Title inspired by an older topic. http://youtu.be/IE0CvTRdmTE I just found out a few new things under the Sea section of the WRL.

Well... That certainly was interesting! Could somebody inform me how to resize an image?

I did see it was as a joke (smiley included. I don't know why it didn't show up in my quote). My apologies if you assumed I thought down about the comment; I simply saw using it the way I did as a method to again thank you all for your advice without seeming trite, and as a good transition for my counter-advice for aidenpons without seeming irritated. If it came off wrong, I apologize again. (And yes, I get you're not irritated now either, but still am posting this long explanation. Just roll with it.) On to less serious topics! I think (please, please, please) that I am done with the Akaku nuva. I estimate that it took roughly 2.5-3 time longer than the average mask thus far, beating the record previously held by the Olmek. I give thee the Ridiculouslyovercomplicatedmasko'seeingthroughstuffthatisactuallyprettycoolifyoulookcloselybutnolessdifficulttodraw,whichcausedmetocomplainagreatdealbutwasactuallyquitefuntomake,andisthehardestcolortoshadewell. This is my 100th post!

NO I'M DONE I'M MEGABLOKING DONE THIS IS MEGABLOKS THIS IS MEGABLOKING MEGABLOKS WHAT IS THIS WHAT IS THIS WHAT IS MY LIFE I CAN'T DO IT, JAMESSTER I CAN'T MEGABLOKING DO IT ANYMORE LOOK WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH, MAN WE GOTTA DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE WE GOTTA DRAW THE MEGABLOKING LINE IN THE SAND, DUDE WE GOTTA MAKE A STATEMENT YOU GOTTA LOOK INSIDE YOURSELF AND SAY, "What am I willing to put up with today?" NOT! MEGABLOKING! THIS!

So Antillies and I started off in a relatively nice spot, southwest of the mighty rock, in a savannah. The desert was close by but we didn't pay any attention to it. All went fine, we chopped down trees, crafted the mandatory set of stone tools and created a pig massacre. Antillies went out a bit to seek for a cave. By the time we both got there it was close to pitch dark outside but luckily the mobs showed mercy and didn't spawn around us. After quickly lighting torches and closing off the cave entrance we set up our temporary base and started mining more coal and iron ore. At the same time we tried to venture down further in the cave system, to be greeted by the vengeful Skeletons and nitwit Zombies. Two of the former gave me a surprise by suddenly appearing behind me via a ceiling hole, but luckily Antillies came and we slaughtered both. After that we smelted iron ore, crafted our iron equipment and decided to look for another way to go down in the cavern. That's the point where Antillies made a deathly mistake by breaking the wrong stone block, causing a zombie to take him down immediately after. I ran back to base like the chicken I am trying to save at least some dignity for team Block Chasers. Antillies's stuff was too dangerous to reach for, still being guarded by the undeath. I recollected my courage (talked a bit more with my deceased team member via a Skype call to revise tactics) and decided to go down via a stairway in search for the deeper lying cavities in Minecraft's flat world. While mining my way through I stumbled upon a vain of not 4, 5, 6 or 7, but 8 diamonds! I, happy as a kid who just received a lollipop, stashed the gems in my inventory and went back to looking for where those growling noises came from. In the meantime Shadowblaze died from starvation I believe so that put us, Arthuriel, RR Rocks (if I recall) and me, in a 1 VS 1 VS 1 fight. Later on I found the cave where the growling came from and also found pretty gold ore to supply my apples with a gold coating. A few blocks further I found a lava pool with diamond ore above it and a stream of water with more gold ore next to it, so I was cashing in in just the first hour. I got some obsidian for the enchantment table and mined some more. I figured I may be able to lock someone in with it later on. Me, fed up with the underground atmosphere, went up to explore the outskirts of our 'claimed area'. I had 18 diamonds in my pocket so that certainly gave me a huge advantage, but without a bow I felt naked. I stumbled upon an NPC village in the desert not far from our base, so this was a great moment to collect on carrots. The blacksmith's chests yielded 5 apples and iron horse armor, not any more special (not like the horse armor aided me during the UHC). To my great surprise a desert temple was just around the corner, with in it lots of gold bars, an enchanted book (Projectile Protection IV) and ofcourse the TNT. I was going nuts in front of my monitor which may have looked really stupid. Anyway, I stayed for a night with the lovely squidward people (who by dawn were mostly killed by zombies), made a few golden apples and then went out to look for my final opponent, Arthuriel. So in short I've been looking for Arthuriel for half the round to no avail. We were both looking for the other so I guess we must've missed each other by both walking counterclockwise over the map. The Ace Railgun got bored of us pointlessly running around in squares and opted for a Death Match pretty much from the point when there were only two man still standing, which was practically after an hour. Well, finally we were teleported to the mighty rock where the spawnpoint was at. I expected Arthuriel to have a bow at hand, but luckily that wasn't the case. Too bad maybe, since I actually had the best protection against arrows. Soon I discovered I was overpowered against him, he only having an iron sword and the fitting armor, along with lots of cobblestone. I slowly tried to get to him and lit a few blocks of TNT as a warning. He made a coward pillar of cobblestone, so the TNT didn't really help to get there. So, I made myself a small stairway to get to him. I lit a block of TNT right underneath him, but he got away faster than I anticipated. I forgot that the blast caused by the TNT could knock you off your platform, and since I was high up I fell down to receive a welcoming death in the sand. I suck. tl;dr: My experience and perspective of Minecraft UHC round 4. Just check out the footage The Ace Railgun made of this round (once he gets it uploaded).

