Overlord

My good sir, don't be silly, some of us didn't do that. I don't buy music constantly but the last couple of things I got were Silversun Pickups' Swoon and Neck of the Woods. I'm considering getting Pearl Diver by Malory and 99th Dream by Swervedriver now, but we'll see about that. ~ ~

1/5, unfortunately. I'd think I'd remember your name if I'd actually seen you around. ~ ~

For the record: I've noticed no (major) glitches in Inika Island Assault; the spacebar-based invincibility in Matoran Escape is almost the only way to beat Hakann's final level; and Hakann's "warping" is actually due to the fact that multiple Hakanns are placed in any given level that contains him, in different places (wherever a boss is needed). Sands of Time is kind of shoddy and glitch-ridden. If Strakk is sliding along the ground, he will morph into Takadox and start leaping around if you try to jump on him. Malum briefly turns into Mantax when destroyed. I don't know how it's caused, but in the Barraki Platform Game, Kalmah will often be given no weapon, and his melee attack will simply be whacking opponents with his hand (socket). This actually happens more often than either his tentacle or the cheat-code frying pan, as a weapon. With the slow reaction speed and "porous walls" of BIONICLE Mahri: Hewkii (the Jetix-hosted one, not "Command Toa Hewkii"), there are often glitch movements - Barraki will blink through walls or be pushed off the screen, enemies will appear in inexplicable parts of the level. The Battle for Mata Nui practically is a glitch, and simply doesn't show up on most computers (at least the downloadable versions - I haven't played an online version). Archived online versions of Piraka Attack often fail to display the Pirakas' dialogue. Last and least glitchily, Command Toa Matoro is simply set up such that once you push certain blocks together, you can no longer go in a certain direction (sometimes making it impossible to complete a level/stage). That's all I know, but I hope other people know more. I do enjoy a good glitch. ~ ~

What members do you look for around the forums, even besides your immediate friends? If you came back to BZP after a long absence, is there anyone you'd still look for, or still remember? As little more than an occasional lurker these days, I don't know that many people around BZP now other than the staff. I've never met a member; I never go to LEGO events; I keep in touch rather badly. But I still recognize certain people around the forums, without trying to. Is this true for you, do you think you wouldn't forget anyone anyway, or would you forget with time? ~ ~

I see some good explanations and brief discussion of this trend up above me, so I guess I don't have overmuch to say with all of that having been said. Personally, I don't think BZP can support as many flamewars as before and still remain a nice place (and yes, I realize it doesn't). Like it or not, BIONICLE is fading out for now, and the community here is shrinking - I know, I've been gone plenty myself. I'll be honest: I participated in heated topics back on the old forum, and I think they can add something to the forum, sometimes. With a smaller community and the site trying to streamline, though, we can't afford any leftover bitterness here, especially when the arguments would be over nothing nearly as large. I welcome arguments, myself, and I argue plenty with my friends. But that doesn't always work, and I'm a little glad there's so many fewer flamewar-type discussions here now... even if it so rarely affects me. ~ ~

Tens or >100 posts in COT would be nothing unusual for me on the old forum, if I decided to do that sort of thing. I used to be very active in game topics, but I sort of gave up on everything a while ago. Elsewhere in the forums, the most I've ever done would be 40 or so posts in a day, I think... I wasn't a huge presence. ~ ~

Either 2 or 3. I'm more or less BZP-dead, other than today; I don't follow any topics other than my own, anymore, and it's rare that I get comments on my profile or mentions elsewhere that might stir up notifications for me. ~ ~

I don't think I have any remaining nicknames, as Overlord is easy enough to remember and nobody talks about me anyway. I mean, seriously, I never come up in discussion. As for nicknames used for other people, I have plenty of those, especially for the few Mancers who are still floating around on the forum. I've probably forgotten some in the many times I've been gone, though... ~ ~

I know that feeling, and I hope it passes... ~ ~

I'm surely a sucker for little polybags and promotional sets like this - LEGO knows there's always people like me who'll buy them. If I see this, I think I'll have to get it. ~ ~

That's pretty deep. Indeed. ~ ~

To be brief, I've been existing. ~ ~

I'd advise thinking about it the other way - what if everything will be relatively easily solved? ~ ~

I can remember doing that many, many times. ~ ~

Exactly! It's often hard to get it right when going from the ceiling, too - nothing really to easily give the spin you need for the higher stunts. ~ ~

Yeah, Inconceivable is the highest grade of stunt on the game - very hard to get. The ceiling can be great for stunts like that, but it sure takes time getting up there! ~~

This was actually my favorite of the recent reviews - quite comprehensive. If this set goes on sale I'd certainly buy it if I could. ~~

Color isn't always for everyday, but it can be very nice too. ~~

Silly Koth, everyone's becoming BZP-dead now. Just look at me. This is actually pretty cool though, if lacking in BIONICLE. Or do kids not do BIONICLE these days? No? Okay maybe not. ~~

Wow I'm late with a followup. Thank you though, I had no idea. ~~

A merry Christmas Day in the continuing holiday season. Time to go enjoy it for a little longer. ~~

I... wear black when I have black clothes to wear. I guess today was my day to be the voice of mundanity. ~~
