First, what is your favorite Bionicle online game. Then, what is your favorite online game related to anything?

It was a nice spring day in the park. The flowers were beginning their annual bloom, making the field burst with colorful swaths of bloom. Clusters of red and yellows clashed against each other in a peaceful battle amid the greens, their pitched fights interrupted only by the hovering of a hummingbird or the buzz of a bee. Birds chirped noisily in the trees, some plucking crumbs tossed by pedestrians. The setting was peaceful, and the lord seated on a bench enjoyed this scene, absorbing the environment with glee. He fumbled for his pocketwatch and glanced at the time before promptly putting it away. His company was almost late. Still at peace with his surroundings, however, he scarcely dropped a beat in anxiety, not even hitting his cane in worry of his potentially belated friend. He looked at the passerby, some well dressed businessmen enjoying a bit of free time from their work and a smattering of youthful joggers bouncing down the trails, but none of them matching the descriptions of his ally. He payed closer attention to the businessmen, however, and his heart skipped a beat as they lingered in front of him. Suddenly, one of the suited men wheeled around and produced a pistol and nonchalantly fired the weapon at the seated lord. The elder man fell back with the bench, which as it happened was not bolted to the ground. The powerful cartridge pounded him with such force that the entire bench dumped him on his back. But there was no blood, no sign of wound; the lord flopped on his back, groaning, an then got up, to the shock of the would-be assassins. He stood there for a second to give the men a hateful glare before whipping a Skorpion from under his coat and spraying the men with bullets. The two men quickly fell, not protected like their target. But as the lord vanquished the men, he could understand why his friend had not arrived. Seizing the opportunity, he bolted, and after him the dirt flared and trees splintered. The park tourists fled or ducked away from the violence that brewed. The lord came across another killer and flung his cane at him, and as the shaft of the cudgel met the man’s chest, the pointy end of the sword that was suddenly exposed pierced his jugular, emptying his fortitude with haste. The lord dropped another killer who hid too casually behind a tree before the telltale click of an empty magazine sounded and he had to duck himself behind a cement barrier to reload. He looked out before him and admired the contrast between the massacre and the beauty of the park, but he knew violence was the only answer now. With his friend dead, there would be no respite in the war brewing in the lord’s home country. There would be no peace. He primed the chamber of the weapon and emerged from his hiding place, ready to bring his wrath down on the insurgents.

Anyone here on BZP play the TrackMania games? I have TrackMania Nations Forever and TrackMania 2: Canyon. Both are very fun. I mentioned back when the forums came back that I needed to clean up this blog, TrackMania was the reason I didn't. I've probably put around 20 hours into TrackMania 2, and exactly 73 hours into TrackMania Nations. Boy, I'm getting really good at spelling TrackMania.

Right, my brother got the new Rocka today and I think he's epic. But, flicking through the instructions I found a surprise: in the advert for the core code gamey points thingamajig, there were pictures of a HF game, so similar to Breakout, yet so different.EDIT: Picture now!This game looked interesting. It had pictures of Stormer 2.0 battling minions in a volcano, a green factory and a winter wonderland.The enemies all looked like something I've seen in a leaked picture of the summer I will not name, and there was a powerup bar at the bottom.Intriguing.I think this is a prototype for a second Breakout game, where you can unlock different variations of Heroes (1.0, 2.0, 3.0, Breakout etc.)Reasons it might be what I just said: [*]Black Phantom escapes in the current Breakout game and you don't catch him[*]Breakout is expected to continue through summer[*]It's on the back of Rocka's bag and in the instructions, keep in mind this is a month after the current game was releasedLet's be hoping these aren't prototypes for the current game.What do you think?

