    Pirates!

    By DudeNuva,

    I finally saw Dead Man's Chest yesterday, and it was an awesome movie. But I still can't believe how they're going to make the third movie if jack got eaten by a Kraken. O_o
     
    Anyway, it was really good.
     
    I like those moments... I like to wave at them as they pass by...

    Fun With Liquid Nitrogen!

    By DudeNuva,

    Caution: Do not read if you have severe thrill issues.
     
    You have been warned.
     
    To start off this entry, I'll say one thing; my science teacher is awesome.
     
    We were experimenting with liquid nitrogen today, the hypercooled gas that makes up most of our atmosphere. He poured some into a glass, then put some random things in there to see its effects on the objects.
     
    The hot dog turned into glass. He dropped it onto the table and starting randomly peting slabs of beef at us.
     
    But let's not get into that...
     
    He also froze a water balloon, a superball, his water bottle, and lots of others.
     
    Then he told us all to go out into the hallway for the best part. He actually dmped the whole tank of nitrogen out into the hallway, where it flooded the whole hall with the gas and made everyone in the other classes scream "Oh my gosh, it's a fire! " Then we laughed when they came outside and saw it was us.
     
    That's it, really.
     
    Oh, and in LA, I wrote this story about a guy named Mr. Greene, who was interviewing another guy. My friend said to add more life-like stuff to the story, to replace all the dialogue. So I randomly put in this:
     
     
    Suddenly a teacher burst in to the room. "Mr. Greene, your son just died!"
     
    "Hold on, I'm in the middle of an interview!"
     
    --
     
    Other parts like birds flying into windows and cars crashing into trees were later put in.
     
    That was my random fit for today, now take your laughter and go. :wakeup2:

    Remember...

    By DudeNuva,

    This entry dedicated to all of the brave souls who helped during the crisis of 9/11, and to all the victims of the horrible incident. We salute you.
     
    Log 9/11:
     
    I woke up with the meory of one of the greatest dreams I've ever had. Or for all I know, the greatest I can remember. All the same, it was wonderful.
     
    Of course, it was something that couldn't happen in the real world, unless by very careful planning or by sheer coincidence.
     
    But that in itself is what makes dreams so great. They take you to a world that's entirely your own, where anything can happen. A place where everything is happy, and it all goes according to plan. Where you can fly to the tallest heights, go to the greatest lengths...
     
    And when you wake up, you wish it were reality.
     
    ...
     
    The dream was actually one of the ighlights of my day. What do you expect; it's Monday morning.
     
    School was entirely normal. I'm glad to say that I'm getting used to it.
     
    So I found my self sleepwalking into my first class, German... Guten Morgen, Frau WhateverYourNameIs... I'm ready for the only class that's actually interesting on some levels...
     
    And then the rest of the day was so boring that you should consider it an act of mercy that I'm not blogging it.
     
    ...
     
    When I got home, I got to spend some time with Trai. That was fun.
     
    I finally cleaned up my basement, too. A few days ago, it appeared that a bomb hit it, and I dreaded to clean up. There were Lego bricks, container lids, magazines, and tons of other stuff. Mainly the remains of my attempt at an entry for LGD Contest 4. Which I never got done.
     
    Speaking of entries, I finsihed drawing my Ac12 entry. Now all I have to do is color. But I now face a critical error; my camera is dead.
     
    Now I have to find someone I know with a scanner before my entry goes to waste. >_<
     
     
    Yeah, that's pretty much it. I'm now working on a reviwe for Hahli Inika, so stay tuned over the next few days.

    <insert Vader Music>

    By DudeNuva,

    Darth Vader: I am going to destroy DudeNuva. He has not included me in his AC12 entry like he promised.
     
    Dude, I never said you'd be in it. I said you would be somewhere inside here:
     

     
    That be my Death Star final sketch, matey. You like it?
     
    I think it's horrible. It has not I, nor the Emporer, nor my awesome spaceship.
     
    And one more thing; look forward to a MOC that will most definitely mark me as 'Obsessed With VeggieTales'!

    By DudeNuva,

    I'm going to start taking my Blog for what it's worth and actually write about my day. Matey.
     
    --------
     
    May day started out simple enough. Wake up at 8:30, look at the clock, and then roll over like nothing happened. The usual.
     
    When I came downstairs, I powered up Lappy, and then went for breakfast. After realizing that I wasn't hungry, I walked over to look at Matoro Inika for a few minutes, with my AC12 entry in mind.
     
