    Rob Is Awesome

    By Swert,

    In 2003, I met a member on BZPower who helped me gather bearings and kept me semi-sane on here.
     
    That member is Janus.
     
    After 9 long years, I finally met him IRL.
     
    And yes, he is AWESOME.
     
    Also DV's not too bad, once you get to know him. No that's a lie, I didn't really get to know him. But I'm sure if I did, he'd be not too bad
     
    (As for the other staff I met: You guys are pretty cool too. I loved this event, and though it was rocky at first we ended it on a better note.)
     
    Now let's go enjoy Ninjago year 3 8D OH WAIT.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
     
    ... AAAAAAAAAAA.
     
    Oh man oh man it's 2 days away *breathes heavily, waiting for Friday to arrive*
     
    I'm stoked, people. I get to see my friends, I get to hang with the SEALUG AFOLs, I get to display my MOCs, and with luck I'll be able to throw my Wacky Racer down the ramp and get decent video of it working.
     
    I hope

    So yeah, finally got poked enough times to go make skins for the two sites.
     
    BS01's is the second winner from that old contest, and was made by ~MI~. The HS01 skin is one I had kicking around to begin with, and it was decided it was time to make it happen.
     
    Thoughts, everyone? 8D

    Sumiki!

    By Swert,

    I-I'm sorry I just had to
     
    ... Also I just woke up, hence why I'm so far behind. But I am at least original! (Also apparantly the most geeky, if nobody else thought of this one.)

    MVM Session

    By Swert,

    Oh man.
     
    I did not even begin to imagine how fun that'd be. I mean, dude.
     
    Thanks go out to TNU, MI, KZN02, Avlok and some other guy I just met who isn't from BZP for the awesome game.
     
    MANN CO WAS SAVED! NOW GIMME MY MONEY!

    Officially, I don't want it on BS01. So cut it out, guys
     
    And I will admit to you all now, I'm looking into getting it... elsewhere <<
     
    Just give me time, I'll have details later. Til then, chill out on it.

    Latest Lego purchase

    By Swert,

    So, I'm feeling pretty stoked with some of my buying options.
     
    Tomorrow, I'm going to be buying an Iron Patriot (with gantry) from a friend. That's $22 well worth it right there.
     
    After work, I'll be ordering the Eiffel Tower and Wyldstyle's motorcycle (I can't remember the direct set name off the top of my head) and a Joker keychain for my sister's birthday in June (eh, why not?) in addition to cashing in on the Martian Manhunter fig.
     
    So yeah, that's 2 Superhero figs I'm getting for quite a bit more money than I should be spending on Lego right now.
     
    .... Everything is (expensive)!

    Vectorin' Stuff

    By Swert,

    If you guys want advice on it, only one I can give:
     
    Don't start out on ponies. Too complex a shape.
     
    How did I start?
     
    I traced around this with a simple box in Photoshop to begin with:
     

     
    After tinkering around a bit, I managed to graduate up a level to design more complex shapes... and logos by extension.
     

     
    Oh, and want an example of one you see every day now?
     

     
    So yeah, before you work on ponies, work on simple stuff. You'd be amazed at how much easier it'd be in the long run.
     
    Edit: How I roll in PS CS3:

    So last night/this morning around 3AM PDT, I linked the BZPower talk page on BS01 to... the Auto Plushie Generator.
     
    Most (if not all) newer members will not understand. All those members that joined before 2004 know what dangers that poses.
     
    I just hope it doesn't spark the fad again... PLEASE don't let it spark the fad.
     
    For those who don't know, in an attempt to be more accurate in our BS01 database, I dediced to post a new section called "Fads," which would describe all fads BZPower had that were notable. Notability, of course, is different from Wikipedia notability, since we still have more content on our site that WPedia would have deleted by now. Of course, one such fad, sparked by the appearance of "Plushies" in MNOLG2, led to probably the biggest sprite mania that BZP can probably record. It even sparked the first resistence group (You only thought you started it with Anti-Ponies ) that opposed them. Yes, the Plushie Fad.
     

    I just hope I didn't doom us all.

    EDIT: So I checked back, and Mahalis modified it to include a new watermark and he reset the counter. It says at 3:03 PM:

     
    We're doomed.

DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! MAKE LIFE RUE THE DAY IT THOUGHT IT COULD GIVE SWERT JOHNSON LEMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!? I'M THE MAN WHO'S GOING TO BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! WITH THE LEMONS! I'M GOING TO GET MY ENGINEERS TO INVENT A COMBUSTIBLE LEMON THAT BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!
     
    And yes, I'm bored I should play Halo: Reach.

    Emerald City ComicCon 2013

    By Swert,

    Looks like I'll be going again.
     
    And we have bigger plans for models this year 8D
     
    Also December will be pretty packed for me as far as work goes. I'm hoping to do a few things for BS01 and HS01 (like finish updating HS01's main page to BS01's standards, and bringing BS01's main page up to completion) but the time's limited.
     
    I didn't even get to finish Halo 4's Spartan Ops episode this week yet. x_x

    Brickfair Vs Brickcon

    By Swert,

    Let's see...
     
    I -could- pay $6 round trip to get up to Seattle for BrickCon, then use my Orca bus pass (which after $3 would be free) and find a hotel near the convention hall or within bus range, or bum a ride...
     
    or pay $429 BEFORE TAXES round-trip flight to Washington, D.C., get a ride or a bus to the convention hall... and then pay the $52 to get into the convention, and still find a way around the town I have never been in before.
     
    Oh, and I'd have no family nearby in case I get really stuck, since they all live on the West Coast.
     
    To all those people who asked me, for many weeks and months, "Hey, going to Brickfair?" Guess which convention I've chosen.

    So, I noticed a topic earlier asking about the online animations from Bionicle past.
     
    So I figured someone was bound to post a link to BS01's page, right? I mean, we do have the animations on there.
     
    Nope. Not even mentioned.
     
    So I decided it's time to update the Media navigation on the front page. Now it has links to anything I could think people would want to research.
     
    And maybe tomorrow when I'm not working? I'll even finish the other undone pages.
     
    So unless my staff wants to do it for me (HINT. HINT.) I'm gonna be busy tomorrow.
     
    Yippie. *throws confetti*

    I actually finally (it makes no sense why I took so long but there ya go) signed up for VIP points. I decided it was a good time to do so.
     
    So what did I buy on my first VIP purchase?
     
    Batman Keychain
     
    Superman Keychain
     
    Brick Calendar
     
    Dunno when they'll show up off the top of my head (next week or so I think) and I'll be on the lookout for my VIP card as well (let's hope it gets here before BCon)
     
    Speaking of BrickCon, I'm registered, and so is Mata Nui. Looking forward to seeing my friends there (Micah, Rene, Jason, the Rileys, Connor, Roa) and other fresh faces : D Srsly come join us.
