    Great work, Turakii.

    Kongu Inika Review

    By DudeNuva,

    That's right, viewers. I'll be reviewing Kongu Inika, through a full, lenghy review.
     

     
    The Can:
     

     
    The canister is the same style as all of the ones we've seen through the staff reviews of Matoro, Jaller and Hewkii. This one has a Metru-Green cap, Kongu's sword, the blue zamor, and an awesome picture of Kongu himself on the front. Fairly simple, and my favorite part has to be the lightning.
     

     
    The back has a close-up of Kongu, a picture of Voya-Nui, and small portraits of the other Toa Inika.
     

     
    However, the most interesting part of the canister tends to be the top, which boasts a rack full of four blue-shaded Zamor Spheres and the light-up sword. This piece is actually two pieces, one being the green outer covering, and the other being a black base that holds these items.
     
    The Pieces:
     

     
    This shot is basically of all the pieces included in the set, ranging from his Kanohi Suletu, Mask of Telepathy, to his silver-tainted armor and feet.
     

     
    Some old pieces we've seen before; the two-socket connecters and the one-socket connectors. The two-socket connectors, however, never came in Metru-Green before.
     

     
    Some more familiar pieces, though these are harder to find; a Zamor Launcher, two Metru lower legs, and a Metru lower body.
     

     
    These pieces are entirely new. We have the two feet, which are primarily Metru-Green tainted with silver. We have the body piece, which resembles the Piraka torso. We have the two lower legs; these, however, are quite interesting, as they are the first to have a knee guard built in. This limits any unrealistic beinding, and adds a nice effect. Lastly, we have the chest armor, which consists of a swirl of green and silver.
     

     
    The new silver pieces; two shoulder armor pieces, two upper leg armor pieces, and Kongu's laser crossbow.
     

     
    Here we see Kongu's Zamor spheres, and the silver Zamor 'cage'. I especially like this piece, which holds all of the spheres in place. Though sometimes, the top one falls off, so be careful when tilting Kongu.
     
    In addition, the cage creates a top hold, thus surrounding the sphere in the launcher bay. Previously with the Piraka, the sphere was surrounded only by the sides and bottom. With the added top support, the sphere then shoots in a straight line until brought down by drag. To quote Dr. B:
     
    "This means you can shoot Vezok 3 times in exactly the same spot and give him one heck of a black eye."
     
    Which I ought to try...
     

     
    And the most questionable pieces of all; the 'blob' and Kongu's Suletu. Most seemed to either love or hate the 'mask on blob' concept immediately. I tended to like it. The mask fits comfortably upon the blob, which others were not so sure about.
     
    The Set:
     
    Here are some pictures in the building stages:
     

     

     

     
    Kongu's build is simple and straightforward. Though I must comment on the color scheme. I've seen Jaller and Matoro, both with a scheme of having the element colored armor and secondary-colored joints. On Kongu, this is the opposite, which had me a bit disappointed.
     
    I got over it after the set was done.
     
    Overall:
     

     
    Kongu is an awesome set, and very fun to pose. His light-up sword, which I unfortunately couldn't snapshot, is incredibly bright. Though as it's the same as Matoro's, just take Tom Dracone's say and pics. It's awesome.
     
    Therefore, I conclude that Kongu Inika is an awesome set. From the laser crossbow to the rapid-fire Zamor Launcher, I say that he's definitely worth it.

    I Got Kongu Inika!

    By DudeNuva,

    Guess what? Today, I bought Kongu Inika, and he's awesome!!!
     
    That is all.
     
    (snoring) Wha-? Is he done? That moron's been going on about the cheap piece of plastic ever since he got it.
     
    But it has a light up sword!
     
    Oh, so now they're stealing my weapon ideas? Okay, kid, get out of this Blog and on with your plastic, it's my Blog, remember?
     
    Yeah, whatever.
     
    Good. Now, where shall I start? :wakeup2:
     
    Okay, then. Today, we discovered a new species of the planet Uranus. It's actually kind of sickly, and after taking a look at Toa Kongu's mutated mask, I have decided that they look like each other. Somewhat disgusting.
     
