That's actually really neat. I take back pretty much whatever I said before. Good job.

 

I'm kind of wondering how many of you here have actually read Gerlicky's stuff The guy is basically an MSPaint god and people saying he should use a more advanced program is really kind of hilarious

Being good with something doesn't mean you can really dismiss the viability of everything else. You can make excellent sprites in MS Paint, that is true. This is because classic sprites don't use transparency and are made with just the pencil tool at max zoom anyways. I have used this method a lot for my custom Rayg sprites, and it works. But when it comes to stuff like this - any graphics with a bit of AA and/or transparent parts - MS Paint is suddenly useless.Criticizing this topic for including only a few ripped graphics, that is fine. That is valid. Criticizing the images for not being MS Paint compatible when they were never supposed to be? That is just stupid. Especially when the reasoning is that he won't download a free program because he doesn't want to learn.EDIT: Ironically enough, Gerlicky's avatar seems to be made with GIMP or something after all, judging by the rotated sprite view. You can't rotate graphics like that in MS Paint.

Okay, I should probably clarify. What bothers me the most is that this isn't a sprite kit. I'm aware of what a "game rip" is. Had this topic been named sonething like "VNOLG Sprite Project" or "VNOLG Sprite Collection" I probably would have easily disregarded it.

Wait, are you separating MNOLGSCCK from my topic? Because if you just look around, they are exactly the same. The only reason I named it what I did is because I didn't think anyone would find a use at first. Plus, I felt a tad insecure back then, but that's kinda beside the point. But it's a hit! Heck, I even joke about the name on the front page. People often say "Thank you so much for bringing back the MNOLG Kit!" But, I try to keep it user friendly to MS Paint because that's how it started and that's how I started.

Ugh... Okay. What I'm about to say might be a little harsh, but I really wanted to just come out and say this.I am really, really sick of these "kits".This is, for all I care, part of a fad in which people rip sprites from a random LEGO flash game and call it a "kit". And frankly, I'm getting tired of it. These topics pretty much miss literally everything about what a "kit" is.First of all, I consider a "kit" to, at the very least, be usable in Microsoft Paint. I don't know if anyone's aware of this, but some people actually don't have Photoshop or GIMP; myself being one of them. How am I supposed to manually recolor one sprite with at least twenty shades? And don't suggest getting Photoshop or GIMP, because that stuff takes way too long for me to learn.Second, a kit should allow you to make custom characters that aren't just recolors of an existing character. Let's just say you want to make a character that looks like Jaller Inika but wears the "Vision Mask". That is virtually impossible, thanks to the horrible proportions of the sprites.I had something to say about the size of the sprites, but apparently you're working on that?But what bothers me the most about these "kit" is that I'm pretty sure you just took the images of the characters in the game from BS01, which is pretty much the only place I've seen the Hoto bug sprite, because according to BS01, it wasn't even in the game and could only be seen by changing your character into one by using a cheat code! Plus, the Hoto shown here has a bizarre yellowish glow by its legs, which I noticed in BS01's image of it and pretty much blew it for me.And don't compare this to the MNOLG kit just because it was based on an online game. Compare it to the useless MNOLG sprites or whatever, but not the kit by Matoran Onknu. I would actually go far enough to call that a kit, as it was customizable, usable on Paint (once you get the hang of it), and featured custom work (notably in the masks from later years that were not featured in MNOLG II) that actual effort went into!Look, I know I'm being harsher than I should, and I'm sorry for that. But to be honest, I'd much rather see sprites drawn by yourself rather than ripped from a game someone else designed in late 2005-early 2006. Or, if you think you're good enough, try simplifying the sprites so they're easier to manually recolor? Even if you're not that great, at least try making your own sprites.

this is so surreal, a toy franchise is dead and people are arguing over how rotten the carcass is wow

Yeah, come on, everyone, it takes time for Black Six to run in a phone booth and emerge as HAPORI TOHU, DEFENDER OF BZPOWER JUSTICE! FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET, MORE POWERFUL THAN A LOCOMOTIVE, AND ABLE TO PUT UP SET REVIEWS IN THE TALKBACK TOPICS WHEN THE NEWS FEATURE IS DOWN!Anyway, nice review. I can't really see myself buying the set in the future, though; licensed sets usually just don't interest me that much. I do like the Iron Man minifigs, though, so maybe I'll have to find a set with one someday.

