  1. The slow whurring and faint clicks of students working in my labratory. Then a faint siri noise...
  2. This is so good on so many levels. I like how even the doodle is haphazardly drawn for sarcasms sake.
  3. I've been focusing more on paying and saving for university. But anytime I see or think about it, I REALLLLY want to. But no I haven't been able to buy any.
  4. I think looking at Bionicle's history of creation, design, and what/how it will benefit for the LEGO company, I'm gonna say that I want LEGO to create Bionicle in a more improved way, keep the cool and awesome aspect of it, but make sure the company is successful. The LEGO company needs to be smart, and I think they will. They know how to change from their mistakes from the past. They're a great company, and are definitely inspiring kids! I would only hope that the story itself would keep the gritty theme and not become sappy in any aspect whatsover. I really want LEGO to continue the theme of Bionicle being an EPIC. I believe they're capable of accomplishing that.
  5. I won't state my opinion about whether LEGO would throw us a bone or that we're committing illegal activity. By this point, it doesn't matter. And that image is real. It has way too many professional photoshop touches to the image. Coming at it from a Graphic Design standpoint, the Kanohi is way to similar to the previous designs of the Bionicle company. So I'm believing everything. And that's all I'm gonna do. Now I'm just gonna try to figure out a way to pass the time till 2015. *waits*
  6. I'm gonna buy all the sets that I can buy, and I'll make sure I do it before the new wave of sets. Then do it all over again so I have two of everything.
  7. I know I'm not for one to be serious on BZPower. (I mean, just look at my avatar... ) Most of the time being here, I've only come sometimes when I feel like I need to be nerdy. In the past, I used to be very insecure about my identity. Thankfully, that's all over and I brag about all my strange nerdy fascinations and huge amounts of knowledge in pointless internet jokes and fads. However, I felt like writing to everyone that will read this about how much this Website and Bionicle itself has played a huge part in my life. I know where most of my abilities come from, but being a student studying Graphic Design at a university and working at a job that can easily pay for it would not have happened if it wasn't a couple of things. When I found out that LEGO was gonna re-release Bionicle, it really hit a nerve for me. It hit a nerve in a very different way than most things do. I can't really distinguish what I'm feeling right now. (besides being tired from being at school all day. ) I can't really distinguish between if I'm feeling sad or extremely motivated about life right now. Sad meaning that my long dream of Bionicle finally returning, but I can't do anything about it. (Eg. like buy a lot of sets on a consistent basis and use them for MOCs) Sad that my friends could potentially judge me as this dysfunctional man-boy that can't put his toys down while in the work place. OR Super motivated that LEGO is actually conceptualizing RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK about some map ideas or Kanohi ideas or story ideas! Super motivated to consider pursing my super secret dream of doing graphic design work for the Art direction department for Bionicle! Super motivated that I can finally brag and discuss on a product and story that has such a rich history! Super motivated that, as I progress through college and save my finances for a potential spouse one day, I can be on BZPower again, engage in more conversations, and actually get to know more people that actually like Bionicle as much as I do! Super motivated that I can buy toys again for bragging right's sake! But...am I just being stupid about all this? Like I don't understand if I'm truly being immature or MUH-ture about this. I feel like most adult men would consider this kind of thing as nothing important. As if I should saying "Oh hey, Bionicle's coming back? Huh...cool", and then forget about it. Like I feel as though that MIGHT be the better response to this. But in contrast! Bionicle and BZPower was introduced to me by some friends and I got SO into it, that I discovered sprites, avatars, signatures, comedies….basically the internet! And the best part of all, PHOTOSHOP! The very thing I still do, since day one of actually getting inspired from Bionicle and BZPower, is use Photoshop! I've been drawing hard-core since 2008. And it wasn't until the day my Dad told me that I needed to draw something else besides Bionicles that I started becoming more Graphic Design orientated. And my studies and my talents are real. Like I know for a fact that I can do this stuff. But nobody told me to do it. I just...discovered it…it’s almost a blessing! I don't know guys. I love coming here. Even though I've never really been here enough to REALLY get connected with some of the cool groupies and understand where all these fads or contests start. But I always enjoy all the inspiration and all the literate talent and all the hilarious humor and all the crazy stories and all the inside jokes that I don't understand...I really love this place for some strange reason. I don't wanna feel bad about coming back here. I've had some serious thoughts about becoming a forum helper of some kind. Like take this seriously like a job almost. And then start making MORE cool stuff! Like I feel SO motivated to create stuff when I browse this forum. It's crazy! I'M CRAZY! But again...I don't know. I've kind of wanted to open this up to almost...I guess...a discussion. About whether if I'm being mature or immature about visiting this website. What do you all think?

