There are many events from my childhood that I can peg down to an exact year, because I remember which Bionicle sets I bought during that period. I know exactly where I was in the summer of 2007, for instance, because I vividly remember buying Jaller Mahri. And we must have visited my aunt in early 2007 because I remember she gave me Mantax.

BIONICLE feels much more like it was building up to something gratifying than anything else that was going on during my upbringing. Maybe this is a common feeling, or maybe I am just losing it.

You're not losing it. Bionicle was definitely the most compelling thing going on throughout my whole childhood, too. Well-put.

Awesome list! Coup is one of my favorite games ever, and I highly recommend the sequel "Coup Rebellion." It's the same structure, except there are a couple dozen different cards which are randomized each session. Makes the game way more dynamic.

Settlers is great too, had a lot of fun times with that. I'll have to check out some of the ones you highly recommended, they look fun. You ever played Dominion?

Love it. I always considered Axonn to be my favorite set.

Congratulations!!! Marriage is such a beautiful and courageous commitment, and I am excited for the two of you. You look very happy together. A LEGOLAND wedding is a totally awesome idea!

I know that voice like an old friend...

"I have found that even though it drowns out other voices... there are some it cannot drown out, once you listen to them. Another, more confident voice, strengthened by the support of friends; emboldened by the knowledge of what one is capable of; and actualised by the desire to finally get rid of it."

That is a wonderful perspective, and a good reminder for me. Stay strong, Mr Timid.

Aanchir, that is amazing. Congratulations, ma'am!

Dumbest canon name is "Gadunka."

Congrats, I know how exciting it is to get a new PC. Looks lovely.

I have to shave for work, but when I do grow out facial hair, it's blonde with spots of black and barely grows past a scratchy stubble. The areas around my jaw are terrible, they only grow a few long strands of hair and are otherwise smooth.

Hopefully someday I'll be able to grow something. :| 

All the math that I was ever taught in school. Also all the history, and most of the science and grammar.

Well, shoot.

I work in customer service, sometimes a single rude customer can put me off for the entire day.

Fortunately people around here are really nice so that never really happens.

-Build credit

-Buy a car

-Use said car to get a better job

-Finish writing my book

-Complete five tracks for my new SoundCloud page

So far all of my goals are on track. Might go to college once I have a new job and a car.

Computers.

Who needs the wheel when you can order everything online?

Oh hard shell, definitely.

Can't imagine how exciting it must feel to have your creation released as a set. Congratulations!

I love the design for #3!

...so, #3 gets my vote.

I really wanted to be an archaeologist, until I was about seven years old, at which point I decided I wanted to paint stuff. Never followed through on either, though.

I'll take one of the small 2014 shirts...I've always wanted a BZP tee-shirt.

I don't really know what's going on but I'm glad your staying.

Happy anniversary! I distinctly remember you being really active in the forums five-or-so years ago. Time really flies. O.o

Interesting. Hopefully Harrison Ford passes the torch to someone new, though...and please no aliens in this one. Or "interdimentional beings" or whatever. :x

I think it'll be good. No way they're going to mess it up like the previous film.

Congratulations, sounds really interesting

Oh geez, thanks.

Mind if we share this on the BZP Facebook page? It's pretty darn stunning.

Go ahead.
