    I'm Rich

    By Nathan Evo,

    FREE EASY MONEY! exists!
     
    And it exists upon the ground of my school.
     
    Seriously, I earned $12.93 in school. $7.93 was found on the ground, and I won five dollars (USD) in a raffle for a fundraiser.
     
    I plan on spending it, along with my allowance, on Toa Mata Nui. Once I buy that I'll have the three biggest sets in 2009, along with Thornatus and Skopio.

    Bzpower Is Back!

    By Nathan Evo,

    I'm so happy I could cry manly tears of joy!
     
    Or at least change back to old Gerlicky.
     
    What you may have missed:
    1. The next TMU is called TMU: The Legendary Gerlicky. The series will use special "Toon" sprites that I have made myself. Currently, most of the characters from TMUTS and TMUCW as well as Takuma Nuva, Kahinuva, Blade, VakamaTK, and some characters from the latter two's comics. There is one character from a PGS's comics and literary work I would like to use. I will ask his creator later.
    2. I have a blog on BZP Comics Wiki: The Gurkiblog.
    3. I'm working on another comic series known as "SpoofQuest!" The series is not a direct TMU, but rather a spoof of epic comics that use two-shade Chimoru. Only a few TMU characters are in it, but in the first comic, VakamaTK makes a cameo appearance. The two-year Avohkii comic is still WIP, but it WILL have a Quest for the Meta Sword reference in it. You can read the comic here.
     
    UPDATE: The wanted character in TMUtLG is Steak Boy from Who Ya Gonna Call? Toast Busters! and TNToran Revolution, and he's officially confirmed.
     
    In addition, I plan on finishing TMUCW before TMUtLG begins. However, I may plan on skipping a few chapters.
     
    And lastly, there are a few other things planned, including Intruder: The TMU Movie and TMUTS2. Details are still sketchy.

    Pm Corner

    By Nathan Evo,

    Seeing as how the PM system has been disabled I'll let everyone who wants to PM me post it here.
     
    Also, let me know if this isn't allowed.

    Freecell

    By Nathan Evo,

    So, on some computers, you can play a card game called "FreeCell". If you pick a number between 1 and 100000, you can play different games depending on the combination.
     
    The first game I ever beat was Game #60930.
     
    Hey, wait a minute...

    Well, this will involve my comics, which half the people who read this blog actually care about. You don't have to read this. You don't have to comment.
     
    And you certainly don't have to spam, thank you very much.
     
    Time to murder some bandwidth.
     
    Anyway, I figured I'd get started on another comic series. This one probably has the longest title. There was TMUTS and TMUCW. The next series, originally TMURG, is now TMUWoS.
     
    So, the original plan was to use six-shade Chimoru. But since I'm not a six-shade obssessionist like Kahinuva ( ), I figured I'd be a little more original, even though I was the guy who made six-shade Chimoru. ALSO YOU NEED DARK'S PERMISSION TO USE THE SIX-SHADED EXPRESSIONS. I'm going to self-sprite the whole thing. No kit. Whatever I'm using won't be released. And no, I'm not using the Gerlickit, even though it is awesome. The sprites I'll use have been on my computer for probably a year at the most. By the way, the colors in the Gerlickit will be used.
     
    Poor Dark. Seems like half my life revolves around something made by him. I've been a little too into Chimoru lately. Six-shading is starting to be a pain and I'm stuck on a Metus spritesheet. (It was made by VakamaTK.) Well, unlike Dark709ists who cotton-pickin' worship him, it's like I make a loop around him and loop around something else. Repeat. In other words, my path of revolution makes a figure-eight.
     
    This time I'm hoping to poke some fun into things. Gerlicky puts up the Plasma Saber and replaces it with a few much-needed guns. Gerlicky's going into war. The goal is to rescue a group of Matoran held hostage by Hapori Dume. Yep, I'm poking some fun into Dark's third movie.
     
    Now, this is where things might get ugly and backfire. See, Dark's movies may not be beloved by all, but they are pretty dang popular. And there will be at least one noob who loves Dark709's stuff to the point of saying "im gonna ripport u cuz u maed fun of dakr790!! i haet u!! UR MEAN!!11!!11@!Q!!~!" like that Willy Wonka guy on iTunes when Weird Al spoofed "Complicated" by Agril Lavigne. In other words, there will be some misconception and a whole lotta ugly.
     
    On another note, Dark may approve fan kits, but I doubt he lets others use his characters often. And since he invented... well, whatever team Hapori Dume works with, I'm afraid I've got no option but to ask him. And if he says yes, but only if I use Chimoru, then we've got another problem in Uglyville.
     
