have that chrome Hau. But I ain't letting it go. Also, boo failing budget that keeps me from going to BrickFair '10. ;_;
  14. Oh good gracious you staff people are so fun when you get going like that.
  15. ... nothing quite like watching the Empress go on a highly focused ranting spree. Continue rockin' this joint, Your Majesty.

    Save Me

    ... that ... that is ... that's just BAD. I mean, really, really, BAD. *died*

    To Be

    "Farmville" also happens to be a supposedly fairly addictive and at this point somewhat widespread Facebook application game. You grow your own farm and keep it singing, basically. For the record, I don't play.
  18. That just might be the most perfect human depiction of Helryx ever. The age, the unfathomable knowledge, the power, and the complete and utter lack of compromise in everything she does.