http://www.simplyscripts.com/2014/03/15/the-lego-movie-script/ http://www.screenplaydb.com/film/scripts/lego.pdf Whoa. Is this seriously legit? It certainly fits the early descriptions we heard of the movie, with Emmet being a descendant of these ancient Master Builder people (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/03/14/lord-miller-talk-lego-movie), and the title being "LEGO: The Piece of Resistance" (http://www.slashfilm.com/phil-lord-chris-miller-offer-title-plot-details-warner-bros-lego-movie/). There's also this: http://writetoreel.com/forum/showthread.php?4895-REQUEST-quot-The-Lego-Movie-quot-(2014)-script&p=18486&viewfull=1#post18486 I've signed up for the forum but my account isn't approved yet so I can't download the file, but it's the same size as the one previously linked to. So unless it's something different that just happens to be the same size, that would date this draft to September 27, 2010 (the movie started development in 2008). Here's an analysis of it: http://www.filmdivider.com/the-lego-movie-we-didnt-see-with-indiana-jones-harry-potter-and-a-love-of-kubrick/ Sources: Simply Scripts

I had a little spare money and went to my local LEGO store. Fushigisaur had >convinced me >enough to go buy some Mixels, so I bought all three black ones and two of the yellow ones (sorry, I don't know the names ). They had nine racks but chose to spread those five across them all, rather than stock the whole series. Anyway, after building the standard models, I was inspired by the awesomely crazy appearances and their lack of symmetry. So I broke 'em all apart and built... Gary. I had no plan at all when building this, other than the initial "He's gots to hav lots of teh eyez, leik EIGHT EYEZ WOOOAAAH". I just stuck one part together after another and improvised the whole thing, so there were few occasions when I had to take something apart to build it differently. Oh yeah, he farts electricity. He's pretty poseable, particularly his head. And his main two eyes spin around, while his jaw opens and closes. Little things like that to add life to it. Gary's the first MOC I've made in a long time (since before entering the 'Dark Ages') that I've actually been really proud of . I don't want to change him in any way. He's gonna sit on my desk 4everz and be my l'il buddy. Hence I got a little overexcited and wrote a whole essay about him that you probably skimmed through. EDIT: Ah, my 1,111th post! A nice way to remember this.

Akaka: Ukaku:

Is plain English more understandable than all this: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> If you answered yes! Then you will probably want to use these. Preview Download: https://app.box.com/s/owbmxkucbih08mql3lpv Currently almost everything in the WRL topic is done, except the ones missing major information that could be game breaking if not changed (only a few). The goal here is to make those unfamiliar with Hex editing an easier way to mod the WRL. Hey, I'm not programmer, but at least this is a step up from no programs at all!