BIONICLE SMASH -DOWNLOAD ON MY WEBSITE- Well, I was at my friend's house this afternoon and we both LOVE bionicle, so we went to see if BZP was back up. I have been waiting for ages, because I never wanted to do a final release of Bionicle Smash with it out of order. I am very happy now.For new guys (although I don't think there will be any), Bionicle Smash is a project I started in 2010 to celebrate 10 years of Bionicle. When I found out it was the last year of bionicle as well, I decided to make it special and have EVERY SINGLE Bionicle set EVER. I have nearly reached that goal, I think I have only left out Gudunka (I can't find a sprite) and some of the glatorian vehicle guys (because I don't like them). But to make up I have lots of MNOLG characters and characters like Dark709 and Gavla. It is a fighting style game like Super Smash Bros. It's 2.5D.Features: [*]over 200 characters[*]over 25 stages[*]play 1 player against smart AI[*]play 2 players with your friends[*]2.5D[*]Familiar areas and characters[*]-NEW- Powerups[*]-NEW- Escape a match without escaping the game with <esc>[*]WARNING: BIG FILE SIZE DUE TO MASSIVE CHARACTER ROSTERSome of the music tracks are missing for some reason, this is not my fault. I don't really want to go back and put them all in again because I already have 2 other projects I'm working on at the moment.Talking about other projects, I've developed a heap of games not related to Bionicle in the past... year. My main game was Drawing Galaxy. It has 100 levels of drawing planets to get to the goal. I also have made the first publicly released GameMaker Facebook game! It only took 3 hours including all the uploading, but it is still and achievement.Here is my game website (which now has free online games):-LINK-It has just about all of my published work on it.My friend and I are thinking of making a MNOLG3, but it may be a while...Anyway, I hope you enjoy the FINAL build of Bionicle Smash...EDIT: Wow, the forums have been up for THAT LONG! I guess I never went to the forums from inside BZP (google gives the old site). Oh well...

Basically, you have to add a bit to the story each post, eg: Rules:You have to finish the sentence in the last post in each post. One noun per sentence.*It must be BIONICLE-related.*NEW RULE: I can remove something from the story if I think it is against the previous rules (this has been added in light of recent events. *Glares at King Joe*)‹br /›‹br /›*Some exclusions apply, eg: In cases of ninja-ing (I've always wanted to make a rule about this!), the first poster's post will count. The person who was ninja'd's post will not count, unless edited before the next person posts.I will begin:In the time before time, there was a...

This is the BZP clan of Terraria. IP: 127.0.0.1:7777World Name: BZP WorldServer Password: BzpterrariaSo yeah, this topic is where all of us BZP goers can talk about Terraria, and if we actually want to play then go to the BZP World and hang out and make slime soup!Rule Time!!!!1.No profanity, we want to keep it clean.2.No spam, because that is kinda dumb.3.When setting up play times, if you happen to no-show, please notify the person who you are playing with before hand you won't make it, if it's a group it doesn't really matter though.4. And lastly, have fun!Now, you can set up play times here with people on your own server, or the server listed above with me. Nothing has been done yet on the world so all of us can start from scratch, and no I won't play it solo and crash all your houses....maybe... But anyways, you can also talk just anything about Terraria also, like help on bosses or just tips or just discussing how amazing it is. So have at it.(One more thing, we will have a website up as soon as we can to better post events and discuss there as well as here.)

So, anyone remember Rock Raiders? I only ever got one set ( the small one that contained most ofthe characters) and the computer game. I recently re-installed and started playing the game and wasreminded how fun that game was.So, anyway, discuss the Lego theme Rock Raiders here.

Well here we are again. We have MoCists like Felix, Brickeens, and Oblivion who have improved their MoCing skills ten fold during the downtime. And then there's me. I admit that I haven't been working on MoCs a lot during the time the forums spent offline. The community has been my drive for making better MoCs and I didn't have them to help me along. Add that to the fact that my interest in Lego Bricks has been failing since Bionicle's end and needless to say my skills have not improved all that much. But... I did do some work and today I'll post some of it for you guys. Meet GLaDOS from Portal 2! >1<>2<>3<>4<Comparison Pic Thanks for taking a look at this!

Everyone likes puzzles, am I right? And everyone likes being classy, am I right? It thus follows that everyone likes the Professor Layton games. If you aren't familiar with it, Professor Layton is a series of games for the Nintendo DS focused around solving brainteasers and other puzzles while investigating some greater mystery as the good professor (you can tell he's classy, he's got a top hat), all wrapped up in some great art and music. Personally I've loved these games since the first one (Professor Layton and the Curious Village) came out in 2007, but the newest game, Professor Layton and the Last Specter, which just came out yesterday, is a prequel, so if it sounds like something you'd like it's a good starting point. Any other BZPers fans of the series?

