  1. Maybe if you're just casually browsing. But if you're using it exclusively to help you find your way around your town/county/state, as I do, it can be as many different maps as you want it to be. I mean that literally, because I still don't have a smartphone, so every time I use the site I have to either print out a physical map or scribble down the directions on a piece of scrap paper.
  2. What I want: G3 sets being greenlit by Lego after the success of an official IDW comic series loosely inspired by G1.
  3. It'd have to be my lone Mctoran. I missed out on the McDonalds promotion (and really, the whole first three years of bionicle), so I never expected to actually own one. I nearly got my hands on an Onepu someone left at our church, but I can't recall what ever happened to him. Then, one year when I was a teenager, I bought a couple containers of mixed lego at a local yard sale. I dumped them out, and amidst the jumbled lego, megabloks, and other assorted garbage (yes, it was that kind of collection), I immediately noticed the Hewkii Mctoran relaxing in the center. He even had his disk!
  4. Tatorahk. Finally, he knows the answer: I do love him very much.
  5. Oh for the love of god, tell me that you're aware that Jacksfilms has just been trolling everyone. Even Sony knows this! That's why they invited him to the premier - so they could convince other people to go see it for the ironic lols, even though the movie is so awful that there isn't even any "The Room" kind of fun to be had. Also, having just seen Dunkirk myself today, I could not disagree with your review more. It's the best Nolan movie since Inception, and perhaps even the Dark Knight. I know that doesn't mean a lot to you, but it does to me.
  6. The MNOG does not follow all of the rules that Greg F. retroactively set for Bionicle. Another interesting example of this is the way it handles elemental powers. They are depicted as being directly channeled through their tools into the physical world. Tahu combusts the gasses in the air, Gali gathers moisture from the air, Kopaka chills the moisture in the air, etc. And the Toa most tied to the visible world - Onua and Pohatu - directly interact with the ground beneath their feet, creating earthquakes or kicking rocks. And when that isn't an option, such as when Onua challenged Lewa inside the Nui-Rama hive, they are forced to use melee combat and mask powers. They outright can not just manifest earth walls or stone boulders into existence from nowhere, because Toa power is a retcon. Ignoring the sets (and the MNOG) may have been the norm post-Mask of Light, but it's quite clear that they were far more closely aligned with the Bionicle canon in the early days of the franchise.
  7. No... I thought he was the villain.
  8. Because let's face it, this site isn't ever bouncing back.
  9. My wallet is completely broke next year.
  10. I think it's a mistake to lump in the glatorian heads with the heads that came afterwards in Hero Factory and Bionicle G2. See, the Glatorian heads on their own are easily the least useful of any constraction-based head, because they break so gosh-darned easily. The Brain attack heads and the G2 heads use the CCBS socket type that doesn't break, and thus they're comparatively way more useful in the long run. But, to answer your question: probably the 2004-2008 heads, AKA the toa metru heads.

    Uhhh

    The Turaga had faces on their feet. The Muaka / Kane-Ra had faces on their shoulders. Takanuva put his friend's decapitated face on the front of his bike. This dog's got nothing on them. I think out of all of them, Takanuva really needs an intermission or something. When had his big ol' growth spurt, he proceeded to kill two Barraki and wear their skulls on his shoulders. So much for the Toa code!
  12. If we have to go back to G1 in any way, a "remaster" is definitely not the answer. Rather, the approach should be akin to how the early Ultimate Spiderman comics rebooted the mythos of the Amazing Spiderman: same basic themes, some of the same characters, but a lot of retooling and refocusing - ditching everything that hasn't aged well or didn't even work the first time around. Also, it have to be infinitely better than the fanfiction I totally didn't post a first and only chapter of years ago. But seriously, give it up. Bionicle is not coming back, not after how badly G2 bombed. The theme just isn't viable from a commerical standpoint anymore. In fact, I'm doubting constraction as a whole has much of a place in today's market. We'll have the answer within a year or two, I'm sure.
  13. It already exists. But... it's a book, not a movie?
  14. .... hold on a minute, let refresh myself. Out of all the good batman films, you have.... Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Rises, Batman, Batman Returns, and The Adam West Batman. I..... suppose I could understand ranking The Dark Knight below all of these. Just please tell me you aren't ranking it below Batman Forever or Batman and Robin. Don't forget LEGO Batman, Mask of the Phantasm, and (debatable but still) BvS. You sure bet its debatable, In fact, I'll go on record as saying that I'd rather have bat nipples than whoever that Punisher ripoff was in Dawn of Injustice.

    Indeed. He's also the reason Dishonored's Tallboys look like Combine peacekeepers wearing Strider exo-skeletons.

    Split Affinity actually requires you to install only human and only typhon neuromods in separate playthroughs, so No Needles doesn't qualify for either. However, since Typhon Only would be The Worst, I went ahead and just saved at the very end of No Needles, completed it, came back, installed Mimic Matter and such, and then completed it again. A bit "unethical," sure, but I wasn't gonna play the game twice without the q-beam Honestly, I don't blame you, and I think that's what I'll probably do myself, if I ever get around to replaying the game. I have to beat it first, though - I've been taking my sweet time exploring every nook and cranny and completing side quests. I think Talos 1 might be the most engaging setting I've experienced in a video game since Half Life 2. Actually, having never played System Shock, a whole bunch of the game reminds me of the Half Life series - right down to the little test chamber in one area where you can use the Tau Canon... I mean... Q--Beam, on a contained headcrab ... ahem.... mimic.

    I doubt I'll ever get around to even doing a no human or no alien upgrades run, so mad props to you for foregoing them both. I'm curious though, does it give the achievements for all three (no human, no alien, no upgrades at all) if you do the latter type of playthrough? Or do you actually have to replay the game an additional time for each type of run?
  21. Personally, I'm holding in my rage until the movie comes out.. Because with Sony's track record as of late, there's a very reasonable chance that this movie could fail or at least under perform. Which would mean that Sony Pictures is still doomed, and thus there's no reason to be super angry.
  22. I loved it. Best Marvel sequel in a decade, not counting the Captain America movies. But I give James Gunn extra credit because he managed to do what Jon Faraveu and Joss Whedon failed to do. Regarding the villain:
  23. I will say that, from personal experience, USPS is not on my good list either. I've had at least one package physically handed to me ripped open and empty, which likely means it was lost or stolen by someone working at one of the distribution centers.
  24. I second Iruini's compliments. Not just because your linguistic creativity is awe-inspiring, but also because your highlighting of mounds of fantastic Bionicle fan-art has shown me that the Bionicle fanbase isn't dead after all. I guess I just assumed that because BZPower is on life support. It appears I've been out of the loop, 'cause I really don't do the tumblr thing. Maybe I should start though.
