Oh you silly, silly, people. When will you ever learn how to use a real translator? Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Seriously though, I ran the entire comic through Bad Translator on various settings, and that was the result. I have absolutely no idea how it came up with some of these things.

"It is full of sadness."

You people need education. Basically, these are a parody of the constant gameplay montages people upload to YouTube, claiming to be "MLG" (Major League Gaming, in other words "Professional). The creators of said montages usually displayed foul behaviour, telling people to "get on their level". These videos were created to mock the creators of the original montage. Basically, they use the over-the-top camera tricks, colour filters, text, constant camera cuts, zoom in and outs etc, that original montage makers use, but of course, these guys go WAY over the top, and then use 1337-5p34k and whatnot in the description to parody the behaviour of the montage creators. These things are always hilarious. Especially considering they usually use slower-pace games like Farm/Train/Fork-Lift Simulator and even Internet Explorer.

Huh, that's interesting. Because according to my ever-accurate translation of German, this is actually a pivotal plot point of the comic, wherein the presence of an anomaly leaves Sparks with no choice but to let Tim drive the Granite Grinder. But while the Rock Raiders struggle to figure out the source of this anomaly while dodging an angry Rock Monster, can they hope to cure Docs of his Testosterone Poisoning?

Translation of the comic is still on-topic. While Google Translate isn't perfect, it gets it right some of the time. Additionally, different cultures have different tolerances of words. So a word you might think is bad, might not be viewed that way somewhere else. Due to the way language works, you can't get 1:1 word translation. PeaBodySam wasn't trying to translate it, he was captioning that picture for a joke to... you know... make people laugh.

I'm surprised nobody has pointed out the slight visual edit I made to Tim on the second page... Looks like EXRicky used my images as the base for his translation, as my edit is in his, too. :P

----THE JOKE----> <- YOUR HEAD Never seen the 360 4/20 MLG n0-skrubz videos?

That's a d*** move. What about us who are overweight but trying to lose it? We need to eat still...starvation will only make our weight worse. Baaaaack to the topic: Looks interesting. Gonna love to see how it turns out. Might even get me back into lego.

I SAID THE FRIKIN' WORD HELL. I DIDN'T MAKE A MISTAKE. ----THE POINT------> <- YOUR HEAD I'm done. You don't know how to take criticism, you don't ever read, and you think I'm picking on you. Good-bye.

So I've started getting the orginal textures from the game (since we can't convert them yet) so you can see what they are and make your own replacements. I'll list the packs below when they are done. You can replace the files in your JAM with these too in the relevant folder. Download: https://ore.rockraidersunited.org/legacy/LRTextures_v9_991919.zip Includes: - English Font - Power Up Icons ( Thanks JimbobJeffers ) - Power Up Effects ( Thanks Segatendo ) - Bricks ( Thanks Segatendo ) - All Tracks ( Thanks Segatendo, JimbobJeffers ) GRASPART.BMP & SANDPART.BMP Must remain as indexed colour BMP's in order to maintain transparency.

Researchers at Sony Computer Science Laboratories have partnered with LEGO, to create experimental video game-LEGO model hybrids. It's very reminiscent of LEGO Spybotics, but with modern technology. The player models are operated via PlayStation controllers, with computer-controlled models to compete against. According to Sony, LEGO is concerned about losing kids to video games, and are interested in merging video games with LEGO sets directly. The project is very experimental and still has a lot of things to work out - such as short battery life - and plans for commercial products haven't solidified yet, but it should be interesting to see where this goes.

I found more statistics: I'm not sure what to make of this console generation. The last console I seriously wanted was the Gamecube, and the Wii was a bit "yeah sure, let's get one." I don't have any real interest in these new consoles, but maybe that's because I have a computer that's not trash. Before I got this one, consoles were my only option for quality gaming experiences.

This thread has taken a hilarious turn. I can't think of anything but to offer my applause to all of the expert translators we now have. ...oh.

Yes Alcom, I am. Gasp! They're the masks from Bionicle that for some reason everyone (not only Toa, who got powers from them) wore. (Fasion? Because their faces were too ugly otherwise?)

My translations of it:

I'm sorry if I missed it, or what, but what is Kanohi? Also I do like the work you have put into this. Your art is really good.

...And then we have the TT Games. I'm sorry, but that's what LEGO gets for allowing production of half-assed games with their products. And making a buckton of licensed themes. I'm sorry. That just made me LOL. Still, sounds like a fine idea. Looking forward to its fruition. Also, would this fit in Gaming or LEGO News? Looks like it could either way!

