i haven't looked at DDI's site in a long time and i completely forgot what an abomination it was. i was played like a fool. why would anyone ever trust someone with a site like this. i've seen grandma sites less disturbing and s***ty-looking. what idiots we were to have ever had hope for this. even now, the evil seed of what you have done germinates within you...

Terrev Today 2:08 PM *squints at chat and throws phone out window of van* Ringtail Today 2:08 PM get out of here while you can

god, looking back at this, it was such a s***-show. i had hoped that DDI had some self-awareness about how they were a shovelware machine, and at first it seemed like they did, but their concepts for this game showed more and more that nothing had changed and that rock raiders being as good as it was really was just a fluke. i mean seriously, a minecraft clone? god damn, if you're gonna rip off anything for a rock raiders game then make something like a 3D dwarf fortress, it'd essentially be exactly the same as the original LRR except that you could dig down through multiple layers and there'd be actual water and lava physics instead of them just being tiles. that's basically all the major changes i'd want in a rock raiders remake (besides better AI, easier modding, and more complexity in numbers, parts, and behavior of the various units, creatures, and ecosystems, but i'd assume that would be a given for a modern game - then again, with DDI, maybe not). but instead they decided to make a minecraft clone, and lift most of their "ideas" from the original game instead of trying to create their own stuff. and then just to top it all off, everyone from DDI falls off the face of the earth and we never hear from them again. i have more faith in someone here making the sort of game i want, even with all the remakes people have started making and then falling off the face of the earth themselves - it may take forever but at least they'd listen to feedback, and at least they've shown progress before disappearing. god.

oops. too late! After updating LW, I noticed that the Yeti's head was added to my customization menu. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear unless I'm wearing the whole costume.

Amen to that good sir.

tomfyhrToday 4:14 PM @Ringtail So you are discriminating persons with autrism? They are the people who take things with total literal sense. Just to clarify, I do not have autruism. WOW edit: noghiriToday 4:20 PM As someone with both autism and altruism, what on this sweet blue-green treeball is going on in this chat? tomfyhrToday 4:22 PM Bingo. A person with autism on the forum who has witnessed this chatroom. By stating that all persons who are taking things with literal sense are bots, you are essentially degrading persons such as noghiri, which is a form of harassment. Therefore, you have just broken one of the rules, which states you cannot hurt someone else. TerrevToday 4:22 PM wAT

I've been at the surface of Wii games modding, and I know that WiiScrubber can view and replace individual files in a Wii .iso. If the formats are the same as the PC, chances are you may be able to replace the files no problem. If it is on the unfortunate hand there is a possibility the file extensions and file types may be the same, but they may slightly differ to be optimized for the Wii since it is a totally different system of its own. One thing I'm not even sure of though is if we can even make custom models for the PC games yet.

dammit, we'll never get to play BLock Raiders 2 on our wiis and facebooks now

At this point we'd like to think not. Also, the more updated topic is right here:

Well, it's been quite a while since I've been active here, hasn't it? I actually do hate to be a bit of a self-promoter on my first post here in forever (I may try being active again if it's any consolation), but some of you probably know I did a small handful of Lego game walkthroughs on my channel, primarily my alt Humongous Fan Soundtracks. More recently I've been able to record footage off old computers rather than having to emulate them, so I thought I'd use the opportunity to capture Lego Island off an era-appropriate computer. I never had the latest and greatest until about 2005, where before then I was stuck with an old Pentium II that ran Windows 2000. However, this also worked in my favor, as I got to play Lego Island closer to how it was intended to play; see, the game has a lot of issues when played on modern computers, including but not limited to the incredibly sensitive turning controls, animations that are too fast (the shelf switches are the worst offenders), a nearly unplayable helicopter chase, and many others. Because a lot of these issues lead to confusion on many of the game's "problems", I thought I'd at least try to remedy that by making this video. It's a full walkthrough of Lego Island, played on the exact computer I used to play it on! Obviously not everyone is going to like the low frame rate (you spoiled kids...), but it's there to give a bit more accuracy to how the game originally played and clear up confusion on some of the issues people complain about. Why they never bothered patching the game in the 2001 and 2002 releases is honestly beyond me, but whatever. Enjoy! And if you want, here's my other walkthrough that I made a few years back as well more akin to how most of you are familiar with the game.

I think that the Rock Raiders community as a whole is definitely behind the idea, Mr. Stewart. It's just that there are quite a few conflicting ideas about how the game should be. There are a lot of subjective attributes, but also a lot of objective ones. It does seem that the fan base is not able to "make the game themselves". As a general rule, the members who have time don't have the talent, and the members who have talent don't have the time. You could count the number of people who have both talent and time on one hand, I'd say. Because of this, it would seem to me that the only way to get this project off the ground is to have a dedicated studio/game developer (someone like you, Mr. Stewart) with drive, dedication, and talent, do it themselves. Frequent progress updates would galvanize the community to give ideas and concepts of their own accord - but only if they can count on the game getting done. I totally agree with Polaris' point: "...just narrow the focus a wee bit and take McJobless' suggestion of not making this game for popularity." Oh. I guess it's McJobless' point too. The game appeals to a very, very niche group who, if the game lives up to the original, will love it to death. It just may not make a lot of money. Which again brings it back to you, Mr. Stewart. We can't, in all fairness, ask you (for our own sakes) to take on a project that will: 1. Take a good deal of time and serious commitment. 2. In all likelihood have a small financial return. Game making is your job. Everyone has the right to take on jobs that provide them with financial security and reasonable chances of popular success. You can't exactly say that about a Rock Raiders 2. Nobody wants to see you ruin your job just to try and make us a game. It's all, totally and absolutely, up to you. Thanks for all you've done.

Greetings from Texas. My (former) neighbors butchered a goat in their back yard. There is a donut shop on every corner. The local barber shop is filled with taxidermied animals, and the barbers have far more hair on their chins than they do their scalps. There are fire ants everywhere outside. Have you remembered the Alamo today?
