Good evening my friends, Today I would like to share my Tribute for Bioware's Mass Effect series with you! Please have a listen and tell me what you think of it. The idea for this tune came to my mind whilst spending hours cracking planets in Mass Effect 2. All the best, Jake

Welcome to the site. Uh... No comprendo el Ductcho?

I don't understand what that means in relation to what I said, nor do I wish to use Google Translate for everything you say.

Dino Attack.Exo-Force. Alpha Team. Vikings. Orient Expedition. Island Xtreme Stunts. Atlantis. Drome Racers. LEGO Universe.

>LEGOs Anyway, I think you might want to clarify just what part of the 90s you're talking about, as the general consensus from the LEGO community is that things were going great until the late 90s when the sets became very juniorized. I do love the style they had going in the late 80s/early 90s though, it was clean, refined, and stylistic.

Cafeteria! 1.0 BETA 7 Cafeteria is a Game Launcher and Mod Loader for LEGO Rock Raiders. It allows you to play LEGO Rock Raiders mods without manual installation and also allows you to configure the various parameters of LEGO Rock Raiders/LEGO Rock Raiders Community Edition. Installation - First, download the latest version of Cafeteria at the bottom of this post. - Extract Cafeteria and all its files into the installation directory of LEGO Rock Raiders. This is usually: C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders - Your installation is finished. Whenever you want to play, start Cafeteria and launch the game through it instead. Requirements Most new computers already have these installed, however if you are missing one, you may get errors in the program. - .NET Framework 4.5 (Download) Installing Mods Mods come in files with the extension *.wadp. You can find mods in topics on this forum. To install a mod, simply place the WADP file inside the "Mods" directory or use the "Add Patch" button. You can confirm a mod has been installed and is valid by visiting the "Mod Manager" tab in Cafeteria where it will display. Ordering Mods Using the arrows on the interface you can move mods up and down. Mods at the end of the list are considered "low priority" and mods up the top are considered "high priority". Mods are installed in order from Low to High Priority. As some mods overlap others or must be applied after other mods, you can order them in the correct installation order. FAQ I heard this allows playing LRR in high resolutions? You did hear correctly. Old versions of Cafeteria did allow this, however this has since changed. Playing LRR in high resolution has now been moved to the Rock Raiders Community Edition project where it will be built into the game. How do I make my own Patches? Please see this topic: Patch Documentation for Cafeteria Changelog 1.0 BETA 7 Added "Addons" to Online Mod library for installing things like D3DRM. Fixed case sensitivity on CFG:Open Added Context Menu Items "Remove Patch" and "Open in File Explorer" Added "Create New Patch" under Tools. This will create a new patch with file structure under "Mods" and added it to the Mod list. 1.0 BETA 6 CFG:AddBlock will not duplicate an existing block.

Thumper Prerequisites: Tool Store\Teleport Pad\Power Station Cost: 8 Ore, 1 Crystal Foundation Area: 1 tile (though the piping overlaps the adjacent square, it can be driven through) Effective Range: 2 squares away Description: The Thumper is a perimeter defense structure, much like the Electric Fence but fulfilling a different role. As Slimy Slugs are generally immune to the fence or crawl right under it, the Thumper creates strong shockwaves which scare slugs who get too close. The sound of the compressor running also annoys slugs, so it acts much like a large version of the Sonic Blaster. However, one must take care that building Thumpers next to walls may cause landslides, and they are completely ineffective against Rock Monsters. Yes, the pneumatics actually work, and it makes a decent plastic thump. I want to see a lot of entries this time, so this is why I'm posting mine now instead of near the end. I don't care about winning, I'm just trying to motivate all of you. EDIT: Lowered effective range. Three is too much as you could have one Thumper defending a large tunnel which throws it out of balance. Two is better because you still have four squares of separation between multiple Thumpers but you also can't stick it in the middle of a cluster of buildings and expect it to defend all of them.

It may be nostalgia or a complete new look of LEGO to you, but I speak for most when I say LEGO literally had its heyday in the (early and mid) 1990s. The Pirates theme saw its breakthrough in the LEGO world, LEGO Space became more diverse (Ice Planet 2002, Spyrius, Exploriens, Space Police II and more) and prices for those sets back in the '90s were cheaper compared to nowadays (but we had a different economic market back then). Thanks to my dad we still preserved many LEGO catalogs from the '70s and '90s (he wasn't active with LEGO in the '80s ), and I've scanned one of those catalogs to show you the awesomeness of what is known as '90s LEGO. If you are a '90s kid and loved LEGO back then, you will certainly remember some of the sets that are shown in this catalog. But '90s LEGO is also loved by non '90s kids, don't worry. The LEGO sets back then certainly have this nice look and design. Without any further ado, here are all the scanned pages from a European LEGO System 1993 catalog (too bad I can't put two pages next to each other). Do you have any of the sets shown in this catalog?