    Still, I find it tough to see how this isn't awesome.

     
    Yep, I've got a lot planned and one downfall could mess it up entirely.
     
    And if you were brave enough to endure my yammering about Dark709 and Hapori Dume and ugly stuff, then give yourself a pat on the back until I can find something to give you. Unfortunately, the only things on the list are eggs and extension cables.
     
    ALSO CHOCOLATE MILK: Okay, I was able to send Dark the PM. Not a lot of talking, but I CAN use Hapori Dume from his movie. So we're ready to go!

    I'm Back

    By Nathan Evo,

    Now to wreak more havoc upon this blog.
     
    I'm going to enter BBCC this year if the deadline hasn't passed yet. Be on the lookout for the Ignitermobile.

    This might show more detail and a reason why it differs from Rayg- rather than merely editing Nuva armor on, I edit the legs a little and make the sprite taller, similar to the sets.
     
    Also, expressions are not included in the kit, so you'll have to edit the expressions.

    I FOUND THE GLATORIAN LEGENDS.
     
    I managed to buy Mata Nui and Ackar, and I have been saving money for Kaxium for months. I figured I'd review Ackar, since there was already a Mata Nui review.
     
    All pictures here were taken from my DSi and saved to my SD Card, which was how I uploaded these onto majhost. Now relax as I rant on about this set.
     
    Canister:
     
    Ackar's canister is almost exactly like the other Glatorian Legends with a different picture and a major color difference.
     

    Actual appearance may vary.
     
    Enough said.
     
    Pieces:
     
    If you buy it, one thing you should notice is the Mata red! Glory, glory, Mata red!
     

     
    Much more to it than that, though. Ackar is a combination of new pieces we've never seen previously...
     

    Whee.
     
    ...and old pieces in new colors...
     

     
    ...and old junk we've seen before...
     

    I'm not so sure about that little rod, though. ALSO IRON MAN
     
    ...and these four Mahritoran blades in orange found in a Power Miners set and an Exo-Force set, I think.
     

     
    Building:
     
    Half the fun of the set is building it. If you didn't have to build it, then it would most likely be a bootleg. Not sure how they'd get it into that canister...
     
    Anyway, the instruction booklet is obvious. It starts by saying not to dump your LEGO Bricks on the carpet and to organize your pieces, then the instructions, then the BIONICLE Action Figure Game, then some Lego Club advertisement in six different languages showing outdated sets. Easy.
     

    Whoops. Sorry, Lego.
     
    So first you do the most important step: you put the black pegs into the Inika torso. You cannot do anything until you put the black pegs into the Inika torso!
     
    Next you build the legs. Oh, and remember those two red axle joints?
     

    You use them on the feet. Nothing deeper than that.
     
    This set, along with some others, may bring back some memory of the Nuva in some ways.
     

    For one, this guy's wearing bell bottoms.
     
    I wish those pieces were a little less wobbly.
     
    Next, you build the arms, which are vital for a
     

    Falcon PAWNCH!
     
    A few obvious steps later, you get to the helmet.
     

    But wait- the actual helmet isn't transparent! IT'S A TRAP!
     

    Oh, and so long as we're talking heads, I AM IRON MAN
     
    After you finish, Ackar is ready for action. Start with a good, hearty IT'S A TRAP!
     

     
    Completed Set:
     
    First of all, he has gray hands. I think a line from one of my comedies should speak for itself: "...but we here at the LEGO Company believe an eye-searing color scheme is a good color scheme."
     
    With a color difference, he reminds me of Berix.
     

     
    As for his build, it kind of conflicts. I mean, he looks like a true Glatorian, with his Thornax launcher and sword...
     

     

    ...but then he stabs himself in the back with his bell bottoms.
     
    As for his size, not counting the blades on his arms, he's a little taller than Mata Nui.
     

     
    Oh, by the way, I found a way to resize the Ignika.
     

    Photoshop not included.
     
    Playability:
     
    Playing with Ackar is as fun as playing with most modern sets.
     

    Falcon PAWNCH!
     
    He has thirteen points of articulation- in other words, standard stuff. However, it is possible to get the most out of it.
     

     
    ----
     
    All in all, he's a good set, so if you don't hate the storyline or you're not a nostalgic set weenie, buy this thing. He has gray hands, but that can be fixed.
     

     
    So thanks for reading this review. This was a pain to make. Now comment on how you hate him and that I'm a bad reviewer. Or anything else. Just don't spam.

    I was looking up my name in the Artwork III forum (Don't, it has some spammy posts of mine from yeeeeeears ago that I don't want you seein') and WOW.
     
