Ambient breakbeat music with lots of unusual sounds and structural elements! Have fun.

The world must know of this. It's like... well it's fairly unique, but it seems to be taking some cues from Little Nemo (or one of its contemporaries) and perhaps Rocky & Bullwinkle, but filtered through a misforged lens that's been cracked as much as it can without breaking. For reference: Captain Indigo LEGO Dimensions-pack or bust! oh and an ideas project would be nice too

They've been doing the new character spots for the summer sets, which of course are the first look at the new episodes. In a surprising turn of events, Ekimu's just flat out shows us the Mask of Ultimate Power. Check it out! I uh. I think they may not have actually finished the design yet. and they couldn't just cover it in shadow like they did last year because?????? EDIT: Also, I want to give Journey to One a fair time. I really do. But compare these two shots. They're the exact same scene. Webisodes Journey to One I don't know. The first one has a sense of motion and its dynamic and energetic and dramatic and just. the second one. why is ekimu blocking our view of makuta? why is makuta kind of just standing there? why is his armor clipping through itself? why is there no flow or movement to the image? The background and models are nice! I wish I could say they were being put to better use. I don't know. I hate to be a negative nancy but from where I'm sitting it's just really, really hard to call this series an evolutionary step forward from last year's stuff. I guess it doesn't have to be. Sometimes things just are what they are, and that's okay!

Getting a bit of a Steven Universe vibe from this.

Some googling shows it's disney channel. Thus, I have no way to watch it, even if I watched TV more than a few times a month.

Hello Rock Raiders United! I was so happy to discover that the loading times were fixed, so I whipped up a program to easily apply these patches. I just love seeing old games get fixed like this. Download, instructions, and source are found here: https://github.com/JeffRuLz/LEGO-Island-2-Patcher

thanks for the condescension lmao, now I really regret ever trusting you guys. you guys made ninjabread man. you've spent the last ten years making awful Wii shovelware, and now that's all your company is known for. do you really still not know what that word means? and I never once said anything about copying, I just used that as an example because it's the only game I know of that demonstrates my point, as it's similar to the large-tile layout of Rock Raiders (as opposed to the small blocks used in Minecraft) while having depth to the world like I was suggesting, allowing for water depth and physics, multi-layer cavers with huge mushrooms and flying creatures, etc. it was essentially the same sort of stuff Polaris or whoever said in one of your topics, just with an example of how that would work, with a game that makes it work well. ok ignoring the fact that I said "something like a 3D [version of]", only developers with a hard-on for the Nintendo 64 will tell you that. have you really not seen how many 2D games there are out there, both in layout and in graphical style? like, you know, the game I was using as an example, which you know a little about despite apparently being a step backwards that no one wants? have you seen how successful and popular some of them have been? just because most of the biggest video game companies keep pushing for more realistic graphics for their AAA console games, doesn't mean there isn't a market for other styles. but that's all irrelevant because that's not what I said. this is honestly the first I've heard of this. maybe if you guys didn't fall off the face of the earth... obviously not most of the people here are (or were when this stuff started out) in their teens and early twenties and have little or no experience. some people here have some good skill in those areas, a few looking for jobs there, but for the most part we're hobbyists and fans, or just starting out. because I have no faith in your company. the post I made directly above Xiron's post above yours should show why. I programmed hello world and super-basic choose your own adventure stuff back in high school. that is the extent of my knowledge of programming. I have a little experience modelling and drawing but I've become really rusty with both, and it was always pretty crap anyway. I don't have anything to offer you right now. come back in ten years and i might be more skilled in one of those things, but right now I'm basically a little above zero. and now you're starting to sound like a post from clients from hell, so I guess there's nothing else I can say. your company is the laughing stock of the game industry and you haven't done anything here to show that this will be different.

[9:09:20 AM] Hugh Wotmeigh: Why can't Tt combine games and fun for wider appeal?

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...

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.

