Hearing oboeshoes effortlessly say all of these Bionicle names in rapid succession has the exact same feeling as listening to one of my kid nephews breathlessly telling me about the toys he's into.
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.
Thank you for showcasing my Doom mod. I spent a lot of time and effort on that thing but it is not well known in the Doom or Bionicle community. Perhaps I will continue working on it.
Author of the XCOM mod, I was genuinely blown away at the amount of work that must have gone into yours! Creating custom projectiles, animation rigs, and good looking FPP animations must have been no small feat!
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.
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 ;)
No gonna lie, when you said "Bionicle Heroes has a modding scene somehow" I was almost expecting the punchline to be an extra thicc Roodaka or a chonki Hali... I've seen how some of the community has developed over the years...
@@SilverBullet096 nd that in turn made me recall opening Preston Stormer of G1 Hero Factory, being dissatisfied, and writing a letter to Lego of this dissatisfaction, and getting a sharkman minifigure keyring with their response mail.
could never forget those weird toys but i have never encountered reference to or acknowledgment of Galidor in my entire life. parents just kinda gave em to me, siblings weren't interested, didn't know there was a tv show. for the past like 18 years of my life, Galidor only existed in my childhood closet
@@SilverBullet096 I always thought they looked so cool. Then I put them together and felt they were in an awkward position between Bionicles and basic action figures and found them hard to play with. The Flash game on the Lego website was awesome, though.
Subspecies might(maybe?) be the right term. Tohunga and Matoran are just different words for the same thing, and Toa and Bohrok are just mutated Matoran.
@@heyheyitsjae2475 Not all Toa are mutated Matoran (for example the Toa Mata were created as Toa as well as Helryx, the very first Toa to exist) and Bohrok aren't any mutated Matoran, they only form out of the remains of Av-Matoran. The lore can get very specific in this regard.
This video feels like when you go to your cousins house and they’re really into a series you’ve never heard of. So they use all the lingo and while you’re completely out of your depth you’re just like “well at least they’re having fun”
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.
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?
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.
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
Got halfway through the video and tried to find my old bionicle heroes cartridge and couldn't, immediately went on ebay and snagged a copy, thank you for reminding me of how BANGER the music was
I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside Frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain) I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains down in Africa (gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
I was never allowed to play with Bionicle as a 90's child, which means I have absolutely no idea if any of what Oboe is saying it true, but he is so smooth with his references I don't doubt any of them.
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. Actually really cool to see a big TH-camr give one of my favorite franchises of all time so much love, considering how little attention it gets otherwise.
@@RoyalKnightVIII something to do with Mata Nui being a Jesus allegory but also Bionicle spirits being housed in their masks or... something? Same reasoning for not being allowed to watch Harry Potter or play Pokémon.
@@DadsBud11 huh I suspected as much. I remember pokemon putting fundamentalists in a tizzy but not bionicle. Sucks that they chose to view bionicle as satanic or whatever
0:44 He's just a little guy 5:09 Dammit, Oboe reading me like a book 7:47 ... Not sure if I want that 12:40 My favorite bit of lore to drop on unexpecting listeners I don't know how far it ever got, but there was a mod that tried to add Kanoka and Kanohi into Minecraft a while back.
Love that Oboe has slowly been mentioning bonkle more and more in recent vids, and then he pulls out the Galador 😂 By this time next year he’ll be a full time Lego TH-camr.
Dude you just majorly helped me remember what this show was called even though this was a joke, for years I would remember it but could never figure out what it was, then when I saw the toys and the instructions manual it was like the fog had lifted and I could remember it all so clearly, thank you for this wonderful joke. 8:40
Hey I can't believe you showcased my med2 total war bionicles mod ! Thanks for the support and stay tuned for the piraka update that should come out in july 2023 !
i would like to shed some light onto an upcoming game made 100% by fans and lego themselves even gave them the go ahead and make what you want cause that's what they're about. Bionicle the masks of power. its gonna be a free game and its listing is up on steam now. the devs even released the entire asset package of every single lego piece they've created for the game for free for anyone who wants to make something too.
your pronunciation of tohunga made me give the biggest eye roll ever lmao, and this video made me realised how cursed the 'official' pronunications are
Lmao. I've done both a gag review of the GWP Bionicle set AND a gag review where a Lego set had the pieces from a different set in the past. Hats off to a like mind. 👍
9:08 for the longest time, I thought I dreamed those shitty toys and they never existed. I am so glad I am not insane. That said, what the fuck were they?
I got like 2 bionicles as a kid. I was getting too old, but the white one looked so cool! If they came out like 5 years earlier I would have been obsessed!
Wow. I can't believe he said all the masks in one take.
Knowing oboe I can absolutely believe it
Yeah have you ever been in one of his streams they're like half bionicle lore dude
he wasnt even looking at the screen he just knows those by heart
Actually, it was 4th take.
🤓UM ACKSHUALLY He didn't pronounce them properly. They're mostly Maori words, which are pronounced very differently to how he said them