My only motive for finding and buying Mr. Gold would be just so I can not tell anyone on the internet I have him, throwing all the fanatic AFOLs into a panic looking for THE VERY LAST MR. GOLD after the other 999 have been found... not knowing it lies in my possession the whole time.

are you preprared for..........MORE FAN COMIKCS??????/???/?

SPOILER ALERT LEAKED NEW TAHU 2015 SET:

I say if they changed everything to BACZPower, it would be the greatest staff prank ever.

For a two-panel (or, one-and-a-half panel) comic, I'm laughing way harder than I should be.(Also SPECEAL GEUST TRIOLOGY comic was amazing but I read it already so)

You do realize Ninjago is returning in 2014, right?Or did they change their minds and say that wasn't going to happen? I generally don't keep track of these things.

I'm glad there's another review, sadly it isn't yet in the talkback, is it a fault our does it just needs to edited. I guess the latter

I'm unfortunately not omnipresent. The review is there now.

time for a NEW yet SUBPAR FANCOMIC

vezon, because he was a pitiful excuse for comic relief

I'm going to say Onepu, because we're both seriously underrated. I mean, really. When was the last time Onepu was relevant in bonkles history? And he was one of the only sets with purple. Onepu was really great but no one cared because everyone cared more about Kopaka and Vezon, who I'm willing to bet 75% of the people here are going to compare themselves to.And no one cares about me either.

As the only other person on this earth who will understand most of those jokes, I can safely say that was your best BAC fancomic yet.

its TIME..........for a FNACOMIC......................truly this is the best comic I've ever written

If I were still a mod I would give you two PE boosts for this post

Oh, so the moderators in charge of this forum deleted my four-word review? Is "wow that was amazing" an insufficient response to such a glorious masterpiece of which no words must be said to define its true brilliance? Fine then. I shall obey the rules of you big fat meany-head no-good good-doing do-gooders (>) and provide a lengthy review of this comic¹.As a member who has been through much of what the authors have faced (as well as one who occasionally browses through Lime's brickshelf when I get bored, also don't go there), I find myself understanding much of the inside jokes used within the series. As per BAC standards², this comic held its share, among those being the "antagonist", I suppose, of the comic, as well as the term "HATE DESPAIR"³. For that reason, I found the comic absolutely hilarious; however, I'm sure others would not understand the comic and completely miss what makes it so great. For this, I recommend considering looking at the comic from the viewpoint of one who wouldn't understand any of these inside jokes before posting it on BZP⁴.The cast of characters was also excellent. In addition to Lewa and the antagonist, I was also pleased to see the return of yaoihands Axonn. The generic picture of the All-American Rejects was also a good selection, as it gave way to another BAC joke: focusing on the one guy's bizarre expression, blended with the background of a bald eagle and an American flag.But the one thing that surprised me about this comic is the fact that it exists. Somehow, I had deluded myself that usually when a BAC comic uses the phrase "TO BE CONTINUED" (or some misspelled variant of it, anyway) it actually will not be continued. Of course, given that this comes from a comic that releases Halloween or St. Patrick's Day comics as Christmas specials⁵, I really shouldn't expect anything ordinary, given this particular style of comic making.In conclusion, I found this comic to be another BAC classic. It features all the elements of the perfect BAC comic. For future reference, I do recommend you listen to my few suggestions on how to make it better⁶. However, I don't believe a giant wall of prose and questionable grammar would suffice in summing up how I truly felt about this comic, so I'll make it brief:Wow.That was amazing.¹ With footnotes to make it look even more professional.² Yes, BAC has standards. Trust me on this one.³ Sorry but no, I'm not going to explain every inside joke to you.⁴ And then promptly post it anyway, because those guys can just deal with it. :shades:⁵ I just realized that if this is the big Christmas special for this year, it would make it all the more amazing.⁶ No, you don't have to take my suggestions if you really don't want to. Actually, I'd prefer it if you kept making comics exactly like this.

"All seven"? I thought there were eight. Which ones do you have right now?_{and if they're holding off Bulk this year I swear}
