    BioniLUG

    By Meiko,

    So I can't join it? Wow this store app on the site sucks. I didn't buy it, it says I did, and now I can't actually pay for it. What a let-down.

    BioniLUG Update

    By Meiko,

    So apparently my purchase of a membership isn't in the system, according to Black Six. Thank goodness I have the PayPal order receipt to prove I bought that. I'm not going to re-purchase something like this, let alone something I have to continuously pay for every year. I hope this gets resolved soon. Has anybody else had problems like this with the BZPower store?

    Birthday recap and more

    By Meiko,

    I remembered I have a blog here.
     
    If you didn't know, yesterday was my birthday. Thankful it wasn't on Thanksgiving this year like it was last year.
     
    This came in the mail yesterday. It was super fun to build, especially since I was on the Creations For Charity 24 hour live stream while I built it. I'll be reviewing it on Brickipedia soon.
     
    The live stream was a lot of fun. I was in it for around 13 hours out of 24, with some sleep in the middle of it. A lot of fun people were on it too including Josh and Matt from Beyond The Brick, Kevin Hinkle, Nannan Z and various other great MOCists, Bryan from BrickWorld, and many others.
     
    I've been listening to Korn and Five Finger Death Punch songs an unusual amount lately.
     
    My first semester of college is almost over. Most memorable moments so far have been completing Crysis 3 over the course of all my Student Development classes, countless hours of GTA in Biology, and back to back Family Guy episodes in English class.
     
    I can now legitimately call myself a professional automotive and portrait photographer having made decent cash on various photoshoots recently. You can follow my photography on the following sites: 500px - Facebook - Instagram - Flickr
     
    About a month ago I was in a bad car accident where a large deer ran into the car. No substantial injuries (except for the deer), and the EMS, police officers, and insurance agent were all surprised that, given the conditions, I kept the car under control and everyone inside safe which is good though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm looking at buying another car soon.
     
    At the start of this month, the LEGO Ambassador Network launched, being my first official year as a LEGO Ambassador. It's been a great privilege.
     
    I've almost certainly left some things out but most likely nobody reading this cares (and frankly I don't either).
     
    Bye.

    Bored

    By Meiko,

    Anybody got a Minecraft server I can join? I'd love a Tekkit or a Feed the Beast server, but Vanilla Minecraft is good enough for me.

    Boston

    By Meiko,

    So I'm in Boston. And look I see an Aanchir and a Lyichir.
     
    Yeah, I might go to a LEGO store. If I do, I'll probably empty their stock of Chima...

    BrickFair (so far)

    By Meiko,

    Guess I'll make a blog for once about my BrickFair adventures
     
    Day 1:
    Didn't really do anything at the con besides check in and help set up sound system
    Did not bring any MOCs.
    Bailed on the con to go take car pics (what else is new) and get free buffalo wings courtesy of my northern virginia friends

    Day 2:
    Did a seminar that I did not plan for ahead of time. Winged the whole thing and according to some audience members I nailed it.
    Starbucks "chill sesh" with Beyond the Brick and Kevin Hinkle
    Organizers Dinner with BZPower ppl and LEGO ppl #darnitdanny
    Finally met Marcos Bessa in person
    Made Kevin Hinkle memes as per his request
    Got the biggest sundae I've ever seen as dessert. To quote Marcos, "that's not a sundae, that's a whole week".

    Day 3:
    Hung with Beyond the Brick fam
    Received sad news that one of my friends was killed in a motorcycle accident
    This.
    Hosted a "Christmas of Creation" activity with Beyond the Brick to give away ~100 LEGO sets in a community engaging activity. Christmas in July!

    Day 4:
    Have not done anything notable today

    And that's all for now ✌️

    BZP TF2 Event #1

    By Meiko,

    Who's up for a preplanned TF2 event on the BZPower server I'm hosting? How about Saturday evening/night EST?
     
    Server IP has been changed, for those who have to old IP saved:
     
    108.44.211.182:27015
     
    Hit me up on Steam if you're interested, as I'll have to make sure the server is set up and able to handle enough people. Give map suggestions in the comments, and let me know if you want to participate (or if a different time/date would work better for you.)

    BZPower TF2 Server?

    By Meiko,

    Title mostly self-explanatory. I'm considering hosting a BZPower TF2 server. Anyone interested? It'd be on the east coast (Washington DC area), so for those a significant distance from there, be mindful that you wouldn't have the best ping.
     
    Some things I need to know:
    First of all, who is interested?
    Should I leave it running 24/7? I have no problem with doing so, just want to know though.
    Should it be password protected?
    Should there be occasional scheduled "events" that would be planned ahead of time?
    What kind of map cycle should there be? What maps do you like?
    Any SourceMod plugins that should be used?

    Also, if you aren't already, be sure to add me on Steam.

    Can't wait till tomorrow!

    By Meiko,

    Oh yeah I forgot I have this thing now.
     
