I'm catching the fever known as "WANT MOAR LEGO Bricks!" I have birthdays and Christmas coming up, and the latest holiday cataglouge sparked it up again. Plus, I have some money coming in now, so I'm not a total freeloader anymore. So maybe I could somehow treat myself to one of the larger sets from this year. I don't want many... just one. But which one? Here's my thoughts on the sets (not particularly the story, but just the sets.) Vultraz: US $19.99 It might be nice if I wanted some silver or that red mask. But overall, it's just some extra pieces without any cool function... and I already have three Midaks, so I'm not counting that one. No go. Toa Ignika: US $19.99 Well, it has some interesting pieces and a nice mask and figure to go with it, but again no function. However, the price makes it more desirable than others, and Toa Ignika looks pretty amazing. One problem may be availability... he was, after all, a January set. Mazeka: US $29.99 It has some interesting pieces and all, but the overall design is boring. I don't really want a simple turret. The launcher function is sheer win, yes, but not a $30 sheer win. Takanuva: US $29.99 He's a tad more expensive than the titans of old, but from what I've seen and heard, he has a nice complex build and lots of good pieces. And anyway, he looks great. I could always use the extra white, so he's a major consideration. Rockoh T3: US $39.99 This is getting a little high on the price range. It's not the coolest looking of the vehicles... more like a flying block than an actual airship. But it looks to have lots of cool pieces, and the green is nice (even if there is a complete lack of original Mata green). Plus, it has a trigger function that shoots... I don't think either of the other two ships have that. This is also a major consideration, even if it has a crazy Pohatu figure. Jetrax T6: US $49.99 This has a cool look going for it, and plenty of cool pieces, but i don't think it has a trigger function... just those midak blasters, and I'm not thrilled with those. And the price is a little much. Axalara T9: US $79.99 Okay, even if I was willing to pay the price, this thing looks way too ulky for my tastes, And still the firing mechanism is just the midaks, right? No, I want my vechicle to pull a trigger and fire. So there are my thoughts. Now I ask the readers of this blog... which would you recommend for me to get? Mostly it's between Rockoh and Takanuva... but if there's something about the others that's cool, you can also mention it.

Alright, I'm restarting, but I've come up with a new little idea. The next 8 (at least) contests will have a consistent theme; I will select something by the year, and you must figure out what it is. It can vary from a character to an object to a location, but it will be introduced in the said year. (AKA, so even though Brutaka appears in 2008, he was introduced in 2006. Specifics, however, like Tahu Mata, Nuva, or Mistika, Vakama Metru or Hordika, or Jaller Inika or Mahri, will be specified by year.) Since I will be busy this weekend, I'm starting this now. ***** Let's Play 20 Questions. I will think up something pertaining to Bionicle, and you must ask me questions to see who it is. Rules 1: The questions can only be yes or no questions. So "Is he pink" works but "what color is he" doesn't. 2: There can only be one question per post, and no double posting. 3: I will edit my answer into every body's post. You can only add a second question in your post if I have already edited in my response. I am thinking of something from 2001. Now, ask away, and see if you can figure it out in under 20 tries. GO! Choco Frogo wono... the answer was Kanohi Akaku, first introduced in 2001 on Kopaka but also in five other pretty colors, including a sand blue version for the then alive Matoro. It appeared in MNOLG, and was used too... just not by a Toa like it should be. Anyway, CF got the correct answer after persistant pesterings... I will now think up something in which to stump you guys again for next week, which will deal with something from 2002. And I haven't counted all the guesses yet... but it was more than 20.

You get excited when "Le-Koro Band Final" or "Lewa vs Onua Uncut" plays on your iPod. And when both Kumo Rocks and The Bionicle Music (Powerpack) are in your top 25 most played songs play list. And strangely, the song "Rip It Up" by Jet has been surpassed by "I've Just Seen a Face" by Jim Sturgess and "Story of My Life" by Smash Mouth (respectively) in play count. But it's still in third, above "Already Gone" by the Eagles. Yes, it it too late at night and I am paying way too much attention to the order of my iTunes songs...

Is it too much to ask for people to read this epic. Seriously, I put alot of work into completing it in time for the contest. Plus is was really difficult because I was doing hard physical labor (building that retaining wall) during the day and trying to write chapters at night. I understand that I shouldn't expect a giant flock of people that popular authors get... but just two simple posts for months of labor? Is it really too much to ask for people to look back on it? Because I haven't had any good writing inspiration since I finished it.

