  1. [Ray]: Find the nearest weapon and defend yourself0931.gifAnd why would you need to do tha-[Ray]: Note broken caution tape0932.gifOh good god the basement door's been opened.[Ray]: Turn around slowly0933.gifMaybe it's nothing. Maybe it isn't RIGHT BEHIND YOU, waiting patiently to DO UNSPEAKABLE THINGS. Yes, you are very sure of that. You'll just turn around slowly and everything will be perfectly fine. Haha what mindless killing machine! HAHAHAHAHAHA![Ray]: Keep denying.0934.gifNope! Nothing to worry about here! Your funeral arrangements will have to wait another day because boy are you safe. You couldn't be safer if you were a fine china vase made of egg shells wrapped in a metric ton of bubble wrap. Go ahead and try to drop you, ain't nothin gonna break this egg![Ray]::::0935.gifPerfectly....safe?[Ray]::::0936.gifAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

  2. Considering how much I hated THe Legend Reborn (seriously, why ditch the makers of the previous 3 GOOD films?), I'm glad they scrapped this. Although, I do also wish that they'd cashed in on the film thing in the long gap between WoS and TLR

    You haven't watched the 3 previous films recently, have you.

     

    They're anything but good.

  3. Thanks again to everyone for sticking with us this far - This is the 800...ish post, and so we have another little poll up for you! If you've read the update, you've seen Ray's got a pretty slick little ride...BUT WHAT SHALL WE CALL IT?We've put our best minds on the job of coming up with some great choices for you - so vote away! We'll close this one this weekend.

  4. [Maddison]: Be the guy in SPACE!0912.gifYou're now the guy in space. Alone in an incomprehensibly vast system of orbiting bodies and intergalactic phenomena, a mysterious void of cold whispers between the stars illuminating a nihilistic path of introspection whose only logical conclusion is one's own utter insignificance. It's like being a speck of sand sitting on a beach, waiting to be crushed by an ocean so large avoiding its grandeur would be the ultimate effort in futility.You have never been so happy.[Ray]: SPAAAAAAAACE0913.gifYes. Space. The finalest frontier. Lifelong dream sure, but you've already spent too much time thinking of increasingly complex metaphors for GEE, SPACE SURE IS BIG. Time to get a move on.After all, your Lil Bro will want to see this.[Ray]: Have Tahusprite make the fire go away0914.gifYou are confident all the fires have been extinguished by the unforgiving vacuum of spaaaaaaaace.[Ray]: Attempt to captchalogue Tahusprite0915.gif

    Ray: Hey T-spriteRay: C'mereRay: I need your help to go get my bro.Ray: Uh....Ray: What?

You can view the wonders of the cosmos perfectly fine from INSIDE the window.[Ray]::::0924.gif

    Ray: ...you'll see.Tahusprite: JUST MAKE HASTETahusprite: WE WILL BE LANDING SOON

    [Ray]::::0926.gif[Ray]: Trip over a robot0927.gifYou successfully trip over a robot. This is your greatest achievement thus far.[Ray]::::0928.gif0929.gifWell THANKS AGAIN BRO. It sure is nice having all these giant toasters under foot! Funny's funny but this has gone on long enough. Who does he think he is, stacking these ironstrocities akimbo like this? Must be some sick mind game - make robots out of things Ray likes, then use them to cause him constant pain and annoyance. What a ######! Your remorse has officially left the building. He deserved a good kick in the pants. Discipline is important for a growing boy after all. Lots and lots of discipline.[Ray]::::0930.gifYou're pretty sure he hasn't had nearly enough yet.

  5. I'm sorry, but these choices really seem strange - if you're going to spend this money, you should go for something as iconic as possible, no? Why of all the options is a rubbish combiner from 2010 on your list? Or a side character from 2007? Makuta's a little more defensible but I think if you're going to be spending money like this, especially other people's money, you should give them better options :/

  6. Ah, the internet's penchant cynicism has marred what would ordinarily be a joyous announcement.

     

    Alas, where has our youth disappeared to? That wide eyed wonder with which we once viewed the world? If I might postulate, perhaps it is time for us all to join hands again and say "yes, I want to believe." Just this time, let's ignore plausibility, facts, and nasty little dates. Let's come together and bask in the glory of wanton optimism. Say to yourself "I am doing this. I am making this happen."