    As soon as you humans finally get space-traveling technology, I suggest to move to a different system before the Uranians sue for appearance ideas. Though I've no idea why anyone would even want to steal that design. (shudders)

    My New Game!

    By DudeNuva,

    I can't believe I let that DudeNuva steal an entry from me. That's not honor...able-ful.
     
    Anyways, I was looking through the Galactic Internet when I saw something from this planet!
     
    A new game, with me as a LEGO! For some reason, I've always wanted to be a LEGO. BTW, don't you guys here at BZP really like LEGO Bricks, right?
     
    Anyways, it's a game for most platforms, and it's really cool. I can't ait to get it and play through all the levels with me in it!
     
    By the way, we have my Super Star Destroyer docked on Neptune, and as soon as the game arrives in September, we'll get it! That means I'll be here for a long time... MUAHAHAHHAA!!!

    Vader's in his meditation thingy right now, so I can tell you about what happened 10 minutes ago.
     
    Okay, I was making this sundae thing; with ice cream, and Reeses topping. You know, that bottle of chemically altered Reeses chocolate that freezes itself it under a minute?
     
    Anyway, it says to shake the bottle upside-down for thirty seconds. I started shaking it...
     
    ... About 15 seconds into it, the cap popped open, and that stuff came piling out in my hands. And, as the bottle says, it froze quickly. Really quickly.
     
    That stuff sticks to ice cream like tape. Make a mental image of that, and replace the sweet stuff with my hand. It took, like, 5 minutes to chisel it off.
     
    And in conclusion, kids; always make sure the cap is tight before shaking it obnoxiously.
     
    Comments and taunting laughs are welcome.

    Lego Star Wars 2!

    By DudeNuva,

    Vader said I could do this one, as long as it somewhat involved him.
     
    Anyway, I was looking around the Net, and I found this!
     
    A Mini-site for LEGO Star Wars II!
     
    I'm very excited abuot all of the things it says here, and can't wait until the game is released this fall!

    Hurrah For Me!

    By DudeNuva,

    Hello again, BIONICLE fans... I have a few questions:
     
    Wait! You said you'd let me talk for a few minutes!
     
    Oh, fine. Go ahead. You have three minutes. I'm timing you.
     
    Have a clock hidden in that fiberglass armor, Vader?
     
    Maybe. Two minutes.
     
    Eek! Well, let's go to it!
     
    1.) For anyone who reads this, please post in DNComics V1.0!
     
    2.) The polls for S&T have started, and are the last section in CO. Remember to get there and vote for your favorites!
     
    Tha'ts enough.
     
    Now then, to the interesting parts... :wakeup2:
     
    Last night, I led my legion of troops unto an abandoned planet. There, we found the remnants of a Rebel Base! But... it was just remnants. So, we're in the same situation we've been in; looking for the Alliance.
     
    Laugh and I kill you.
     
    Well, this is fun! Maybe those two guys will come back with their pet pickle and reply again!

    Comic-making

    By DudeNuva,

    I just started making something called DudeNuva's Comics Version 1.0. I hope it'll be more successful than my other comics.
     
    So, have any of you guys ever made comics of any type?
     
    BTW, I encourage you all to visit Onuki's Blog, Ticheli Land, and help it in its quest for Blog of the Week!

    Victory!

    By DudeNuva,

    Hello, friends of DudeNuva. I have finally succeeded in overthrowing the Blog, so you'll be seeing some changes around here. The first!
     
    I have changed the name to...
     
    The Star Destroyer!
     
    Sorry; I had Tarkin come up with the name. It stinks. *Tarkin gives Vader the thumbs up*
     
    Also, I had some new content boxes installed. The first of which is a Recommended Blogs box, and the second is, I have recolored the links in Quick Links. We'll also be making a new picture...
     
    So, have fun in the new blog, and remember; one wrong step, and you'll be vaporized atom by atom!
     
