    April.
     
    Is.
     
    EPIC WIN.
     
    First off, we have April Fool's Day. I haven't played any really good pranks on somebody in a while, any suggestions, BZP?
     
    On the Fifth, the Major League Baseball season starts up. That makes a month win even if everything else is boring.
     
    Next, Series Five of Doctor Who starts on BBC America, starting April 17th. Words cannot describe the happydance!
     
    Finally, some other assorted things that I can't think of right now but are awesome anyway.
     
    Compounded, April is epic, epic win.

    A ಠ_ಠ Conspiracy!

    By Sumiki,

    People may be familiar with the popular semi-emoticon ಠ_ಠ. But something about this small item interested my overly-perceptive mind when I saw it ramped up to size 7 my another member who was extremely nostalgic:
     
    ಠ_ಠ
     
    I noticed that there was writing along the sides of the ಠ box. Determined to see what this writing was, I copied it over to my text editor and ramped up the size.
     

     
    Amazing, isn't it?

    SOMEWHAT LATE TO THE PARTY BUT HEY HERE GOES
     

     
    Xaeraz hugs the "Sumikube" - the official BrickFair 2012 mascot. Consisting of a Companion Cube Plushie with a hat and huge sunglasses, it was a big hit at the tables, especially during the public hours.
     

     
    The Sumikube sits amongst my MOCs.
     

     
    Zatth poses with the Sumikube.
     

     
    When Avohkah Tamer showed up, I just had to stick my panda/fez/shades combo on him. I have pictures of others doing this, but AT's was probably the best.
     

     
    On the second day, we ran into -Windrider- as we were perusing the other tables. So what did we do?
     
    IMPROMPTU HATPILE, THAT'S WHAT
     

     
    Xaeraz sticks his head into the camera. This is one of the most disturbing images ever.
     

     
    Windeh is sexeh with two hats
     

     
    On the third day, Black Six grabbed my fez and donned it, rightly proclaiming that they are cool.
     

     
    MOCs, MOCs everywhere ...
     

     
    HEY BFA, WE DIDN'T SCREW IT UP THIS TIME :)
     

     
    On the last day, the King of All Hatpiles was created. I'm not sure how many I was balancing, but it was awesome.
     

     
    GROUP SHOT (after I convinced ChocolateFrogs to aim the camera right-side up)
     

     
    Dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. We tried in vain to get a good group shot but none of them really turned out. In this one, Avohkah Tamer is a blur and only half of Spink's head can be seen.
     

     
    In this one, everyone's a tad blurry and Sisen is staring at something that is most definitely not the camera. Also, Spink is pulling the Steve Jobs face.
     

     

     
    LOOT, GLORIOUS LOOT
     

     
    All of the teal. ALL OF IT.

    BrickḞair 2012

    By Sumiki,

    Earlier today I registered for BrickFair 2012.
     
    WHOOOOOOOP
     
    Who else is coming this year?
     
    (Also would anyone be interested in reading a blog entry about the insanity that happened at BrickFair 2011?)

    HЅ01

    By Sumiki,

    HS01 will be the April Fool's prank on BS01 this year.
     
    Swertavus, you're too obvious.
     
    EDIT: Misspelled the name of the prank-name.

    Ugh

    By Sumiki,

    So yesterday I go in to get a new wire for my braces. Unfortunately, my teeth had actually "rotated", or so they said, so I have to have rubber bands in my mouth. Not so bad except the lady who installed them has no idea what the heck she was doing, and pressed down very, very hard on some very, very wrong spots, afterward insisting that it didn't hurt a bit.
     
    So that was a little annoying, though it gives me another excuse to eat a lot of pasta. I like pasta.
     
    Today, I went to the eye doctor. Oh joy. I tried on CONTACT LENSES for the first time - getting them in for the first time wasn't so bad, but I couldn't get one out to save my life, even sliding my fingernail across my actual eye a few times. Eventually someone else was able to finally remove it, but not before I was told that I'd have to come back tomorrow for further practice with the darned things.

    BrickFair is coming up and I currently have this beard. I can either keep growing it or get rid of it.
     
    It'll get bigger before the 'Fair but D.C. is freaking hot that time of year and I don't know what kind of slap insulation it'd provide. (Also it's kind of strange how I don't really get any on my cheeks.)
     
