    I'll be gone on the 14th,15th, and 16th. I might be here if I can get Internet Access at the Hotel I'm staying at, so yeah. We'll see.
     
    For those who don't know, I'm going to my state's capital to participate in the State Spelling Bee. If I win this, I'll compete in the Scripps Natinal Spelling Bee and go to Washington D.C.
     
    Wish me luck, kthnx, and see you soon.

    Well, now Eljay's resigned from the Ventorus. He claims it's because I now lead.
     
    While I try not to be offended by that, we now have two open spots. One will be filled by TNM, or Walter, a long time friend of mine.
     
    The other is still under consideration, and will remain so until further notice.
     
    I'll work on gettting a table up showing the current positions.

    KTM has left BZPower.
     
    Nope, I'm not kidding you. He informed me on a chat site that he has left BZPower forever. He did not specify why, but he assured me it's not a prank, and that he will not return.
     
    This poses a problem for the Ventorus.
     
    As customary, I will be taking over as leader. Except this time It's permanent. He has informed me that his comic series, sequel to Shadow Enclosures, and everything else is discontinued.
     
    Goodbye KTM. You will be missed, friend.

    The absence is very disturbing.
     
    Nothing of note has happened in life recently.
     
    ...
     
    *Thinks of something else to say*
     
    Oh yeah. Got the final BIONICLE comic today.
     

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «PLANET HEADSHOT LOL 
    But yeah, Makuta's death seemed underwhelming. I guess it was fitting, but... I dunno.
     
    The rest of the comic felt a little rushed, but was the perfect way to end the Mata Nui Saga, IMHO.

    Broad incision sits across the evening
    The victim to our fathers lost war
    The restless children sit and mourn the graves
    Of those they've never seen before
    Will they be buried here among the dead?
    In the silent secret
     
    The pioneers
    In dealing with it they march for dawn, of Will and worthy
    The truth be told the child was born
    Man your own jackhammer
    Man your battle stations
    We'll have you dead pretty soon
    And now
    Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
    Man your battle stations
    We'll have you home pretty soon
    And now
     
    Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
    Over arms length they'll break protocol
    Jealous envy for the youngest one
    To be the hero is all I'll ask
    Can I be buried here among the dead?
    With room to honor me here in the end
    You'll be better off too soon
    You'll be better off when you get home
     
    For you,
    I'd do anything just to make you happy, hear you tell me that youre proud of me
    For them,
    I'll kill anything cut the throats of babies for them break their hearts for they were them
    Waiting for you to say: I love you too
     
    The navigator
    The pilot
    Her favorite
    The one they call the vision that bears the gift
     
    Will,
    Do the children really understand the things you did to them?
    And why oh why
    Should they conjure up the will for you my love I would kill him
    we're coming home pretty soon
    Coming home
     
    In the seventh turning hour
    Will the victims shadow fall?
    Should the irony grow hungry?
    With the victory and all they sought for
    We were one among the fence
    One among the fence
     
    We're coming home
     
    Man your own jackhammer
    Man your battle stations
    We'll have you dead pretty soon
    And now
    Sincerely written from my brother's blood machine
    Man your battle stations
    We'll have you home pretty soon
    tonight

    Ok so.
     
    First, I'd like to do a mini-rant on the weapon arms, possibly my biggest dislike of Hero Factory as a whole.
     
    Duncan Bulk. Jimi Stringer. Preston Stormer.
     
    Possibly the best Hero Factory small sets. They all have one thing in common: They use the "Weapon arms."
     
    These arms were initially believed to be a piece of armor that fit onto a normal arm. This was met with dislike by some, because these pieces would have next-to-no MoCing ability.
     
    I hated this. Over time I grew to like it. Now what do we get?
     
    We don't even get the decency of an even number of arms and hands on these sets. On sets with one piece torsos, immovable limbs, and other assorted problems.
     
    I still love 'em though. That's one of my only problems with Hero Factory, those weapon arms.
     
    Now for a crazy dream.
     
    Alright, I was in a Wal-Mart. I dunno what was going on, because when I stepped inside, it was some kind of food festival. So I walked around, tried some food, and ran into some people I know. The Lego aisle consisted of nothing but sushi and fried rice. So, I find a door in the back of the store. I walked through it, and I come out into some theater. Like, an auditorium-size-theater. I wonder for a second why that's in a Wal-Mart, but I shrug and take a seat. Only problem is, few other people are in the theater. So I wait for the movie to start. It never does. Eventually I get down and walk back into the Wal-Mart, only to find that it's been remodeled yet again. It's now some museum about something I've never heard of before. I find a Furno Bike on a shelf containing some kind of skeleton of an animal. I pick it up, and walk home. When I open the Furno Bike, I find it's already assembled. I walk into my bedroom to take it apart for MoCing when I find my room's gone and is replaced with this weird, spherical chamber.
     
