NYAK NYAK NYAK =D

It's been a while guys, heck, I'm in year 12, Uni next year... Wow.
I feel old now.

NYAK! NYAK? NYAK.

So.... There's this rumor going around...

There's a doubtless shadow of a possibility that Bionicle's coming back in 2015.

Don't take my word for it, though...

Happy 'Murca Day, everyone!  If you are not 'Murcan and do not have Democracy, then the Liberty Gundam will bring its Democracy to you.

Yeah! This is America! We'll send our Japanese Mecha to democracy the $@#% out of you!

I had to leave before it finished anyway, so it was done when I got back.

Destiny. Is. Epic. Seriously. It's probably going to be the best game I've ever played when the full version comes out. You really just can't compare the feel to any other game.

So... This isn't mech related at all. In fact, it's more a personal issue than anything else.

I'm a Furry, and I'm proud of it, but I want to make it clear that I have nothing to do with the deviant behavior that Furries are ridiculed for. In truth, only a small minority of furs participate in such behaviors, and most of us are perfectly normal, if a little weird. If you don't know what behaviors I could possibly be talking about, it's for the better; what has been seen cannot be unseen.

The fact of the matter is that All fandoms have their fair share of those people whose fetishes ruin it for everyone else; Not just the Furry Fandom. I recently stumbled upon this [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] about the issue, and I would encourage you to read it and share it.

It hit me hard. That shouldn't surprise you given what I've said so far.

I think this might have been brought up before, but even if it wasn't, I could still infer it from other posts of yours. But honestly? 0 cares given. And that's not me being mean, that's just me saying that it matters nothing to me what other people like/dislike simply because those are their own opinions and their own decisions to make. If it's any different than mine, so what? I can't see anything objectively wrong with the majority of it, so it just doesn't bother me.
And even those "other people" you're referring to don't get to me. I don't like what they do to otherwise reputable groups, but if I let half the things on the internet (or real life!) bother me half as much as they should, I'd probably be dead by now. Point is, you ain't gotta justify yourself to us. We cool.

Oh, and if anyone here decides they want to give you crap about this, I do have access to a very large metaphorical hammer with the letters "BAN" inscribed upon the head. I mean, technically you do as well, but justice administered by a third party usually receives fewer accusations of bias.

Speaking of Furries, are there any other furs here, or am I just a lone wolf surrounded by furless freaks?

Just saw the Dragon Ball Z Battle of the Gods movie. It's been 17 years since the last movie was created... Akira Toriyama's stuff is still epic.  

I just never could get into anime really... Of course, I say this as I'm in the process of watching Fullmetal Alchemist simply because everywhere I turn people won't shut up about it. Not sure what I think 5 episodes in...

Yello. Just dropping in for a final, final farewell. :p

Been a long while since I picked up the bricks, and it's going to be a very, very long while until I pick them up again. What can I say - I've got other stuff in my life now. I've been climbing a hell of a lot recently, and League has also taken it's toll. But equally, there's the kinda teenage stuff that's finally hitting me (#16inunderamonth).

Rich, I know the kinda stuff you're talking with about the crap people from "different" groups can get. As someone who's bisexual (leaning a fair bit more to gay), I know what it's like to be seen as odd in the eyes of your fellows. But hey, life's life. Being different is what makes us all so snazzy.

And finally, since you have never seen me in the flesh, and probably never will again:

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

So yeah. Bye.

Well, Farewell, Jak. And form one bisexual mechanier to another, I wish you well in all things in life.

You... will be missed.

...*screams into a pillow*

he'll be back, the joy of plastic is too strong a feeling for one to forget.

Yeah. This was just unexpected, that's all.

Aaaaaaand, I admit to being a little overdramatic. On purpose.

Aaand here I am on my yearly drive-by! Life is going good: I'm still working, going to start college at the end of this month, kinda in a relationship, etc etc etc.

Jak inspired me with his whole "Imma show mah face thing", and I figured screw it, why not.

That was taken this past winter, the time of year when my beanie is permanently fastened upon my head.

So yeah, hi and bye!

You all look so young and adorable! And now I feel so much older... Thanks.

We interrupt this selfie-fest to bring you a message from the Hype Train. CHOOT! CHOOT!

Happy Nnovvember, everyone! Anyone planning on building any Vic Vipers?

Not really... I am trying to start work on an A-10 inspired fighter though. Hopefully that'll help get me out of my rut of not working on my Armored Shells.





...But probably not.

I do not know what I will do for NoVVember this year. Last year I did a transforming Gundam, which did not receive as much attention as I would have wanted. I want to do another transforming mecha, but I am unsure if I should or not.

Who's excited about the new Bionicle reboot?

Ok, it does use the Hero Factory system, which is a minus, But as far as HF system sets go, these guys are pretty complex. And bigger than I expected. I went ahead an impulse-bought Tahu and Kopaka, and I had fun building them. A lot has changed between G1 and NuG1 in terms of story, but I find the changes reasonable, and am confident that NuBionicle will come to resemble the original more and more closely as time goes on.

There's an undeniable parallel between the Skull Spiders and the Bohrok of olde. The way I see them, they're just Krana with legs, and maybe some form of elemental energy attack. Without a doubt, they are much more dangerous than they look.

Then there's the Protectors. It's kinda disappointing that they don't have names and that they all look alike, but perhaps that's for the better. It's possible that by leaving the Protectors nameless, Lego is letting us oldschool fans have our headcanon cake and eat it too. In any case, they're certainly more badass than the original Turaga.

And, finally, The Island of Okoto. After thinking about it for a while, I find that that change is for the better; Having Mata Nui for the name of the island they live on, the benevolent demideity that rules over them, and the giant robot that the same Great Spirit once had for a body is a little confusing. Not to mention the Corporeal form that the Great Spirit took as Toa Mata Nui.

I'm simultaneously anxious to see what the future holds, and praying they don't screw it up.

Ciao~

I just realized that I completely Overlooked something very important. Ekimu.

Umm... I have yet to pass judgement on Ekimu. And I probably won't until we get to Mahri Nui aro Karda Nui.

Stay tuned!
