[3:26:05 AM] Will Kirkby: if I had a nickel for every time people used floating-point for currecy, I'd have $1567.0000001

[9:53:55 PM] Alcom Isst: I wonder if LEGO Digital Designer was outsourced to aliens that have rather odd teloscopic vision. [9:54:14 PM] Alcom Isst: I am running out of LDD-FOV jokes. [9:54:44 PM] Alcom Isst: Which is another reason it needs to be fixed. [9:55:03 PM] Bartolomäus Klauser: Only you could have thought up that many jokes about something like this in the first place [9:55:33 PM] Jamesster: there isn't a very big window for jokes [9:55:41 PM] Jamesster: the opportunities are quite narrow

I was a bit worried about this one, but it looks WAY better on a grey background. phew. We have here another Miru. Tanma's this time. I suppose that since he's an av-matoran, it would originally be gold and just changes to match his disguise. I just realized that this is my fourth post in a row. hmmmm.... There is an average week between each one though, so I guess its fine.

Battletech has giant mechs which I love and it makes me want to recreate them in LEGO so I built this. Images link to the Bricksafe page. LDD File

okay it's working for me NOW but let me see if i can still post 30 screenshots arrgh! It's still not working! Why can't I post my 30 pictures I took?

Since we were talking about minifig names here, check this out. Johnny Thunder's Hungarian name was possibly Thomas Lightning.

[11:48:43 AM] professorbrickkeeper: (In other news, I just bought several hundred light trans. blue and trans. blue 1x1 round plates and trans. 1x1 plates.) [12:25:43 PM] Cirevam: whyyyy [12:25:59 PM] Cirevam: Do you plan on building the ocean? [12:26:48 PM] Alcom Isst: Well the volume of the Pacific Ocean is 714 million cubic kilometers. [12:27:14 PM] Alcom Isst: So what's the volume of a 1x1 round plate? How many would it take to fill an ocean? [12:53:29 PM] Will Kirkby: you'd have to take into account the fact that they don't tesselate perfectly [12:54:54 PM] Will Kirkby: there's "how many 1x1 round plates would match the volume of the pacific" [12:55:18 PM] Will Kirkby: and "if we drained the pacific, how many 1x1 plates would it take to fill it back up from a practical standpoint" [12:55:23 PM] Will Kirkby: which would be different values [1:00:08 PM] Alcom Isst: What would be the effect of all that pressure? Would the bricks on the bottom collapse? [1:00:56 PM] Will Kirkby: most likely [3:08:52 PM | Edited 3:16:15 PM] professorbrickkeeper: It becomes LEGO.JAM

[12:33:18 PM] jamesster: kinda [12:33:23 PM] jamesster: we're sharing a room with ants [12:33:30 PM] jamesster: a lot of them [12:33:37 PM] jamesster: I think there's rice in the walls

[4:03:49 AM] Zephyria: He’s a tryhard. [4:03:51 AM] Zephyria: Much like Sadie. [4:27:02 AM] Sadie: [saturday, November 23, 2013 4:41 PM] Ramius Antillies: <<< Zeph, you just love sitting on your pedestal, don't you? [4:29:58 AM] Zephyria: Well It’s true

I'm sorry Alcom, but the best line in that was this.

You know, sometimes you have to record the worst moments as an example piece. Zephyria MFW Seaborgium can't tell when I'm talking about the title of something, and this tries to appear smart, but just f****ing fails. I absolutely "love" our new members. Ben24x7 Well, I can certainly "not" understand th... ...Wait, what... ...Oh, darn it. Shadowblaze MFW Ben posts a comment but he doesn't know what to write so he just types senseless stuff. Quisoves Pugnat Beg pardon? Seaborgium @Zephyria: What does "MFW" stand for? Shadowblaze "My Face When". I searched on Google. Seaborgium No wait. It isn't even about the Latin, is it? It's about that whole "Prepare to Die" thing, isn't it? So you have publicly declared me a disgusting human being because I failed to get your little reference and made a little joke about it. I am a horrible person who must be publicly derided, because of that? Seriously Alcom1 Yes seriously. This is a serious issue. There are conflicts between the crowd of newer members and the old Veterans-of-forum-Life that should be fixed. Otherwise we are going to have more outbursts like this. Alcom1 Also, you appear to have been labeled a 'nuisance' and not a 'disgusting human being'. Zephyria's comment is of no threat to you. Just tank it and post with finesse. Quisoves Pugnat @Alcom While I agree that he's probably best to ignore the insult, I don't think that it can be written off as a conflict between a newer member and a forum-veteran. It's a matter of charity, or a lack thereof. If you don't respect someone when he's new, you're not going to truly respect him simply because he's spent more time here. TheDoctor My drama. Quisoves Pugnat Don't get me wrong, I understand that in any community, there will always be a certain tension between newcomers and old-timers. But there are some things that time alone cannot not change and that tension cannot be blamed for. If you prick a newbie, will he not bleed? TheDoctor I harbor great contempt for a large numbers of active members, but I simply do not involve myself. I have no interest in their matters and have a much nicer time only replying to that which hold any appreciable interest in. Seaborgium @Alcom: I see that there is a rift. However this conflict between "veterans" and newbies is simply immature and pointless. If what you say, Alcom, is correct(which it probably is) this isn't a response to an offense, it's simply a pretense to vent out general anger against newcomers. It's certainly not mature and does not lead to healthy forums or making friends. Seaborgium I have dealt with people whose sense of humor befuddles me. When I saw some of your posts on the LU Gallery, I was under the impression that you were a pretentious person. At some point I realized that this was your sense of humor and that you meant no wrong, and are in fact a decent person. If I had decided to make angry comments at the time, and I am glad I didn't, because you and I would likely be enemies. This kind of behavior is bad for the whole community and doesn't just seem e... Seaborgium xcusable as 'vets vs. newbies'. Sadie Meowsalot @Zeph: MFW you're being a d*** to people @Ben24x7: you aren't funny @TheDoctor: and that's why you always feel bitter @Seaborgium: you. You live up to your name in instability. stop it. @Alcom: "alcom... I like you" - Lair

My reaction: - - - - - - - It's the Babelfish. Oh dear. I can't believe I made that mistake. ( ) But have you ever played Infocom's "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Game"? It's got the opposite problem of most licensed games. Instead of biggybacking on its source material, Douglas Adams himself helped design, and make it special, unique, and quite often frustrating. It's one of those few games where you punch the air if you just manage to make it down the stairs(in the game) without dieing. Of course, this was in the eighties, when new platforms weren't coming out left and right, so instead of what we do nowadays, which is pretty much make the same kind of game(first-person-shooters) with better graphics and sound as soon as a shiny new platform comes out, people actually made progressively more complex, interesting, in depth, and captivating games for about a decade. Then DOOM came along, people stopped making games for the Apple II, and things went down hill from there. I've heard Zelda kind of picked things up when it came along, but games in general are more handholdy, plotless, challengeless, and unengaging, than they were in the eighties, which is why you could have games which were quite hard, and people would still play them, and enjoy them.

Its early and it a double post, but I'm going to be unable to access the internet until Tuesday, so deal with it. I haven't had time to prepare a mask, hopefully i'll post one mid-week next week, but in the meantime I have some Easter-y (as in commercialized Easter) recolors of my favorite masks. Enjoy They were all recolored into red, blue, yellow, and green only. Disclaimer: We are not responsible for any eye or mental damage caused by these masks. Any other damage caused by them shouldn't be able to happen anyway, so we are not responsible for it. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