Seeing as Fushigisaur has made us all even more aware (and interested) in LEGO's new Mixel line, I've bought myself a few and decided to watch a bit of the "show" (if one could even call the cartoons such). So, I've made it my responsibility to make a thread for Mixels discussion. What do you think of the "story" (loosely speaking here), and the models themselves? Personally, I think that while this series seems like a cash-in by LEGO and Cartoon Network, it's not the WORST idea I've seen (*COUGHBEN10COUGH*), and the pieces are highly reusable. My main qualm would be that the series 1 Mixels would be more memorable than the other series (although they do look cooler) Also, Flain looks NOTHING like his cartoon counterpart. But that's my opinion. What's yours?

Pictures have arrived. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152059248013403.1073741861.6665038402 Sources: Hell

Thanks a lot! I didn't really see the range of parts as a limitation though, rather a challenge, it was great to work out how to construct him with the parts available.

Love this song, it's so pretty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GdJdy108W0

Actually Ace, that is exactly what I want. All of these extra opinions help me iron out the many mistakes and issues that pop up. However, to Aidenpons, when critiquing, please be more specific. Squished could be vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or outwards (illusion of a Z axis through shading). I do want your help, but I don't really know what you mean, so can you give me a more detailed description? Thanks for the waffle though. Now I have almost all of the ingredients for my falafel fish waffles. Newest version of the Akaku Nuva:

Words cannot describe how adorable this is. The name is also cute, and fits well with the MOC. For what you had to work with, considering the Mixel's mis-matched and detrimental part supply, this is very nice! The use of the new mini-balljoints is great.

