Barter sheeple for a grouse

TOYPEDIA IS THE BEST SITE EVER

 N.I.N.J.A. Mites



Name of Toy Line: N.I.N.J.A. Mites
Production Company: Panosh Group, Inc
Distributor: unknown
Years of Production: 1986



Countries/Regions Available: USA
Size/Scale: 1.5"
Figure Trade Markings: © '86 / PANOSH
Approximate # of Figures: 48 unique sculpts

Details:

Who could resist "Nasty Indestructible Ninjas Jumping About?" That's right, yet another 80's toy line with an incredibly cheesy creative acronym for a title name. It's especially creative when one of the words in the acronym is the acronym, haha. Yes, those nasty, indestructible, jumping ninjas are really N.I.N.J.A. Mites! Alas, it seems that Vegemite is one "mite" that no longer has the market cornered when it comes to "nasty."


Vegemite

However, my guess is that when it comes to "mite" the creators of NINJA Mites had a different kind of mite in mind: The lovable, hugable, microscopic Arachnida.


Mite

And for those already confused with all this talk of mites, this entry will be concerned with NINJA Mites!


NINJA Mite #39

Okay, let's get down to business. Honestly, we don't know too much about this minifig line. Information is hard to come by, but we really wanted to document these critters here at Toypedia as they do have a certain appeal.

All the packaging we've seen for NINJA Mites refers to them as being part of the "Sunray Set" or "Sunray Series." We've never seen a different set/series. The figures belonging to this series come in three basic colors: Black, red, and yellow. All three colors come with minor, white paint applications that are, frankly, not super high quality. The paint apps, however, glow in the dark which adds a touch of fun.

The black and red colored figures appear to be common whereas the yellow figures are apparently harder to come by. There are 48 unique sculpts in the Sunray Set. Unfortunately, we're not sure if all 48 sculpts can be found in all three colors. (If a Toypedia reader can confirm this one way or another, please let us know!)

The plastic is hard, light, and brittle. The sculpting details are mediocre, but one of the charms of this line is the plethora of sculpt shapes. No two figures look alike which is more than can be said for many other minifig lines.

Let's take a look at some pics!


Black NINJA Mites


Yellow NINJA Mites


Red NINJA Mite

NINJA Mites of the Sunray Set were available in at least two forms of packaging: 30-pack boxes and 5-pack cards. First the card:


5-Pack



And now the box.

Here's a crude closeup of the checklist on the back of the box. Perhaps it can serve as a poor man's checklist until a better one can be had.

Sculpts from The NINJA Mites line, like several other 80's toylines, were used for the expansive bootlegged toylines Exogini and Cosmix. When these figures turn up, it often creates confusion. Simply recall that true NINJA Mites are black, red, and yellow and have paint apps. Toypedia entries for Exogini and Cosmix and the NINJA Mite sculpts therein will be forthcoming.

NINJA Mites: A toyline not without it's flaws, but highly collectible. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any additional information or corrections. Until next time.

PROTON PEOPLE IN NANOUSE

The Song of the Sorcelator (TSotS)

by L H Franzibald

Following the exploits of "Sorcelator" Grimm Shado, The Song of the Sorcelator has been described as a complete and shameless rip-off of the Elemenstor Cycle. To quote a well known source close to the material, "Wherever he has not directly stolen [from]...the Elemenstor Saga, he has corrupted it beyond recognition."

Originally launched by Magic Mouse Publishing as a re-branding of the only marginally successful The Elspinster Saga, from the Ukrainian Glekt-Franzibald Publishing Ltd, this work claims to be "hipper re-imagining" of their own work, but borrows even more liberally from The Elemenstor Cycle.

Apparent greater mass market appeal not withstanding, all fans of the Elemenstor Saga are entreated to unite against this growing threat. Do not give in to the seductive nature of sorcelation! Its pleasures will be strictly transitory and no match for the richer pleasures of true Epicness.

It is worth noting that the likeness of Grimm Shado appears in the ElamenSTAR episode "Elemenstory, My Dear Wendel," where several minutes of not-so-subtle mockery take place before the episode continues.

