Well this single will be hard to top! I hope that's not a problem for you!

Rest In Peace In Peace?
Is that like an ATM Machine?

I find it a little hard to believe that a dying Bonkle site could buy the whole Lego company but at the same time we need to ask members for measly $15 donations to fix things.
Every penny counts.

Ah. I knew it would be a prank.
Maybe it is, but your chickens are still being counted before they've hatched. Even I don't really know what's going on.
Just a bunch of eggs.

You know what they say - the truth is always far stranger than fiction. Believe you want, but I promise you there's at least one thing on your list that you're wrong about.

It's for the best. We've all had our flirtations with Comic Sans - believe me, the reason they become so overused is because initially these fonts seem very attractive. They're often free or come pre-installed on a system, stand out from an otherwise hard to distinguish crowd, and for the uninitiated seem like a great way to stand out. The problem is that they end up doing just the opposite.

@Kahi & Brickeens: NEVER!
Actually I'll be honest I have thought about just writing in standard plain default text on BZPower before since I kind of find formatting my posts properly to be more trouble than its worth at times. Still I been writing this way on BZPower for so long now that is like second nature to me now and well, I identify with text style that I used.
Beside, I happened to like using Comic Sans font. It has been my favorite font style since I stumbled upon in Microsoft Word so many years ago. So yeah, I am not ditching it. And really I don't understand why people on internet seem to hate Comic Sans so much. *shrugs*
So tough cookies, I am still sticking with my style of writing on the internet.
Hey, you know what'd be a great idea? Let's repeat yesterdays giant political/social warfare, but then about Comic Sans! =D
Actually, let's not
go to Camelotdo that.'tis'twas a sillyplacething.But aside from the general hatred the Internet seems to have simply because the Internet already had that hatred when they joined, the most major criticism about the Comic Sans-font, as said by comic authors themselves, is that Comic Sans basically uses the font traditionally found in comics, and messes it all up. (Don't ask me how, I'm not an expert in these things, nor do I pretend to be one)
Personally I don't use BZP's 'Customize-yer-posts'-function though, since from a webdesign-standpoint it just generally messes things up. I get why people are using it to create their own sort-of "brand", but that's rather the thing I'd like to leave to my avatar and signature.
Comic Sans is hated for very specific reasons in typography: First, it is not well optimized. It has really awful kerning in places, and generally the letterforms do not flow well together, especially at small sizes, where it can become nigh unreadable. In short it is designed without thought. Still, there are thousands of typefaces like that, what makes Comic Sans (and things like Curlz MT, Papyrus, Bleeding Cowboy, etc) so hated is their OVERUSE. On any given square mile you will almost always find at least one storefront using one (or more!!) of these fonts on their displays, or even as their logo. It's so polluted the world of design that it's almost an evil act to point it out - once you know how to spot one of these red letter fonts, you will never stop seeing it and it will infuriate you more each time.
In short: It is a lazily designed font, that is often used by equally lazy people not interested in visual appeal.
That's why it is hated.

Your unabashed love for hit pop music always brings a smile to my face.

Well, when it comes to the Japanese figures I collect, you pretty much have to preorder if you want to get the best deal or sometimes even get the item at all..Protip: Never preorder. Always buy after. You're basically loaning them your money interest free for a month or however long.
I assumed you meant videogames.

I know I'm not the normal blog guy, but Mak's having phone troubles, so to quote my gigantic friend:
"Conversation stops now. Since it has been established we aren't capable of having a rational discussion on this matter,failure to heed this warning gets proto drops." -
Sorry dude, last year I went three months working 7 days a week in 100 degree weather. I would trade you jobs in a second

I still stand by what I said man, it's not a bad MoC, but it's not a good representation of a rabbit, and since that was the point that's why you are getting bad feedback. Just take it the criticism and grow as an artist with it, that's the only thing to do.

I think the choice is pretty clear. Yo. Yo. Home. Skillet.

Haha, interestingly enough I work for a company that does illustrations for self-published books. I hope yours is better than some of the ones I've read, there have been some real stinkers

I don't see any tie-dye on that ape. I am highly suspicious.

Hey buddy, don't have a dime to my name right now but wishin you the best of luck with all this! I've had to rebuild a house or two in my time, not fun.

We are aware, and it is being worked on.

Technically your definition is correct, but seduction at the very least tends to imply subtlety, and I have to say watching that show it was anything but. "Oh, look at this giant flower that exists for no explicable reason, I'm sure it is completely innocent". My foot.
Obviously I'm way outside the demographic Lego is trying to hit with this show, but it had some serious issues when I watched it - first and foremost, the female character cast is non existent. The Eagle girl is definitely portrayed as helpless and the only other girl amongst what appears to be an extremely large cast is a generically evil sibling. The animation was okay, but where it really fell down was in giving things any kind of appropriate weight - the people and vehicles moved like they didn't have any mass. Frankly the story was really disappointing - not because it was bad, but because I actually thought it had some potential at first. Instead of what I was expecting, which was "oh, the crocs are bad because they are", we got one as a main character who is a best friend of the lead, who then is forced into opposition with him because the apparent death of his parents (although frankly having the croc cut that rope was so ridiculous. I don't understand why it couldn't have just snapped on its own.) Then evil sis shows up. Cue eye roll.
I did like that at least the crows didn't seem "evil for evil's sake". They just like shiny things, pretty funny stuff.

Question the scurrilous owners of this blighted manor and its seedy halls - these underhanded societal climbers must be in cahoots with the bugs!

Well as fun as upgrading computers always is, it never hurts to get more RAM.
Also, why not an External Harddrive? Backup some files that you might want to keep but aren't necessarily mission critical.

I'll have to look on in awe at your awesome book my friend...ah, the life of a destitute artist.

No surprise, Hasbro steals Lego's designers, then they steal Lego's business model, now they steal the constraction concept.

Yep, waaay too floaty.
I lost count of what level was what, but the tetris one was really cool, and way more unique than the rest of it. If you want this to be a super meat boy esque game, which is how it plays right now, you really need to make those controls tighter and faster.
