An new machine from RZT Automotive (complete with a really crappy vector badge). Note to self: Make concept art (not even complete) and badge before making the model. Quadador is a concept Motorcycle similar to the Dodge Tomahawk. Like the hawk, it has four wheels, uses chains for the final drive, has a three arm linkage on the front, is moved by a big engine and both are about the same size. But that is where the two stop comparing and start contrasting. For starters, it is made not just to be ridden but to be done so on public roads and if can not be done so legally as is, it should not take much to make it legal. This means it has a lot more lights than the Tomahawk and a windscreen to comply with regs. There is a harness to hold the rider on just in case the screen is not enough. There is no instrument panel. Rather a HUD on the windscreen is used because I found from experience that standard panels are just too far away from the "driving area" to be useful. The engine is in essence, two Wankel Rotatory engines from Mazda RX-8's on a common shaft with two turbochargers, so it should be in the range as a Tomahawk for power. The transmission is a 3-speed sequential with a diff to better preserve the tires. The ground clearance is also greater so getting stuck on a speed bump is a lot less likely.

Powerbrick arches are the new phenomenon in LR. I was thinking of using these as checkpoints which the player has to pass in a given time or as fast as possible and compete for best times perhaps. Even if this idea does not appeal, it still makes pretty arches. Radius is customizable now.

So as you know me, I hack LEGO Racers 2 a lot with Cheat Engine. I made a discovery today though with it. There are two hidden in-game cheats that no one has ever posted key combinations for, overhead camera, and mirrored world. Now since no one knows the key combination to press to activate these in game cheats, I decided to make a trainer that you can enable/disable them with. I've also included the other 2 cheats be a martian and wide angle cam for your convenience. (The unlock Xalax and Mars don't have a shared address with these so are not included, sorry!) Enjoy! https://app.box.com/s/23m7irz9rx8wh9er31aa

Hey everyone, it's time for another full-o-feels blog entry. If you haven't guessed yet by the title, this is about my dog who we unfortunately had put down at around 10:00am on Monday, December 16, 2013. Her name is Dusty. She was about 13 years old. On October 31, 2001, Halloween of all days, we got a call from our neighbor saying to come outside (this was after trick or treat hours) and see what she found. What we saw was this little black puppy running around in her yard. We were told that she had been abandoned by her previous owner, as she didn't have a collar on. We played around with her for a little while, then my dad said it was getting late and that my brother and I should head back inside the house. I went to my room, and was sitting on my floor playing with my toys (I was around 6 at the time). A few minutes later, I heard the front door open, and not even 15 seconds after that, this little black furball rushed into my room and attacked my face... with love. And so began the start of something that changed our lives forever. I had a friend that I could talk to and play with, and that is exactly what she was. My best friend. Continue on through life and you would see this dog jump around, get in trouble, beg for scraps, play with her toys, be a lovable part of the family. She started many traditions, including going outside with me as I went to get the mail, when we would get home from school, or dad came home from work, she would show us her bone, we would say "I see your bone!" and take it from her, then give it back, and her unstoppable craving for cheese, oh how she loved it. We introduced her to camping, which she absolutely enjoyed. The way she'd perk up on Christmas morning when she saw the toys in her stocking, just like us. The constant sweeping the floors to keep up with her insane shedding. This dog was so spoiled, I can't even count the number of toys she's had, and almost every single one was de-stuffed and strung all over the floor at one time or another. And she had her bed next to the door in my parents bedroom. This bed was only rated for a puppy, and she quickly out grew it, but she never stopped using it. She would still curl up in a ball and sleep in it, even though her head rested on the floor. We even got her a bigger bed, and she refused to use it over her old one. Life went on. We got older, she got older. She was still happy and perky, but you could just hint at the older age setting in. Then, a little over a year ago, she had a neural based seizure. Her eyes were moving rapidly back and forth causing nausia, and it was after the vet had closed, so we couldn't do anything. She was like that for a full 24 hours all through the night until we got her to the vet the next morning. We got her some medicine to help, and she eventually made a 90% recovery. However, the disease that caused it made her lose control of her balance. She was on medication to help with that for the rest of her life. Then just here recently, she went downhill. She started losing weight, she had trouble standing up and walking. She had a growth developing in her abdomen, which due to her age, couldn't be removed.Then just this past night she was laying down, moaning in pain due to that mass. Morning came, and she wasn't even able to stand. We got her in the truck and she didn't move at all the entire trip to the vet. My dad carried her inside, normally she would struggle because she hates the vet, this time she didn't so much as flinch. We got her in the room and laid her on her side up on the table. The doctor came in and said "Take all the time you need." During those last moments, Dusty used the last of her strength to sit up on the table to see all of us there with her. After that, we signaled the doctor that we were ready. The doctor came in and did her thing, and left us alone. And as she went, my nerves kicked in, and I had to lay down on the bench. I couldn't handle the initial moment. I then settled down and went back to the table to see her. There she lay, staring blankly at me. She was gone. We stayed there for a little while longer, then as the rest of the family began to leave, I stood up, kissed Dusty on the head, and said goodbye. I thanked the doctor, and left the room. Since it is winter, we can't bury her, so we're having her cremated until spring comes around and the ground thaws out. Then she will receive a proper burial. This was really hard to type out. I needed a way to vent and this was the best way for me. Dusty was there through a lot of hard times in my life and was always there to comfort me when I needed it. Now that she's gone, it will be harder to cope with my daily struggles. At least now I know that she isn't hurting anymore, and that she's a puppy once more, having fun with her brothers Alex and Max. Thank you to anyone who read this. I just needed to let it all out.

