I don't have anything to add at the moment other than a new, cleaner shot of the truck. I think I am done with this model. I do not think that there is anything I can add or change to make it any better. The fact that this model now contains exactly 111 pieces is a big factor in this decision, I don't want to change anything and throw off the part count. I am ready to move on to other projects now. I think I will try my hand with more custom LRR vehicles, seeing as this one seemingly went well. So expect another model soon. Very soon.

On December 18th, I submitted a change of program application to RIT. The program I applied for was the Game Design and Development major at the RIT School of Interactive Games & Media (IGM). After several tense weeks and I finally got my response, and that response is... "maybe". The decision of whether or not I return to RIT depends on my performance in this Spring Semester at RIT. Around the time I submitted my application, I also signed up for a full semester of spring courses relevant to and required by the Game Design major. If I perform well in these courses, I am allowed into the program. I certainly intend to do well. I have a single setup in the dorms, and am cleaning and packing my stuff to leave for college this weekend. Yay. The response I received:

Your sentiments are shared. Man, if only Scene 24 wasn't left on the cutting room floor... Well, there's a few interesting things to note from the trailer. A few more Minifigures cameos among MetalBeard's crew, as seen at 1:07. Dumbledore apparently will also be making a cameo appearance in Cloud Cuckoo Land, as seen at 1:09. Uni-Kitty's voice is less obnoxious in this trailer, as opposed to that other TV spot. MORGAN FREEMAN READS THE PHONEBOOK AND IMITATES BATMAN. Also, apparently, Octan Tower is microscale. If you freeze-frame at the end when Virtuvius is imitating Batman, Batman's mask pops off and you see Bruce Wayne's face underneath. Also, there's a ton of funny background events in this trailer. There's one clip where Batman is interrogating some guy, and another where some girl dumps a cup of water on a guy and messes up his hair. And, let's see, what else... Oh, yeah. 0:57. I'll just leave it at that, because I can't put my reaction to 0:57 into words. You need to see it to believe it. And I'm not talking about Bad Cop/Good Cop.

Here's a great 'Behind the Bricks' video, Lyichir found it and shared on BZPower and Eurobricks. Dear Batman, Please stop being a character that could have been perfectly substituted with Johnny Thunder. It makes your otherwise amusing lines painful to watch.

MisterGryphon sent us some more of jamesster's brilliant wisdom from the LUR. On 1/23/14, at 11:39 PM, jamesster wrote: > Fun Fact: The /alertsoff feature in Skype was created when the developers were given a look at their product's future and saw this group.

Maybe because it's late and I'm tired or something, but I found jamesster's comment funnier than I probably should have. PeabodySam: But I've got a long day tomorrow, so it would probably wise to try to get some shut eye a little early tonight. PeabodySam: As opposed to last night, where my finger started spontaneously bleeding at midnight. jamesster: ok jamesster: wat PeabodySam: I honestly have no more of a clue than you do. jamesster: the tooth fairy got drunk

Wow, this has to be the most pointless thing I've ever- did you say PC speaker? (Tries this instantly, only to realize I don't have Linux)

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.
