So, we have decided to rebrand who we are as a podcast and shift to a far more serious world of discussion. Bionicles is near and dear to our hearts for us 5. So say so long to the times of our rant about Nagash and Sigmar, and hello to the Holy Mask of creation. Bionicles is our life now, and we shall make it yours. Hope you are ready for a wild ride through the cosmos because I can tell you that my ten-year-old self was not.

College Football is back as a surprise hit of the summer... and it appears to have awakened something in Rob. He's traveling the Midwest recruiting for Notre Dame, concealing from all those kids that their head coach doesn't know what a "hot route" is much less how to call one. Janet's got a head full of soccer as she explains EA FC 24 and how it's trying to be all things to all players. The gang discuss the ominous letter a laid-off DEI team lead sent to colleagues at Microsoft before Janet shares tales of being charmed by Flock, and Rob builds his own new F1 team in F1 Manager 24. Finally, a reader shares all the dark secrets of the Bionicles.Discussed: College Football 25 4:24, FC 25 56:11, Microsoft Lays of portion of DEI Team 1:48:01, Flock 2:00:51, F1 Manager 24 2:10:25, Hauntii 2:31:35, The Question Bucket 2:35:17See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bionicle: Mask of Light (2003) (feat. John Gossett) Back in the early 2000s, Bionicles caused controversy with their cultural appropriation. Now, they're wreaking havoc on Hannah's sanity. This week, we're lava-surfing into the 2003, direct-to-video movie “Bionicle: Mask of Light.” Cullen soapboxes about the strange, dense lore of the Bionicles toys and media franchise, Hannah desperately clings to reality at the mention of any character's name, and our guest John is just here to enjoy the crab ride around the island of Mata Nui.

May Eywa be with you! This week on the Podcast, we ring in the Holidays with a special new sequel for James Cameron's momentous followup to his 2022 success "The Way of Water." This episode is a special blast from the past because it's the second episode we ever recorded (done in January 2022). Will our new sequel keep the story centered around the water tribe? How will we handle the growing moral complexity of Spider? Will the film create a more challenging character arc for Jake Sully? How do Bionicles tie into all this? How did we end up including Jonah Hill's therapist? Did Bob Iger get a poop out before our pitch? Does Tuk survive? All that and more on this week's episode of Podcast 2: The Sequel.Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pod2thesequelFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pod2_thesequel/Theme song by Charle Wallace: https://charlewallace.bandcamp.com/Support our Feature film, Inter-State, currently in Post-Production: https://fiscal.thegotham.org/project.cfm/4383/INTER-STATE/
Ytterligare en vecka i etern! Halvdålig stämning i studion eftersom Malte har fått en bundsförvant i sitt kvinnohat när det pratas filmen Bratz (2007). Men känn ej sympati för Olivia, för hon tar men “hennes pojkar” på ett förtalståg. Både döva och Latinas ligger i riskzonen. Men till hennes försvar så ville hon bara belysa problematiken som detta mästerverk innefattar. Det nya segmentet “Asså man ba va?” premieras och främst när det börjar tala om den gamla goda dramaturgiska kruvan, som är heeelt wackadoodle i denna film. Utöver vanligt kvinnohat hatar även Edvin på Bratz-tjejernas låt i talangjakten och kräver att Meredith får upprättelse. Sedan börjar det falla en grabb-skugga över studion när en live-action film av Bionicles diskuteras. Och om Yasmin har ett mariachiband i köket runt frukosttid? Ja visst har hon det.

In the final years of the 1990's, the world was introduced to two seemingly similar Japanese franchises - Pokemon and Digimon.From the outside they seemed very similar - both featuring young protagonists using monsters for battle, but their origins and implementation were incredibly different! 25 years on from its humble digivice toy origin, Digimon has proved its staying power, with its anime franchises on air almost as much as Pokemon! We're diving into the origins of these Digital Mosnters, along with some really unusual factoids in this episode - plus all the latest anime news, bad life advice and for some reason - Bionicles?VIDEOS!Kawaii-Fi YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/KawaiiFiTifa's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thetkennedySUPPORT USPatreon: Patreon.com/KawaiiFiBuy us a Coffee: Ko-fi.com/kawaiifiJOIN THE KAWAII-FI COMMUNITYTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kawaiifianimeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kawaiifianime/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KawaiiFiAnime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/kawaiifianimeDiscord: https://discord.gg/p9ccFx8vTQLISTEN ELSEWHERE?Smart Link: https://link.chtbl.com/KawaiiFiSpotify: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiSpotifyApple: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiAppleGoogle: https://bit.ly/Kawaii-FiGoogleEPISODE SEGMENTS00:00:00 – Show Opener00:02:47 – What We're Watching00:27:15 – Back Catalogue: Digimon01:17:59 – Anime Communique01:30:57 – Show OutroTags:anime,podcast,anime news,anime podcast,anime reviews,anime recommendation,Digimon,Digimon Adventure,Agumon,Pokemon,Bionicles, Dragon's Dogma,Kamikatsu,Skip and Loafer,

