Has this been posted on RRU yet? The file that contains all the text for the Information Center contains ages of all the characters, despite them not being shown in-game: So Pepper is 12, the Brickster is 35, and the Infomaniac is 55, at least in LI2. There is also nobody aged or between 13 and 22. And apparently the whole "zillions of years" thing from LI1 was just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wonder if his parents were ever, like, c'mon and go get a real job.

I felt like rebuilding my Mixels into an ant. So I rebuilt my Mixels into an ant. I can't stress enough how great those sets are. I hope to get some better pictures at other angles but this thing is surprisingly unphotogenic

Man, Silicon Dreams really must have thrown any indications of how time passed in the original LEGO Island out the window. The LEGO Island manual says that the group photo was taken half a zillion years ago, and yet Pepper is the same age as he is in the game. It seemed like nobody ever really aged on LEGO Island - they lived the timeless existence that a fictional character in the hands of a child often does. The Brickster never even ate anything - the sign says no pizza, and there isn't any other food on the island. But then LEGO Island 2 suddenly makes references to the normal passage of time, including most notably Pepper's new appearance. And now we have this, a list of all of the character's specific ages. It's not necessarily a worse way of doing things, but it is certainly different and not as suited to my preferences, so I can't help but be a little disappointed. Maybe the developers realized that these ages didn't make a ton of sense in light of everything said in the original LEGO Island, and that's why they omitted them?

Vitruvius, as he appears in the prologue, will be the exclusive minifigure for the special DVD Blu-Ray whatever thingy, apparently: http://brickset.com/article/10555/the-lego-movie-blu-ray-to-include-vitruvius-minifig

What's also interesting is that 12 was the estimated age of Pepper in LEGO Island 2 among fans, since it was generally assumed that he was about 7 or 8 in the first game and a teenager (in this case, 13) in Island Xtreme Stunts, and this outright confirms that theory. Even disregarding the whole "zillions of years" thing as a made-up number (looks like Tacku was right about that), Infomaniac is surprisingly young. Only 55? Huh. And I guess that makes him 20 years old when he built the Brickster... but did he build the Brickster as an adult? Because then that would assume that the Brickster was either built far more recently in LEGO Island history than we've been led to believe, or else the Brickster doesn't age... bah, I'm confused by LEGO canon. Again. I'll have to check this out more later when I have time, TIME, TIME TIME![/doctorcyber]

Yes, I am aware the last post was from January last year, but I found something that would make the Racers font (both alpha/beta and final) usable on computer and possibly web consumption (not that you might want to on the latter though ): FontForge It appears to be one powerful program, allowing font creation from within it, importing of SVGs, and with a separate program can even trace bitmaps and import them into a font (although nowadays you only want to use vector-based fonts). There is even a whole book on designing a font using FontForge. Basically, if AppliArt sees this message and wants to pick this back up or someone else wants to take a whack at this, I think there is a good chance you would succeed. :)

Objective: To have at least 7 guests in your park by the end of October, Year 2014.

TASTE THE SPACESHIP MEGABLOKERS But seriously, that's cute. It tastes of Star Wars and diabetes.

A scout mech, designed to work in tandem with larger units. Oddly, the Basset sacrifices speed for armor, straying from the standard design philosophy of scouting mechs. Zip file in disguise download.

Advisor: Do you really think, that slow scouts are a good addition to our army, Sir? General: Of course they are. Nobody expects the spanish inquisition heavy scout*! Soon I will conquer this planet with my army of mechs, which are totally unfitting for each of their designated tasks! Advisor: Uhm, okay. You are totally right, Sir. Advisor (whispering to a guy beneath him): He's mad. We have to double his dosage of Anti-Insano-Pills. *the heavy scout. The new character class in TF2 ; )

Just posted this to my channel. My special 10 minute track called "Triumph". Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wlgzH2J-3A