Sorry it took so long to notice this post. I've already got a crude system in place. Right now it only checks for proper RGB values and broken file paths. When I work on it more it should check more things.

Oh whoops, I should add that... I thought I had. Once you extract both WAD files, drag all the files and folders contained in the LegoRR0 folder into the Data folders. Afterwards do the same for the files and folders in the LegoRR1 folder and click 'yes' to any overwrites needed. Then delete those LegoRR0/1 folders and the WAD files(Make sure you have backed these up first). Test that the game runs, if it does, you've setup the data method. Now you can change any files in the Data folder. The file called 'LEGO.CFG' is one of the main files you'll be editing a lot.

LEGO Technic #8261 Rally Truck Review by RobExplorien Yes, LEGO Technic! To me the theme has become the fifth major theme in LEGO (next to Town, Space, Castle and Pirates), and still perpetuated as of 2013. I just love how you can build sophisticated and moveable designs with the Technic bricks, and the Technic line has become widely known among many builders. Building also becomes more challenging with these bricks, and that's how I like it. On to the set in this review, the #8261 Rally Truck. The set was released in 2009, and was sold at a retail price of $24,99 (according to Brickipedia). With its flaming red and trusted old dark gray parts, the Rally Truck has it all. Flexible wheels and easy steering, and no stickers present! A defiant-looking vehicle (if I'm using a correct term), that's what I thought when I saw the set in store back then, and my pocket money was already pointing to this set. Also the '2 in 1' feature of these Technic sets makes it worth buying. It is aged 8-14, which is strange. I see most Technic sets going up to 16 or something towards that age, and 'd expect the LEGO Group should've learnt his lesson by now. The Rally Truck has a tilting front suspension system and another suspension system for the back wheels. This makes the Rally Truck support rough terrain as well. The background seems pretty empty, and this box could've used some kind of rocky terrain on its background. The other model that can be build with this set is a red truck. This model only has horizontally turning wheels, but this feature is known to many LEGO Technic sets. This alternate model is not too special, but a nice addition to this set though. Now for the contents of the box: 198 bricks (including spare bricks) 2 instructions (one for the Rally Truck, the other for the Red Truck) You may have read in my earlier reviews that LEGO makes the instructions very easy for (probably) young builders, the instructions being very well-explained. It works a little different with the Technic sets. Not only are you working with a different building method, sometimes I had to look carefully at the instructions to see where to place a certain brick. Now the building becomes interesting, you're actually puzzling to find the spot. Aside from those 'seeking for the right place' moments, the rest of the instructions are a relaxing build, as I would say. (upper instructions: Red Truck; lower instructions: Rally Truck) After a 40 minute build, and enjoying the building, you get this awesome looking vehicle. It kind of looks like a monster truck to me. I used the spare parts to show the tilting front suspension system in action. The gear on top is used for steering. Normal LEGO bricks are used in the build as well for the bumper. I really like the white bricks used for the car hood. The oversized wheels fit very well with this red off-road rally muscle truck. Some additional images of the Rally Truck: The alternate model is the Red Truck, as I mentioned before. Again, the bumper is made out of regular LEGO bricks, and the spare parts after this build are shown next to the vehicle (too bad the spring suspension isn't used for this model). The steering system at the Rally Truck is the same for this Red Truck, only the gear to steer is placed behind the drivers cabin, instead of on top. More of the Red Truck: Having this set examined and tested, I'd come to the following conclusion: Box design is well done for the contents of this set, but the background lacks significance with the Rally Truck itself. The instructions are a bit challenging sometimes, but not too much. It still is a relaxing build. Two models in one! Both vehicles have fine design and detail, the Rally Truck more than the Red Truck. The feature of steering and (spring) suspension make this set really cool. Thus concludes this review, and more Technic sets are about to come (soon or late), just like all other (complete) sets I have. Rating Design: 8 Quality: 8 Fun: 7 Price: 7

Pinned because this topic is good and shouldn't be buried under rubble.

What isn't good any more? It's not always fantastic, but that doesn't mean it's always terrible. I'm sorry... LEGO Universe ruined it? A game that was trying harder than anything LEGO had done in years to cover as much of LEGO's past and present material as it could... ruined LEGO? What? On top of that, the furry theme is called Chima. This is a Chimera. I fail to see how it ruined everything either. It's basically just another big story theme after the success of Ninjago, which was pretty ridiculous too. I don't see how it killed LEGO with all the other themes out there not affected by it.

I already covered this above, but... The Humongous games are actually made to play off the disc rather than be installed. Thankfully there's a different way for those -- copy the game files to your hard drive, delete the EXE, and rename the W32 to an EXE. That should work. There are other games where this trick will work though; SimCity 2000 for Windows is one of them.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH DERP First 3 floats for the rotation are an XYZ vector for "forward" Second 3 floats are an XYZ vector for "up"
