Thank you for showcasing my Bionicle Skyrim mod! I put a lot of efforts to it for several years. You did not show it, but all masks have working abilities. We also made version of this mod for Skyrim Special Edition. And there is separate mod which turns Dwemer Centurions into Bohroks or Vahki.

[@LIscariot]

Hey! Glad you enjoyed my XCOM 2 mod! It was the first time I ever rigged models and was an important starting point for my path to becoming a 3d modeler. For anyone who is interested in using it, the mod is intended to be used with the "Invisible Heads" mod, and also features some melee weapons. Pairing with the "Primary Secondaries", "Dual Wield Melee", and "Tactical Shields" mod is also recommended to get the ideal canon loadouts.

[@Kralich]

Thanks so much for talking about the Bionicle Heroes scene (and some of my mods in it)! We’ve worked hard to make the game a platform for Bionicle community mods and we’ll keep it up going forwards for sure! We’ve got some big things on the horizon ;)

[@DISTORTEDMACHINE]

12:49 Heyo, glad you dig my L4D2 Onua mod! He's my favorite Bionicle from as a kid to even now. Louis has like no good skins so I decided to just make him Onua for the hell of it. 👍 As for why there's no others - it's very time-consuming to create decent survivor mods and Onua was the only one I'm interested in.

Kopaka being a sharpshooter in XCOM feels very lore accurate

[@Dargonhuman]

The Kanohi Akaku really gives him a serious edge in that regard.

[@claytopolis]

my favorite bionicle set was Keetongu. Mainly because he was essentially a gorilla who reached toxin nirvana. He was a wise and noble creature but also freakishly strong and canonically killed a main villain in a single hit.

As a massive fan of Bionicle back in the day, this brings me immense joy to see. Edit: I am almost 29 years old as of writing this. I was OBSESSED with Bionicle as a kid, and still like seeing content about it now and then. I got into Bionicle before the Toa of Light was revealed. Thus I must ask, how in the world have I never heard of Voriki?

[@kira-dk2mx]

I still have the Bionicle guidebooks from 2002 onwards. And the chapter books. Stuff like this really hammers in how long ago it was.

[@bellbro62]

Voriki is fake. If I remember correctly he's a meme from the earliest days of Bionicle when they speculated that the 7th Toa would be the Toa of Energy, not the Toa of Light. Not gonna lie, when Oboe said "Voriki" I was like "who?" and had to go look him up. As soon as I saw "Toa of Energy" the whole urban legend came rushing back into my head from 20 some years ago. Wild times.

[@Shiestey]

I’m honestly impressed how much you know about Bionicle. I don’t think I’ve ever understood lore as much as this, unless you count old school RuneScape lol

As a kid who hyperfixated on Bionicle during his childhood, and still does to this day, I can tell you Oboe is knocking it outta the park with this one.