The Song of the Sorcelator is widely regarded as a futile attempt to emulate Tycho Brahe's literary style. Chief among Franzibald's many shortcomings is his way of inserting entire sentences, paragraphs or even chapters where Brahe would settle for one or more elegant semicolons. This has inspired ELotH:TES fans to write "Franzies", subtle yet hilarious parodies where pieces from the Elemenstor Cycle are rewritten in Franzibald style. Perhaps the most famous franzy would be the collaborative "Franzymistress(es) of Arvalyyon" fan project.

Interestingly enough, the famous literary critic and poet Huzzan Jamal wrote an extended piece on the symbolic relationships that were depicted in TSotS, between Grim his pirate space hooker sidekick, and how they finely captured the zeitgeist of modern western society as a whole. The article has sparked a new debate about the literary merits of this questionably derivative work between fans of both camps.

Excerpts


The ninja shaman teetered awesomely at the edge of the rooftop; his motile lettuce foodniliar likewise teetered. "Let's take this to the limit," he sneered at Grimm. "Let's take this to the limit extreme."

Grimm considered the proposition even further, desperate now for a reason to mistrust this ninja shaman. It was said that to leave the Penthouse was deepest doom, but he had seen this stranger leap up from its gutters with no difficulty. Clearly the warning was no more than uncertain myth. His face scrunching with resistance, he accomplished at last, "To the max." -The Song of the Sorcelator, page 66 (as lifted almost word-for-word from Book 3)
"I'm a dangerous man, Brandi." uttered Grimm mysteriously and grittily (and dangerously). He could see that she felt smitten by his mysterious gritty danger - all of the buxom fox dancers in this seedy joint did. She fluttered her copious eyelashes and reclined into his gruff arms. Gruffly, he muttered, "This is badical, girl." -The Song of the Sorcelator, page 72 (an almost clearcut copy of Felthar and Serafina's dialogue in the bear dancing club in Book 6)
A voice was heard to say, "Who dares disturb the Crypt Of The Immortal Space Bitches?"

"I am Grimm Shado," said Grimm Shado, his triple wand claws extending. "And I am here to take it to the limit." -The Song of the Sorcelator, page 179 (if this is based on an actual excerpt, it has been corrupted beyond recognition)
Steadying himself atop the speeding Lamborghini, the sorcelator drew his twin wands - Hurt and Burn. He was going to make damn sure the Pirate Assassins and their Metal Friends rued this day, and rued it hard. -The Song of the Sorcelator, page 192 (as lifted almost word-for-word from Book 9 (see: Trans-Am))
"You'll never take it to the limit!" said The Indominatrix over the roar of the speedboat engine. Grimm looked up across the bow to the approaching crest of Niagara Falls. He thought for a moment about how badass it was going to be to send an exploding speedboat over the falls with a domnatrix assassin onboard. "Then I guess I'll have to settle with sending you to hell," he replied, as he pulled the ripcord of his parasail-deployer/bomb-detonator. -The Song of the Sorcelator, page 234 (so obvious an example of plagiarism, it's an insult to every ELotH:tES fan's intelligence to point it out)

Wiki

Please place blithering song fancruft here: http://tsots.pbwiki.com instead of filling this Epic wiki with the ravings of an inept hack.