jamesster: Somebody just ran by me, their first name "Gorilla" PeabodySam: Which almost looks Latin. jamesster: they're an eagle PeabodySam: Eagorilla? PeabodySam: I'm just going to call him Eagor. PeabodySam: Let's find Kownt Drunkula so he can work for him. jamesster: hah PeabodySam: And together they can make Fronkenshteen. PeabodySam: But oh no Cragger stole the cheese. PeabodySam: Now they have no more drugs. PeabodySam: So now it's up to Rex Furry to save the day. jamesster: my brain hurts PeabodySam: And then along comes Dali, and he's all like, "rhinos, dude!" PeabodySam: Then suddenly peacocks chased the skunks up the waterfall. PeabodySam: Upside down. jamesster: the load times on this game are like LI2-ish PeabodySam: Then a big something like the Combine opened up in the sky. jamesster: though according to the community manager it's due to server stress and will be fixed PeabodySam: A CD pizza came out and flattened everyone. jamesster: https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGENDS-OF-CHIMA-ONLINE/bd-p/Legends_of_Chima_Online PeabodySam: And Dr. Pepper who was the Brickster's not son proclaimed, "I have long load times copyrighted!" PeabodySam: Then bug reporting spontaneously combusted and exploded. PeabodySam: After some dude was watching Suicide Mouse back in the day and said "oh no i have to go poop now". jamesster: is this real life PeabodySam: And then WHO ARE YOU? also caught on fire. PeabodySam: And the Archette was on fire. PeabodySam: And the updates were on fire. PeabodySam: Roses are red PeabodySam: Violets are red PeabodySam: Trees are red PeabodySam: Grass is red PeabodySam: Dammit my front yard is on fire. PeabodySam: DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC jamesster: no PeabodySam: But then AgentJHM11 was not impressed. PeabodySam: And pacman87 does know how to arrow keys. PeabodySam: And WhiteAlligator is confused because there's only green and brown crocodiles. PeabodySam: Maybe. jamesster: I'm working on LEGO Message Boards Simulator v1.0 PeabodySam: And then diglett809 used CARRY OVER! PeabodySam: It's not very effective... jamesster: Lair was gonna do it but his mind melted in shock when he saw some of the posts there PeabodySam: And then Transmunks262 initiated Alpha Mode and transmunked into a chipmunk. jamesster: OH I SEE HOW IT IS GAME, I CAN WAIT THREE AND A HALF HOURS TO WAIT FOR THIS ITEM TO CRAFT jamesster: OR I CAN SPEND SIX GOLD BRICKS AND GET IT INSTANTLY PeabodySam: And then diglett809 proclaimed... jamesster: https://na.chimaonline.com/en/gold-bricks PeabodySam: Post in ALL the topics! PeabodySam: An hours ago! PeabodySam: But then Rocket Racer took all the Gold Bricks and hid them around Sandy Bay, Dino Island, Mars, Arctic, and Xalax. PeabodySam: He hid more in Nimbus System, but then something exploded because Michael Bay is directing this, and they turned blue instead. PeabodySam: Now... PeabodySam: THEY'RE BLUE PeabodySam: BABADIBABADIE PeabodySam: IF THEY WERE GREEN THEY WOULD DIE jamesster: HOLY CRUD I JUST HEARD A SOUND EFFECT FROM LU ALPHA/EARLY BETA PeabodySam: SUDDENLY NOSTALGIA jamesster: THE ORIGINAL ACHIEVEMENT SOUND IS USED WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING PeabodySam: It's not very effective... jamesster: meh PeabodySam: But to buy something, you need money. PeabodySam: And suddenly Medic took ALL the money. PeabodySam: No more LU beta sound effect for you. jamesster: :c PeabodySam: Because Chima needs more HATS. PeabodySam: HATS JAMESSTER PeabodySam: HATS PeabodySam: Then HATS send a transmission... PeabodySam: ALL YOUR CHEESE ARE BELONG TO US PeabodySam: And then the Darkitect [YOU CANNOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF THIS TEXT] and changed flowers. jamesster: you said that as I was buying headgear PeabodySam: Now the flowers are HATS. PeabodySam: But is RED now BLU? PeabodySam: That depends on who you are. PeabodySam: You'll see. PeabodySam: COME TO CHIMA PeabodySam: No, come to LEGO Island. PeabodySam: We've got racing and jetskiing and building and flying and watching and driving and having fun and - PeabodySam: NO PeabodySam: CHIMA PeabodySam: WE HAVE CHEESE PeabodySam: Go Crocs PeabodySam: Unless Lions are with a sledgehammer jamesster: My character is named Bionic StromlingBearclaw PeabodySam: Right before Jake Thunder kills everyone with a RAWKET LAWNCHAIR PeabodySam: Then SUDDENLY JOHNNY THUNDER PeabodySam: It's super effective! PeabodySam: Jake Thunder DED PeabodySam: Johnny Thunder gains 1006 exp. points and gets a role in a new movie. PeabodySam: YAY PeabodySam: LEGO faith has been restored. PeabodySam: SIMPSONS PeabodySam: LEGO faith has been lost. PeabodySam: Faith is a fragile thing. jamesster: So are LEGO models. PeabodySam: With Galaxy Squad and LEGO Movie, it is strengthened. jamesster: And this game. PeabodySam: Then cheese and beer come along and everything exploded. PeabodySam: But then the ice cream melted, prompting PeabodySam to suddenly go AFK. jamesster: aw PeabodySam: So PeabodySam wasn't front, and the ice cream are ded. PeabodySam: And the moon was almost at top of where at the sky and bird. PeabodySam: Then Jeff Bridges was a star, man. PeabodySam: Which reminded Laval of more CHEESE PeabodySam: And then Laval was in two videogames PeabodySam: But his arch nemesis