Not sure if this information belongs here, but I just received scans from Per Sanderhage (writer of the 1987 Castle Kids and 1989 The Pirates comics) of an unpublished Pirates comic "The Island of Mist", only it's in Danish so it'll need to be translated to English. I'll upload scans and link to the Brickshelf folder as soon as I can and as soon as it becomes publiic.

As suggested by Xiron, there is now a teleporter built in the coordinate viewer. It can also save locations(+rotations) to a file for later teleportation.

Here you go. Happy 6th Anniversary! (Don't ask...)

Over the summer I have set myself a task, to learn how to use the Unity games engine. I'm doing this by making a mini-remake of Lego Rock Raiders. I'm doing this mainly for fun, and I'm not promising any significant outcome, but I thought I'd share my work anyway Guthub repository: github.com/eellams/RR2 VERY EARLY windows builds: here All the early builds really show is the map format - if you do download it, feel free to edit testmap.xml - any feedback would be much appreciated Images:

My apologies, I hadn't tested teleporting in byte-view and overlooked this. It is fixed now (v5.1).

Looks like you got more than the extra allocated hour in the ballpit, Drillmaster.

Arth, you made one error in your comic: you wrote 7.27 gigaflashes instead of 7.17 gigaflashes. :P

Oh boy, excellent. I'll get my Google translating skills ready.

Ooh, this will require some testing. Imagine a map that automatically opens a cavern full of lava when you pass some point.

[01:29:21] jamesster: will, did you ever finish reading self referential humor for dummies? [01:29:40] jamesster: lately I've been reading self deprecating humor for dickwads [01:29:59] Will Kirkby: I did [01:30:08] Will Kirkby: Say, can I borrow your copy of Brick Jokes for dummies?

I like this comic. It also inspired me to do the following sketch while playing Pictionary with someswedish.

This, sorta. I wouldn't have wanted it to stay on the original island any longer than it did, it would have bled it to death, but the other locations didn't interest me nearly as much, either.

Aww screw it, i'm jumping on the hype train I still like 2001-2006 better, but it'll be fun to see where this goes, and what the new sets look like. (if the Hype train doesn't crash and burn of corse)

Adding to jamesster's post, you can find most of the audio dramas in this YouTube playlist (although unless you speak German, they won't do much but provide something to read along to). It will never cease to amaze me how far LEGO developed so many projects that ultimately never came to anything. A film, a television series, and a video game? And this all predates project Darwin by several years! (and brings the tally of canned LEGO TV series to 4 or 5, depending on the fate of the Adventurers one). I hadn't realized LEGO Publishing was behind the Edward and Friends Fabuland TV show, although in retrospect it makes sense. I assumed the company petered out after the poor performance of Jim Spaceborn and Castle Kids. The Trapped in Space book is fascinating. The minifigs predate the first officially produced minifigs with faces not built around the classic smile by 13 years. All of this information on the development of both Jim Spaceborn and LEGO Publishing is wonderful to see. It's incredible that they were taking the possibility of stories with minifigs this seriously this early on. Thank you for your efforts in unearthing it all!

[04:02 PM] Alcom1: I need a new creation sharing site. MOC pages is stuck in the dark ages and only allows heavily compressed .jpg files, and Brickshelf doesn't allow me to move folders. [04:22 PM] legoislandftw: what about here? [04:31 PM] Alcom1: Rock Raiders United is too underground.

[5:26:45 PM] legoilsandftw: "rru is awesome." ...8 translations later, Bing gives us: "RRU is a family atmosphere." Bing is actually right for once...