Long after their famous mission to Planet U, the LEGO Rock Raiders have traveled to a jungle planet on the far side of the galaxy. Beneath the planet's surface, they have discovered that the planet is rich in Brickonium Energy Crystals and other rare minerals. However, much like Planet U, these underground caverns are home to beings of living rock and crystal. But then, as the Rock Raiders stumble the ruins of an underground insectoid civilization, they uncover some dark secrets of the past... including one of the insectoids' "little" experiments. Calcite Copter The Rock Raiders Calcite Copter is a one-man aircraft designed for quick travel in underground caverns. Its sleek design lets it cut through the air with ease during flight, while its propeller, stabilized by means of advanced Rock Raider technology, gives it full vertical access to descend into the deepest underground trenches. The Calcite Copter also has a mounted mining laser turret that, when powered up with blue Brickonium, can cut through even hard rock with ease, although it expends much of the crystal's energy in doing so. Although designed for speed and maneuverability, the Calcite Copter is not particularly well-armored, and Jet was in for a horrific surprise when she stumbled upon this cybernetic rock monster! Gallery Cybernetic Rock Monster There is no name for this monstrosity, although some of the Rock Raiders have taken to referring to it by the nickname "Mad Jack". This ancient creature was once made of living rock and crystal, much like most of the rock monsters throughout the LEGO Universe. However, it was cybernetically enhanced by a civilization long since ruined, which replaced entire parts of its rock body with incredible machinery powered by a powerful energy crystal implanted into its chest. Now, this terror roams the underground caverns of the planet, posing a nightmare to anyone unfortunate to meet its rock claws and steel teeth. Gallery ----- This was a project I was working on since late 2010. The idea for the cybernetic rock monster was loosely inspired by Mad Jack from Donkey Kong 64. Here's concept artwork, along with some artist's comments. If you want to see 360o rotations of the models and some of the ways they can be moved, here's a video showcasing the models. Comments and constructive criticism are welcome!

Well, this topic is a mess. There is hardly ever highly offensive posts being made on RRU. Always, I repeat, ALWAYS assume it was a joke if you are unsure. Text does not convey emotion. Remeber back when McJobless said: He was indirectly helping you to get out of a possible warning for flaming. "Covering your back" as it were. Unfortunately you took that the wrong way and confirmed in nice big writing that you really were trying to flame him. This is not how forums work. Members cannot control when people can and cannot post. Moderators control how far they topics stray from it's purpose, you have no need to worry about this.

Are we sure that Docs isn't Australian?

jamesster has already said much more than he ever needed to say to defend the Calcite Copter. And I must say, thank you for that. But you know, while I'm here, I might as well also point out that the Calcite Copter is basically a flying Mobile Laser Cutter. Take a look at the Small and Large Mobile Laser Cutters, both of which are official Rock Raiders vehicles that are centered around mining. They don't have any minifigure accessories like pickaxes and shovels slapped on them just to shoehorn them into the Rock Raiders franchise. They're just vehicles with mounted mining lasers. And that definition is literally exactly what the Calcite Copter is: a vehicle with a mounted mining laser. Add in the Tunnel Scout's ability to fly, and you have a Rock Raiders vehicle that has all the mining capabilities of the Mobile Laser Cutters but is far more versatile in traveling through caverns; no longer restricted to cavern floor, but now able to fly over lava, water, and even crevices. Why wouldn't the Rock Raiders want a vehicle like this? Ignoring the fact that the Mobile Laser Cutters are completely useless in the PC game...

Yes they do. And I ask again, what do they have to do with the vehicles we are talking about? Your original post here specifically discussed the vehicle PeabodySam constructed, which you claimed had nothing to do with mining and therefore did not belong in the Rock Raiders theme (seeing as the first post in this topic gives it a detailed breakdown of how it mines with its laser, that's also complete nonsense - did you even read the topic before replying?): I posted official Rock Raiders vehicles that, unlike PeabodySam's custom vehicle, don't even have any mining-specific abilities (the hover scout just flies around, the rapid rider is basically just a cargo catamaran, and the two promotional sets are more variants on hover vehicles)... And now you're completely ignoring the vehicles and trying to talk about minifigure accessories? Sir, you are making absolutely no sense. Yet again, you've completely ignored everything said in reply to you and only spewed the exact same irrelevant nonsense from your previous post. This is getting quite ridiculous. Do you not have anything useful to say here? Edit: Oh, silly me, I forgot the Tunnel Transport and the other hover vehicle included in the same set! They're just flying vehicles (the Tunnel Transport can carry vehicles and such, the other is just a small one-man craft), both without any mining-specific functions, so shouldn't you be directing your disgust to things like them instead of PeabodySam's vehicle, which actually does have the ability to cut through rock and such? Why would it even be a problem in the first place?

