InnerRayg Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Wow, i MIGHT just have to buy bionicle this year, even if it IS just one set (I'll make it takkie if it is just 1. gonna be HARD Balancing town and bionicle.)And if i do get more and i don't like the pods, they'll make GREAT Meteors. (PS: Can someone fill me in on the story from MN's demise to now? So, MN dies, everyone's like "OH CRAP." Matoro and the Toa are chasinz after the Mask of Life, which is now being drained towards the Universe Core through the hole Voya-Nui made when it came shootinz up originally. Matoro's goin faster then everyone else, so the other Toa turn around and face the Barrakiz who am followin them. Matoro falls down the hole. This is a -long- fall. Voya-Nui goes back to where it's supposed to right over his head, and now he falls into the actual Universe Core.He sees a Makuta, doesn't see the ground. Some voice says "Dude, put on mask" He goes "duh", puts it on, becomes energy, deus ex machina's MN's megablocks back to life by sacrificing his own, and the Mask of Life falls into the Universe Core AKA Karda Nui (our 2008 environment.) With his last act Matoro uses more Deus Ex Machina to transport the other Toa Mahri to Metru-Nui and make them breathe air, right before they're about to go nova and sacrifice themselves to fight Barraki. So in the meantime, the Toa Nuva learn a lot of stuff, go to Artakha to get new armor, and are transported to the Universe Core to remove the Makuta who are there now and maybe finally wake up Mata-Nui. And that's what happened. Quote
zero1312 Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 THIS. IS... A LINK!Haha! My area is stock-full of all the new sets. No Icarax though... Isn't that a bit off-topic? :-/ Not complaining though. ;-) Quote

And that's what happened. I'm trying to figure out why you used all that "coolz" language. Was it because you just don't like the story, or because you were making a reference to the previous poster's rushed grammar? Or was it because of some other reason that I didn't suggest? *wacko* Quote
InnerRayg Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 It's because I'm just hilarious Grevious, that's all. Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I was under the impression he was poking fun at the official storyline using "lulztext". Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 "Dude, put on the mask." "Duh." lol, classic. :-D WHEN ARE THE TOA PICS GONNA COME OUT -ZotS Quote
Harfo Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 When someone with Toa pics decides they're in the sharing kind of mood ;-) . Probably by the end of February we'll have them. Quote
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 The new biocast, Dark Mirror, is up! Quote
Tyranide Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 The new biocast, Dark Mirror, is up! Yeah. So, Takanuva is really now both Shadow and Light energy wielder. Funny, but that means that that 'strange' white and black set is real :) I love 1984! :D Quote
Chuck Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Let me just say, I got Mutran and Vican on January 2: I love it. For some reason, special edition sets always seem to appeal to me more. Its not the "Special" part, its the fact that they are other characters other than core storyline characters *wub* -Chuck Quote

ehlek mountain dew master Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 these guys are awsome :'-) :'-) :'-) :'-) :'-) :'-) :-D :-D :-D :-D yippee 1st post Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Hmmm, Dark Mirror was intresting. I like how Takanuva is a half shadow, half light character. The alternate world is vicious... -ZotS Quote
Clonie Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Greg said that having one's light partially drained would result in conflict between one's light and dark side, kinda like the Hordika. Should be interesting. This biocast is better than I thought it would be. Doesn't really explain his titan-ness though... Quote
Lord Admiral Helden Ravensdorn Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Dark Mirror gets a firm *n* Its not that I'm opposed to alternate universes; its not that I'm opposed to presenting Kapura running in an alternate 'verse... Its not that I have a problem with Tahu and Kopaka being psychotic sociopaths... ... Its just that the quality of the writing itself was poorer then Gregs norm, IMHO. I think he coulda done better. it reads more like a mockery of a classic alternate-universe story than the grim, dark alternate universe story its supposed to be. - Ravensomething Quote
Zarkan Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Win.Of course, this was after Robo-Makuta fought against Fish-Karzahni and Karzahni got completely OWNED. Oh, and then Fish-Man-Karzahni got caught in a giant metal fish next, but not before he went totally pscyco and - WAIT A MINUTE. I like the storyline, so why am I doing this again? *wacko* :-P Eh, all in good fun. Quote
Jetrax99 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) these guys are awsome :'-) :'-) :'-) :'-) :'-) :'-) :-D :-D :-D :-D yippee 1st post Allow me to be the first to say Welcome to Eurobricks. I must say that Dark Mirror was awsome 1 BIG *y* So he did acquire shadow abilities, just not in the way I expected. In your face clonie >:-) Edited January 16, 2008 by Jetrax99 Quote

However, since he's written what is basically a paragraph in this story so far, I dunno that it's fair to judge yet. I do wish it had been written though, the podcasts are always woefully short.