Discussion


Reverand Timothy Sweeny I am utterly appalled at the level of bias on this site. I mean, I was lead to believe that this wiki was for discussing Epic Legends of the Hierarchs, but it seems you fan boys just use this as an excuse to whine because your precious little elitist borgious fantasy can’t compare to one of the best literary works of our decade. Yes that’s right, Song of the Sorcelator is flat out better Elemonstor and everyone who isn’t clouded by bias knows it. Franzibald’s art deals with contemporary issues relevant to the modern world in ways Brahe’s uninspired Tolkein ripoff couldn’t even begin to match. It saddens me that the fantasy genre is so tied to it’s roots that when a truly breakaway product comes along, nobody, gives it the appreciation it deserves, indeed having the nerve to criticise it as a ripoff for simply superficial similarities that ob scure the vast creative gulf between hacks like this ‘Tycho’ and best selling authors like Franzibald. For instance, the much touted ‘hurt and burn’ extract on page 192 of Song of the Sorcelator (196 on my limited copper-plate xtreme collectors edition, obtained at great expense by me at Franzicon after patiently stalking the Master for three days till he threw it at my head). Now a biased Elemonstor-nut immediately clings to the flimsy parallels between the main characters poise and the Master’s use of the word ‘rued’ (I mean come on people! Rued is a perfectly common English word and its testament to you is horrific bias that you can’t comprehend two writers might ever find the same word in the dictionary). Now an unbiased, objective mind immediately sees that Tyco’s grade school (no I take that back, I wouldn’t wish that hacks verbose, archaic excuse for prose on anyone under the age of 70) drivel is nothing more than appeal to the most tiresome of fantasy clichés, evidently itself derived from Sweeny’s dated but serviceable horror ‘Shadow over Bumfluff’ injected with ridiculously outlandish made-up words of the type that pervade all forms of mediocre fantasy. The Master on the other hand, produces what can objectively be described as a much more creative work, inventing not only the concept of individuaain of rotting TV dinners and mail-order NRA magazines accumulate, bespeaking of his bigoted psychopathic mind. Having objectively proven that Tycho is a radical-right wing sexist paedophile with racial-supremecist tendencies it quite frankly baffles me why Brahe continues to have a cult following. Am I the only unbiased objective person in the world who understands?!!!

Jute Mill As loathe as I am to say it, I'm fairly well-acquainted with this work. Comparing it with ELOTH:TES and Elspinster... hmm. As the Elspinster Saga was to ELOTH:TES, so is The Song of the Sorcelator to ELOTH:TES, were ELOTH:TES hit by a car driven by over-the-top action anime, violated by a hobo, then pieced back together with fragments of a John Woo movie by an insane super-scientist with a penchant for creating crass literary knock-offs. Basically, they went back and attempted to out-Epic ELOTH:TES. Of course, out-Epic-ing ELOTH:TES, which is, by definition, the practical limit of Epic, results only in hilarious juvenile meandering and actual, unironic utterance of the word "bullet time" to describe heroic action. Although, you gotta admit--two wands, hella-awesome.
Montykins I think the existence of The Song of the Sorcelator helps explain why people sometimes seem to have very different recollections of ELotH:TES -- it could be that people have read both, and are mixing up their memories of the actual, original Hierarchs saga with the shoddy knockoff.

Finn34 Two wands makes no sense to me. If you're just as powerful with one, how is two wands going to help you? I mean, it LOOKS badass. But, c'mon.
Nate-yo Two wands are rather pimp, but Finn34 has a point, what's the deal wit'dat? It's like giving a zombie a trench-coat, he's cool because he wants your brains, not because he wants to be stylish while wanting them...
xxx_SorcelationWizKid_xxx Although he is equally powerful with one wand as opposed to two, with two wands he can channel his powers into the arenas of "hurt" and "burn." This sorcelation avoids the disadvantage of only having one power, namely the power of painful burning. If the sorcelator so chooses, he may now inflict hurt without leaving visible burn marks, or may burn without causing pain. This adds a great deal of power, as he can now make people so horribly mishapen from burn wounds that it causes mental anguish, but physical anguish is missing, at least until the peasants hang him for being such a wretch. You Elemenstor fans can't even touch that kind of power can you, bitch?
TychoCelchuuu GET OFF MY INTERNET YOU SORCELATOR BITCHES

Ok! Fun is fun! But it appears that one of you guys from this wiki sabotaged the TSotS wiki... stating quite clearly on the front page "TSOTS IS A HOAX!"!!! I'm all for a little friendly rivalry between franchises, but when it starts resorting to vandalism (which is exactly what I would expect from you play-it-safe Brahe fanboys) I have you call you on it!! I don't know who it was... I just know that it wasn't jake because of the handle of the person who posted... whoever it was... this will be your only warning! -Shado X-treme
Who could do such an evil scheme? Certainly, no one here. We are dedicated buch of fans, who will resort to violence only when its absolutely necessary (or really, really funny). Our only desire is a calm discussion. even with you, Sorcelator bitches. - Jake.

