SPIRIT

I didn't join the long list of celebrity deaths. That's a pretty good memory for me.

Papuchia Village. Sunny beaches, great background music, and you can fly!

"And if you pre-order now, you'll get a special disk containing forward-compatible versions of all video games from SPIRIT's childhood." reggie pls

Build a double for yourself out of Lego so you can attend both events at the same time. Then just wait for the hilarious sitcom hijinks to ensue.

Oh man, I'd better hurry over to AT&TPower before someone snatches up the SPIRIT username.

It just hit me that I hit this point like 6 months ago.

I've been thinking about this more, and you could argue that some interpretations of Tarzan or the Jungle Book fit this. Although genetically human, Mowgli and Tarzan are raised in a world where they are considered outsiders to the animals and suffer a lot of prejudice because of it. When they eventually try living with the humans, they suffer predjudice there too. So they aren't really biracial, but you could certainly say they're bicultural.

Well, Lego forums. You were always a little outdated, clunky, and I hardly ever used you, but you will still be missed.

This is something he's been alluding to for a while, but it kind of makes sense based on what he's been telling us. Yes, it's a bit of a let down that these ethereal old god type characters turned out to be just regular dudes, but hear me out. In the human world, you've got a large variety of humans with different skills and abilities. If your only experience of humans was MMA fighters, of course you'd have trouble believing that we'd painted masterpieces, travelled to the moon, split the atom, and found a way to put whipped cream into an aerosol can. These are creatures that surely must live for MILLIONS of years. Where 100 000 years is a fairly long amount of time, but nowhere near an entire lifespan. In this amount of time, humans went from stabbing mammoths with spears to playing on smartphones. So it is totally plausible that you'd have this differentiation in roles for the Glatorian species. Whether or not you like it is a separate issue. Please stay tuned for Generation 3.

Well if you were lying on the ocean floor with a gaping hole in your chest as a catastrophic amount of seawater poured into your heart over the course of a thousand years, I'd imagine you'd rather be asleep too.

The Legend of Korra comes to mind, where we see Aang and Katara's kids. Tenzin adopts his dad's culture, Kya adopts her mom's culture, and Bumi ends up doing his own thing.

You're a head of your time

According to Max Planck, we're always teleporting, just across very small distances.

No, everything is Firefox.

Dr. House

Eat. Sleep. Rave. Repeat. I might even cut out all the raving.

"Have a nice day"? Did you just assume my timezone?!

Do you have duck feet or do ducks have your feet?

Well none the of the other elements were released as sets or really took centre stage, but most of them fit very poorly with the original elements, and I guarantee you'll find more fans who didn't like those elements than want to get rid of Stone. And yeah, Ice is definitely on thin ice if people want to get rid of Stone. Bionicle tends to treat it as "Toa of Cold", but I could see arguments for replacing it with Storm, Lightning, or something more obviously distinct. Kopaka's very popular, though. I imagine that replacing him would be a very hard sell. And I think Earth is a better catch-all than Stone in terms of what those powers can do. While being unique is nice, you don't want to end up confusing people.

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party, but I would like to formally state my support for the Anti-Stone Camp. What I propose in its place is rather controversial: Pohatu becomes the Toa of Wind. Please note, I'm pretty sure I'm stealing this from a thread from a few months ago, but I really like this idea and I don't remember who started the thread so sorry, but thanks for the idea. So if we look at the other Toa of Gen 2, they can pretty much control all the forces of nature. I think it's rather silly to give Lewa both the ability to control plants and air, when we have the Earth-Stone debate raging on. So you let Lewa keep Jungle (or name it Plantlife or something more universal), and you give Pohatu Wind (largely because it sounds cool, and because it might confuse people familiar with the previous gens to call him a Toa of Air). Now, while you start sharpening your pitchforks and lighting your torches, I'll allow that there are many differences between Stone and Earth, but if we want 6 very DIFFERENT elements, I think this is the path to go down. My alternate suggestion would be the Toa of Storm, where he can make rain and lightning and stuff. This seems a bit overpowered, though, so I think Wind is a fair choice. Really electricity is the only standard elemental thing missing in a core Toa team (but I think I have a few cool ideas for how this could be included in a fun way, but I digress once again). "But wait, if we keep Jungle, what do we do about the Wind environment?" Picture this: A village of Matoran living in a wide, open field. Tumbleweeds bounce along the endless expanse of scrubby grassland. Great windmills capture the wind and use it to grind flour or stones for the other villages. (My G3 would have an emphasis on using renewable energy to inspire a new generation of environmentalists, but I digress). Suddenly. Who should appear, but Pohatu and his Kitesurfer Shield? Maybe he can fly with it, maybe he can block attacks with it, or maybe he can just go to town and bash the heck out of people. In Gen 1, Pohatu can run like the wind; in Gen 2 he can make sandstorm tornadoes and fly. It has always been Pohatu's true destiny to be the Toa of Wind. #BreakStoneNotWind Attention to any LEGO execs reading this forum post, my treatment for Bionicle Generation 3 is available upon request and includes detailed descriptions of the other five villages along with descriptions of local sports, customs, and cultural practices all from an anthropological framework. This treatment includes the outlines for multiple possible story arcs in addition to several movie, book, web content, and immersive RPG video game tie-ins. Please contact me for further details.

Happy Hallowe'en everybody!

I can't play as her either. Because I don't have the game.

You'd better simplify those fractions, buddy, before the math police get here.

This was always who you were.
