    Awesome Names

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «There's not a single name in 2009 I dislike. It's been years since I could say that. "Vorox" sounds a bit like "Vohrak," but that's as bad as it gets. And even then, I don't dislike the name in the slightest.
     
    And Bara Magna! I can't get over how cool that sounds.
    Are you guys pronouncing it "bear-uh mag-nuh" or "bar-uh mog-nuh?"
     
    I like the second. It sounds so exotic and it rolls well off the tongue.

    Bahahaha

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    Ahahaha holy creck. I just remembered for the first time in ages that I'm a lifetime Premier Member on BZPower. This means that, at some point back in elementary school, I actually shelled out forty dollars so that I could start quiz topics and have little icons next to my name. Blogs weren't even an option at the time.
     
    I can't believe these things were once among my top priorities as a human being

    Bara Magna

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    For those of you unaware, this is Bara Magna.
    Isn't it beautiful?
    Yes it is.

There's a leg west of Tajun, a piece in Iron Canyon, and of course Skull Mountain itself. (Being the coolest tribe, the Skrall get to have the coolest body part in their territory.) Also notable are "Elbow Peak," possibly a body part south of the Hot Springs, and what may be fingers east of Tesara. (Until an official name is given, I'll refer to this Great Spirit as "Rua Nui," which is Maori for "Great #2.")
     
    My thoughts on the subject are that Rua Nui and Mata Nui are the "two that must make the three into one." Previously "the two" was a bit of a problem for theorists, but it all seems to be pretty clear now. I don't know why he crashed on Bara Magna, but I have a feeling it was 100,000 years ago, as that would make for a pretty cataclysmic disaster. If I were a Vorox I would totally regress.
    Your guess as to why he crashed is as good as mine. Maybe his "AI" was a bit buggier than Mata Nui's, and the Makuta inside him (If he even had any) took a more direct approach in taking down their Great Spirit. By just letting him die, maybe. Maybe they weren't quite as clever as Makuta Teridax.
     
    Speaking of Mata Nui, though, that silhouetted figure definitely appears to be wearing an Ignika. Just saying.
     
    Anyways, some other things on the map that interest me:
    The Sea of Liquid Sand- Could boats go on it? Could graboids live in it? The prospect of abandoned domes inside Rua Nui's body- Are ruinous, sideways islands still in there? Those weird spikes west of Vulcanus- Probably not too significant, but still... What are they? That purty UDD compass rose The fact that Roxtus is situated right on Rua Nui's chin- Do the Skrall have a nice view? So yeah, 2009's looking up. I hope we stay on Bara Magna a long time. The whole location shown right here is bigger than all of the Matoran Universe from 2001-2008, so I imagine we'll be here a while.

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    Aah, the wonders of waking up at noon...
     
    Just wanted to say my moc, the Teutha-Nui, will be up soon. It's a giant squid. I just need to get some clear pictures.

    Beans For Genes

    By Wrinkledlion X,

    We did a lab in school the other day where we used beans of various colors to represent genes and alleles and stuff. For some reason, this part of the instructions cracks me up:
     

    (Emphasis mine.)
     
    It just makes me think of some feebly sadistic guy quietly sorting beans into "those that may live" and the "non-survivors." Maybe I just have a really weird sense of humor.

    Okay, because nobody's using reason in the Toyfair topic:
     
    I seriously doubt they're raising prices by three dollars. It lists the Phantoka at $12.99, too, so by all logic it's either in a foreign currency or it's simply an error. How many of you honestly think it would be profitable to the company to raise prices on their best-selling part of their best-selling line?
     
    If it gets that bad they'd just make the sets a bit smaller...