Hey there, fellow human listeners! Get ready for an exciting episode of our podcast where three close friends, Ben, Stephen, and Bryan, sit down for an engaging conversation that is definitely not generated by any AI.In this episode, the trio discusses some fascinating topics that are close to their hearts. First up, they dive deep into the world of Bionicles, reminiscing about their favorite characters and storylines from this classic toy franchise. But don't worry, this isn't just a dry recitation of facts - these guys have some seriously passionate opinions about Bionicles that will have you laughing and nodding along.Next, the conversation turns to religion, and you won't want to miss the insights and perspectives these three bring to the table. They tackle some tough questions about faith and spirituality, and while they don't always agree, their discussion is always respectful and thought-provoking.But that's not all - the episode wouldn't be complete without some lighthearted moments, and that's where Professor Oak impressions come in. You read that right - Ben, Stephen, and Bryan all take turns doing their best impressions of the iconic Pokemon professor, and trust us when we say it's hilarious.So there you have it, folks - an episode that covers everything from childhood nostalgia to deep philosophical questions to silly voices. And just to reiterate, this description was definitely not written by any AI - we're all just good old-fashioned humans having a good time. Tune in now to join the conversation!Edited by Bryan.

A conversation with Shiloh Cyan (formerly known as David). We discuss topics in the realm of nerd culture, modern mythology, memory and memory loss, reboot culture, and several other things. Specifically (and in order), we talk about: the artist-formerly-known-as-David's new name, Shiloh's past five years, animation and indie games, Star Wars, Bionicles and multimedia storytelling, how storytelling can become less genuine with each retelling, memory and how each time you recall a memory you're really recalling your last recollection of that memory, Shiloh's memory issues, amnesia in video games like Final Fantasy 7 and Knights of the Old Republic, false memories, the memory bubble we live in and the ship of Theseus, destiny, free will, and compatibilism, consciousness and Shilo's “unshakable” belief in souls, the contradictory way in which we are our own worst critics but are often blind to our flaws, dead-naming, modern myths and how myths are made, why dragons appear in mythology so much and why we're so good at distinguishing colors, how language affects our thinking, animal intelligence, reboot culture, Final Fantasy 7, and Star Wars, the dumpster fire that is Game of Thrones season 8, comparing things to the original, character-driven stories and realistic plot lines, Azor Ahai (Game of Thrones), the progression of human morality, and Howl's Moving Castle and Justice League.

