I could be wearing a quiff and a pink raincoat and you'd know who I am due to my sideburns.

This is for all those people out there who didn't manage to either arrive in time or didn't have a chance to celebrate the 6th Anniversary of Rock Raiders United. So for those who want an explanation of what happened here it is in a nutshell: 1. When there was only two minutes left people counted down the minutes 2. When it came around to 3 'o clock the ShoutBox was filled with colourful balls like this: 3. The colourful balls and flashy balls began to become spammed 4. Shout Box broke and wouldn't Refresh 5. Cyrem posting a Status Update entitled "I think we broke the shoutbox" 6. Cyrem's Status Update got lots of replies 7. Shout Box fixed 8. Colourful balls, Flashy Balls, and s got spammed 9. The sentence ABALLSLIDEHASOCCURRED became secure 10. The Shout Box was spammed with ABALLSLIDEHASOCCURREDABALLSLIDEHASOCCURRED-- etc thus stretching the Shout Box far off the side of RRU's Home page 11. Stretched Shout Box became not-so Stretched Shout Box 12. There came the story about how Flashy Balls were created (Link to quoted story here: http://www.rockraidersunited.org/topic/5326-rru-quotes-2-reckoning/page-16#entry104763) 13. The Anniversary ended 14. No one got rewarded... 15. ...yet. Thats the 6th Anniversary in a Nutshell.

lol that. If you do it like the old one, a complete free-for-all primarily consisting of of one-offs or whatever anybody cares to do, I'd do stuff for it. Tons of ideas. Just don't take it seriously, like you seem to be doing in the OP. Attempting to create a very formal and structured "RRU Webcomic" is like showing up at a pizza party wearing a tuxedo. You'd probably just get food poisoning and puke on your tie.

You can find this by clicking through a few pages of the thread Jamesster linked to, but I'll display the full image here for convenience. Overall, I like this series. The Genie Girl, Space Miner, and Spooky Girl are the ones I'll probably go out of my way to get. The rest are overall pretty nice. Pizza Guy has a new pizza print, and the Rock Star looks pretty good, even if he reuses the Rocker Girl hair. The Hun's hat really shouldn't have horns, though.

I AM SHOUTING AT YOU BECAUSE YOU SAID TO SHOUT IF YOU WANNA BE A PART OF THIS.

I've been working on this for some time in the background for a while and I've only mentioned it on the Shoutbox recently, but now it's time for me to finally reveal this and ask for some feedback. Basically, my idea is to run a webcomic based around the members of RRU on the 'LMS Observer' trying to get back to earth in one piece. However, instead of me doing every single strip on my own and doing everything, my idea was to have various members do some of the strips, and instead of them trying to do each comic in my own style (which is quite dodgy anyways) they will be allowed to do their strip in their own unique style, as long as the characters are recognizable and aren't completely different (for example, you could draw Cirevam in a manga style, but you can't give him a quiff or a pink raincoat, otherwise he wouldn't be recognisable as Cirevam). If you're interested in joining in please shout at me in a post below or send me a shouty PM. Before we even start with the actual webcomic though, each character that will be in the webcomic will need a Character Sheet. This is basically a drawing of them coupled with a description of their personality and some backstory if nessasary. This is so that when one of us is doing a strip and forgets what a certain character looks like or how they would react in a certain situation due to their personality. So far I've done two character drawings and thought up several descrptions, which I'll post later on when I have time. Also it may be worth noting that I probably won't be putting every single member of RRU to ever exist ever in the webcomic mainly because otherwise we'll get too many characters who are extremely similar to each other and keeping track of everyone would be a pain, so I'll probably limit the amount of characters to about 15 or 20. Anyway, What do you guys think about this? PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO SOME DRAWING FOR THIS: SOMESWEDISH BEN24x7 CHARACTER DRAWINGS AND DESCRIPTIONS: Chief Cirevam: DESCRIPTION: After an unfortunate incident with the former Chief Cyrem and a rock monster, Cirevam was pushed up the ranks and was deemed a suitable new Chief for the LMS Observer. He is usually quite serious about his position, but occasionally he can be a bit more relaxed. For since reason he has never been seen without his infamous shades and sideburns, and asking for him to remove either of these key features will possibly get you ejected off the ship. Ayliffe: DESCRIPTION: As a member of a mining ship filled with high tech equipment and advanced computing software, you would expect everyone to be a computers expert, and nearly everyone on the LMS Observer is. Everyone except Ayliffe, that is. Him and technology simply don't get on at all, and even the simplest tasks such as sending an email can be the hardest thing in the universe. This may explain why he is the only member of the ship to still use a classic typewriter to send letters. **UPDATE** Sorry for the crudeness of this update, I'm on the mobile site so I can't really do much at the moment. Anyway, when I first set this up I was meant to put the first two character drawings and their descriptions in the OP, but in the end I completely forgot to do this, so I've put them in now. Also, I noticed that some people were very interested in doing some of the strips, so I've added a list of people who are interested in taking part in the OP too. I'm off to Paris for a week today, so I won't be able to scan any character drawings but I'll make sure I have several to upload when I get back!