    After getting on BZP, I read a message from Tahraau. It took me a while for me to notice his Onewa avatar. After it registered, my basic thought was:
     
    "OMG!!! That was today?"
     
    I quickly switched by av and banner and left Lappy.
     
     
    At about 10:00 I went for a bike ride. Overall it was kinda boring, except for the part when I rode my bicycle down a busy 4-lane bridge. In a lane. But you don't want to hear about that, or good ol' DN might get sued for being a bad influence.
     
    Then I took an involuntary bath after riding past the jetty on the other side of the bridge.
     
    Eventually I had to go back across, so I did the whole incident over again.
     
    The next few hours after my bike ride passed in boredom.
     
    Then I started working on my AC12 entry, finally. My preliminary sketch of the Death Star turned out very well for my expectations.
     
    Then I had a looooong 2-hour ride home, reading my book, and wondering whtat you'd all think about me riding a bike on a bridge after I told you about it!
     
    And here I am now. :wakeup2:
     
     
    Yep, that's it.

    ... of room.
     
    Greetings, fellow cool dudes of BZP.
     
    I know, I am cool. B)
    Curse these word filters. >_<
     
    Anyways, DN is going to make a crossover with me for AC12! I'll be a star!
     
    But we all know that Turakii is going to conquer with her Spork.
    Oh, you mean DJ Funkdaddy McSpork?
     
    No, don't even talk about that. O_o
     
    I feel like I'm getting ripped off of a Blog entry.
     
    Maybe you are.
     
    Nah, that can't be right.
     
    Right.
     
    Why do I feel like some kind of low-budget cereal-box comic?
     
    What do you expect, you're a Blog entry.
     
    Okay, I should end this entry before it gets stock lowerage. For all who care, I'm trying to enter AC12 and AC12b.
     
    What about-
     
    ~DudeNuva Ooh Ooh and Darth Vader!~

    I just thought of a game that will keep Blog-viewers entertained!
     
    Note: Uncanny resemblance to COT game included.
     
    Anyways, here's the game. I say a name relating to Bionicle, be it a character, location, object, etc.... for example, DudeNuva. Then you have to come up with a name beginning to the last letter of the last word in that term. For example, Avak.
     
    In the event we run out of names for a letter, I start the game over. But you have virtually all of Bionicle to work, so I highly doubt we'll run out.
     
    Understand?
     
    Okay, let the games begin! We'll start with...
     
    Garan!

    The Final Night

    By DudeNuva,

    Well, summer is over, so that means that we'll all have limited time on BZP. Unless you're lucky, like Turakii and Traku, whom both have homeschooling.
     
    Especially for me, it will be busy. It's 8th grade, which comes right before High School.
     
    Therefore, I'll have an extreme decrease in online activity starting on next Tuesday, which is the day after Labor Day. Starting now, I'll have a slowly decreasing activity rate.
     
    I have quite a few scheduling problems. I now realize I shouldn't have started half the things I've begun. :annoyed2:
     
    Firstly, relating to my schedule. I'll be online, if at all, at nighttime between 7 P.M. and 9 P.M. If not then, then not at all, but I'll try to get work done before then so that I can get here.
     
    Secondly, relating to my various enterprises. DNComics will be updated regularly every two days. I ask you to try and get there every few days and check for updates.
     
    Chronicles of Le-Koro will have a chapter posted, at the most, once every week. And the occasional one-post comedy may appear. For both, reviews would be desired.
     
    Additionally, I'll try to review your work as much as possible.
     
    Thirdly, PMs. I know some of us have a busy Inbox and/or schedule, but whether you do or not, please try to send me a PM before my online time each night so that I have something to look forward to.
     
    Meaning that if, persay, we had been talking the night before and either of us had to leave, just PM me once more during the next day or so to keep in touch. I'd appreciate it, especially from the people whose time is scarce or whose Inbox is cluttered.
     
    Fourth, on weekends, I'll be able to come on BZP longer, of course, but don't expect a major difference. There's always weekend homework, as we all must know.
     
    So that's it. Thanks for making this summer so much fun. Wish me luck in school; I wish you all luck, likewise. And keep in touch.

    Invincible

    By DudeNuva,

    Being the football fan that I am, I'm psyched about the new upcoming Disney film, Invincible.
     
    It's about a player of the Philadelphia Eagles football team, Vince Papale. Who, incidentally, actually grew up right near me!
     
    I can't wait to see it. It just has so many ties to my town's history, so I think it'll be awesome.
     
    Hm... what else can I use this entry for...
     