    -DV-
  11. DudeNuva
    I'd like to --ow-- congratulate Onuki for his --ow-- achievement of becoming the Blog of the Week --ow-- #4 champion! Ow.
     
    Sorry. I just got bricked three times in my CKH Comics topic. It hurt. Especially the second time.
     
    See the last post. It's what I get for making a brick at a lame pun. OW.
     
    ~DN~
     
    Oh yeah, and, TMN is co-writing DN's Comics, too. OW.

    Happy 4th!

    By DudeNuva,

    For those of us who are Americans, let's all celebrate Independence Day!
     
    O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
    What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
    O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
    O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
     
     
    On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
    In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
    'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
     
    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
    A home and a country should leave us no more?
    Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
     
     
    O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
    Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation;
    Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
    Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    I'm Back!

    By DudeNuva,

    Well, I'm back. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. *Looks out and sees no one in crowd* Wah...
     
    Anyways, firstly, I'd like to congratulate Dlakii: the Turaga of Takanuva for his becoming Premier!
     
    Secondly, I've becoming my cowritership with Dlakii in the Continuing Adventures of Ahkmou. For those who like my style of writing Comedies, or want something new, check it out!
     
    Lastly, CKH Comics is back from the dead again, so for those who missed them for a whole 3 weeks, go check it out and see the slightly scary edition to Featurettes!
     
    Hm... Darthy hasn't stolen my Blog yet.
     
    Darth Vader: With this army of CyberTroopers, I shall take over this virtual fortress!
     
    Oh, crud... *Runs*
  14. DudeNuva
    *sniff* No one's com since the last entry that normally comes. But I'm glad TMN's back, anyhow.
     
    Darth Vader: TMN? Is that the guy that was making fun of me earlier? *Takes out lightsabre* What does the T and the M and the N stand for? Why's he completely green? Why-
     
    Aren't you shutting up? I don't know that answer.
     
    Neither do I- hey! You tricked me! Feel the wrath of the Dark Side!!!!!! I WILL destroy you!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
     
    When we he ever learn? *Turns on flashlight*
     
    NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! *Grabs a conveniently placed carrot* That's all, folks!
     
    Oh lol, oh lol, oh lol...
     
    --------
     
    Anyways, I have a few production updates about all of my enterprises.
     
    Firstly, I have joined my good friend, Sir Toa Matau Nuva, under the name of Silver Saber Studios. I'll now be writing stories for him under SSS, as well as write them independently myself for DN's Library. CKH will be neutral in this area, because he helped me out a lot, and a previous agreement puts CKH partly under the Silver Saber name.
     
    CKH Comics have been revolutionized in the making, in ways that will make churning out comics much easier. The first of these is that I've learned how to make speech and narration bubbles, which will save the trouble of trying not to put words and backgrounds of the same contrast together. This feature will take hold at Comic 9 and on forth. The second is that my friend, Dlakii: the Turaga of Takanuva, is currently creating backgrounds for my comics for the Koros of Ga-Koro, Ko-Koro, Onu-Koro, and Po-Koro. Now I shall have all Koros.
     
    CKH is coming out of the dark period of temporary closings and overdue comics that was previous in its life.
     
    I'll also announce two new PGSs and one new GS. Dlakii has renewed his slot as a PGS of the Comics, Joining the permanent cast is my cousin, whom you know as Trey. And lastly, Skye Green's Quest to Guest has expanded into the realm of CKH, as he has a GS spot now.
     
    Sir TMN will be joining the GS ranks soon enough as well, as he had a previous GS request that filled in after Dlakii's old one.
     
    Thus concludes my Crazy Koro Happenings News. Now, come on over to my place and gimme your thoughts!

    Here Goes Nothing!

    By DudeNuva,

    Well, here we go. I may as well try to make a Blog.
     
    Well, BZPower, this is my new Blog. Yippee. Where you can listen to me drone on about what I feel like droning on about.
     
