Archangel

A strike fighter usually best adapted to air combat, but also with capabilities for space combat. Its predecessors include the Aerosyke fighter, along with the Aero Strike Fighter. But this new fighter bring a new image to the Bungie Co. and their line of fighters, modularity.



I've redone this fighter a few times, but I finally started from scratch and this has turned out as my favorite starfighter yet, which is funny since I said that the first time I built this about a year ago.

My Name is Steve Jobs

Guys, I almost think getting an iPod for Christmas was a bad thing. Because its freaking awesome. Its probably the main way I "connect" nowadays. Except right now. Right now I'm multi-tasking by typing an English paper and this blog post. Which I have had ready to got for quite some time, but now I've finally felt talkative enough to talk about it I suppose.

Anyway today's post it on the iPod app gallery as I've decided to call it. You know that store where you spend most of your Paypal money on since you don't really need more LEGO or anything else so you spend it on that and vending machine food. Anyway I really like iPod games, even have a favorite designer, but I've noticed that I develop a sort of weekly pattern and I feel like I should share my weekly games with you guys. Probably on Twitter from here on out, but right now I thought I'd make up for everything else by reviewing some of the games on the blog.


Super Turbo Action Pig - App Store

The first game is Super Turbo Action Pig, yeah, whoo, yeah you heard right. Maybe you haven't heard of the game, but I love it. It's a simple setup, but the graphics on it are fantastic. I think some people overlook the graphics and say that the $1.99 price isn't worth the simplicity of the game, but I feel the graphics are worth it. That's just me though, I pay more attention to graphics then the game.


Angry Birds - App Store

Don't think this one needs any explaining. I'd like to point out I beat it though. :D It's a fun game, but I'm not really sure why. Still love it though. I have always been wondering just how many times its been downloaded and if the profit from the game has made the designer rich. Probably made Apple more money. Poo.


Trenches - App Store

I like historical stuff and this is a fun take and history. I love the stylized figures and the game play is really fun too. I also like that you can play with or against other plays all over the world... or locally. They also made a sequel called Stenches. One of the designers for this game also worked on Super Turbo Action Pig.


Fruit Ninja - App Store

I'm a fucking ninja because of this game... A FUCKING NINJA! The game play is awesome and I like playing against other plays in the online mode.

Also tried updating the blog. New address too. Unfortunately the logo isn't working and the logo feature in blogger isn't working. Not sure if I cause that or not. oops.

Finally Photography

I know I promised to share some of my photography stuff a while ago on the blog, but I've been busy lately. What can I say. Anyway here is finally is. Maybe not so much content as I originally intended, but I've really lost motivation for this post. Rest assured it is still mildly interesting. Especially since it has new stuff never seen before unless you check out my other flickr yeah.

So for those of you that don't know I got a new camera for Christmas. A Nikon Coolpix L110 and aside from the flamboyant name I actually really luv this camera. It has great quality and works for regular photography and even macro photography like with teh laygoez. (Which reminds me, I need to go photograph two new MOCs, and I forgot to share this on the blog so check it out!) Anyway I really love the quality it has and I haven't really used it lately, I did use it a month ago and I'm sure I can add some commentary to these following photos. Also as it starts to get warmer I'm sure I'll feel more motivated to use it.


One of the earliest shots with the camera. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out especially since it was so late when I took it. Its not really streetlights but more like car headlights. Aw well.



These next two are from Cleveland State University. I was there for swimming in January and yesterday. Anyway I like how these shots turned out with a bit of cleaning up, but there were a few white balance problems. Being the person I am, I am willing to look past it and say it was creative ingenuity that led me to mess with the white balance.


Now this has to be my favorite shot taken with this camera ever. Everything turned out really nicely and I'm actually considering entering this in a photography contest at school. We'll see I guess. And yes there is another shot.

So that about wraps up photography until I actually decide to take more pictures I guess. Now that I'm looking at the blog it definitely needs an overhaul, but that's okay cause I soon as I find the time I'm going to update the blog and website to give them a new theme for the summer. (No, not a summer theme just a new theme for the next 6 months or until I decide to change it)

Okay Let's Talk Graphics

I guess my talk about my photography endeavor will have to wait a little longer. I just did a lot of graphic design work today and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I feel like I need to share it before I can talk more about photography.


I'm going to go in order from my most favorite to my least. Above is my most favorite. Its a possible new logo for the website (Version 5). I'm going to experiment with at least 10 other versions before I finally settle, but I really like the professionalism of this one. We'll see how the others turn out though.


I really like how simple this is. It gives it a straight-forward nice style. I think it looks pretty professional like the other design too. Mostly testing with opacity too. Inspired by SpoonGraphics.


I spent the most time on this one and I like how it looks, just meh. I do have a new Redbubble version available.

Zack Builds Ninjago Again

A dojo deep within the mountains. In this dojo NinjaGo practice their Spinjitzu in peace and harmony... or can they?

Assembling all of these Ninja ideas into one creation. Loads of fun to build and I'm really happy with the final outcome. Originally I was hoping to have it done for CCCVIII, but time didn't permit. I do like the LEGO playset style it has though.

BrickShelf-Twitter

More legitimate updates coming soon. Including more on my recent photography endeavor.

Inspector Police Cruiser

Well I haven't really done much lately. I just haven't had the time to photograph this, and then when I got the photographs taken I didn't have the time to upload it. This was actually built a week or so ago. Really happy with how it turned out.

A small two-seater police cruiser for Inspectors of the Space Police force.

The idea was to somehow include this part and I feel I used it successfully while creating a well-rounded vehicle.

Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a good New Year. By that I mean running rampant through the streets dead drunk while kissing every girl in sight. Yeah that...

Anyway (please ignore that text at the top) I have a final wrap-up closing type thing to the New Year. It is every creation that didn't make it for 2010. Coincidentally there are exactly 24 of them. It would have fit perfectly with Nolnet's failvent calender.


Well that is everything that didn't make it. I think it needs a little extended description, but there isn't really a notes section on blogger the way there is on Flickr so you'll just have to make to with the image. You'll notice a few even got photographed and edited before becoming fails slowly sitting on my desktop. Some were good and fell apart on the way to being photographed so that all that remains are WIP pictures because of the lack of motivation I had to rebuild them. Sad stuff.

For everything that did make it to Flickr in 2010 I have.

Happy New Year and all that.