Having read the latest chapter of Snoop82's BZP-Metru Story, I was reminded of a couple of things from the past. First, Golden Krana's Rank Stories, which involved active members from BZP (although the killing wasn't as rapid as it was in Snoopy's) That, and I once had my own idea for a story. Should I write one and steal all of Snoopy's limelight? (Well, the answer's no, because college life leaves time for blogging but not story writing, but I'll go into details anyway) So the basic idea of the story was going to involve some virus that disrupted BZP-Koro (Metru, Nui, whatever it was called at the time) and the only way to stop it is to go into some sort of virtual world that resembled Mata-Nui, find the virus there, and defeat it. I was going to have it star me and a few of my friends at the time (most of whom are no longer very active). I believe my choices were Apera Kineta, Maslego, and Beepo. As members, they'd all have different skills (art, BBC) but they'd all have personal flaws that they'd have to overcome in the story. Anyway, somehow they were selected to go after the virus (led by an over-zealous staff member who thought he was invincible... I forgot who I was planning to use, but it wasn't Omi, because I didn't know him too well at the time of thinking this up) And the members all take on personas of the Toa Mata, and then... well, have an adventure. My plans beyond that were having the staffie snuff it (or, you know, get injured so he couldn't continue on) and the rest of the members overcoming their flaws, working together, and defeating the virus. It wouldn't have nearly the bloodshed that Snoopy's has, so I don't think I'll even bother. This is another example of "Story Ideas I Once Thought Up But Ultimately Ditched." I have a few more I could share too.

This is a message from the people writing the subtitles during the presidential debate. Yeah, yeh.. weer sorry that the subtit are so bad. Our spelli is off, and we end complic ed words midwa through, and sometimes skip entire sente just when very confusing, especiall when we dont type fhhs agab riitw but don't blame us this is a live deba te and we are typ it up as fast as we can. But if you you are rlying on subtits to undstand what the canads are taking about, then sorry we skip half of whats important. Basically, my roommate is a Japanese exchange student, and English is his second language. He speaks it very well, but he can't always understand our fast speaking television people. I don't mind subtitles too much, so I turned them on to help him out (and myself out too, because face it, sometimes people mumble a little too much) But whenever I'm watching something live, it's very annoying to try and keep up with the subtitles. Besides the five second delay, the people stop typing in the middle of the longer speeches and we lose whatever was said. They're so bad that my roommate gets lost (that and he's not as interested in the debate as me). And for me, they're so distracting that I turn them off. But I thought it was amusing enough to try and type up a blog for it. Anyway, I missed the debate (late night lab) so I'm going to watch a rerun right... now. Night, y'all.

"We can't tell you who we are. Or where we're from. It's too risky, and we've got to be careful. Really careful. So we don't trust anybody. Because if they find us... well, we just won't let them find us. "The thing you should know is that everybody is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you." Not my words... can you tell where they're from?

Yeah, something I just came up with. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Okay, we know that Mrs. Petrelli is Sylar's mom now, right, but we don't know who his father is. All we know is that he was adopted by a woman who collects trinkets and a father who's a watchmaker. Well, I think Sylar's father is Kaito Nakamura, or Hiro's dad. It was hinted in Season two that Mrs. Petrelli and Mr. Nakamura where more than just friends. Why? Because they secretly had an affair and had Sylar. Which means that the ultimate serial killer is not only related to Peter, but Hiro as well. I came up with this on my own last night, but I'm sure others have figured it out too... but really, i didn't steal it from anybody.

I got this great idea after reading this post in the poll about the So-Matoran name. It prompted me to write a short comedy. But it was too long to just post in the poll, and too short to legitimately post in comedies. Sooooooo.... I'll post it here. The So-Matoran Toa: Everybody, everybody, evacuate the village! The Brotherhood army is attacking! So-Matoran: So. Toa: They have an army of Rahkshi and Exo-Toa and Visorak and who knows what else coming after us! So-Matoran: So. Toa: They’re so powerful that not even a team of a hundred Toa could stop them! So-Matoran: So. Toa: When they get here, they’ll lay destruction to the entire village. So-Matoran: So. Toa: If we’re here when that happens, they’ll take us out too! So-Matoran: So. Toa: If all the Matoran die, then the Great Spirit Mata Nui will be in peril. So-Matoran: So. Toa: There’s a possibility that he could die! So-Matoran: So. Toa: If Mata Nui dies, then the universe will collapse in around us. So-Matoran: So. Toa: Then we’ll die too!!!!! So-Matoran: So. Toa: Well, actually, you have a point. So-Matoran: So. Toa: Well, whoever dies first drags the other down with him. So-Matoran: So. Toa: Why should we be worried about Mata Nui when really he’s the guy who depends on us! He should’ve spent a lot more time watching over us, and should’ve acted up when the Brotherhood attacked. But instead, we suffered, and he went down. Dude, this is really all his fault. So-Matoran: So. Toa: So… um, where was I going with this? Man, I went off on a tangent and just… whew, I’m lost. Makuta: Attack! Toa: Oh, that’s right, we were supposed to run away. So-Matoran: Why didn’t you just say that in the first place! *Runs* The End