    Nah, hopefully it'll be fine, but by all means, if it goes horribly wrong, feel free to start throwing your tomatoes.
     
    Now, let's see. I'd like to thank Turakii #1 Lavasurfer for helping me create this blog, 'cause without him, I would be clueless as to what to do.
     
    Okay, let's get it on. Whether you realizd it or not, you've just listened to my droning for about 5 minutes!
     
    --------
     
    Well, I'm extremely excited; tomorrow is my last day of school. And once it's over with, I ge to slack off aaallllllllll summer long! It'll be great, because I have a house at the beach with a pool and condos and stuff.
     
    It'll also give me time to concentrate more on my BZP writings, the center of which can be found here. I'm currently on a severe writing spree, and on my standards, they don't ease up for about a month.
     
    At the present time, I have nothing else to talk about, but I do know what to do with Blogs now!
     
    *Dons an army helmet*
     
    Keep your battlements set for tomatoes, 'cause me might be gettin' a lot!
  16. DudeNuva
    Darth Vader: Ah, so I see you took my advice and came to DudeNuva's Fortress. You are all fools. If you watched my movies, you'd know I trick lots of people, and you as well. I tricked you into coming. Now, I will use the power of the Dark Side-
     
    *Someone lights a candle*
     
    AAAHHH!!! It burns!!!!
     
    Silly Vader! Diabolical tricks are for smart people, not iron-lung villains! If you watched your movies, you'd see you got yourself killed!
     
    Did not! I was a hero!
     
    In case you haven't noticed, this is MY blog.
     
    Oh yeah.
     

     
    --------
     
    Anyways, enough skits. Time for today's bloggerific entry!
     
    Okay, so today was my last day of school, and now I'm free to goof off all summer. I plan to use this summer for many things:
     
    1.) Continuing my unslaught of stories.
     
    2.) Making my first-
     
    You weren't supposed to tell them about that.
     
    Shut up, Vader.
     
    But he's right, I wasn't going to tell you that. Anyway:
     
    3.) Making more LEGO Star Wars diaramas. In case you don't know, check out my Brickshelf for a full-scale Star Destroyer starship hangar. I'm planning more things in that area.
     
    4.) Growing my collection of LSW minifigs and 2006 sets.
     
    And that's pretty much all you have to know.
     
    Thus ends today's entry that was half-hearted.
     
    Didn't sound half-hearted.
     
    Time to do my workout video! 1, 2, 3, 4,-

    Fire!

    By DudeNuva,

    Did you know it's illegal to say that in theatres?
     
    ...
     
    Yeah, that was my random fact for today.
     
    For those of you who were expecting actual entertainment, go here instead. Plus, if you reply, I'll give you a cookie.
     
    Nah, not really.

    Ac13

    By DudeNuva,

    I finished my AC13 entry draft; I'm not sure if I'll be making changes after this, but I won't be entering it yet.
     
    Here it is: entry draft.

    I just got Barraki Kalmah, and I'm telling you, this guy doesn't disappoint! His head design with the three eyes is really cool, and the two tentacles, when measured together, are 14 inches long!
     
    So now I'm entertaining myself with duels between Ehlek and Kalmah.
     
    On a completely different note; I expected BZP to be vacant because of the Super Bowl, but I guess the members here just don't like football.
     
    The Colts are up by two now, so I'm gonna get back to the game. Seeya later.

    The Dreaded "school"

    By DudeNuva,

    Well, I've been back to school for two days...
     
    ...and I'm ready for another vacation.
     
    I may be only on once every two days from now on, excluding weekends. But I regret to inform you that another temporary-restriction may come to me again. Something just happened and I may be kept away.
     
    So, if I'm not online by Friday, assume that this happened, okay?
     
    ~DudeNuva~
  24. DudeNuva

    Update!

    By DudeNuva,

    Things are going better and more smoothly. I may be allowed return by after this weekend. But not sure, though.
     
    I apoligize for not answering any PMs prior to my departure. I'll try to get back to everyone as soon as possible.
     
    Wish me luck.
