9:57 "Perhaps you are to be a hero like the Toa." 10:41 "It watches the island as it sleeps" Rewatching this LP is really helping me notice some very good foreshadowing bits. It's amazing how far back the creators were leaving hints.
To be fair I don't think that first line was meant to foreshadow Takua becoming the Seventh Toa - that wasn't actually decided until later IIRC, and so that line was likely just in reference to the end of this game when Takua leads the Company to defend Kini Nui.
0:37 spying on her boyfriend. 2:53 the concert hall also houses the suva (mask shrine) but I didn't know about the dance. 2:30 No no. You should react talking to the noodle in the water with pool noodle. 5:00 The music is so good. 6:50 Ironically, the beast would have a harder time punching in the water. (e.g. water resistance) 8:17 Warm blood. Maybe warm oil? 14:25 I love how arrogant you made Nixie. 17:00 It's cool that you know everyone's names.
Nixie was a fun character in this LP. We'll have to keep this intact if/when we do MNOG II. And thanks, most of the names were remembered from my childhood. A few might be wrong here and there, but I try my best.
What's hilarious is that both Huki (Hewki) and Maku have cameos in the Mask of Light Movie as opposing Kohlii players. So sometime after stalking Huki, Maki joined the Ga-Koro Kohlii team (and won no less).
@@GhabulousGhoti True, but at least the players said "LEGO" without saying it at the beginning of the match. LEGO is a combination of two words ("leg godt" if I spelled that correctly) which means "Play Well" in English lol
I'm aware that Greg said that, although I'm not sure that was the set designer's intent. Why would his swords be colored like that around the blades? :P
I wouldn't be shocked if that's where the name came from, since a number of the names are routed in real-world languages and mythologies. For whatever it's worth, it's spelled "Nixie" here, but that could just be an alternate spelling of "Nixy".
While it can be interpreted to refer to Mask of Light, I personally always took this to refer more to the climax of this game, where you are able to pull off heroic deeds much like the Toa without actually being a Toa.
@@GhabulousGhoti Honestly, everywhere. I first played it maybe a month after I discovered that Bionicle had a story so I would stop every 10 minutes to read the wiki. So most of those hours were spent reading about the lore.
Nixie be giving us shit. :P
She thinks she's better than us.
We'll show her!

@@GhabulousGhoti Yeah, well have to keep this up for MNOG II
This is such a nostalgia bomb. I'm glad we have an expert (read: big nerd) to fill all the gaps I didn't understand as a child
Lol, no problem. I was mostly going off of decade old memories at this point, so I may not be 100% accurate with all my lore knowledge :P
@@GhabulousGhoti Accurate enough to someone who never knew there was such lore for what he thought as just cool birthday gifts when he was young
God I loved this game. It reminded me SO much of MYST
I've never played Myst but I know this game took inspiration from it.
@@GhabulousGhoti OMG you HAVE to do a video on MYST. Talk about atmosphere!
Perhaps one day. It's something that's on my radar.
@@GhabulousGhoti Oh. It's a real good game. I personally reccomend the RealMyst version as that's a fully 3D world. I have the DS version myself.
@@y2k890 I'll definitely have to play it if the opportunity arises.
I love all of your art style of Bionicle human style!!! They’re beautiful and amazing!
TT v TT
Thanks! I'll let Katie know you said that!
Always thought Kopaka’s X-Ray vision mask was dope...I had his figure back in the days. The Nuva form.
I love all the original mask designs, and even the Nuva ones, which is pretty unpopular. My favorite would probably be Vakama/Maku's.
Your voice for Nokama makes me want to call her granny. (After all, she is the only elderly lady on the island.)
She's kinda like a grandma to everyone in the villiage, isn't she? XD Next thing you know she's gonna be baking cookies.
@@Catatouille101 Or "Sea-Salt" taffy. =P
What's hilarious is that both Huki (Hewki) and Maku have cameos in the Mask of Light Movie as opposing Kohlii players. So sometime after stalking Huki, Maki joined the Ga-Koro Kohlii team (and won no less).
Yeah, and Huki even had a single line IIRC. Shame Maku never got a speaking part, but I guess she wasn't too important to the Mask of Light story.
@@GhabulousGhoti True, but at least the players said "LEGO" without saying it at the beginning of the match. LEGO is a combination of two words ("leg godt" if I spelled that correctly) which means "Play Well" in English lol
Yeah, I always thought that was a cute easter egg.
That red on Pridak's face wasn't blood, in you were wondering. It's his natural skin coloration.
I'm aware that Greg said that, although I'm not sure that was the set designer's intent. Why would his swords be colored like that around the blades? :P
YO YO PIRAKA
One day, but not today.
Looking back at this, I'm surprised that the Matorans didn't revolt against the Turaga after they revealed the truth.
Well, Jaller DID get pretty pissy with the Turaga after he found out they still weren't sharing everything :P
A Nixy is a kind of mermaid. It's also the name of a character in Mako Mermaids: A H2O Adventure, which I might get around to reviewing one day.
I wouldn't be shocked if that's where the name came from, since a number of the names are routed in real-world languages and mythologies. For whatever it's worth, it's spelled "Nixie" here, but that could just be an alternate spelling of "Nixy".
9:48 No one gonna bring up this foreshadowing?
While it can be interpreted to refer to Mask of Light, I personally always took this to refer more to the climax of this game, where you are able to pull off heroic deeds much like the Toa without actually being a Toa.
I love this channel!
Thanks, glad you enjoy!
The set you showed at 4:48? I actually have that in my room.
Same, though I've got pretty much all the sets from 2001 to 2007 :P
Please tell me yous guys are gonna play Quest for Mata Nui when it's released
That is very likely, yes.
Huh, this game is surprisingly short.. my first time was like 20 hours, didn't know what I was doing
I'm not really sure how you'd be lost for 20 hours. Where were you stuck at?
@@GhabulousGhoti Honestly, everywhere. I first played it maybe a month after I discovered that Bionicle had a story so I would stop every 10 minutes to read the wiki. So most of those hours were spent reading about the lore.
Ah, that makes sense.
Dont talk shit about cryoshell, they play the music of Mata Nui himself. But no one cares about the All American Rejects. 🙃
I don't recall talking shit about Cryoshell, I quite love them.
so the bionicles are females?
Some are, some aren't. Our character in this game is male, but Maku is female.