    I found comics I've never even heard of or bothered to look at, and yet with the six-shade Chimoru or even the three-shade rendition, people are using my stuff.
     
    I've left a huge impact, and to all who use it, I'm touched. :blush:
     
    *Ruins the moment*
     
    IIIIIIIIIII'M IIIIIIIIIIIIINVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINCIIIIIIIIIIIBLE!

    I've decided to do this again. This time, though, I've made the standards a little harder to get.
     
    First off, let me just say: Do you hate the Comedies forum? Great. But don't post it here. If you post that you hate the Comedies forum because of a well-thought out reason, the basic and boring "because it's a spam haven filled with Ask comedies", or some noobish reason no one can understand, then say you wish it was closed, your comment will be deleted.
     
    So don't say I didn't warn you.
     
    Okay, here's how this works:
     
    The previous Multi-Man Comedy Search allowed up to ten authors counting myself. This time, it has been chopped in half. Only five authors will survive. Counting myself.
     
    Not like the losers will be killed, though. Moving on.
     
    First off: To enter you must post proof that you are a good comedy writer. This can be either something new and exclusive or the awesomest chapter from a comedy you have written. YOU CANNOT POST THAT YOU WILL WRITE A COMEDY LATER. You can still just write something impromptu now. It won't count if you say "but one day I'll write a comedy called. . ."
     
    NOTHING FROM ASK COMEDIES IS ALLOWED. Even if it's the best Ask comedy that ever was. We're trying to prove those in GD wrong about the Comedies forum, not right.
     
    One last note: You might not get many votes if you are a noob and/or type like one.
     
    When twenty people have entered, I will post the next part of the process.
     
    Happy entering!

    Yes, this day (or a few days ago, actually. I would have reported this in my blog earlier if I weren't obsessed with Art Style: PiCTOBiTs) is the day that only comes once a year. I have been looking forward to this day for a long period of time.
     
    SCHOOL'S OUT!
     
    Sadly, this may be the last time I ever get out this early.

    I feel bad.
     
    I'm worried I'll have to close down my blog. Not just because there aren't many comments, but because of a hurtful message I saw the other day regarding it.
     

     
    No, it is NOT Photoshopped! I don't even have Photoshop on this computer! Okay, it was installed yesterday but it would probably take hours! And besides, the computer I downloaded it on (the one I'm posting this entry on) doesn't have it! So don't start suspecting I used Photoshop on an empty brick wall.

    HOW TO OPERATE VARIOUS LAUNCHERS
     
    Yes, I'm doing one last chapter of the comedy that triggered my career, unoriginality rants, stupid fanboy spammers, and even a ripoff on another forum.
     
    HOW TO OPERATE YOUR THORNAX LAUNCHER
     
    Thank you for buying our product! We assure you that your money will be spent on something stupid that we, the LEGO Company, do not need. If the launcher is silver, you have the basic product. If the Thornax does not fit, you have built it the wrong way. If the launcher is gold, you most likely bought it on eBay from some bootlegger who spray-painted it. Go and take it to a professional. He will most likely assure you it is a fake.
     
    Instructions:
    Please read before using.
     
    1. Build your Glatorian, Warrior, or Vehicle/Creature.
    > If you found this launcher comes with an Agori that is not Fero or a summer 2009 Agori, you have most likely bought a Winter 2009 Agori wannabe.
    > If you found that your Glatorian, Warrior, or Vehicle/Creature does not come with this launcher, then Bill, the guy who works at our company, has most likely stuck them in his ears trying to look like something horrible. Thank goodness we finally fired him.
    > If you found these instructions lying on the ground, dispose of it completely.
     
    2. Build the Thornax launcher.
    > If you found that your Glatorian, Warrior, or Vehicle/Creature does not come with this launcher, then Bill has most likely stuck them in his ears trying to look like something horrible.
     
    3. Find your Thornax.
    > It should be gold and black. If it is green, then it can be boiled down to make soup. Really. We've tried, and the soup smells and tastes like burnt plastic.
    > It should be gold and black. If it is gold and 14-carat gold, then someone at the company has obviously gotten divorced, and they tried to hide the evidence. And no, it is not Bill. We have seen his page on a dating service website and his matches were a toaster and an old shoe.
    >It should be gold and black. If it is red, then it is either explosive a misprint. Dispose of it properly.
    >It should be gold and black. DO NOT PUT IN MOUTH.
     