    Oh yeah, a not-so-public public service message! If you read this, stop by the Chronicles of Le-Koro for a new chapter, and DN's Comics for some new comics!
     
    Thank you for your time. *Hears crickets chirping*

    Remembering Cee...

    By DudeNuva,

    Cee Estee, one of the greatest members on BZP, left in a whoosh of his own memorable style, but creating a goodbye topic and a spam topic.
     
    Let's all spend a few minutes remembering the great deeds he did for us...
     
    We salute you. Ceeya, Cee.
     
    ~DudeNuva~
  19. DudeNuva
    Yeah, I did.
     

     
    It's a drawing of my friend, Turakii #1 Lavasurfer. I haven't drawn something in quite a while, so taken into consideration, this is a fair example of my skills.
     

     
    EDIT: And here's one of me!

    Yay Exo!

    By DudeNuva,

    Time for some shameless advertising!
     
    GO HERE NOW!!!
     
    And don't forget to post, because I'm too lazy and not interested enough in Sonic to do so!
     
    Oh yeah, one more thing.
     
    I THANK EXO CUZ I CAN
     
    After all, he's the one who thought up shameless advertising. (ugh, I feel so shameless...)

    Unfortunately, due to odd problems on my camera, I couldn't make a Nuparu review. But I was able, for some reason, to take videos.
     
    Thus, I filmed these:
     
    Failed Attempt
    Correct Attempt
     
    These are two videos of Nuparu's light-up sword. The first one never actually got a success, but it was too funny of a failure, and I didn't have the heart to delete it.
     
    Plus it has audio from myself yet again, some from Trai, and torrents of laughter from another cousin.
     
    The second actually has the intended material, but not without some mess-ups. Plus we have too much of Trai talking to be tolerated. But since we'd actually gotten it right this time, I had to go with it.
     
    Trai can be very annoying. O_o

    Seeing as the original topic died a short while ago, I've decided to create a topic within my blog to use for them now.
     
    It was a great shame that they had to be closed. But I think this "Entry/Topic" can serve as a worthy substitute. And it's better than a second topic, because here, I do the moderating.
     
    Anyways, guys; welcome to the new home base for CKH Comics.
     
    ____________________________________________________________________
     
    THE COMICS:
     
     
    2/3/06-Introductory Comic: This small 6-panel comic explains, to some extent, how I got on Mata Nui, thus beginning the Crazy Koro Happenings Era.
     
     
    SAGA 1: Makuta's New Influence:
    Makuta has a trick up his sleeve to destroy Mata-Nui from within, starting with the two most threatful Koro, Le-Koro and Ta-Koro. Can the airheads from both villages stop the plot?
     
    2/16/06-Comic 1: The Rahkshi's New Style: The start of a Le/Ta-Koro saga. Everything is normal when suddenly, Takua runns through Turaga Vakama and, attracting Tamaru, starts up this whole mess. Let's see it.
     
    3/11/06-Comic 2: Captured...: At the same time, Tamaru is, as always, up to no good. Kongu is about to put a stop to it when an urgent message comes from Ta-Koro, sucking both Matoran into the trouble. Meanwhile, Jaller lays in a prison cell, lonely, until a mysterious Turaga is thrown in with him.
     
    3/21/06-Comic 3: Siege: The two Turaga gather up a strike team of possibly the worst teammates from their villages to rescue Jaller from the clutches of the evil Makuta. Tahu, unfortunately, volunteers to go as well.
     
    3/28/06-Comic 4: Rescue and Retrieval: Breaking in, the resuce group breaks out Jaller and the Turaga, now known as the Turaga of Takanuva. Before they leave, however, they need to find answers as to why Makuta is doing all of this. ToT is acting suspicious; does he know the secret?
     
    4/5/06-Comic 5: Makuta's Escape: DN has already gotten down to the bottom of the mystery, and charges in to talk with Makuta. It'll take a lot of brainpower and strength to get out now; no one has ever escaped Makuta. The team must get out, before Makuta makes them permanent residents.
     
    4/23/06-Comic 6: The True Plot Revealed...: DN and ToT finally get together, putting their various puzzle pieces into place. But by the time they discover Makuta's real plan... it has already started.
     
    5/8/06-Comic 7: On the Offensive: The Matoran of Ta-Koro and Le-Koro barely have enough time before they're attacked by Makuta's shadows. Le-Koro gets overwhelmed by Nui-Rama and Makuta personally sees to the destruction of the fortress of Ta-Koro. It will take the power of 7 Toa Nuva and a Turaga of Light to save Mata-Nui.
     
