    The Worst Is Over

    By Nuju Metru,

    The intense scheduling that was my life this past week has at last eased up. This makes me happy. Hopefully it means I'll be more active next month, too.
     
    I feel like I'm boring these days. It's a little unnerving.

    I've decided to host a contest. The task being set before you is to build a re-vamp of Toa Nuju Metru.
     
    Rules:
    -Only LEGO parts may be used (Majority of which MUST be technic, not system)
    -No Photoshopped/digitally edited pictures of ANY form
    -All participating entries must be in by the 26th of September
     
    Hope to see some great entries!

    Supreme Ownage

    By Nuju Metru,

    One full game.
     
    One walk.
     
    Two hits.
     
    14 strikeouts.
     
    Lincecum, I lurve you. :3 It was so awesome to have gone to this game! Tons of fun - front row bleacher seats. I even got a Rally Rag to show for it.

    Here's a bit of stuff I did last night, to get a general feel for the fortress of the Agents of Chaos (I was waaaaay too tired to do real blueprints). Please note: this is subject to change, and if you have any suggestions, give me them here, and I'll keep them in mind when making the official blueprints.
     
    So, without further ado, the stuff.
     
    (My handwriting sucks, so if you can't read it, just ask me what something says.)

    Kinda funny. See, I've been trying to blog about something for days, but, whenever I got to the "new entry" page, I just couldn't think of what to blog.
     
    So I'm blogging about how I couldn't blog.
     
    Yes, I'm that boring.

    Father we've something to tell you,
    A story of our time
    A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime
    You know you had a dozen sons -
    Well now that's... not quite true
    But feel no sorrow, do not grieve,
    He would not want you to
     
    There's one more angel in heaven
    There's one more star in the sky
    Joseph we'll never forget you
    It's tough but we're gonna get by
     
    There's one less place at our table
    There's one more tear in my eye
    But Joseph the things that you stood for
    Like truth and light never die
     
    When I think of his last great battle
    A lump comes to my throat
    It takes a man who knows no fear
    To wrestle with... a goat
    His blood-stained coat is tribute to
    His final sacrifice
    His body may be past its peak
    But his soul's in paradise
     
    There's one less place at our table
    There's one more tear in my eye
    But Joseph the things that you stood for
    Like truth and light never die
     
    Carve his name with pride and courage
    Let no tear be shed
    If he had not laid down his life
    We all would now be dead

    Okay, so I finished the official designs for the Agents of Chaos fortress... They're very nice and clean, digitally made... These things took FOREVER.
     
    Anywho, here's the basic view:

     
    And here's the top view, showing all of the parts:

     
    As you can see, the perts are helpfully numbered. Well, here's the key:
     
    1. The Moat: A protective ditch surrounding the wall of the fort. Here it is pictured with its wooden stakes and water:

     
    2. The Drawbridge: without the drawbridge down, enemies will have to swim through the treacherous moat, and is another layer to be destroyed when an opposng army tried to break through the doors.
     
    3. The Gatehouse: As the entryway to a fortress is always its weakest point, I've given ours every available defense to strengthen it. If one can get through the drawbridge (A), a set of hefty doors awaits (B), and behind that an metal portcullis, or dropping gate. © (Portcullis functionality pictured below). Between the portcullis and the internal set of doors (E), there are murder holes (D), which are essentially holes in the ceiling above where troops will drop things, from simple rocks to boiling water, on opposing forces trying to enter.

     
    4. Defense Towers: Towers near the gatehouse are to allow for two lines of projectile troops, one above the other, or one in the tower, one on the parapets. The one sin back serve a similar function.
     
    5. Rahi Landing Pad: This is a provided landing area for the organization's flying creatures, and also a takeoff bay.
     
    6. Watchtower: A Tower. For watching.
     
    7. Barracks/Rahi kennels This low, long building houses both out organization's troops, but also our creatures, who are stored in both above-and-below-ground "stables."
     
    8. The Keep: The Fort's main building, this large construction houses most of the important rooms. While the below graphic's rooms remain blank, his is just a floor-by-floor description.

    A- The top level is entirely reserved for the Organization's elite ranks, Generals and Leaders. Their living quarters and war planning councils are on this floor.
    B- The tall-ceilinged main level holds a mess hall, as well as the kitchens and food storages.
    C- The basement is essentially a giant storage, where everything from weapons to emergency food are held.
    D- The sub-basement is the prison level, with cell upon cell crammed in for maximum holding capabilities.
     
    9. The Well: The fortress holds its own supply of water, in case of malicious water poisoning of external sources.
     
    10. The Main Tower: Not only does this tall spire hold the Leader's Throne Chamber and their laboratories, but is also a key defense spot for anti-air attacks.
     
    11. The Parapets: The fort's thick walls are the number one defense it has, and prove to be difficult to scale because of the sharp spines lodged on top.
     
    And I think that's it... Any questions?

    L O S T Marathon

    By Nuju Metru,

    Well considering how awesome LOST is, I decided to watch the whole series over again, continuously, about two months ago. Just today, I finished up Season 5 in a 6-episodes-straight run. LOVE

    Rather Delayed

    By Nuju Metru,

    I couldn't post this week's suggestion entry earlier today due to my receiving and installing of my brand-new (only 45-cents!) copy of BIONICLE Heroes, Homework, and my Parkour Lesson.
     
    So now that it's posted... SotW ideas?

    Obligatory photos of Nuju's room! (Bear in mind I took these at like 10:00, so I wasn't trying to make 'em excellent... which is my excuse for terrible pics. XD)
     

    Closer look at the shelves
    ...And the desk
    My "theme" of MOCs
    MOCing parts, all nicely cleaned up

    Abbey Road poster (duh), and a painting I made
    Bookself the first
     

    Bookshelf the second (inside closet)
    Another set of shelves loaded up with tons of souvenirs and other junk and '08 vehicles
    '09 sets (Cendox and winter Glatorian behind the others)
    Drawer the first (Piraka, Inika, Phantoka)
    Drawer the second (Toa Metru, Toa Hordika, Visorak, Vahki

    Maybe these pics will give you a good idea of what sorta cave I dwell in. You wanna see anything else, just ask, and I'll take a pic for you.

    Contest Reminder...

    By Nuju Metru,

    I'm just reminding everyone that my Toa Nuju Metru revamp contest ends this friday. Here are the rules, for those of you who didn't see them.
     
    Rules:
    -Only LEGO parts may be used (Majority of which MUST be technic, not system)
    -No Photoshopped/digitally edited pictures of ANY form
    -All participating entries must be in by the 26th of September
     
    Oh, and many of you were obsessively asking me about a prize. I will have an avatar and banner made of the winner's MOC, which they will be able to use. (That good enough for you who were vying for a reward?)