    4. Place the Thornax in the launcher.
    > If the Thornax does not fit, you have built it the wrong way.
     
    5. Squeeze the sides and watch the Thornax fly.
    > THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT ENABLE USER TO FLY.
    > If the Thornax does not fly over five inches, dispose of it properly.
    > In case you were wondering, Bill works at an art museum.
    > THIS PRODUCT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
    > DO NOT USE WHILE OPERATING HEAVY MACHINERY.
    > DO NOT OPERATE UNDERWATER.
    > DO NOT PUT IN MOUTH.
     
    I might write something similar on the Glatorian Action Figure Game.

    This doesn't involve the buttermilk pie. I only saw one on sale today and I didn't buy it. Ha ha.
     
    So today, they had "beef dippers". Not bad, actually. But then I ask for a disposable tray, and after that, they instantly stop listening to me. I was about to ask for no mashed potatoes or peas and carrots. They both looked horrible. What happens next? Two spoonfuls of each. Seriously. I bet they'd dump that fake white gravy stuff all over it if they could. It was awful. I ate my beef dippers and threw the rest of that garbage away. Tommorrow I either plan on not buying from them or GIVING. THEM. KARZAHNI.
     
    And no, Ynot, I'm not going to stop buying from them altogether.

    I went in the lunch line and saw that they had the buttermilk pie on sale again.
     
    I avoided it, that's for sure.
     
    I'm starting to think they have lots of leftovers. Yesterday they grounded up the hamburger meat and put it on the pizza along with blackened mushrooms.
     
    It wasn't bad, though.
     
    I wonder if the buttermilk pie today was just the leftovers from last time.

    Yup, I've. . . considerably come to a point where I can upload my latest Chimoru revamp onto majhost. This is here so you can download it in case Dark709 doesn't add it to the front page.
     
    Quick secret: I thought up of this when I did the tri-shade Chimoru and thought "What would be overdoing it?" So I made the idle pose for the Matoran and this happened.
     
    Use as you like and give credit where credit's due.
     
    Update 3/4/09: I've PMed the whole thing to Dark. Now I'm waiting for approval. If he approves, I'll be able to revamp his expressions. Next update in the meantime is the alternate green-and-lime Matoran color schemes.
     
    Update 3/9/09: I have permission from Dark to revamp the expressions. They will come in next update along with some new masks. For now, the next update is the original green color scheme on Matoran and Metruan bodies as well as some installments by Philbert and VTK.
     
    Update 3/20/09: The expressions are finished, as well as new masks. I've also corrected Gatotak's name mispronouncication.
     
    Update 3/29/09: Since I did them in the three-shade kit, I have been at war with these sprites. They are proof Dark did not "whip these up in at most a week". They were a brutal pain to make in the three shade kit and they were a pain to make now. The full Toa Nuva spritesheet is now finished. In addition, a new fan-made mask spinny is up.
     
    Update 4/19/09: After a large hiatus, I have decided that the next update involves "Chickmoru", Mercenus' (right?) female Matoran spritesheet. Also, now, you can find the new walking poses for Chickmoru as well as my 360 Kakama Nuva and Akaku in two-shade. You can also find the original Chimoru colors in six-shade. I'm working on some comics I need a six-shade Rahkshi on, so it'll be next.
     
    Update 4/26/09: I recently recieved a PM from Mercenus telling me not to use anything of his due to the leak of Chimoru 2.0, but since I don't have it he said I could continue with what I was doing, which means the movie-style Makuta Teridax could be next. Additionally, the six-shade Rahkshi and Vahki are done. Also, a two-shade non-Gimplifried kraata has been added to the bonus section. Can't believe I didn't post the little guy earlier. I have him in three-shade as well, so I got him from there. Right now, I need to work on Dark's new uber-colorful Matoran spritesheet. It'll be a long, tough battle...
     
    Update ?/??/09: The new Matoran spritesheet is done.
     
    Update 5/6/09: Version 2.0 of the six-shade kit is up. This one is a lot bigger than the last one. Not to be confused with Mercenus's Chimoru 2.0, which I won't be doing for a long, long time. For now, just settle for VTK's Mctoran, Chimoru Alpha, and two versions of Mata Nui.
     
    Update 5/22/09: The Toa Inika and Matoran spinnies are up. I can't think of anything obnoxious or witty to say this time, so the Bohrok are next.

    I bought a DSi today.
     
    I thought it would be impossible to get one. Thank goodness I had all that money saved.
     
    But there's no GBA cartridge so the DS Lite will come in handy.
     
    As an equality, some things like my iTunes aren't on my DSi so the laptop will still come in handy.
     
    And a DSi is not a good idea for making pic comics.
     
    So I bought something I do not need.
     
    Fun to play with, though. I'm glad I bought it.