With Ai it could be a real line
I love how genuinly excited Oboe gets with the bionicle stuff
Makes me super excited too, bionicle's meant so much to me as a kid!
Never got into the franchise, but its nice to see someone so excited.
The part where he played with the dead body like it was a toy slayed me

You're doing the lord's work.

That's very racist and robotphobic my dude
It's actually really easy once you submerge yourself in the lore...ak... THE ICE BOHRAK!

Kopaka being a sharpshooter in XCOM feels very lore accurate
The Kanohi Akaku really gives him a serious edge in that regard.
this is like listening to someone switch from English to another language effortlessly. it's glorious
This is incredible. Bionicle truly does make everything better.
Bionicle is like bacon, it makes everything better and affects your brain's pleasure centers the same way cocaine does.
We need more bionicle content!
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.
Keetongu SMASH!
Keetongu is so powerful they named an entire color after him in fear of the smash

Shit, even as someone who is eyeballs deep in the lore, this is entertainingly confusing.
The world is a robot, and everyone hates everyone else.
I nearly choked to death with that Galador jebait

I was just about to comment this 😭
I got one for Christmas. Was unimpressed
I facepalmed at the reveal then aggressively rubbed the bridge of my nose the entire rest of the bit just to keep the headache at bay.
My favorite April fools video. No japes, just based bionicles ❤
It's always a pleasure getting Bionicle-related videos here
I've seen an interesting Bionicle mod for Resident Evil 8. It uses a Roodaka model for the big lady. x)
This better not awaken anything in me. XD

I hope this video expands the bionicle modding scene and we get an mcc mod changing the entire noble team to the toa in halo reach
Make them the toa mahri, and your custom character is the one who replaces Matoro.

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I havent smiled since they discontinued bionicle. Thank you oboeshoesgames for bringing a smile back to my face.

I remember downloading scuffed minecraft texture packs as a kid, like bionicles and star wars ones, but I bet there are also mods for it as well.
Can confirm there was a BIONICLE mod at some point. I don't know if it's still being developed though.
Bionicle Heroes was such a good, albeit simple, game. Fit the formula for the other Lego games too, but for whatever reason it never took off.

No you didn't...
(but the answer is: "Yes, using the Kanohi Ignika to restart the heart of Mata Nui and save the entire Universe from dying...")
The fact that Bionicle heroes has a moding scene is crazy and not what I thought my life needed

I gotta install this mod now. Also, hearing you say all the first generation Kanohi names makes me want to whip out my Bionicle encyclopedia.
Who the fuck had the time to make this and why is it so good
Only real ones remember the old thumbnail and title
Why do the animations in skyrim look more natural with bionicles than they do with the characters they were made for?
Im guessing cause the animations fit more for a robot (i know they arent robots truly) kinda character than humans.
@@mhmtakeyatime9000 i think you're right. The engine showing its age with robotic animations lol

10:36 There's an "invisible face" mod that makes the head/neck invisible
Yup I mention it in the mod description :P

I honestly don't know a lick of any Bionicle lore but hearing your rants of love is something else
I'm going to consume all Bionicle media ever made just so I can understand the jokes in this video
watching this video yesterday made me dream about bionicle making a return to store shelves
Thank you for showing all of the mods I made for all of the games I made!
Once again it dawns on me that he could be making up every single thing about bionicle lore and i would believe him.
Huge coincidence that Oboeshoes is making a skyrim video right when I started playing skyrim