    7/8/06-Comic 8: The Final Battle: As the battle of Ta-Koro draws to a close, Makuta arrives in the midst of the battlefield, blowing aside our heroes. Right on que, DudeNuva and Dlakii arrive and jump to meet him. The final battle between the three is about to take place!
     
    7/16/06-Comic 9: New Beginnings, Lost Friends, More Morons...: The battle is over, Makuta is defeated. But Turaga Dlakii is nowhere to be found. As the celebrations continue over the island, DudeNuva can't join them yet.
     
    7/24/06-BONUS COMIC: Dlakii's Assignment: Dlakii isn't dead. He actually landed in Lewa's Landing, which is conveniently the location of some long-lost friends...
     
    Featurettes:
     
    4/30/06-Tamaru's 5-Step Plan to Take Over Mata-Nui: This is what Tamaru would have done to dominate the island. He ws fortunately stopped after step 2, but he still built a few good teleporters before his plan was busted.
     
    6/28/06-On the Run from the Pony Man!: Pohatu severely scares General Greivous with a simple, if not scary, request. GG fans will hate Pohatu for eternity now.
    ____________________________________________________________________
     
    More to come. As I said, this is not the end.
     
    So, with that said, please use this entry for anything related to CKH Comics.

    New Looks

    By DudeNuva,

    I've updated my Blog with pictures to make it more fortress-like. They're screenshots from the Inika commercial, and I believe they make my Blog look a lot better.

    Matoro Inika Review

    By DudeNuva,

    You heard right; the second in my series of Toa Inika reviews!
     

     
    The Can:
     

     
    At a whopping nine inches tall, this canister is more like a Box than anything. That's what's very unique about these cans; they're larger that the sets themselves!
     
    The front of the box shows a portrait of Matoro standing in front of lightning and a chain-link fence.
     

     
    The back shows how Matoro's functions work, small portraits of the other Inika, and the safety warnings covering the bottom half of the back.
     

     
    And here's the top, displaying Matoro's four blue Zamoe spheres and his light-up ice blade.
     
    The Pieces:
     

     
    As I dump out the contents of the canister, I find plenty of new pieces, some classic older ones, and of course, Matoro's Iden.
     

     
    Matoro's secondary color is a cool ice blue, which goes along great with his white coloring, not to mention his sword and Zamor spheres.
     

     
    Here we see Matoro's Zamor magazine, two white Vahki legs, his shoulder armor, and the white lower legs and knee guards. You'll also see thigh armor up to the top left.
     

     
    Here's Matoro's feet. His feet are the spiky type, which is also included in Hewkii and Jaller. We also have the Metru lower body and a pile of smaller pieces.
     

     
    This is Matoro's Kanohi Iden: Mask of Spirit. Also, we have the blob which the mask attaches onto.
     
    Might I comment that Matoro's mask doesn't fit as neatly onto the Blob as Kongu's does.
     

     
    Here's all of the pearly-silver pieces in the set. Matoro's crossbar body, Zamor Launcher, Ice Blade, and Chest Armor.
     
    Building:
     

     
    The first surprise in this area is that the instruction manual doesn't have a horizontal picture of Matoro. It actually has a pan shot.
     

     
    A little way into the project, Matoro's body is done.
     
    Here's several more production pictures:
     

     

     

     
    That last image is Matoro's Zamor launcher. As said before, the Zamor magazine improves the shooting of the spheres. See the Kongu review for more details.
     

     
    Here's a last shot before we put on his mask and transform him into Matoro! (<Insert Vader breathing>)
     
    "Lord Matoro... Can you hear me?"
     

     
    Not onyl can that picture deliver a famous STAR WARS quote; it also gives you a closeup on Matoro's Iden.
     
    Playing:
     

     
    Matoro, as are all the Inika, is great fun to pose. He have a ton of flexibilty...
     

     
    ... Not to mention great balance, due to those huge feet of his.
     
    And the light-up sword and Zamor add even more interest and playing experience to this set.
     
    Overall:
     

     
    Matoro is possibly the coolest of all the Inika; not that I'd know. But thanks to his secondary color scheme and awesome blue elements, he can beat Kongu in any contest.
     
    Therefore, if you're going to get some Inika, I advise you to make Matoro one of them.
     
    Since you've all sat there nicely, I'll reward you with a surprise:
     
    Clicky!
     
    This may or may not work for you guys, but I hope you enjoy it if it does.
     
    Those close friends I have may have noticed 'Trai' in the background. And yes, that was him humming annoyingly, not me.