#013: Kids: Rotating Toys ##Topics 1. How rotating toys keeps down toy clutter2. Keeps toys feeling new3. Helps evaluate if toys are still even wanted ## Keeping down clutterKids tend to dump toys, and sometimes too many toys can be so overwhelming. They won't even know where to start. Kids should be responsible for cleaning their own toys, not the parents doing it for them. Fewer toys keeps it manageable. Extra toys can be stored in large plastic bins and organized in those bins. Those bins are close and easy for Amy to access, but not the kids. Mitchells originally kept extra toys in the crawl space, but it was a hassle to rotate. Eventually they built a new closet at one end of the toy room, which provides a great storage space for extra rotated-out toys as well as games and puzzles. Mitchells don't rotate toys on a strict schedule, rather just when there's a need. When cousins are coming to stay for the holidays, they pull out the toys the cousins like such as balls, trucks and super heroes. If they are starting to babysit really little kids who like toddler toys, they rotate those out. But some things always stay out like books and dress ups. Although last week Yellow child even went through some of the dress ups and noticed there were some things no one wore much anymore, so she rotated those out. The kids help rotate too, so they can pick what they are in the mood to play with at that time. In the summer, the toys don't get rotated as often because they aren't getting played with as much. Kids are all outside riding bikes, playing ball more than inside. In the winter time, toys get rotated about every two months. One sign that it's time to rotate toys, is when the kids have left a mess on the floor of the toyroom, and then not played with anything for awhile. Then it's time to put all those away and get out new ones from the bins. ##Evaluating toys to keepEvery spring the Mitchells declutter their house and hold a yard sale. Sometimes they'll realize certain toys never were chosen to be rotated back into play. Those are good options to get rid of. As the boys have gotten older, they are more willing to let toys go. The younger girls are still playing with many of the girl toys, so those are kept. Mitchells usually check with the kids to make sure they are done playing with certain toys before getting rid of them. ##Rotated toys feel new Many people use this system. They all like it because it's nice to keep clutter down as well as keeping toys feeling like new again when they are brought back out. Then you don't feel like you have to keep buying new toys for your kids all year long. ##Having a successful systemIn order to keep this successful, find a place where you can keep those extra toys away from kids. If they are easily accessible for kids who can pull out toys whenever they want, then you'll find yourself having more toys out than you need. Amy doesn't mind if kids do want one or two toys out of the buckets and back into play. She just asks the kids to ask her first, so she can keep track of how much is out and make sure it doesn't get too overwhelming to clean up for kids. Dave suggests putting toys that aren't being played with any more into one bucket, so it's easy to see what you want to get rid of. When developing a system, keep it simple. You want something kids can do. Some like one big bucket. That's easy. Some families like keeping sets together, because kids play with toys better in sets. Whatever system you choose, keep it simple. When cleaning up in a set system, you could have one kid go around and pick up all the cars and trucks and put them in a little bin. You could have another kid go around and pick up all the dishes and food and put them in a separate bin. That keeps them organized and it helps keep it simple when a kid is looking for just one type of toy to gather up. Mitchells label drawers with pictures when kids couldn't read, like Polly Pockets or Bionicles, so even little kids could put toys away in the right place.

Beginners. Black, red, green, light blue, silver, orange, swords, lazers, helmets, shields, flying machines, underwater vehicles. The list could go on. What do these words refer to? Bionicles. They are a type of lego. You can buy them in boxes to put together and admire. The idea is based on an advanced civilization in which are found good and bad creatures. There are a couple of films about them, and, of course books. There is even an encyclopedia of the bionicles and bionicle terms. It is really quite fascinating. I have a son who is crazy about them. He started building legos when he was very young, and has worked his way up to these guys. When he gets a lego set, he will build it immediately. But, then he takes it all to pieces and builds something different. I think he is very creative. Sometimes he will put all of his bionicle figures together in a row, his brothers will do the same, and they will have a huge battle. Who knows who will win? They all have super powers, special protection, extra senses and cool weapons. It is fantasy at its most powerful. Grammar notes. Related vocabulary: lazers, helmets, shields, vehicles, creatures, encyclopedia, fascinating, pieces, a row, battle, powers. Verbs: to take to pieces. Exs: He took the train set to pieces. He was devastated; the critics had taken his work of art to pieces. (fig.) Advanced. "Ouch!" I yelped the other night as I was climbing the stairs. I had stepped on a hard piece of who-knows-what that was tough enough to not break underfoot. It was a familiar experience, and one that had been generated by my kids. It was the same kind of object that suddenly makes its presence known by clattering up the vacuum when I am trying to clean the carpet. Legos. Everybody loves them. My children are crazy about them, to the point of obsession. I suppose it's a healthy hobby, so I can't complain. There is a particular type of lego that is my oldest boy's prefered. Bionicles. This set of advanced, technologically savvy, mechanical beings, is what lights his candle and keeps him up at night. They are pretty impressive, I must admit. The two films are very inspiring: great special effects, a very bad baddy, and goodies who are flawed enough to be approachable. I tried to build Bionicles with my son once, just to be a good, involved mother, but after a few minutes he told me that he'd rather do it himself. It's obviously not my domaine or expertise. My job is to admire them, and, of course, remove them from my kitchen countertop, my lamps, and even the Christmas tree, after my son has waged his battles against the bad guys, but forgotten to put them back in his bedroom. Advanced. Verbs: to yelp (reg.), to generate (reg.), to clatter (reg.), to admit (reg. but double the t: admit, admitted, admitted). Related vocabulary: to climb the stairs/ to go up stairs, who-knows-what, underfoot, special effects, approachable, domaine, expertise, countertop.
