So I found an old video I recorded in 2009. Enjoy.

LEGO Racers Beta Project The Racers Beta Project is a mod that includes some elements that are taken and recreated from alpha/beta versions of the game. If you find any quarky stuff let me know, feedback is always appreciated :^) Features: - HUD in alpha/beta style (power ups, speedometer etc...); - Level order (follows folder order in jam archive); - All wheels textures have been changed based on those from alpha and beta screenshots. There is also other additional material (labeled as "custom") such as: - Revamped minimaps by RobExplorien + custom made by me for the Test track - Graphics of the garage in the Test track - Circuit SFX changed to sound like what you hear in the demo (KK) - Other bricks of different colors Inside the zip file there are 3 folders, the first is the one with the beta material, the second is that with the material custom, and the third contains some misc textures. How to install 1 - Take the folders that you want to install; 2 - Copy them in the original JAM extract; 3 - Rebuild the file JAM 4 - Put the new JAM into your "Lego Racers" folder; 5 - Run the game. Planned features - New power up layout (got from the alpha-beta shots); - New bmp text files; - Playing with an NPC car model (soon:tm:).

While we're waiting for more information from TalonCard/Kim Hagen, I wanted to share a little more I found that sheds a bit more light on these comics. I was browsing through Bricklink's catalog of World Club Magazin issues and noted that it isn't just what they have recorded that starts at March/April 1997 - the issue is labeled as Nr. 1, so it is actually the first published issue. That means that the first few years of the Time Cruisers comic would have been exclusive to Klick. I had mostly ignored Klick up to now because I just figured it was the same thing as the German World Club Magazin, but under a different title. Since this was apparently not the case, I looked into Klick more and found this. The focus of the article is Scala (apparently LEGO's most expensive product launch at the time - I imagine it must have been painful when the theme failed spectacularly), but more interesting is the latter part, that talks about the introduction of the LEGO World Club in Germany (confirming that the magazine did launch in 1997). It also says that that Klick was produced for the Austrian market, so apparently the French version that we have the images of a couple of covers for online is a translated version and not the original. Worth noting is that as late as 2000 World Club expanded to what I think would be Australia, and unlike the UK version this one seems to be a direct translation of the German version. This would mean that any Time Cruisers comics from 2000 and beyond are available in English. Finally, I found an old eBay listing for Issue 3 of Klick (expertly categorized as a pre-1980 Erector Set). It's dated August 1996, which implies that the magazine started early/mid that year, but it could be that that is just the French edition and the Austrian one goes back further.

Minecraft is nothing like Rock Raiders. One is an overhead RTS, the other is a first person sandbox.

I saw Equestria Girls much earlier today at a local cinema. I won't spoil anything for anyone, but I will note that it isn't anywhere near as bad as some of you might expect it to be, and actually was thoroughly enjoyable, inspiring, and amazing imo. Two girls in the front row were dressed as AppleJack and Trixie, and there was an apparently hardcore brony sitting across from me with a Rainbow Dash backpack who was talking of all his MLP:FiM merch, and at the end of the movie imitated Rainbow Dash and screamed: "That was awesome!".

From what I read there, the small bubble says This would mean Are you ready, Doc? in English. I also guess that the bubble leading to Sparks is misplaced and should belong to Tim. So, feeling bored, I plugged what you said into the Translator... and got this: Original text: "This would mean Are you ready, Doc? in English. I also guess that the bubble leading to Sparks is misplaced and should belong to Tim." ...35 translations later, Bing gives us: "In other words, the doctor will be ready and everybody on the team I think Hulk power." I THINK HULK POWER!

Thanks for the idea. Love, Cyrem.

I hate rock raiders. Pesky little bastars. WE WERE HERE FIRST!!

This is the best description I've seen for them in a long time.

I like XP. I also like 7. Vista can go die in a hole.

well i know this may be ironic but try this Change CanScare From TRUE to FALSE Should look like this Bat { Levels 1 RouteSpeed 1.0 TrackDist 10.0 CollRadius 10.0 AlertRadius 10.0 ; Alert radius (causes attack mode) RandomMove TRUE ; GrabMinifigure TRUE randomMoveTime 10 CanScare FALSE In the CFG File Been there, done that. Also stopped Small Spiders. All hail the Wad Tool and PSPad. ;P
