November is nearly over and the holiday season is upon us - sounds like the perfect time for a new episode of the BZPowercast! Things kick of this month when Nuju Metru becomes the next victim of our Staff Interview series. Q&A Guru Windrider then returns for a How-To BZP about one of BZPower's newest features. Our final segment again features Windrider as well as Hahli Husky as they let everyone know about the Ninjago Short Story Contest! Now if you'll excuse us, it's time for Christmas shopping! Enjoy!
The BZPowercast is back in 2012. This year we kick things off with the return of How-To BZP with Than the Moa and Windrider. Then we have a lengthy discussion on the future of BZPower with Than, Wind, Takuma Nuva, Eeko, and Gatanui. And of course McSmeag has a new song for you all. Thanks and enjoy the show!
Come celebrate the end of the year with the BZPowercast! In Episode 30 we start off by interviewing Windrider, one of our newly-promoted Forum Leaders. Then Takuma Nuva, Nuju Metru, and I take a look back at 2011 and all the BZPower and LEGO goings-on from the past solar revolution. After that, I talk to Nuju Metru about the new Tolkien license and what sets we'd like to see and what LEGO will actually make. McSmeag closes things out with a new recording. See you all next year!
This month marks the two year anniversary of the Powercast and the ten year anniversary of BZPower. Those are quite the milestones! Unfortunately, the forums are still offline, and we start the show up with an update about where we are on that process. Then McSmeag, Hahli Husky, Than the Moa, DeeVee, and Takuma Nuva join me to talk about BZPower's tenth aniversary. We cover a lot of ground, and I'm not sure we make any kind of point, but that's okay. After that, I talk about the upcoming BrickFair with Nuju Metru and Friar Tuck. McSmeag closes things out with a new song. Thank you everyone for ten amazing years!
Spring is here again! Not sure what that has to do with the Powercast, but I figured I should point it out. This month we start things off by interviewing three of the newest staff members - HAZMAT, Takuma Nuva, and Nuhrii the Metruan. Than the Moa then returns for a few How-To BZPs talking about the NMQ&A forum and more. I announce some big changes in store for BZPower along with Makaru and Comrade Gato. Finally, the Taped Headphones serenade you with their latest recording. I hope you enjoy it, and I'll see you all next month!
February always goes by so fast, between Toy Fair and those few less days, it's here and gone before you know it. But that's no excuse for no Powercast! We start this month's episode out with a discussion of the big event with McSmeag, where we give you the details on the new sets and let you know what really caught our eye. Then McSmeag and Makaru tell you all about BBC Contest #61. Following that (and it wasn't easy to do), Kaiapu, Deevee, and I talk about all the things we remember about BZPower from back in the day, before it was even BZPower. Things get wrapped up with another music time with Smeag. Enjoy the big two-oh show!
It's time for our first podcast of 2011 and I think this may be one of our best yet! We kick off the the new year with a discussion of the rebooted BZPRPG with Friar Tuck and Emzee. Than the Moa then returns for How-To BZP where we cover three things you shouldn't do on BZPower. After that we have a surprise interview that I hope you all enjoy - I had a great time sitting down with our esteemed guest. Things get wrapped up with an Andrew and Andrew recording straight from the vaults (maybe it should have stayed there). Hope you're all enjoying 2011 - next month we'll get to discuss Toy Fair!
Well I...guess you cold call this...a TTV episode. In this week, the folks talk about the weather outside (it's frightenin'), Eljay threatens to kill everyone with a ball-point marker, and we still can't seem to stop talking about them new-fangled 2011 HeroFactory sets. Var continues to amaze with Around BZP in 80 Seconds, and Eljay failtasticly sends us into nostalgia land with BioTalk (which also, ironicly, fails). We also actually get some mail this time from Toa Utah and Lord of Ice, and Eljay continues talking (yes, he's still going) by going to the Comics section, looking at the BZP Comic Makers advent calendar, made by Lavaside Rahi. Looks like we've got sections...all over the place. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAA- Hosts in this episode: Meso, Var, Eljay, Tom, Sumiki, Miraka
New sets are always a conversation piece with the TTV crew, and the new 2011 HF sets are no exception! On this episode, both Irish MOCist Brickeens and former iBZP host GlatorianJaller join us in our ranting, raving, and goofing around. Eljay and Kahi review the childhood-ruining comics of Protoss General, and Tom and Brickeens boringly talk about some MOCs from Aretha and Toa Balta #3. Hosts in this podcast: Var, Meso, Eljay, Tom, Kahi; Guests: Brickeens, GlatorianJaller.