    And that ends my dream.

    Sumiki has been discussing on his blog that he is planning to make a 3D game covering BIONICLE year-by-year with the Unity engine. If you are a 3D artist or anything, head over to his blog and lend him a hand in the making of a great game to benefit the BIONICLE community!

    Bye bye beautiful
    Don't bother to write
    Disturbed by your words and they're calling all cars
    Face step, let down.
    Face step, step down.

    (Yes I'll keep my signoff. )

    One of the best sets ever.
     
    I'm talking about BIONICLE/Hero Factory here.
     
    Seriously. So much better than the Kaxium.

    -A head that lets the eyes show fully.
     
    -Lower arms, instead of Hordika necks.
     
    -Feet that actually fit his size.
     
    -Less fail legs.
     
    -A better weapon than a a ball on a stick.
     
    -A more interesting head.
     
    -Actual hands, instead of feet as hands.
     
    Guess I had unreasonable expectations, huh?

    Credit to good ol' Tilius.
     
    Thunder: Failure. The silver Stars feet make it worth getting, though. Anybody else think the helmet looks like Vezon's Ignika?
     
    XPlode: Epic, but waaay too cluttered. Maybe it's because the posers forgot to attach the spine to the torso... Lol.
     
    Corroder: Ew. Av-Toran arms are awful, I'm gonna start calling him Pinocchio cause of his nose, and I don't know what the deal is with his weapons, but they're ugly. Shadow Matoran feet are horrible, and the only good thing is the two Ben 10 limbs: It means I won't have to buy Big Chill.
     
    Dropship: Epic win. Could do without all the stickers though.
     
    Furno Bike: I love you Lego. Too many awesome things to list.
     
    Von Nebula: Epic. Has quite a few problems, but the parts are very nice: Two black Bohrok faceplates, creative use of the Mantax claws to give the head a unique appearance, recolored Hydraxon mask, and more Skrall armor makes this set good in my book.
     
    Rotor: I lol'd big time at the jetpack on hand. Orange Thornax launchers, orange shin guards, and orange Inika armor makes this set good. Has no share of problems, though, which I'll elaborate on in another entry.

    Afl Match: Levacius Vs. Takanuva Stars.
     
    The Zone of Shadows
     
    Mesonak climbed the spiral staircase leading up to his podium. "Let the games begin." he thought to himself.
     
    He entered the podium to roaring applause from the spectators, assembled Matoran, Elementals, and Toa gathered to witness the upcoming battle.
     
    He looked to his right, and saw MT Zehvor sitting down. "Hey MT." he said.
     
    MT nodded. "Hey Meso. Odd that I beat you to your own Arena."
     
    Mesonak rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah, what an accomplishment."
     
    Mesonak cleared his throat, and spoke. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Zone of Shadows! Presenting, Toa Levacius Zehvor and Toa Takanuva!"
     
    Two gates on opposite sides of the arena opened, and Levacius and Takanuva stepped out.
     
    Levacius smirked. "I'm fighting a midget? This should be fun.
     
    Takanuva looked stricken. "No one treats the Toa of Light that way! You just bought yourself a pounding, stranger."
     
    "I'm not a stranger," muttered Levacius. "I'm your WORST NIGHTMARE." Levacius ran forward slamming into Takanuva and knocking him back into a wall.
     
    ***
     
    In the stands, Mesonak couldn't help but grin. "Worst Nightmare? Seriously? That's fail. And cliche."
     
    MT seemed uninterested in what Mesonak had to say; He was too busy watching the fight. "It's better than that rant you made about you being the "Lord of death" or whatever."
     
    "...Shut up."
     
    ***
     
    Takanuva pushed himself off of the wall, drawing his Staffs of light. He hurled one at Levacius, who ducked, barely missing the speeding projectile. The staff embedded itself in the Northwest wall of the arena, causing a spiderweb of cracks to appear from the staff's tip.
     
    Levacius drew his sword and shield, and ran forward to meet Takanuva. He tried a slash with his blade, but it was parried by Takanuva's remaining staff. Takanuva tried to knock Levacius's sword out of his hand, but his staff was blocked by the shield. Takanuva leaped up, landing on top of the shield. He jumped, and began running toward his other staff.
     
    Levacius unleashed several lightning blasts, which followed Takanuva. Takanuva reached for his staff, pulled it out of the wall, spun around, and formed an "X" with his staffs, blocking the lightning. He charged, as did Levacius.
     