You listed a bunch of minifigure accessories. What do those have to do with the vehicles being discussed? And again, you're spewing complete nonsense about "fake" Rock Monsters and a vehicle that supposedly "dosn't have anything to do with mining" (*doesn't), all while completely ignoring the hard work PeabodySam put into this model, the creativity behind it, and everything else good about it. You have provided absolutely no useful feedback of any kind, and yet again, only aggravated the community even more with your cruddy posts. You can't stand people giving you helpful and accurate feedback on your creations, yet you have the audacity to blindly bash somebody else's hard work with completely nonsensical points, then make even more nonsensical arguments when the lack of logic in your posting is pointed out? No. Just no. Good day sir.

I'll think you'll find he actually is making a typo, and meant to say "Hello". Otherwise, if he was saying "Hell", that would constitute as flaming, and I would have to report him for that. And if I reported him, he would get another strike to his possibly numerous strike list. And if gets enough strikes, he's outta here! So, he said "Hello to you, sir." Unless he'd like to continue this pitiful little argument? And frankly, I'm not shooting it down. Please look at his work in the "The Unexpected Agent" topic. My critic is as valid as it'll ever be. EDIT: I was out of line to say the last thing, but the top part remains valid, and I still hold the opinion that he has no right to discount jamesster's critic when he is relatively out of his depth.

Yeah, yeah. Say what you will, but between that mustache, nose, chin, and big, burly, hairy arms, I still think that Docs makes this comic Rated M... For Manly!

Specs are a terrible reason to lean toward a certain console, especially considering what some of the results have been from companies who brag about how high-tech their systems are. And hilariously, the PS2 and the Wii were the lowest spec consoles of their generations, and guess which ones won the race in each? Not saying low specs are a good thing by any means, but it sort of irritates me when people gush all about a system's specs and act like it will be the sole reason it will win the generation. It's the same reason it bugs me and many others when all someone can do is gush about how great the graphics are in a game. Without going into a complete bias, here's my two cents on the whole situation... Xbox One -- It's somewhat early to jump to conclusions right now considering we still have a whole lineup of games that are yet to be revealed, but I still am hating the whole concept of the anti-used games thing (which still may be a rumor, as they've been pretty unclear on the whole situation so far) and requiring online connection. Also, I really don't get where they're coming from on trying to market this as an all-in-one multimedia center. If you want to make something like that, that's fine, but when we've been trained for a decade now to connect the name "Xbox" to "video game console", what makes you believe people looking for such a utility will think to buy it? It's like trying to make a desktop operating system look like something that belongs on a portable...OH WAIT. That said, we still could potentially see a killer app fly by, though we have to wait until E3 to know for sure. PlayStation 4 -- I feel like the system has a lot of potential...or perhaps too much of it. I'll admit, some of the features did get me interested, especially streaming games and whatnot. It was also pretty relieving to find out they weren't going through with that used game policy after all. But on the other hand, I feel like they didn't learn from their mistake in the last generation -- the specs were so insanely high that we ended up with a ludicrously high price tag, which gave it a really rocky start. And from what I hear, their other mistakes have actually made them lose profits from the PS1 and 2 eras, which isn't something that can be easily overlooked. That's what makes me worry about this; the specs are amazingly high, but they almost feel so high that the price tag is going to shoot through the roof again. Wii U -- You might think from what I have said in the past that I think this system will be a complete success, in that case you'd be wrong. I am a Nintendo type of guy, but I think they made a pretty bad mistake of making that controller too costly -- Nintendo has been able to survive some tough times mainly because they profit off of every console sold, whereas other companies have to sell off some games before they make an official profit (hence why uber specs aren't always a good thing). The Wii U is an exception though, and apparently it's a pretty big loss per console at that. Not to mention its sales have been lukewarm at best lately, so I don't believe it's going to be an easy generation for Nintendo. A lot of people pass this system off as gimmicky, and yes, it is. But so were Rumble Paks, and now that's basically a standard thing built into every controller. All in all, I don't have hopes on the system being a huge success, but I don't entirely think it's going to kill them either, especially considering they've survived things like the Virtual Boy before. In the very end, I'm still a PC guy, but that's my whole opinion on the overall "war" if you will.

... the hell? It has everything to do with mining. And may I also point out these official vehicles, which actually have less to do with "mining" than this model? And you said nothing in regards to his actual building skill. What a heck of a post.

Especially not when these guys exist.

A console war implies they all have an equal chance of winning. I assure you, this is not the case.

Hell to you sir... > Hello to you too. You might want to fix that typo of yours.

Ben, I'm not sure whether or not you realize it but your oft sarcastic and terse replies are beginning to rub a lot of people the wrong way. If you genuninely would like feedback, then you need to be amicable in your communications with others. They are, after all, taking time out of their day to respond. If you can't, you will simply alienate yourself from the community.

Be calm, child. There's no need for this temper of yours. Will you answer the questions?

Why is that one guy in the Pizza Shop in EVERY screenshot? Is his entire life dedicated to standing there, waiting for a never-coming pizza? Has he actually ordered anything?

I think Nick is trying to copy the blacktron who sank my spessship.