Okay, so I played this once, and I think it's pretty fun. Basically, someone makes a wish, and you corrupt it, then make your own wish. For example: User1: I wish I had a puppy. User2: Granted, but it's an ugly Bulldog-Schnauzer mix. I wish I had a hot dog. And so on. Without further ado, Let's get started! I wish I had a 3DS.

Rate the person above you on a scale of 1 to 5 based on how well you know them.

Because this amazing competitive RTS and e-sport deserves a topic. Feel free to discuss anything - Brood War, SC2, strategy, upcoming expansions and new units, the pro scene, etc.

Hello, and welcome to TOPIC #4 of Song Association. It's a new day Topic approved by Than the MoaHere are your rules...1) only post a song no more than 3 times per week. If someone else posted it, you can still post it 3 times.2) If a lyric is innapropriate you should not post that lyric. Use the Grandmother Rule... do you want her to see/hear it? If not, don't post it (Alternatively, if your grandmother listens to worse lyrics, pretend she doesn't and just don't post it anyway.)3) Try to keep the songs random... don't just post one band five songs in a row and leave it at that.4) Try to keep the genres flowing... don't stick to just, oh say, rap and then rap for the next 3 weeks... we're a big board, plus we have a lot of music genres. The exception is rock, since it has a multitude of genres, such as Alternative, Grunge, and Metal.5) Post some sort of Reference to the previous song if it is not immediately known... if you don't, it will be reported... if we have a bunch of these, then I'll just ask for the closure of this topic. That wouldn't be very fun, you know.6) Don't post a song that's been covered by another band/artist (example being Iron Man by Black Sabbath and Iron Man by Ozzy with a ref of "Ozzy did it too!") Those tend to pull us into those Genre loops as well, and doesn't exactly flow the game very well. This does not mean you can't post (example) Home - Daughtry off of Home - Foo Fighters. If the song is a cover, then its not allowed.7) NO songs may have titles with curse words. NONE. Doing so will result in punishment from the BZPower staff, as they see fit (either bypassing the filter or such). You are hereby forwarned.First Song:So, for the first topic, I chose to do something unique... I threw up my Zune Software, hit random in all songs, and the first one I get to was it. November Rain - Guns N' Roses You must make reference to one of the following:Song titleBandLyricwith another of the following:Song titleBand (new band or old band/new song)Lyric (in a new song) Enjoy -Swert

I recently started playing MNOLG2 again, and have been having a great deal of trouble beating the other teams, probably due to the fact that I don't know what each stat does. I know stamina lets you run for longer, that speed makes you run faster, that accuracy increases your chances of shooting straight and that strength makes you shoot the ball faster, but what do Willpower and Strategy do?

So, after reading DLC containing pretty much all of the first Left 4 Dead is coming out for the second one soon, I was thinking of picking up a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 for halloween. Can I get some first-hand opinions?

Topic for Battlefield, the nearly ten year-old series of combined arms shooter games from the Swedish developer DICE.Now to lay out a few rules: - I'm against Call of Duty just as much as the next Battlefield fanboy, but I don't want anything regarding the silly debate on which is better here. None. At all. - On a similar note, no console warring here either. Though when it comes to Battlefield, I can't stress enough how much you're missing out on by not playing on PC (nondisputable).- If you're just going to say negative things about what you heard of or experienced during the beta, we don't wan to hear it. Bye.NOW I'M DONE.I've played every Battlefield game released on PC, and I loved the beta they released a couple weeks ago (despite its flaws). The Caspian Border Map was especially nice.Now discuss.