    This isn't a poll ... unless almost everyone wants me to keep the thing for one reason or another, in which case I'd bow to the collective wish.

    Nuju Metru does not play any G&T games. He does not MOC. He does not participate in any RPGs.
     
    Nuju Metru has 6519 posts, 13 per day.
     
    That's what I don't understand. How does he do it?

    Instead of going out to far off lands (or Web sites) to find suitable characters to hax your blog titles to all-caps, look no farther than this entry. This entry contains all you need to copy-and-paste to all-caps glory. B)

    Erm ... so, BrickFair

    By Sumiki,

    So I've been getting back to my hotel room usually somewhere near midnight. Of course, everyone else had gotten a head start and thus I had nothing original to blog about.
     
    Not tonight, however.
     
    In no particular order:
     
    - I apparently talk in Palatino
    - Papyrus is worse than Comic Sans
    - Hat towers are cool
    - Zatth's GIFs will be hilarious when I download/convert them
    - He is the human GIF
    - Ballom came back during the dreaded PUBLIC HOURS from the vendors and showed us a bag full of cool parts and rare '01 masks. I immediately asked him where he got it and he told me - apparently one of the vendors had refilled their gigantic BIONICLE tub. So Daiker, Cholie, and I sliced through the crowd and got more delicious loot
    - Meiko gave me some teal parts
    - Meiko is pretty cool, though he's quite literally the human troll. He kept trying to steal my BZP Staff brick off my badge
    - I kept trying to think of classical music jokes when I was around Windrider, but whenever I got near him my mind suddenly went blank
    - We sang "Happy Birthday" to Black Six, who then threatened to ban everyone who sung
    - Black Six slapped Takuma's hat off of his head, sending the light clip that was on it shattering into its constituent parts. While we were able to piece it back together, I'm not sure if anyone ever got it to work
    - After public hours, we planned a last-minute vendor raid, but Architect and I didn't run into anything interesting on sale
    - Kothra and Waffles both made their appearance known via laggy and blurry videocalls
    - Malignus showed up again today and showed everyone his technique for attaching Kopaka Mata's shield to his feet
    - Xaeraz cobbled together a Toxic Waste Bunny and walked the Dinosaur
    - Cholie and I barked at each other
    - InnerRayg remarked that our dancing should supply the front page for at least five days
    - We looked at pictures on Zatth's iPad, watched videos from last year's 'Fair, and made dumb jokes and puns
    - Takuma's cousin won a door prize at the closing ceremonies
    - Afterwards, Brickeens, Takuma, his cousin, Avohkah Tamer, Bionicle Raptor, Zatth, Disky, Spink, Sisen, and I went out to eat dinner, where much hilarity ensued - specifically, pun zingers in the conversation between Zatth and me.
    - My mom took a group shot of us all, but half of Spink's head was behind Sisen, so another picture was taken. Everyone looked strange, so a third attempt was made ... but everyone turned out blurry. After Sisen messed with the camera, we finally got a good group picture and all was right with the world again
    - Zatth, after having a lunch of Skittles and a second lunch of nachos, was out of money because his parents didn't want him to squander it at BrickFair. He ended up eating a side of macaroni and cheese from someone else's plate
    - A few set designers who did a BrickFair seminar were eating at the same place we were, so they came over and said hi
    - Unfortunately I had to go so I missed whatever hilarity is going on in Takuma's hotel room as I type this, but I have to get up early tomorrow morning so Brickeens, Zatth, and I can tour Washington
     
    I miss BrickFair already - but hey, it's only 361 more days until it all happens again.

    Thanks for all the links here guys. I appreciate it.
     
    Anyway, the game will need some music: what is a game without music?
     
    I'm planning on using soundtracks from Planetperson's awesome "MNOLG Soundtrack" that he put up for download a while back. This will increase the nostalgia factor as well as linking it to the awesome MNOLG.
     
    For the main game menu, who else thinks a remixed, more awesome revamp of "The Bionicle Music" from the Powerpack would be good? Optimally, it will include more (and clearer) vocals, more guitar riffs, and some piano thrown in. I'm working on that right now in the GarageBand application, but it's difficult to get.