Lava was in infinitely more. PeabodySam: So Laval lost and resorted to cheating. PeabodySam: Which sounds a lot like cheesing. PeabodySam: He plasmified at twelve o'clock while riding a Speedorz. PeabodySam: But then he crashed his Speedorz into Warrior's car and exploded. PeabodySam: So now he has to go collect drones. PeabodySam: To upgrade his cheese. PeabodySam: But Laval went to Ogel's Island to look for drones. PeabodySam: And instead he found Slimy Slugs because he went to OGEL Island instead. jamesster: a slimy slug is invading your ramblings PeabodySam: Then Laval was los tin space. PeabodySam: Which is like los tin cup which is about golf, which is a SPOATS. PeabodySam: XBOX, go home, you're drunk. PeabodySam: TEE VEE TEE VEE TEE VEE TEE VEE TEE VEE PeabodySam: And so Microsoft reverted back to Windows XP. PeabodySam: But Duke Nukem kept spamming them. PeabodySam: BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS jamesster: I'm a bear with pointy sticks and a pink vest PeabodySam: And then a malformation of falling rocks happened. PeabodySam: All at the same time. PeabodySam: So now we've got TEE VEE BALLS LANDSLIDE TEE VEE BALLS LANDSLIDE TEE VEE BALLS LANDSLIDE PeabodySam: And everywhere Laval went, it eroded the ground away. PeabodySam: So the Rock Raiders hated him for causing Lake of Fire. PeabodySam: So they booted his sorry Soviet behind back to Canada. PeabodySam: There, Laval found drones. PeabodySam: So he needed to go back to Xalax but didn't have spesship. PeabodySam: So he hitched a ride with the blacktron and Joe Spaceborn. PeabodySam: Who is distantly related to Jim Spaceborn. PeabodySam: But then that's no moon. PeabodySam: That's an infomooniac. PeabodySam: So we need dramatic music. PeabodySam: DADA DAAA DADA DAAA DADA DAAA DADA DAAAA PeabodySam: Infomooniac just keeps showing up in Alderaan places at Alderaan times. jamesster: did I fall asleep jamesster: because this is surreal for real life but average for my dreams PeabodySam: But then they had salvation. PeabodySam: Because Ernie was a black hole. PeabodySam: So Conker had a really bad fur day. PeabodySam: Because Elmo wanted to learn math from Ernie, and divided by a ghost dog from a Tim Burton film. PeabodySam: Then suddenly Cthulego. PeabodySam: ... PeabodySam: Nah, no Cthulego. PeabodySam: Anyways... PeabodySam: Infomooniac, Laval, and the drones got sucked into Ernie's hole. PeabodySam: It was really dark in there. jamesster: oh goodness PeabodySam: And then they were at Xalax. PeabodySam: And Laval gave the drones to Warrior. PeabodySam: But Warrior was mad because they were the wrong type of drones. PeabodySam: He wanted Skeleton Drones, but Laval got him Ice Drones. PeabodySam: So he got kicked out of LEGO Racers 2. PeabodySam: So Laval had to find a different game company. jamesster: is this like some sort of alternate universe of the DARPG PeabodySam: But then, Laval was ensnared in a net by a devil. PeabodySam: And then the Darkitect [uNGRASPABLE TEXT]. PeabodySam: So Laval went to TellTale. PeabodySam: And they were all like, "WRONG TT GAMES" PeabodySam: So they booted his sorry Soviet behind back to Canada again. PeabodySam: But luckily, he found a magic balloon and floated to Nintendo. PeabodySam: But John McCain beat him to the Wii U. PeabodySam: So he had to settle for the 3DS instead. PeabodySam: And that, my friends, is how "Lava's Journey" came to be. PeabodySam: But Dr. Pepper who was the Brickster's not son was still mad because the cheese topping from the CD pizza was missing. PeabodySam: GUESS WHO PeabodySam: It was the Crack-odiles! PeabodySam: And it was revealed that the whole thing started because Cragger ran out of crack and wanted to try cheese as a substitute. PeabodySam: But everyone was sad in Fabuland because there weren't enough HATS. PeabodySam: Except the snakes, so they got kicked out of Fabuland and had to settle in Ninjago instead. PeabodySam: Then the cheese wars wrecked Fabuland. jamesster: sorry was claiming a portal thing jamesster: what the PeabodySam: Then Cave Johnson introduced lemons to Fabuland. PeabodySam: Everything caught on fire. PeabodySam: So he needed infomooniac rocks to create portals. PeabodySam: But the only way to get that was to get inside Ernie's black hole. PeabodySam: Luckily, they had a Space Core to do the job. PeabodySam: But then the Space Core ended up in Skyrim. PeabodySam: And that caused the Darkitect to [uNGRASPABLE TEXT]. PeabodySam: So Nexus Force was ded. PeabodySam: And then the Darkitect [YOU] and [CANNOT] with [GRASP] potato [THE] Danielle Radcliffe [TRUE] with a bucket of [FORM] then [OF] suddenly dinosaurs [THIS] so you'll have to [TEXT] sideways. PeabodySam: And LEGO Universe asploded. PeabodySam: And LEGO execs were all like, "Our MMO has failed. LET'S MAKE ANOTHER!" PeabodySam: Because Medic was whispering to them about FREE MONEY. PeabodySam: But they had a cheese shortage. PeabodySam: Which gave them an idea. PeabodySam: Two seconds later, they slapped this game together. PeabodySam: And now you know. PeabodySam: And knowing is half the battle. PeabodySam: BUT WHO WAS PHONE?!? PeabodySam: [/end] jamesster: http://assets0.ordienetworks.com/images/GifGuide/clapping/busey_clapping.gif PeabodySam: Clearly, the best Chima fanfic ever. jamesster: holy crud man