HEY, DO YOU WANT AN AMAZING TTV EPISODE? TRY EPISODE 14, AN EPISODE FOR PEOPLE THAT NEED GRATUITOUS AMOUNTS OF FUNNY. WITH SECTIONS LIKE 80 SECONDS AROUND BZP, WHERE VAR SAYS SOME AMAZING PRE-RECORDED STUFF. YOU WANT RANTING? HOW ABOUT WHAT THE HECK WITH THE DUDE OF DUDES? TALKING ABOUT RUSSIAN PEOPLE AND HERO FACTORY. SOUND THE ALARM, YOU'RE GOING TO BE UNCOMFTORABLY RANTED AT. COMICS! RAAH! ELJAY WILL TALK ABOUT THEM. HE'LL TALK ABOUT THEM SO MUCH BECAUSE HE'S REVIEWING THE COMICS OF RANGAN MERCENUS. THIS EPISODE WILL BE SO EPIC YOU'LL BE LIKE 'whaaaaaaaaat is thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis' BUT WE'LL BE LIKE 'LOLWUT' AND KICK YOU IN THE FACE WITH OUR RANTING LEGS. TOM ALSO REVIEWS SOME MOCS BY ARCHMASTER AND XINLO: SPIRIT OF SONICS. snaaaaaaake eeeeeeeeyes HOSTS IN THIS EPISODE: VAR, MESO, TOM, VAR, MIR, SUMIKI, VAR, KAHI, VAR RAAH COMICS! RAAH
In this episode, the crew talks about Lego Octopus and the thin line of constructive criticism. Meso tries a new section but fails, and Eljay reviews comic maker Oneka and his pretty freakin' great comics. Also Tom reviews MOCs from Junkmaster and the legendary Bfahome (and gets a comedic interruption from Var whilst doing so). Hosts in this episode: Mesonak, Eljay, Tom, Sumiki, Miraka, and Alena (and maybe Var).
Both Meso AND Var decided to skip out on this one, so Eljay, Tom, Sumiki, Alena, and Miraka decide to have all the fun for themselves! In this funtastic 42 minutes of an episode, the peoples talk about minifigs, custom molds, and things they can't do; Eljay looks at the legendary comics of member lavaside rahi, and Tom looks at some fantastically put-together MOCs from members =Zion= and Fsnorglepuff (respectively). Also they make fun of Meso and Var not being there, so =D
This time, Var takes a hike but Miraka steps in for a change! And some stuff about Halloween that no one cares about.
The BZPowercast is mixing things up again this time around, covering a more varied selection of topics than last month. We start off with another LEGO convention - xccj and Emperor Whenua talk to me about BrickCon 2010. After that, Than the Moa is back for another How-To BZP about a new rule on BZPower. Smeag and Hahli Husky then return to talk about stereotypes in Bionicle, especially the recent chapter of Yesterday Quest, and share their thoughts on that subject. Finally Music Time is back, but it's more than just Smeag! Enjoy the performance by the Taped Headphones (McSmeag and Hahli Husky). Come back next month!
BZPower went to BrickFair, and now we get to talk about it on the Powercast! The weekend was amazing, so amazing that we didn't have room for anything else in this episode of the show. Smeagol4 (McSmeag), Hahli Husky, Janus, Darth Vader (DeeVee), and Nukaya Cloud Fire all share their memories and thoughts on BrickFair 2010. Special appearances are made by Vezok's Friend and Dudebot5000. And of course there's a Music Time with Smeag (featuring Hahli Husky). I hope to see even more of you at BrickFair next year!
In our first ever episode, we talk about the first comic, our opinions on the sets, as well as the upcoming Hero Factory Game. And we realize when two of us are sleepy, and the other one is hungry, things go horribly right.
The Powercast celebrates its first anniversary! BZPower celebrates its ninth anniversary! It's a nonstop party! A whole bunch of people join me to talk about the past year and what it's meant for BZPower, the Powercast, Bionicle, Hero Factory, and who knows what else. Then Than stays around to talk about blogs on our How-To BZP. After that, Smeag comes back and is joined by Emzee to talk more about Hero Factory and its story. We wrap things up with a limited engagement performance of Music Time with Smeag and Black Six. Thanks for listening - hope you enjoyed it!
The first episode of the second series of the BZPowercast. Black Six talks to SPIRIT about the storyline and upcoming movie, Than: Matoran of Anger about strong passwords, and Smeagol4 about how BZPower has changed and why we love it.
