Congratulations, you've saved the aliens from the asteroid! Unfortunately, not everybody made it out in one piece, but hey, alien technology works wonders! Or it's a glitch. Whatever.

I went to the LEGO Store in Bluewater today. I didn't get anything apart from LEGO Club Magazine Issue 2 2014, a catalog thing, a leaflet... and a LEGO Yoda poster signed by LEGO Star Wars Designer, Kurt Kristiansen. I didn't know he was going to be there. He had a stack of them there that he was signing. Click to enlarge: I don't have a picture of the poster... Stupid thing, I want the pics in a 3x2 grid...

I made a thing I was playing with the minifig air tank/jetpack piece, trying to make a model with them and this is what happened. So yeah.

I just might rename him to that next time I play. I took the cowboy: Recolored the hat, switched to plain black legs, and used one of the staff guy's torsos (forgot which one) as a decent stand-in for Johnny's torso. Tada! Oh, and this is the crappy looking Wii port. The 360/PS3 version looks much better. I'm not really sure why this game exists, but I do like the art style. It also gets bonus points from me for including constant throwbacks to retro minifigures. And yeah, it introduced me to some catchy music. It's kinda like Soccer Mania, it doesn't have much to do with LEGO as a game, but for what it is, it's done fairly well. I'm not sure why it's been mostly ignored.

Is that Blonny Blunder?

My name is what will make?

Pretty much exactly the same. You were saying?

"We have always been at war with Eastasia.", after 35 bing translations becomes "... Transformer." Ok. Well that was interesting.

Most of the initial version."

In the ae file of any building in LRR, you'll find "Shape" followed by a sequence of numbers. The only exception is the E-Fence and GunStation (which has Shape commented out). Shape represents the area that a building will take up within a cavern. Shape uses coordinates that represent each tile in reference to what tile the mouse is over. Therefore, 0,0 is understood as the coordinates where the mouse is pointing to. This is also the center location of the building's lwo. That said, 0,0 is an understood coordinate for the Shape. Adding 0,0 to the coordinates can cause crashing. Step 1, deciding what type of tile you want. There are blue, green, and yellow tiles. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to make the blue tiles; it might have to do with the entrance/deposit nulls. So for now, lets work with green and yellow. Green tiles have single coordinates, e.g. 0,-1 or 0,-2 would both be green. Yellow tiles have dual/duplicate coordinates, e.g. 0,-1:0,-1 or 0,-2:0,-2. Step 2, deciding where you want your tiles. For example, we'll make the super teleport's Shape (without looking at the code). 0,0 is understood as the default starting coordinate, this will always be a green tile. 0,-1, this is one tile to the left of the starting coordinate and is green (coordinates are in -y,x format, yes it's weird) 1,0:1,0 this is yellow tile directly below or directly in front of the super teleport's main tile 1,-1:1,-1 this is also a yellow tile down and to the left of the center tile. Step 3, writing the code properly. All coordinates must be separated by colons and have absolutely no spaces! They also must be written in descending order! Remember y's are negative (-y,x format), so descending order is 0, 1, 2, 3, etc, x's are positive and therefore descend 0, -1, -2, -3, etc. So the above code for the super teleport is 0,1:1,0:1,0:1,-1:1,-1. Again, this isn't finished. I haven't figured out the blue tiles yet. Negative values for y and positive values for x tend to cause crashing. Using 0,0 also causes crashing. I hope this enlightens people a bit, and maybe someone else will figure out the blue tiles. :D

I said that its existence doesn't make sense, but it does a fairly good job of existing. I then said that I'm not sure why people ignore it when they don't ignore other weird LEGO games like Soccer/Football Mania or LEGO Chess. It's just another LEGO tie-in to a game genre LEGO doesn't usually have much to do with outside of novelty sets (though Soccer was a bit more pronounced and revived briefly in 2006). The results can be amusing, they might spew out an interesting combo of a few parts that you can modify further into an actually cool minifigure, and sometimes they can make a pretty cool minifigure right off the bat.

... Huh? Are you unaware of this game's existence or something? If so: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lego_Rock_Band

What is it?

Here ya go, hope you like it

It does that sometimes. (and got "Sometimes it is. I don't know, what causes it?" (Yes, it petered out at about line 15 so it couldn't go too far)) And THAT got (In fact 2 or 3 times (por ejemplo, c est UN de esperar que creo es Nebraska 15 pregnant, drink, Carl)). Pregnant drinks?

Those Arctic ones; they mmake me want to play Lego Racers 2 http://youtu.be/HpE3OHxZfzM

2014 is turning out to be a good year to be a LEGO fan, and a horrible year to be poor. My wallet can't take anymore.