Hurt'n'Burn You dipshits have no idea! SORCELATOR 4EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
Finn34 Die, Sorcelator bitch. Your series is not EPIC enough for us.
Terathis The truest way I can illustrate the differences here is through a simple word association. L.H. Franzibald is to Tycho Brahe is as fetid undead manure is to sweet sweet Krispy Kreme donuts. Also, Grimm Shado's soliloquys are about as coherent as the mindless babble that proceeds forth from the mouths of the mentally unstable residents of your nearest insane asylum after their afternoon cocktail of Prozac, Xanax, and Zoloft.

DMJ Actually I derive a sort of guilty pleasure from reading this. Its like McMeatys food - you know its wrong, but you have to go back for another Double McMeaty with a Meatshake.

Zeta Book 1 and 2 were alright, but as the series progressed I began to notice that the girls Grim Shadow was sleeping with were gettting younger and younger. This was especially noticable in Chapter 23 of Book 3 which involved a Kindergarden class showing ther "gratitude" to Grim - I won't go any further, I had to burn the book afterwards.

TIM The release of their fourth book is going to be Nov 4th! That's the same release date as the tenth anniverary edition of Book 1!

Pewter People in A Mouse

Rock & Sole
If you made a reputation for yourself in the old days, you used to get a sandwich named after you. Now you get a shoe. On May 14, Christ-worshipping independent-rock eccentrics the Danielson Famile (or Tri-Danielson, as they are also known) appeared at the opening of the new John Fluevog shoe store at 250 Mulberry Street, both to christen it with a song and to celebrate the release of their namesake footwear, the Familevog, a clunky white leather loafer adorned with a red heart that clearly was designed to complement the doctor's scrubs and nurse's uniforms favored by the band members. According to a company employee, the shoe is made of "100-percent natural" and "biodegradable" materials.
The Danielsons reciprocated this honor by performing a new song dedicated to the Familevog that will be given away with the purchase of a pair. The tune was titled … well, what was it called, anyway? The shoe company's founder, John Fluevog, identified the song as "'Flim Flam Fluevog Flam,' I think? Something like that."
Actually it's "Flip Flop Flim Flam," and with lyrics such as "Fancy free juice flop flim flam / A Fluevog toe jam," Danielson leader Daniel Smith characterized it as a song about "the spirituality of feet."
Mr. Danielson told The Transom that he initiated the idea of a Danielson show with Mr. Fluevog. "I build houses. I first thought of this exchange while working on a roof," he said. "I was having troubling thoughts. I was thinking, 'Why am I doing this? Shouldn't I be writing songs?' I was daydreaming and thought of Fluevog," Mr. Danielson continued. "I had a strong feeling John's shoes were coming from a creative Christ." Perhaps this was evidenced by the proverb "Sole blessings on all who enter" scrolled over the portal to the store's back room.
But later, Mr. Danielson admitted that he may also have been motivated by less spiritual impulses. "Of course," he said, "I was also hoping all along that he would make some shoes for me."

COPY AND PASTE THIS TUTORIAL SO NO ONE FUCKS IT UP FOR THE REST OF US:
1. Go to one of these list sites:
http://projectxero.blogspot.com/
http://chancoop.blogspot.com/
http://cammco.blogspot.com/

2. Go to your blogger dashboard.
3. Near the bottom, there's a panel called "Reading list." K1ick add.
4. Enter the blog urls from the list above (this is much faster than "following" each one.)
5. Go back to the list and open each blog (Protip: If you click you mouse wheel, each opens in a new tab)
6. On the first one, be sure to click your own little profile square to add an "image" and "link" (makes it easier for everyone).
7. K1ick an ad and close the page. The more blogs you click the more clicks you get in return.
8. Do it again tomorrow, or every other day..
9. Add your blog to the comments section of the lists above.
10. Update you own blog every once in a while, nothing that'll send up a red flag to Google (Ad$ence will b& if your click/views ratio is too high, so run your auto-refre$her. This will mean less money, but it's safer.)

Remember, only link to one site with your ads on it. You want unique k1icx, not duplicates. On the first day, I got 20 honest k1icx, or ~$10. You can boost this number up with SEO (google it). Basically, you pick a nice keyword and spam it all over your blog (Put it in the url, title, posts, tags, meta, image titles, alt-text to the images, and content. If necessary, steal content from other blogs). Generate Ad$ense code targeted to this keyword. Ad$ense pays out every $10.