    ***
     
    In the stands, Mesonak was growing bored. He decided to kick things up a notch. He pressed a concealed button beneath his chair, which caused several Death Elementals to appear from the Eastern part of the arena.
     
    "Now we'll get to see something interesting, other than these two people clashing swords..."
     
    MT looked over toward Mesonak. "What?"
     
    "Oh nothing, nothing..."
     
    ***
     
    Levacius was the first to notice them: Purple smoke demons waving ebony scimitars, riding on skeletal horses and bellowing a fierce battle cry. Takanuva ran forward to meet them, but was tripped by Levacius.
     
    "Whoops." he chuckled, grabbing Takanuva's staffs. He hurled them at two of the elementals, striking them in the head and causing their essence to dissapear.
     
    "Awesome plan, genius." grimaced Takanuva, standing up. "Now I have no weapons, and you took down a grand total of two. Ah well. I don't need weapons." Takanuva closed his eyes, and shot a pinpoint beam of light toward the elementals. He swept it across the arena, taking out every single Death Elemental. He cut off the light with a snap of his fingers.
     
    An awkward silence followed.
     
    It was broken by applause from a random Matoran in the crowd. More applause followed, until the audience was roaring and clapping with renewed ferocity.
     
    "Hey! HEY!" screamed Mesonak. "Isn't there supposed to be a fight going on here?"
     
    "Oh. Right. Sorry." Mumbled Takanuva, who proceeded to attempt to stab Levacius in the back. But Levacius fipped around, catching his staffs in between his blade and shield. He pulled, and Takanuva's weapons went soaring to the Northwest wall. They struck, causing the wall to shatter. Water poured in, causing several screams to come from the crowd.
     
    ***
     
    Mesonak was pretty upset that Takanuva had taken care of his elementals so easily. He was just about to come up with something else to sabotage the battle when the wall shattered and the arena began to flood. He groaned. "Note to self," he muttered. "Don't host fights in the Arena on a rainy night anymore; It always floods."
     
    ***
     
    Takanuva backflipped, dodging Levacius's swipe, and landed straight on a large tidal wave which cascaded into the arena. He rode the wave for a short time, before leaping off and striking Levacius in the face. Then the wave consumed them both.
     
    Levacius immediately held his breath, trying to formulate a plan. Takanuva was shocked, and was trying to regain his bearings and swim upwards. Then, an idea struck him. He released a gentle bolt of electricity, not powerful enough to kill, but enough to knock someone out. Conducted by the water, it hit Takanuva, who began to convulse before unconsciousness claimed him. Levacius grabbed him, and began to swim upwards.
     
    When he broke through the surface of the water, he was grabbed by Mesonak, who pulled him up onto a raft. Takanuva was hoisted into the stands by several Death Elementals.
     
    Mesonak punched Levacius in the face. "Don't EVER do that to my arena again."
     
    Levacius smirked. "Now now Mesonak, no need to get violent."
     
    Mesonak groaned, sprouting his wings and flying into the stands. Levacius followed suit.
     
    MT was there in a flash. "Nice one, Lev. Congrats on your victory. You nearly gave Mesonak a heart attack when the water came in."
     
    Mesonak gritted his teeth. "It already happened once; Do you know how much work it takes to clean this place? Sure, it's easy to stop the flood," said Mesonak, gesturing toward the large hole which was being patched up by threads of shadow. "But not so much cleaning up the arena itself. If we're going to host more fights in the Zone of Shadows, they'll have to be postponed."
     
    MT shook his head. "No can do, Mesonak. You'll need to find a way."
     
    Mesonak groaned. "We would have to host the next fight somewhere else; And this is the only structure big enough in the Zone of Shadows."
     
    MT tilted his head to one side. "You're smart; Figure something out. In the mean time, let's congratulate Lev."
     
    "Okay." said Mesonak, leading Levacius onto the winner's pedestal. "Ladies and Gentlemen," yelled Mesonak, through the tumult of applause. "I present to you Toa Levacius Zehvor, winner of this match!"
     
    ***
     
    A while later, after the victory party, Mesonak, Levacius, and MT walked out onto the balcony overlooking the lake. MT turned toward Mesonak."Well, that was epic. Got any ideas of where you'll host the next fight?"
     
    "Actually, yes. It's a place outside of the Zone of Shadows, yet a place that is within my realm. It's a most intriguing location."
     
    Levacius appeared interested. "And what, pray tell, is this place called?"
     
    Mesonak grinned. "It's a place you should know quite well, Levacius. You as well, MT, but to a lesser extent."
     
    MT groaned. "Spit it out already, Meso."
     
    Mesonak settled for three words. "The Ruby Citadel."
     
    ~Mesonak~