From a story; so people need to infiltrate a base to get information, but they need to create a distraction, so that while troops move out of the base, a small team can sneak in. Thus there are two groups; the infiltrating group and the other army causing the distraction. The story is primarily first person, so which team should the protagonist go on for maximum adventure entertainment? In one of my stories, the infiltration was supposed to be very sneaky and crafty, but it didn't get displayed because I preferred to put my main character in the heat of a big battle. What would you do? (Assuming you were a writer who could pull off a great piece of work in either circumstance)

Is Lego controlling the release of the leaked pictures in order to create hype on fansites? I dunno, probably not. But here's what they should do. They should create these totally bogus sets and release them. All the people will see them and complain. Other companies will steal the idea and make their own. And then when Lego releases the new (real) sets, everybody is completely impressed and surprised, and the other companies try to sell their plastic junk.

Time to give this a go again... Let's Play 20 Questions. I will think up something pertaining to Bionicle, and you must ask me questions to see who it is. Rules 1: The questions can only be yes or no questions. So "Is he pink" works but "what color is he" doesn't. 2: There can only be one question per post, and no double posting. 3: I will edit my answer into every body's post. You can only add a second question in your post if I have already edited in my response. I am thinking of a Bionicle location. Now, ask away, and see if you can figure it out in under 20 tries. GO! Edit: The Power that Is got it this time around. The answer was Motara Desert... you guys figured it out in 25 tries. BtB asked a question, so I'll pass it onto you... would you guys rather play 30 questions instead of 20? It won't make much of a difference, because it's not like I penalize you for going over the limit, but what do you think?

~ From Takanuva's Latest Blog Entry ~ " He (Pohatu) looked me up and down for a moment, before saying, "I can't say I think much of the color change." "You should talk," I (Takanuva) replied. "You're orange." "Yes, but I wear it well," Pohatu said with a grin. " First of all, I love the very fast updates. Twice a week, as far as I can tell. Secondly, I love all of Greg's references to BZP's griping in his writing (well, maybe not BZP's, but older fan complains that you hear alot of on BZP) Thirdly, I haven't got anything else to blog about, because all my cool blogging ideas require photographs or writing I haven't done yet.

Edit: Bfahome got it again, on the 26th guess (there were a few more after him, but I didn't count them, because it took me so long to get back. And here is the BS01 page guilty of choosing this week's answer through the "random page" option.

I have one. Okay, I finally got a Mistika set (won't say which yet... I haven't completed my review yet for posting) And I saw that it has a connection for a Matoran (be it light or shadow). Well, strolling around BS01, I saw something where it said this was primary to advertise the sets and had no storyline value. But does it? Think. Lewa, Pohatu, and Kopaka (aka, Tanma, Photok, and Solek's rides) go for the new vehicles, and there's no room for a Matoran, now is there? So where do the Matoran go now that their Toa dropped them off? Well, maybe they hitch a ride with the other Toa Nuva... they did meet, after all, in Bionicle Legends 9. The same could be said for the Shadow Matoran... or at least Radiak, as Antroz had to ditch him to hijack Kopaka's flier. I think this makes sense, so I posted it, but I don't think it's worth being a topic in S&T where it would be ridiculed to death or ignored. Both of which won't happen to quite the degree in my blog (I hope...) Also because I have nothing else to post.

Kavihkli Front~Back From the Epic Mystery on Keli-Nui, 6th Place Winner of Epic Contest 7. Kahvihkli is a rouge Dark Hunter, and even The Shadowed One has warned Matoran societies about his defection. Dangerous and elusive, it is believed that he is in the Matoran city of Keli-Nui. Kavihkli is a master fighter, and controls poisons. He carries a sharp pike and a scythe that can hurl globs of poison. He has deadly claws attached to his middle pair of arms. Additionally, he also has the means to fly, similar to Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka. Highly intelligent, Kahvihkli is the only one who knows who murdered Turaga Nolox. Notes on the MOC: I wasn't trying to make something completely original, but more of a basic build that matched the physical description I gave my character. Some points... I am aware that the sockets on the middle pair of arms are a different shade of trans orange than the rest of the socket joints (Rahkshi head trans orange vs Jaller keetongue trans orange) I tried to make the limbs more original, but in the end the basics looked the best. Since I have a low opinion of the BBC forum (or rather, the people there have a low opinion of the topics I post) I'm putting this here. Heck, maybe it'll even inspire people to read the story.
