    The Son also [MOC]s

    By Dorek,

    Been a while since I've MoCed. I haven't really improved. But I still had fun! Might as well use this space for assorted musings that I didn't want to clutter the topic with:
     
    *Placed a few Bricklink orders, but most surprisingly was just stuff from my collection.
     
    *Crown was I guess vaguely inspired by Game of Thrones? Wanted something ornate but not too over the top. Taller than I expected, given that, but I still like it.
     
    *Weapon was meant to be either A. way more complex, or B. a reference to his original 2003 staff, but neither ended up happening. Laziness! There was also a shield, but didn't like the final product, so I ditched it.
     
    *Also super happy with the waist, in particular; it's got the spin, and the hip pads were a fun choice.
     
    *Piston legs are completely unnecessary, I just wanted that as an homage to 2006-2009 titans, and it was interesting getting them to work with the Unity piece (that I just covered up, ugh).
     
    *The butt area is unfinished. Conveniently, cape!

    Hey kids (or not, since kids get the magazine). Want to read that BIONICLE magazine insert in a high quality PDF version? Me too! So did LEGO, apparently, since they put up a listing for the digital version.
     
    The catch? They uploaded the wrong file! Lovable scamps. Star Wars is great and all, but they also have a separate listing for that insert (and no, it doesn't have the BIONICLE file).
     
    However, this was also like two weeks ago and they haven't changed it since. I emailed them about it and got the standard "we'll forward your complaints to the right department" nonsense. So more people should email them about fixing the file, because I want that PDF. Go on. Do it.
     
    Thanks!

    Gimme dat loot

    By Dorek,

    Pseudo-traditional gift posting:
     
    *DualShock 4 - Magma Red (imported at the same price as a normal one, if you can believe it; there's a scam in there somewhere)
    *DS4 Charging station (because I'm lazy and they have terrible battery life)
    *Books! Too many to list, but a Robert Ludlum novel and Amy Poheler's newest book spring to mind
    *iPhone charging cables (yes, plural; these tend not to last...)
    *ALL OF THE CANDY AND CHOCOLATE
    *Oh and a new computer
    **Also Microsoft Office which I was unreasonably excited about because it's been forever since I've used a proper word processing system
     
    Wasn't expecting the new computer, but I definitely needed one. Still haven't set it up yet, though; too busy setting up my dad's new soundbar, which is half for me anyway

    Whew

    By Dorek,

    So they restocked a few Kingdom Hearts 3d: Mark of Mastery editions in Amazon, so I decided that I should snag one. Free shipping and the like, and if worst comes to worst, they are pretty generous with their return policy. Regardless, it is something I'd like to have, even if that case doesn't work for the XL =P.

    Happy Christmas

    By Dorek,

    Or Merry, or whatever unfathomable adjective synonym can be used appropriately without slaughtering the meaning.
     
    I just like the way Happy sounds. Not to mention everybody in my family goes "HAPPY CHRISTMAS HARRY" to which I respond: "I'VE GOT PRESENTS".

    I'll Root Your Canal

    By Dorek,

    So apparently I have a root canal. It's one of those things that makes perfect sense scientifically, but when it's happening to you, it's "oh dear god how is this actually possible paaaaaain".

    Her Name Is Alice

    By Dorek,

    (best song on the album, the rest of which sucks, but not the point of this blog entry)
     
    Saw Alice in Wonderland tonight. It was really good, better than what I was expecting given the mixed reviews. The acting was amazing, and the interactions between the characters worked very well. Johnny Depp was totally boss, and was pretty darn convincing as an absolute whacko.
     
    The visuals were also fantastic. Nothing earth-shattering like Avatar, but it definitely matched Tim Burton's creepy psychadellic post-70's vision. Didn't see it in 3D; the ladyfriend tells me it sucked, so I guess I'm not missing anything. What'd you guys think of the 3D?
     
    All in all, the celebrity performances, stunning CGI-work, and overall story telling make it a great movie. I recommend.

    All Talk

    By Dorek,

    All Talk
    Mudvayne
    Mudvayne
     
    Where will you be when it all falls down?
    Where will you be when it all comes back around?
    Where will you be at the end of our days?
    Just following the footsteps let the liars lead the way
     
    I could talk about love, I can talk about hate,
    I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
    I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face,
    I could talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway
     
    Who will you blame?
    Who will you blame?
    Who will you blame?
     
    Who will you blame for the soot-filled days?
    Who will you blame for the hurricanes and tidal waves?
    Who will you blame for the riots and the anger?
    And just cryin' in the corner wishing you would have had a say
     
    I could talk about love, I can talk about hate,
    I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
    I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face,
    I could talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing anyway
     
    Like a monster hides in your closet
    It's creeping closer but we don't care
    Are we all insane?
    If it's just a game, well I don't want to play...
     
    I could talk about love, I can talk about hate,
    I could try to teach a lesson but I doubt it penetrates,
    I can give you all excuses till I'm blue in my face,
    I could talk about serenity, but it doesn't mean a thing
    I could talk about problems, I can talk about sin
    I could talk about trial, but what do we really win?
    I could talk about forgiveness, though I'd probably be condemned
    Or I can talk about!

    It's mostly my own fault, but whatever. Apparently my account was actually linked to a friends email, so his account is the one that's been getting all my trophies.
     
    Ah well. I've been meaning to go back and replay BioShock anyhow, before the sequel. And this gives me an excuse to start Assassin's Creed II from the beginning (I had gotten a little into it when a friend brought it over, and now I have the game for myself :3)
     
    Still somewhat obnoxious though.
