LEGO just posted this on their Facebook along with this picture... "Jinkies! LEGO Scooby-Doo coming this August!#LEGOScoobyDoo" Source: https://www.facebook.com/LEGO/photos/a.10150175674793403.303596.6665038402/10152696865598403/?type=1&theater Also there's this http://www.thebrickfan.com/first-look-at-lego-scooby-doo-mystery-mansion-75904/

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2015/01/23/scooby-doo-lego-exclusive-first-look/22206189/ Looks like they're based on the original cartoon (more or less)! That's a very big sandwich.

I'd also like to point out what MIGHT be obvious, but should be touched on... "Skull Grinder's" mask looks a lot like the silhouette we got with the North American LEGO Magazine pullout. I'm not sure if this will ACTUALLY be Makuta, but it's too soon to tell at this point. As for overall designs... Well, these new villains are all varied. Like, they're KIND OF humanoid, but very different from one another, unlike the Toa who just had fairly similar builds. I also wonder how these baddies will intertwine with the Lord of Skull Spiders. I'm almost 100% sure that the masks with the villains (other than the Mask of Creation) are all placeholders, and if I'm right then what would the masks be? I'd also like to show you guys some fan art I found of the 2015 Toa... But with a style like the old 2001 comic covers. I thought these were pretty well done! Source is HERE. EDIT: I'm using the latter image as my phone background. It looks surprisingly great.

I imagine that those are preliminaries. After all, the faces themselves (with the exception of Slicer, who uses a Skull Spider as a mask in his photo) are particularly blurred.

See, now, those sets look fantastic. You guys are too quick to get all negative about something.

And it looks like the leaks have once more commenced... Someone on the European social-networking site VK has linked preliminary pictures of the summer wave. Even keeping in mind the preliminary nature of these photos, I think it is safe to say that they are a radical departure from what has come before. Boneheads of Okoto, as it were. And speaking of bones, it looks like we're getting some new CCBS bone-pieces.

Gyrovity Here is a game i've been working on for mobile devices. The game is based around reaction and movement as you will find out if you try the demo. Screenie Controls Finger/Mouse [P] (Or tap the hole in the middle) = Pause What To Do Pretty much you just need to turn the ring with the hole on one side so that the dots can pass through to the center. If the 3 dots hit the ring, game over. Ring decreases in size repeatedly and the game gets faster until you can't keep up. Other The game goes through colour phases, there are only 3 at the moment but there will be more later. If you're wondering why the outest circle is flickering in size, its meant to add immersion when combined with the game's music (which there is no sound in this demo as I haven't got a license for the music yet). I have a few ideas for some different modes, one of them being 'Imposter' which spawns multiple, but one is fake and you have to collect the correct one. "Dual Rings" which as it sounds, you have to move two rings instead, "Rave" every dot changes the colour theme, at speed, should be difficult to concentrate, "Lander" the ring turns while you trigger the dots to move towards the ring and if your timing is right, you'll make it through . Menu is obviously not in the game at this time and I do intend to add leaderboard intergration. Downloads (Ignore version numbers) Android APK Windows EXE Enjoy?

This seems to have gone mostly under the radar... I don't see any proper press releases, just brief mentions in a couple of recent articles. http://events.newegg.com/ces2015/intels-realsense-technology-will-make-you-a-star/ http://www.mediamarkt.nl/mcs/shop/intel-realsense.html Ran through Google Translate it reads: http://www.fastcompany.com/3040223/when-it-clicks-it-clicks

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2015/01/23/scooby-doo-lego-exclusive-first-look/22206189/ ...That's a Mystery Machine. Good news nonetheless, but I think you slipped up a bit there!

Thats a really good idea, I think I will do that. EDIT: I believe I have found a name for it thats not taken, Gyrate.

[21:24:06] Hugh Wotmeigh: DANK MEMES

I enjoyed it as well. Also, is it bad that I could tell they were watching the Disney Channel in the background? Also also, is it bad that I could tell they were watching Dog with a Blog on the Disney Channel?

This thing has currently been viewed 6,132 times (plays are probably a bit lower than that as that's just counting page loads). Um. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhDJZY6Pvqw Um. Is it bad that I enjoyed watching some kid get increasingly pissed off at my game until he ragequit? Because I did enjoy that. (Majhost is still down, weee!)

[11:47:17 PM] Stan McStudz: In all seriousness though, I just sell it. And clean up after the bakers.