Edited my little tool, it can now place these arches in any horizontal direction. Also, below an image of different radii. Will continue optimalizing tool. Also, discovered (if not done already) that the white bricks can't be collected if you don't denote the use of coloured bricks in the .PWB file. So you skip the entries for coloured bricks and go straight to denoting white brick positions. So to answer both of your questions, you can't collect them this way.

You know how to pull heart strings, man. I feel for you. Our dog of 12 years died last year. We has her since a puppy, I was only 4 when we got her. Man, we all loved her and were all crying when we found her, even mom, and she is not a pet person. I'd feel the story, but I can't on mobile. A pet is something you will never forget (even if it was a mean one), and once it dies or is killed or put down, a part of you is gone, and very rarely can that hole be filled. It might be partially, but never completely.

Hiya, it's me. "I have identified them" If by that you mean "I found which files it is", then a condescending "congrats, so did everyone else" is in order. If you mean you've made some progress on the internal data format, then I'm interested. I've made a LOT of progress on the terrain files (*.TDF). Jamesster is correct in saying that I posted images on Skype and the shoutbox; I managed to pull out heightmap data, normalmap data, and as of tonight, texture blending data. I haven't documented the data structure yet, but I'll get to it this week. There's still a lot of unknowns in the format that need addressing. TLDR: I haven't made a topic for them yet, I will do this week because I've got a lot to share.

Origamiguy found them and cracked their format quite a while ago actually, though I dunno if he posted a topic for it. He posted some images on Skype and the shoutbox.

Identifications of them? I haven't seen any posted, nope.

It's the new Meals on Wheels.

#4569 Warrior Review by FlashySnakez Photo Review So I got warrior online. It comes with a ramp and a launcher. I like the art a lot, but I have to say, why do they pop out at random times! The design is good for kids who are young, as it is only 4 pieces! Also, the design of the launcher isn't that good, as it doesn't work that good. But, these cars go pretty fast! Rating [Design: ~ / 9 Quality: ~ / 8 Fun: ~ / 9 Price: ~ / 10 Is it a Buy it, or a skip it? I would go with Buy it for collectors, racers, and little kids, but if you are not a person who likes to launch stuff, then it would be a skip it! Total rating: 9.5

How short do you want these? Give us a character limit if possible. Is that turn too tight for a power slide? Try a super slide! Hold the brake key as you begin your slide and you will turn even more tightly (need to confirm how to do this, it's been forever). When you have a warp powerup, try using it right before touching a powerup or white brick. You will pick up the brick as you enter the warp which can be helpful. Have you heard about the TRUCK DRIVER cheat? It's fake. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.