  7. The OS has almost nothing to do with the loading time. .bmps are uncompressed files, they're just naturally larger. It's a matter of courtesy to save your comics using a file format that will not put a strain on internet connections of others.

     

    As for the comics...they suffer from the usual defects these types of comics do, in that you're using very tiny sprites with a lot of blank space. There's little to no context to give a sense of location to these events - it's just white blank space after white blank space. I didn't read the whole series, but of the few I randomly sampled it didn't seem like you were trying for a comic that tells a story as much as you were going for random gags - which is fine, but the funniest comics tend to be more about how characters with established personalities react to events, not just things spontaneously happening. I'd say working with bigger sprites would help - or just zooming in the ones you have so the characters are actually distinguishable from one another.

  8. Oh believe me, the Halo kit put the bionicle one to shame in terms of popularity. I still see it popping up everywhere and get e-mails asking when I'll finish the Arbiter.

     

    Anyway don't be afraid to stick around - Bionicle may be over, but BZP sure isn't!

  9. Funnily, while the poster on Maddison's wall reads 'NBA', or 'Nakodile Baseball Association', it has now been revealed that Nakodiles don't really exist, but are actually called Camodiles. What, next you'll be mistaking a PINKACHEW for a KLETHAIRY or something ridiculous like that.Is this a slight continuity error I'm spotting here? ;)

    Looks like we've beenBUSTED.Comic's over, everybody out.
  10. I have to agree with you, mainly because I find Chima bland and unoriginal. They're animals. Fighting each each other. How many hundreds of times has this been used? It's a bland concept. Laval's Journey I think will sell well, because it's a video game. And kids like video games. And once you buy a video game you really can't get your money back later (unless you refund it). Now, an MMO - to be blunt, that's really quite stupid unless there's no 'free-to-play'. LU was a huge hit - and look how well it didn't do. More people were interested in using it in free-mode than actually PLAYING it. Plus, an MMO set in Chima can't expand its world like LU did - you're always stuck in Chima as some animal, as opposed to LU where there was Ninjago and other varied themes to explore. And a TV show - personally, I think the TV show will be a success only if it's written on an intelligent level as Ninjago was. If it's Hero Factory type dialogue that sounds like it was written by a six-year old, the show will bomb. But heck, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Chima will be a big hit and sales will spike. It's always hard to tell.

    Wait wait wait. back up.Animals fighting each other is bland.As opposed to NINJAS FIGHTING EACH OTHER?That's certainly not a new concept!Lego knows how to sell a line, they've had years of practice and know the pitfalls of making these things successes and failures. That's the thing everyone is forgetting. This isn't Lego releasing a new line, this is Lego building a line out of all the experience they've had selling the ones in the past. Bionicle, Exo-Force, Ninjago, all of it has streamlined how they do business. For example, these lines always have a really strong first year. Why not capitalize on that with these extras? It makes a ton of sense to go full stream out of the gate as opposed to piddling and waiting until the enthusiasm is over to make your move.
  11. It's kind of difficult to tell when there's an update when all the panels are labelled "[???]::::"... just sayin

    It won't last much longer.Also have you tried using the RSS feed on the mirror? Or tracking the topic for new replies? There's lots of fun automated ways to follow it.
  12. Tenuk's right, he changed the mood, but it is important to clarify that the Haccine isn't what it appeared. It didn't allow the computer to do anything it couldn't normally - what it did was allow someone to take over Brian so they could get access to it.As for the console, it has only one ability - to modify the stats of things. So it can change, say, the stats for how athletic you are, the amount of bullets in your nerf gun, or the emotional color your card is coded with. However, as you can see, these small changes can have pretty drastic effects.