    Tomorrow when I get home from school, my brothers Aanchir and Lyichir will be there to greet me! It's been a while since we've both been home together...
     
    Yeah. That's all. I guess I can post the obligatory TCW update:
     
    The Chima Wiki is in the midst of working on the database to allow users already registered on TNW to use TCW without a separate account. We are hoping to have the site up around Christmas, about a week give or take.

    Chima Online

    By Meiko,

    So I spent all day playing the closed beta of Legends of Chima Online with some friends from Brickipedia. It's really fun and addicting and glitchy.
     
    Anyways, check this topic if you want beta access! http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=10010

    Deadpool

    By Meiko,

    is awesome
     
    So I pre-ordered the game last night at midnight, and have been playing it all afternoon. It's so awesome!
     
    I took screenshots too:

    Epic Chima Display

    By Meiko,

    So there was this awesome Chima display somewhere in Korea. Here are some pictures.
     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    And Ninjago if you are interested:
     

     

     

     
    So what do you guys think?

    Happy 12/12/12

    By Meiko,

    Yes, this post needed to happen. For no reason. It's 12/12/12. Isn't that cool? Yeah, I thought not. Unless you are getting married on this day, in which congrats.
     
    Also, Aanchir and Lyichir are home. Let's see how long we last before we fight each other to death...
     
    Also, thoron and I have been playing Halo 1 a lot recently. Fun stuff. Very fun stuff.

    Happy Easter and...

    By Meiko,

    First off, Happy Easter everyone! Go eat chocolate and watch bunnies even though that has nothing to do with the resurrection of Christ.
     
    Also, tomorrow is my 6th anniversary of joining BZPower! Why does it feel like it's been longer than 6 years?

    HD Chima TV Images

    By Meiko,

    A flashback scene about when the animal tribes turned against each other. Also, we don't have a name for this lion yet.

     
    The totally awesome Lion Fortress:

     
    Cragger entering his Chi state:

     
    Worriz, the leader of the Wolf Tribe:

     
    The beautiful Crocodile Fortress:

     
    The entire Lion tribe:

     
    My favorite image, of the floating island:
     

     
    Eris in flight:

     
    I get more of these daily, so if you like these, I can share more. I have to say, the animation quality of Chima is much better than that of Ninjago, especially when you look at the image of Worriz.

    I went ahead and built my Epic Dragon Battle Ninjago set that I got at the Brick Friday promotion at the LEGO Store in Potomac Mills, Virginia at a nice discount. Very nice set, however it isn't taking the spot where I cherish my favorite LEGO set in recent times. *cough* UCS B-Wing *cough*

    Introducing Brickimedia

    By Meiko,

    I'm proud to announce a new network for LEGO fans and sites (primarily wikis, which is all we host at the time, and plan to host): Brickimedia! Brickipedia, the popular LEGO wiki hosted on Wikia and several other LEGO Wikis have moved to Brickimedia by today, completing the current network of the sites.
     
    I did a lot of work with some people I just met when starting this project to set up the server and the wikis. If you're curious, the interface and experience may be similar to what you know on BS01, The Ninjago Wiki, or other independent wikis. Brickimedia will be cooperating with many other sites, including sites like Brickset to integrate information from the Brickipedia wiki to bring a more unified, easy, and complete online LEGO information on various sites you visit.
     
    Sites like BS01, Brickset, The Ninjago Wiki, or The Chima Wiki won't be moving to Brickimedia, but will support each other as 'partners'. I plan to talk to Black Six some time this week about what can be done with the Brickimedia network to make it BZPower-friendly, and what could be integrated on the sites.
     
    More information regarding the Brickimedia network can be found at http://www.brickimedia.org and if you have further questions, be sure to ask in the comments.

    Legends of Chima Online

    By Meiko,

    So, a contact of mine at LEGO is getting some beta accounts for Legends of Chima: Online for some of the TCW Staff, including me.
     
    I won't legally be able to share screenshots or videos of gameplay until the game is out, though, so... yeah.
     
    I'll keep you updated. I can't wait.

    Links!

    By Meiko,

    Look the policy changed! So I can actually link to sites like Facebook without having to annoy Black Six on AIM now!
     
    Well
     
    yeah
     
    so
     
    LINKS:
    Facebook (mostly posts about my personal life, but some LEGO-related stuff too)
    Twitter (same as Facebook)
    Tumblr (mostly just bands and fandom stuff)
    Instagram (my boring self and pictures of where I go)

     
    Oh and I changed my blog name

    Mah New Computer

    By Meiko,

    Oh my goodness I love this thing. And yes it has Windows 8 but it's awesome.
     
    I can actually play games now!
     

     
    But since I've been at my grandma's house which has no wifi, I've been running a LAN network through the USB connection of my phone (4G speeds yay), but I have to wait to install my newly bought games like Max Payne 3 because that would cost me over $300 in data overages.
