    Archive

    By Taipu1,

    I hope the logging out thing with the archive gets changed at some point. I'm cool with opening the archive in a different browser when I'm searching for stuff, but when I click on a link in someones sig, it's quite annoying to find myself in the archive, and logged out of the forum...

    So I randomly went on Microsoft Paint, and randomly made this.
     
    Didn't think it warranted an art topic due to randomness, and generally not much Bionicle. Also not that great artwise.
     
    Anyway it's an island somewhere, similar to Mata Nui in terms of the island is separated into the areas of the elements, however this includes areas for all canon elements.the grey lines outline underground cave areas, village markers that appear within these caves are all below ground, with the exception of Le-Koro, although the cave beneath is part of the air territory.
     
    Maybe I'll make an epic, or short story about this place sometime, but I doubt it.

    The New Bzpower

    By Taipu1,

    To those who were regulars to my blog before the downtime (I wasn't aware of any, but I can live in hope when I type my blog posts), you will remember I had a semi-ellaborate image of a bookshelf in the content box on the right (it's in the style of the bottom image at the bottom with the RIP notice, or you can visit my maj gallery here). It was used to link to my various comedies and epics which I had done in the past, and not finished mostly. But a little publicity doesn't hurt for anything. Unfortunately with the new BZP, the bookshelf didn't put it's various image components together in the organised way, so I set about making it so it would work. Unfortunately, in doing so I had to recover the links to my works from the forum archive. In order to find these easily, I needed to sign in for the archive. Now it turns out, you can't be signed into both. No idea why, but it's annoying as it took me a long time to eventually come up with the much less semi-ellaborate library now on the right. This is due to when I submitted the entry, I had been signed out, because I had signed into the archive. No matter, BZP is eager to help and had saved the post in the form of a big block of code for me to copy and paste. And as far as I can tell this code was completely useless! The button in the top left of the new entry box allows you to enter code, but enter BB code, whereas the code I was given to paste was not BB code...
     
    I'm glad that BZPower is back, but at the same time, I miss the old one. Many would say (probably not those on BZP) that I'm now far to old for Bionicle, BZP or anything like that. And in some ways, I feel like I am older. I've had a look at some of my comedies, and I'd have to say that they don't do much for me anymore. Maybe I wasn't funny in the first place, but that's not for me to judge. My more recent work was epics, but I never had time to fulfil them to a conclusion. Not to mention they were full of typing errors, grammatical errors, and almost certainly plot and chronology errors. I haven't tried to get into Hero Factory, I hold an irrational hatred and think of it as childish, when I'm sure it's not more or less childish (except possibly in name, seriously don't like the name). It's just that I'm older and am not going to get into a new line of lego action figures...
     
    The old BZPower was a refuge for me, the nerdy kid who played with lego when he was age 11, then age 12, then age 13 and so on. At age 17, I'm no nerdy kid anymore, I'm thinking about University and jobs, and my nerdiness is turning to an asset for my CV.
     
    The New BZP seems like something thats trying to barge it's way into my newer life, it's more sophisticated and modern, and I think I dislike that. The old BZP I could slip into the nerd role, and talk about Bionicle, comment on MOCs, and write works of semi-ellaborateness for the epic forum. With the new look, I find it harder to slip into that role.
     
    I just hope my views change, and that I'm still here in the future.

    Rc Moc

    By Taipu1,

    Once again, I post a question in my blog simply because I can't be bothered to find if there's a specific topic in the forum to ask it
     
    But anyway, I'm looking to make an Remote controlled MOC of some kind, but I need a controller, motor, reciever unit and whatever in order to do it. I've had a little look, but I'm lazy and poor. So does anyone know whats the cheapest way to get these parts, what sets they come in or just how I can get hold of them in general?

    Another One

    By Taipu1,

    Mata Nui was condemned to the mantel piece today, his left hand just won't stay on when stored with other bionicles, so he's with Mazeka and his damaged shoulder now . Now looking in to getting those parts replaced...

    Lack Of Dedication

    By Taipu1,

    Today I started going through the Expanded Multiverse story submission topic, and checking over the stories and adding them to the list of submitted stories on the recently created EM wiki. And the lack of dedication to these epics shocked me quite a bit. There are some cases where people don't have the time, and I can understand that people might forget about there epics, but a lot of the epics listed don't go beyond one chapter, some manage two. And this is the majority of the submitted epics I've checked so far. There are some that people are sticking to, some that are finished to good standard, but most of them were just left. It just shocked me and I thought I'd post it.

    Vaccinations

    By Taipu1,

    Vaccination booster today, for Tetanus, Diphtheria and Polio Bet I spelt at least one of them wrong. As is normal with everything, the wait was much worse than the thing itself. Arm aches though, and yet there doesn't seem to be a mark there

    Non-working Vle

    By Taipu1,

    Snow started again, so I'm back off school (hooray). This time the schools put work on our VLE though. And half the VLE doesn't work! Not to mention it's slower than BZP is at really busy times. And that is slow.
     
    EDIT: Now the VLE has stopped working. What a shame

    Back in school again . First PE lesson back, and there's still snow everywhere and the teacher says: "We're going to be doing our cross country runs!"
     
    wasn't really cross country, just three times around our school field, which is pretty big. Doesn't make it easy though, particularly with all the snow.

    Mazeka

    By Taipu1,

    Mazeka's moved to a new home - the mantel piece. His ball joint socket on his shoulder can't cope being touched and moved around any more Mata Nui and his wrist might going the same way, and Solek and his kneck. why lego changed the style of ball sockets I don't know. Do they want them to break?

    Snow!

    By Taipu1,

    Been of school because of snow for the past three days, and I'm rapidly losing contact with the outside world. I have no one to enjoy the snow with, my dad won't drive unless he has to, and I'm too lazy to walk to a friends house. So all that snow in my garden goes untouched. Kind of.

    Irritating Assembly

    By Taipu1,

    In school we had this really irritating assembly. Apparently the teachers would go head to head in a little competion in specific areas. But all the teachers cheated by using calculators in maths, giving the students doing art pens that don't work and the student doing music a badly out of tune guitar. None of the students won. And apparently the moral was not that teachers are cheaters (anagram! ) but that we all need to bring good equipment with us to school.
     
    Lousy teachers...

    Irritating Advert.

    By Taipu1,

    does anyone else find that advert for Oxo telly or whatever it is that you sometimes get here just a bit irritating?
     
    I can't stand it! The adverts don't usually have sounds on BZP.

    New Look

    By Taipu1,

    Okay I've got a new name for the blog, one with more originality. I'm going to try and give it a new look, to suit the visoraky type theme.

    Neglect

    By Taipu1,

    Okay, so when I first became premier member, I went a little mad with my Blog. Then I just forgot about it. Of course the moment my Premier membership expires, I suddenly think "I want my Blog back!" Anyway now I've renewed my Premier, I'm going to try and keep a tighter grip on my Blog. I'm thinking I'm gonna do a MOC of the week thing or something, so I've got a reason to post in this.