Also, the best blogs to follow are the ones with few followers.

Also, you should place your ad code 3x on your site to have the best ratio.

IMPORTANT: Keep your list of blogs on your site and update it from the comments. Keep it short. It's possible to get 500 followers, but you can't click that many at day. As long as you are loyal to your list, they will be loyal to you.

Party People in DA House

Yo YO yoyo House Party ya'll.  Check this out.

Update #2: B1oH4z has shared a PSGroove AVR-USB-162 hex code that was compiled with a setting of 8mhz and using it Jasmin05 has confirmed the Olimex AT90USB162 works 100% now!

Update: martenbroadclk has now shared pre-compiled hex codes ready to burn followed shortly by hex codes for all boards, including both the original PSGroove release and CJPC's dev_bdvd patched version and Ps3Rips (actually Xantra, it appears now) has http://www.eurasia.nu/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2604 the ATmega164PA PS JailBreak Schematics And PCB Layout.

Recently we reported that the PS JailBreak PS3 modchip was successfully cloned, and today the PSGroove PS3 exploit arrives!

PSGroove is an open-source reimplementation of the PSJailBreak exploit for AT90USB and related microcontrollers.

The PSGroove for now allows the very same features as the PSJailBreak but without backup manager support, you can also now remove the dongle.

The original PSJailbreak dongle had a patch that would trigger the lv1 panic hypercall if the dongle wasn't in the list of connected devices.

CJPC has also detailed HERE how to patch it to allow for the proper mountpoint dev_bdvd to be mounted enabling the playback of backup games and posted a patched version below for those lazy.

Download: http://github.com/psgroove/psgroove / PSGroove PS JailBreak PS3 Exploit [Mirror] / PSGroove PS JailBreak PS3 Exploit (Patched) / PSGroove PS JailBreak PS3 Exploit Hex Codes (AT90USBKEY boards) / PSGroove PS JailBreak PS3 Exploit Hex Codes (All Boards) / PS JailBreak Schematics And PCB Layout

It should work on:

- AT90USB162
- AT90USB646
- AT90USB647
- AT90USB1286
- AT90USB1287
- ATMEGA32U4
- ... and maybe more.









Cloning

The repository uses the LUFA library as a submodule. To clone, use something like:

git clone git://github.com/psgroove/psgroove.git
cd psgroove
git submodule init
git submodule update

Configuring

Chip and board selection can usually be handled in the Makefile. In particular, update the MCU, BOARD, and F_CPU lines. Suggested values:

Teensy 1.0:
MCU = at90usb162
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000

Teensy++ 1.0:
MCU = at90usb646
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000

Teensy 2.0:
MCU = atmega32u4
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000

Teensy++ 2.0:
MCU = at90usb1286
BOARD = TEENSY
F_CLOCK = 16000000

AT90USBKEY / AT90USBKEY2:
MCU = at90usb1287
BOARD = USBKEY
F_CLOCK = 8000000

Board-specific notes

Teensy boards only have one LED, so it will turn off when the exploit succeeds rather than turn green. Older Teensy 1.0 boards also have the polarity inverted. In general, a LED should do something when the board is powered, and do something different when the exploit works.

Building

On Linux, use the AVR GCC toolchain (Debian/Ubuntu package: gcc-avr). On Windows, WinAVR should do the trick.

make clean

Programming

Now program psgroove.hex into your board and you're ready to go. For the AT90USBKEY and other chips with a DFU bootloader preinstalled, you can get the dfu-programmer tool, put your board in programming mode, and run

make dfu

For the Teensy boards, you probably have to use the Teensy Loader software.

Using

To use this exploit:

- Hard power cycle your PS3 (using the switch in back, or unplug it)
- Plug the dongle into your PS3.
- Press the PS3 power button, followed quickly by the eject button.

After a few seconds, the first LED on your dongle should light up. After about 5 seconds, the second LED will light up (or the LED will just go off, if you only have one). This means the exploit worked! You can see the new "Install Package Files" menu option in the game menu.

Notes

A programmed dongle won't enumerate properly on a PC, so don't worry about that.

This software is not intended to enable piracy, and such features have been disabled. This software is intended to allow the execution of unsigned third-party apps and games on the PS3.