    ALL THE EHKSES

    Now I feel bad for not asking. *spider tears*

    ALL THE EHKSES

    I was considering making one too. Is this some kind of IceBucket Challenge?
  10. Looks like I'll be coming back HERE more often! THANKS LEGO!

  12. I'm causing a scene at my work. All my maturity has been lost to Bionicle. Thank you LEGO company.
  13. Another victory for science. Oh my sweet baby mata-nui.

    I'VE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THAT ONE!! May all your skyrims never work! > Okay, all that aside, wonder who's the creepy looking priest...
  15. Leraku: Stop listening to the demons that prevent you from production. Takua: Agree with me.
  16. I completely agree with this (including the Time Trap). It's a mature decision to consider the past as an act that you can do better on. No re-dos. Just do a good job with something new whilst keeping the similar aspects of Bionicle. I'm in full faith that LEGO would know what they would need to do.
  17. Holy Toledo guys! Imagine all the characters of Bionicle made as Dota 2 characters! Best game in the universe. Might just be better than Pokemon or TF2!
  18. Well I'll be honest, I didn't read all your comics at first, but now I did. So withe visuals, I think you know what you're doing. You're really good with gimp or photoshop or whatever you use. So I don't think you need feedback on that. Story wise however I think needs work. So to begin, if your series is being taken this seriously, you should definitely hold to your standard to make good fun story arcs. However, I'm not sure if the overall tone of your series so far is fun and exciting. Kortis's (or you in this case) always seems like he's peeved with everybody. When it comes to comics and comedy, anything could be funny if done right. However, it feels that since you've surrounded the series around Kortis being peeved with everyone around him, it's more annoying and discouraging to me as the reader. So I think you need a happy character, or at least, you should bring another one that will change Kortis for the better. Cause the flow of the comics is that Kortis is bored, everyone annoys him, and he can never get to his tea that he's inexplicably attached to. Also as a side note that everyone can grow on I think. When it comes to comics with the "PGSs vs the Author" genre, what the heck does that entail? Does this mean, the author produces comics elsewhere off screen but is never recorded and the PGSs are there to...be interviewed? Interviewed for what? I don't think your comics are stupid. We're all comic makers, therefore we're all gonna take it seriously. And the comic section is to provide enjoyable strips to read on a daily/weekly bases. And I believe your comics have potential! But don't take all of what I've said as an excuse to not continue. My next implore for you is that you except what I've incited, take what you want, and then change what you think should change. I can't rewrite your comics for you, but I do believe it does need some more work in the story aspect. I won't go into the specific details, but I think I've already generalized in the above statements. How's that critique?

    I'm usually too busy doing life stuff. I don't wanna figure it all out when I'm 30. Nope. Luckily, I'm out of the Late Boat so, whoo hoo!

    Millennials

    It's a generation term. So the ones before us were called Generation X. The ones before that were called the Baby Boomers. We're called the Millennials.
  21. What's up fools! Guess what?! Pohatu's stupid too! Y'all have a great weekend! Edit: Potentially offensive language removed from the link. -Wind-

    Thanks! You'll see later on that is is both literal and symbolic. -Rez EDIT: By the way, everyone, sorry I haven't put out a comic for a while! I've been busy lately. But worry not. I've started the next one. It's okay, we're in the same boat today. But thank the heavens it's the weekend.

    Millennials

    The more I get out and meet fellow Millennials, the more I realize... We all have a bad case of pre-mature slouching.
  24. A lot of the time I even question why I still like it. It's like a drug I can't live without, but it seems that I need to be rid of it.