Cyrem was confused about the supermarket chain Iceland. Timestamps are in BST. mumboking Today 12:01 AM: I eat a whole pizza every time I have pizza. mumboking Today 12:02 AM: http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/iceland-deep-pan-double-pepperoni-pizza-385g/p/57960 AaronBurner05 Today 12:07 AM: That's the best looking frozen pizza I've ever seen (unless the package is misleading of course) mumboking Today 12:34 AM: It actually does look pretty much like that. Cyrem Today 12:38 AM: Does Iceland only have 1 grocery store? mumboking Today 12:46 AM: @Cyrem There are more than one Iceland stores, if that's what you're asking... mumboking Today 12:49 AM: That wasn't worded correctly... Oh well... AaronBurner05 Today 12:49 AM: AaronBurner05 Today 12:49 AM: Cyrem Today 2:28 AM: @mumboking so the store is called Iceland? AaronBurner05 Today 2:30 AM: @Cyrem yes AaronBurner05 Today 2:30 AM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_(supermarket) mumboking Today 2:59 AM: @Cyrem What @AaronBurner05 said. Here's the Wikipedia link again: mumboking Today 2:59 AM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_(supermarket) AaronBurner05 Today 3:00 AM: It would be silly if you were actually buying frozen food from another Country Cyrem Today 3:01 AM: I thought they'd have more stores in Iceland mumboking Today 3:01 AM: Well... mumboking Today 3:01 AM: They're not from Iceland. mumboking Today 3:02 AM: "a British supermarket chain" Cyrem Today 3:03 AM: I should open a supermarket chain in Britain mumboking Today 3:03 AM: Called what? Cyrem Today 3:03 AM: "Australia" AaronBurner05 Today 3:03 AM: IK mumboking Today 3:03 AM: That doesn't make sense. mumboking Today 3:04 AM: At least Iceland is Ice land. Frozen food. mumboking Today 3:04 AM: I believe they've had Kangaroo burgers in there some times. Cyrem Today 3:04 AM: Iceland is written the same as Iceland (the store) Cyrem Today 3:05 AM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland mumboking Today 3:05 AM: Ah... mumboking Today 3:05 AM: http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/kezie-2-kangaroo-burgers-220g/p/57591 Cyrem Today 3:05 AM: Cyrem Today 3:05 AM: Iceland is stealing our kangaroo's mumboking Today 3:06 AM: How about some crocodile burgers? mumboking Today 3:06 AM: http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/kezie-2-crocodile-burgers-220g/p/57590 mumboking Today 3:07 AM: Or even ostrich? mumboking Today 3:07 AM: http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/kezie-2-ostrich-burgers-240g/p/57596 mumboking Today 3:07 AM: http://groceries.iceland.co.uk/kezie-2-ostrich-fillets-250g/p/61124 AaronBurner05 Today 3:07 AM: good god Cyrem Today 3:07 AM: Cyrem Today 3:08 AM: actually I saw crocodile jerky the other week Cyrem Today 3:08 AM: I didn't buy it, but I imagine you need metal teeth to eat it mumboking Today 3:08 AM: I have not had and will not have any of those. Cyrem Today 3:08 AM: kangaroo is actually not bad Cyrem Today 3:09 AM: much like beef actually Cyrem Today 3:09 AM: slightly different flavour though Cyrem Today 3:09 AM: but if you didn't know it was, you'd probably eat it thinking it was beef mumboking Today 3:10 AM: mumboking Today 3:10 AM: Nuu. Cyrem Today 3:10 AM: eat him Cyrem Today 3:10 AM: EAT. HIM mumboking Today 3:10 AM: mumboking Today 3:11 AM: Cyrem Today 3:11 AM: But don't eat him. There was also this: Red60 Today 12:39 AM: did you broke the avatar transparency, cyrem Red60 Today 12:40 AM: *? Cyrem Today 12:40 AM: yes, i wanted to ruin your fun. Red60 Today 12:40 AM: well it worked Cyrem Today 12:40 AM: haha Red60 Today 12:41 AM: you done went and ruined my fun Cyrem Today 12:41 AM: my work here is done Cyrem Today 12:42 AM: i'll change it in the next update

[10:13:06 PM] Pranciblad: my mating call is the sound of a dial-up modem

i'm just laughing so damn hard at sonic my god this is the world we live in now if you'll excuse me imma go follow the sonic twitter and just wait

Just in case you're too lazy to read the whole press release, here's all the franchises that are gonna be in year two: Sonic the Hedgehog The Goonies Teen Titans Go Fantastic Beasts Harry Potter Mission Impossible E.T. Gremlins Beetlejuice LEGO City Undercover (!) The LEGO Batman Movie Adventure Time A-Team Powerpuff Girls Knight Rider Ghostbusters 2016 Combined with the IPs already in the game, that's 30 different franchises in one single game. 30. What even is this game any more. As a bonus, here's some key art for this new wave: There's a ton of new things on here, so I'm gonna go and list 'em all off at once: City Police helicopter in the left-hand corner, probably the build for the LC:U pack Raven from TTG to the left of the lego logo, with a somewhat interesting face (as in it's hilariously derped and oh boy that's gonna be the actual face isn't it) Pirate ship just above the last N in Dimensions, looks like the one from the Goonies. The Sonic art to the right of the Pirate ship is pretty damn neat. Just sayin'. Green evil gremlin in the top right corner is completely new and looks hella creepy. Just below sonic on the right-hand side, is that the Tornado? ET's eyes are much, much bigger here compared to in the trailer from earlier. What happened there? So yeah, I'm pretty damn stoked for all of this. Like seriously, this is amazing in every single way and I literally cannot wait. HYPE TRAIN CHOO CHOO.

Thankies. Before anyone gets major on Ben's back. I did say in the Sbox that it would be nice if someone posted. I was not thinking that kind of post he did though. I think you mean quadruple post though. mumboking picks up ringing phone. Xiron: Hello Mr. mumbo. This is Xiron's Portable Services. Your car is ready. You can come and pick it up at the garage anytime. mumboking: Great! Thanks. I'll be there shortly. Xiron: You're welcome. Thanks for choosing Xiron's Portable Services. You have yourself a great day. *conversation end* This was the longest I ever took for a model. It was ripped from LEGO Racers 2. There was a lot of pieces to apply textures to, and I had to due a bit of a guessing game with some look-a-like materials. I didn't rip it from LI2 because 1) Ninja Ripper doesn't work with it. (No, outdated 3D Ripper DX is not comparable with the program) 2) The msh2obj converter we have doesn't preserve UVW Mapping