And I return. So much for trying to establish a regular writing schedule. XD I've been putting it off for weeks. However, something has recently happened that inspired me to post. The following entry has absolutely nothing to do with Bionicle. It entirely has to do with the upcoming Mass Effect 2. I did warn you that I was a fanboy. So. Like the true fanboy that I am, I have been following Mass Effect 2 info as it comes out. I have assimilated all the information that is available, and even managed to formulate a tentative theory as to the nature of the story in the second game. For those of you unfamiliar or who simply haven't been following as obsessively as I have, I'll recap the info that I am currently aware of. If I'm missing anything or got something wrong, feel free to tell me. The setup of Mass Effect 2: Shepard is dead. At first we thought that it was just something BioWare came up with to rile up the fans; later on, they revealed that although Shepard isn't dead in the game, he could quite possibly die in one outcome of the game. And no, they don't mean a oh-look-you-can-see-his-body-but-he's-really-in-a-coma or oh-my-god-he-fell-off-a-cliff-no-one-could-possibly-survive-that. No, they mean dead. Deceased. Flatlined. No more. This is an ex=Shepard. The third game will still be played in this instance, but you will not play as Shepard. However, it goes beyond that as well. Apparently, at the beginning of the game Shepard is involved in an incident. The nature of the incident is unknown, and the violence of the incident apparently depends on your actions; one outcome has you looking completely normal, no scarring or damage apparent in most of the gameplay we've seen. It also goes to the other side of the violence scale, where the aftermath of this mysterious incident leaves you looking like this. Either way, everyone thinks you're dead. Your closest companions believe you to be deceased; at least, most of them. There's a comic in which Liara, refusing to believe you dead, goes to the Terminus Systems, the black underground of the galaxy, to look for Shepard. In any case, it appears that the first words out of the mouths of many people you meet will be, "Shepard! But you're dead!" I should say that most people think you're dead. One particular group of people know that you're alive and kicking, or are perhaps even responsible for your continued breathing privileges: Cerberus. Yes, Cerberus. The former human military black-ops group. The black-ops group that went rogue and split off from the military as a whole. That performed a large number of illegal and definitely immoral experiments on aliens and humans alike, even fellow soldiers. That killed a high-level admiral, amongst others, to keep their secrets safe. The organization that you have killed a very, very, very large number of its operatives in the course of your optional investigations. The organization you at least partially exposed, in the process bringing a large number of their vital, very expensive project to a grinding, screeching halt. That Cerberus. Yeah. However, they do not greet you with a pistol to the forehead. Or by using you as target practice for their new anti-vehicle acid cannon, which wouldn't be an unreasonable response giving the amount of hurt you potentially caused them in the first game. No, they decide to give you a mission instead. Considering this is openly described as a suicide mission from which you have little to no chance of returning from, I get the impression that they aren't feeling very kindly towards you despite saving you/pulling you out of the wreckage/engineering the incident in the first place/randomly bumping into you at the Sniping Addicts Anonymous meeting. However, you really get the feeling that they're trying. So, you accept this mission. This is something of a given. Cerberus fills you in: all over the galaxy, humans are going missing. These aren't cases of random men and women walking into dark alleys that they don't walk back out of. No, entire colonies, hundreds upon thousands of human from remote locations and settling attempts across the galaxy are simply vanishing, one by one. There is no evidence for who or what is behind this. They need someone to look into these disappearances, and your deadness makes you a prime candidate. With it, you can go through channels that you would never have access to otherwise; various enemies who would otherwise get in your way are unaware of your presence, and you can move with freedom through the underworld that you must investigate. As legendary as you are, you cannot do this alone; to this end, they allow you to gather at least some of your old companions, and give you a list of some of the most powerful (and, in more than a few cases, psychotic) characters in the galaxy to aid you in your task. I'll do a separate entry on them. View with discomfort the fact that, although these people are very good, and will undoubtedly aid tremendously in your quest, they are also by and large people who the galaxy will be much, much better off without. Erk. So you are given what information Cerebus possesses (or at least what they feel like telling you) and you bundle off in your ship and go on your merry way to save the galaxy once again. This is where the factual info that BioWare has provided straight-up ends, and where my observations being. After the debacle that was Sovereign's attack on Citadel, much of the geth fleet that attacked was destroyed. Following this incident, the remaining geth seem to have returned to their preferred behavior prior to their discovery of Sovereign: lurking behind the Perseus Veil, viciously protecting their territory but otherwise not taking any actions or venturing beyond their borders. Recently, however, geth reports have been on the rise again. Suspicious, Cerebus seems to think that there is a link between them and the disappearing colonies; they appear to be evolving faster than they have before, with more and more