Hey all. Well I finally started work on my next Technic aircraft, A B-25 Mitchell. It's going to be a similar size to my Technic Spitfire and mostly the same type of functions. The planned functions I have at the moment are: Both engines powered by a PF XL motor each. Working ailerons, elevator and rudder all controlled from the cockpit. Working Landing gear powered by a PF M motor. Working Landing flaps also powered by a PF M motor. Working turrets. I've so far built part of the left engine bay with the landing gear leg and the basic structure of the center of the main fuselage. First a couple of pictures of the engine bay: Next up is the section of main fuselage I've built so far: And thats everything for now. I'm not sure how long this MOC is going to take as I don't currently have all the pieces needed and affording them is going to be interesting to say the least but I will try and finish it before the end of the year hopefully.

I like to be known as RottenRuby. I joined on the 22nd and from what I have seen, this website is now a personal favourite. I am a fan of the LEGO Adventurers theme from 1998, which in my eyes is the greatest idea that LEGO ever had. Aside from LEGO, I am also a fan of Nintendo, which includes my favourite video game series, The Legend Of Zelda. I am relieved that there is a site dedicated to LEGO and their games as most of there hard work needs to be appreciated by other people. I hope that this place can feel like one of many of my homes and that the people here are as caring and hard-working too. Thank you!

|+| Flickr |+| MOCPages |+| This version of my self MOC is probably my favorite so far; he was really fun to build, but at times, he was a pain in the butt to build. I really struggled on the torso, aiming to stray from the Piraka torso that the previous iterations used. I also used the leg design from V3, which I think looks pretty nice.

Does your computer have an fn (function) button? If so, certain keys, the right-hand set of punctuation marks, I think, should double as numpad keys when the fn button is held down.

Hope so

Hooray, same thing next year?

I'm working on improving the overall biome textures, and so this will include my new biomes and the old ones alike. I'm also, in doing this, trying to rectify issues that existed in the old biomes and those introduced in my new ones, such as color issues and so on. Most of the problems were of my own causing, though, so I've been working on fixing them to the best of my ability, modeling a new, actually lego-ized wall support, using the models in the game for the energy crystal and ore seam textures, revamping the lava textures and rubble textures, and so on. This is just to make things blend together a bit more, and to improve the graphics quality overall. I hope you enjoy!

Face seems a bit too small, but other than that, great job!

Another set of characters for the Thu'll language has been completed! (sort of) This is the second level of Thu'll characters also known as Fur'Dae. I wanted to focus on making the characters and sounds more complex, yet keep the same flowing nature of the Dur'Dae (First set). The blotched out characters are ones I didn't like, and the ones that are still in pencil are ones that I'm still not sure about.

I'm decent enough at drawing, but I suck at blocking and perspective which kinda puts a damper on camic making. I could still give it a shot though.

Well, this ought to be, uh. Interesting, to say the least. I don't have an artistic bone in my body, but I'm interested to see where you're going with this. As for any advice, as Jamesster said, keeping it nonsensical is probably the best when dealing with these kinds of things.

I decided to redraw mr jedi dude cause i was really dissatisfied with my original picture. Sorry about the sloppy coloring, i kinda rushed it. I can touch it up later if it bothers me enough.

This might be interesting. Also, >my thread here could be a good reference for character designs.

Them topic tags I was watching wondering what the music was, then you said, quite fitting actually.

And i'll help you with that Studz. Really though, i'm not that excited about this. I'm more fond of the old stuff, from the Mata-nui arc to the Voya-nui arc (2001-2006ish)

Or, you could have changed the beige in the uniform to match the one of the character. Or, even better, you could have created a new COL that is the same shade of beige as the character, and then hex edited the hoodie model to have that new color instead of COL_BEIGE. Anyway, this is a really good skin! I really like it, makes me almost want to play the game with this. You could also do some scripting shenanigans and manage to throw this character in the game as a new NPC, with its own dialogue. I don't really know if it's possible or not, but that would be cool. Another thing is that you could make this character an AI racer. I would love to see that.

Paul Chuckle! Where's Barry?We don't give out links to downloads of full games here. Have you extracted your JAM file and copied the mod's files into the right place? The 1999 version is best for modding btw... You don't have to recompile the JAM. There is the requirement of having the disc always in your PC to play it though... I used unSafeDisc to remove that. (Find that yourself )

I slept in and missed the bus and no one even noticed I wasn't there All these reports of me in my lab are false, i was trying to catch up to the bus the entire time. The Berg sent me the wrong direction and then I ran into a bonus game vortex on accident and doc wouldn't let me leave until I picked up all his stupid weather balloons. I finally managed to take the helicopter to our base leading up to right now. So if u excuse me I'm going to go take a nap. O.T. Real reason i was gone=school
