[11:35:50 PM] jamesster: lol [11:36:13 PM] jamesster: the graphics programmer went indie after LU shut down, and is friendly on twitter, we chat occasionally [11:36:27 PM] Cirevam: Wohoho, now that WAS interesting!

I don't know if anyone ever noticed this before, so here goes. LEGO apparently had a short-lived site about… well, just you guess. https://web.archive.org/web/19991008205911/http://press.legomedia.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://press.legomedia.com/news/* Unfortunately, a good deal of EVERYTHING is missing. So apparently, we could have had melting plastic (oh wait,) poisonous gas, freaking teleporter guns, dynamite as a weapon and actual vehicle repairs? What happened to that last bit? I hate deadlines. Oh well. And I don't except helmets to have worked too well. Too many polys. Full articles (In case the archive dies, which it won't) LEGO Racers Rock Raiders LEGOLAND There are also three missing articles, "LEGO Friends Software To Co-Launch With New Girl Band," "LEGO Media International to Unveil Four New Software Titles at E3," and "LEGO Media creates a hit for the girl's software market" (lol) I bet it's the same band mentioned in the game. (Or at least, the demo.) In addition to that, there were downloads, nearly all of which are gone, save for the LEGO and LEGO Media logos. https://web.archive.org/web/20001029072122/http://press.legomedia.com/downloads/lmi/legologo.tif https://web.archive.org/web/20001029073856/http://press.legomedia.com/downloads/lmi/lmilogo.tif The downloads page appears to have broken since I last visited. And why yes this is long overdue how did you know.

Sooo, I was listening to Pandora today, and this song, Keep Hope Alive by Crystal Method came on. As soon as it started into the tune (about 40 seconds in), I thought "Wait a minute, that's the Mars Mission song! Darn it 4T2, you ripped it off didn't you." Seriously, listen. They're uber similar. (I don't know how to embed the youtube videos into the post so use the links ) Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive (1997):

I am not Pascal. For sure, in fact I'll do it right now.

LEGO Universe devs had some clips of "Name of the Game" by The Crystal Method used as temporary music. It was never used in any publicly tested areas of the game, but it was found in a beta version's audio assets (along with a song ripped from the Little Big Planet OST). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A12-KN5UijA Years later, Funcom received a bunch of LU assets to aid in the development of LEGO Minifigures Online, and, well... This happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJBhExJmEbY

Hello everyone and welcome to my last track ever... this month. Hamony is an easy listening track for easy listeners who like easy listening, easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpMa0PK1jSE Hope you enjoy it! Remember, that I will no longer producing music anymore... this month.

[3:20:01 AM] Alcom Isst: You know those moments where the big bad wants to use a thing but the big bad's scientists that are working on the thing are all "Nooooo, it's not ready yet!", but the big bad is impatient and goes ahead and uses the thing anyways but the thing ends up having a flaw and the big bad fails because of it? That's like the opposite of Rockstar with Grand Theft Auto V. [4:06:54 AM] Alcom Isst: Do I look eldricht to you? [4:07:06 AM] /)¢( Krysto: is that a trick question?

[06:39:56] Will Kirkby: OOOOOOOOO [06:40:01] Will Kirkby: I COULD PUT THE IPHONE SMS TONE ON MY GAMEBOY [06:40:05] Will Kirkby: PLAY IT RANDOMLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SET [06:40:11] Will Kirkby: AND WATCH A BUNCHA IDIOTS CHECK THEIR PHONES [06:40:21] jamesster: I love you

Basically, your main objective is to kill Antillies.