specialized combat models appearing and the rest wielding more of the innovative and unusual weaponry that they were wielding in the previous game. Equally and perhaps more troubling is the reappearance of husks, the cyber-zombies always present in the aftermath of a geth attack on a populated area. However, husks have been appearing on planets that are heavily populated and developed, and upon which there are apparently no geth. And the geth have not been previously noted for their subtlety. In addition, you only encountered one type of husk in the first game; now, you are facing at least three new types in addition to the standard husk. Hm. On a different front, there are the activities of a mysterious synthetics corporation and the group of mercenaries known as Eclipse currently in their employ. What exactly this company does isn't known for certain, apparently they specialize in making mechs. Clarified, they appear to be making mechanical soldiers, humanoid synths who specialize in combat. Nothing unusual, right? Wrong. Apparently their mechs are more advanced than any others currently in development. Take a look at the standard troops. Yes, I know it isn't that great of an image, but still look. Nothing all the remarkable, right? Now then, take a look at this. I don't know about you, but the big guys remind me of the geth. A lot. And remember Nassana Dantius? Let me clarify: remember the asari chick who asked you to "rescue" her sister who had been "kidnapped" by mercenaries? And how it turned out that her sister was in fact leading said mercenaries and all Nassana really wanted was for someone to kill the black sheep of the family so she would stop blackmailing her more influential sister? Yeah. One of your companions is an assassin hired to kill her. You have to get to her before he does, so you can at least meet up with him. Sounds inconsequential, but on the way, she is protected by Eclipse mercenaries fighting in tandem with the smaller mechs, called Loki. This heavily implies that Nassana is part of or at least is affiliated with the shadowy company. Now for my theory. We know that the threat of the Reapers isn't over with by a long shot. We know that they are still out there; it is heavily implied that there are factions working for them, and it is very possible that Sovereign managed to do more indoctrinating that we previously thought. So, I thought, it is possible that this shadow company was indoctrinated by Sovereign into doing the Reapers' work. The geth were instructed to work with them, to go with a plan B Sovereign formulated in the laughable possibility that he should fail. So, the geth have been quietly kidnapping these human colonies around the galaxy, humans being the ones who destroyed their lord, and are delivering them to this shadow company. The shadow company has then been using these humans as test subjects, creating more and more powerful husks. Factor in the presence of Nassana Dantius, who has access to extremely high-level biotic technology and research, and you get the possibility of psychic cybernetic zombies. At the same time, they have been upgrading the geth, making them more powerful as well, and creating marketable, stealth versions of the geth, spreading them throughout the galaxy, and strengthening the synthetic army in preparation for the day of the next Reaper's appearance. Once it appears, the synthetics will rise up with their strengthened army, and cause enough chaos for this new Reaper to get to the Citadel and bring the rest through. That was my theory. I was very proud of it. Then, earlier today, BioWare released a new video, this one detailing some of the enemies you will be facing in the game. Excited, I hurried down to the official site and downloaded the video, like a good little fanboy. Now, indulge me a metaphor. Let us say that my theory is a poor, confused sap standing in the middle of a field with his head coated in red paint. And the new video is a high-powered sniper rifle. BioWare takes this rifle and points it at my theory. Boom. Headshot. My theory is destroyed. This new video tells us a lot about the story of the game. A lot. It introduces an entire new species: the Collectors, odd bug-like people who have a taste for acquiring genetically odd individuals. It also goes into more detail about the husks and the geth. Now, let me tell you what's really going on. It isn't the geth who are rounding up the humans. It's the Collectors. They land in the colonies with massive ships and release swarms of small (well, small when compared to the actual Collectors) insects. These insects have poison that can paralyze humans; once the humans are helpless, the Collectors drag them into pods and whisk them away, leaving no evidence that they were ever there. Why? No one knows yet. But the Collectors are using advanced technology that they, somehow, got from the Reapers. Someone is performing experiments on the husks. But it doesn't look like the humans now. It may be the geth. Or it may be the reapers themselves. But now I have no clue how they fit into this. And the geth themselves are changing. Some of the m have managed to evolve, so separate themselves from the mass consciousness that once allowed them to operate and become truly sentient. Why? How? What do they want? Are they with the rest of the geth, or are they against them? These separated geth apparently hold different beliefs than that of the collective; time will tell if this means that they clash. With one video, BioWare turned my theory on its head. By showing much more info than they usually do, they have served to obfuscate the battlefield and throw what was once thought to be certainties into chaos and confusion. Now I have no idea what's going on. All I can do is wait for the next news article, for the next video or batch of screenshots. In the meantime, I must come up with more theories, theories that will also likely be turned on their heads. Well played, BioWare. Well played.
