    Contest Entry

    By Brappy Hour,

    Entering my first contest ever, with my first real MOC ever.
     
    Entry Name: Shadow Strider
     
    Additional info: Has two different transformations. Biped, and Strider.

    You guessed right. I was able to get Corroder and Meltdown today.
     
    I'm definitely not liking the sets of stickers you have to put on them. It also seems that they all have the same torso. Not that it's bad, but it just got a bit tiring. We had a dozen different torsos from 2009. Also, their only main weapons are their "Comet Blasters". It seems though that Thunder has a weapon function. Which is just opening and closing his hand.
     
    I'm wondering why Xplode is the only villain to have hands. The rest have those blocky things that you can attach different things to make a weapon or a part of armor.
     
    Lots of the same leg builds and arms are present as well. The Ben 10 leg joints are there as well as the new parts that of course make their debut with Hero Factory.
     
    When you look at them. They look pretty small compared to last years sets. I think it was a terrible thing of LEGO to do to make the boxes huge so you wouldn't think twice on spending $13 for a build-able action figure. But it's advertising and business. Blah blah blah.
     
    Anyway. They were fun to build, even though each cost $13. Geez.
    What I'm hoping to try is a Hero or the Limited Edition set with Duncan Bulk and Vapor.
     
    Dang it. I still need to make a BrickFair entry.

    Custom Bone Hunter

    By Brappy Hour,

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 
    I thought it would be fun to create a tribe of Bone Hunters. And here's what I came up with. I made them like Fero, but obviously gave them a different helmet as well as a second sword. So as to be similar to the movie versions as well. There are more of course, but I need certain parts to complete them. Also, some have Glatorian hands, but those are harder to find.
     
    P.S. - No. I didn't spend a ton of money. I get the parts I need from the trades I conduct in the Trading Forum.

    Deep Thoughts

    By Brappy Hour,

    When I think of words to describe myself, I try to think of truthful answers. Respectful, Honorable, Fair, and whatever else may come to mind. Of course there are also negatives. Some say that I am negative myself, and may have a tendency to complain. Fair enough. Close friends and family also tell me that I don't give myself enough credit for my accomplishments and achievements.
    Why? I feel that if I took too much pride in my success it may lead to awful things. Also, some say that I don't deserve what I have been given. I can't really do anything but to feel a bit discomfort in regards to that.
     
    I also have a great hatred for my jealousy. Jealousy for those who have great talent, are successful, and who are loved by many. I'm even jealous of my friends, which is an awful thing to do. I then tell myself of all the good things that have happened to me, and the gifts given to me by life.
     
    Lets use this blog forum as an example. Right now, I see myself as a serious person, maybe not. I can't think of any funny things to post, I don't have any wonderful poems or fancy artwork to post, or have snazzy comments to say. So I post my opinion and things that have happened to me. I feel so blaned and generic. It makes me feel like I'm being dumb just having a blog in the first place.
     
    I'm not trying to be depressing. This is just what happens sometimes when I, or even others are in deep thought.
     
    That's about it. Thanks for reading.

    Let me give you a little information about myself. I have problems, LOTS of problems. For some reason mostly in my brain. About 2-3 years ago I was diagnosed with epilepsy, a condition where one can have seizures. The ones I get are from exhaustion and from being at a high level of stress. It sucks. I do many things though to keep my condition at bay and live a normal life, and one of them I will share with you today.
     
    Mind Stimulation is one of my treatments, this helps relax my mind and fights anxiety. The way it's done is when you're hooked up to a fancy computer, that means it's just sensors silly puddied to your head. And the way the treatment works is that you play a somewhat type of game where you use concentration that allows the treatment to apply itself to you. The best part is that you use your mind to move objects forward and in other directions! An example is a Spaceship game I usually play, where you concentrate your thoughts and make the ship go through tunnels and reach destinations. Your movements and speed depends on the level of concentration you use.
     
    Well today I played a new game that I thought made the treatment a lot more fun and interesting. It was a racing game where you try to beat the other cars to the finish line. It's very similar to the Spaceship game, your levels of concentration makes the car go slow, fast, or even move at all. The graphics are good too, it's like playing a Playstation 1 game. It's more entertaining now that instead of going down corridors and tunnels constantly, you're battling against A.I. to see who gets to the finish line first. B)
     
    And that's why I wanted to tell everyone that I play Video Games using my mind.

    Excellent

    By Brappy Hour,

    I got Friday and Saturday off! I can finally rest. Play some games, and cash the paycheck I got today.
     
    Also going to hang out with my dad before he goes away to be the Scout Master for the 2010 Boy Scout National Jamboree.
     
    I'm definitely going to need to make a blog about BrickFair! I'm so nervous!

    Explanation Now!

    By Brappy Hour,

    Time to explain for my last entry. Well an era long ago called the 90s, I was a huge fan of Power Rangers. I loved the Zord battles and also the epic monster explosions when they were defeated. I don't have much left from my Power Ranger phase, but when I found out they were releasing redesigned and more accurate versions of the original Megazords. I saw this as a opportunity to not only finally get the action figures that I always wanted, but to reminisce and remember the parts of my childhood I enjoyed the most.
     
    Also they're really cheap for some reason, so no complaints here. All we need now is the Dragonzord, and I'll be satisfied.
     
    So sorry for the random entry, and I'm thankful that The Power Has Returned.
     


    Oh yeah, might talk about the Halo stuff soon too.....

    The one thing I like to do more than collect official sets and masks, is collecting the parts to build official Bionicle cannon models. Searching for the pieces and viewing my progress over time is so amusing to me for some reason. I've built quite a few cannon sets that you may recognize if you saw them, and today I'm going to show you guys my newest one.

    Lol. Sorry for the bad picture quality, and the large size of it. (Need to learn how to change the size of the pictures.)
     
    Thank you Brickeens for providing pictures of the parts as well as detailed pictures of the model.
     
    Might even show more of what I've built later.

    Made another animation! This time shorter, but with blur affects! I'm adding affects to my first animation as well.
    Of course credit once again goes to InnerRayg for the sprites.

    The Reach Beta is Fantastic by the way. Lots of changes, and lots of fun to be had.

    Game Over

    By Brappy Hour,

    Yes. Last night I finally finished Endure. The last Vidmaster Achievement I needed. Now I'm sporting some Recon shoulders and have one hundred percent completion on Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST.
     
    I'd like to thank Potu, Jack of Blades, and of course Kiba. Who stayed up till twelve o'clock to help me get this headache of an achievement. I can't thank them enough.
     
    Best of all. I finished before the Halo Reach Beta starting Monday. It's going to be a blast.
     
    Who else is looking forward to Reach?
