this isn't from anybody in RRU but I thought it was funny enough and relevant to warrant posting here, also it's in relation to him viewing this thread: 8:29 PM - Dazz: the file name alone is worth reading the post 8:31 PM - _charon: commendations to the dev who realized "oh god we've made a mistake" and just made that model invisible without anyone noticing

Chapter 5 - Assembling the Build Alliance "A Perplexing Demonstration" Typhonus is a rather eccentric fellow, and his estate reflects this. This room houses some of his most eclectic artifacts, situated on pedestals in the back, which will be addressed from left to right. The first is a 2x4 brick from the Modulex line. Bricks at this scale were long considered a physical impossibility, and scientists have speculated that they may in fact be native to an adjacent reality. The second is the Kanohi Pakari Nuva, the Mask of Strength; this miniature version of the mask comes from one of those Bionicle Pen sets. Prior to this, I had experimented creating a body to fit this unique head size. There is a discrepancy between this depiction and the story, the latter of which says the Kanohi was a Miru. Unfortunately, these pens are really hard to come by, so I made do by decapitating Onua. It isn't quite visible, but Johnny Thunder's trademark fedora is right behind the blonde, suited fellow. For whatever reason Typhonus had decided to store it in his collection, either because of its historical significance, or he just likes to gloat. The fourth is a Znap connector, another obscure element which has mystified researchers for several zillenia. The last is...well. The prototype Imaginetic Spatial Distortion Array is held together by an Aeroblade from Ninjago. The bald, mustached fellow is molded after Arthur C. Clarke, a novelist remembered for, among other things, giving us Clarke's Laws. If you don't know what these laws are, google them and then re-read the chapter. It'll be about 35% more funny.

So I am currently in the process of updating my computer, and after the recent drama I figured a computer blorg would be fun. Several friends (Alcom, @noghiri, and an IRL friend) have helped me compile a computer parts list to make a long lasting and powerful computer (that can handle VR), with enough storage to last me for forever (or at least 'till I use up 3TBs) here's my final part list, if anyone wants to check it out. Linkage: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/BFCx6X I will be posting pics of the build here in this blorg once I receive them all as I am ordering all the parts today, and hopefully they will come within a week give or take. Edit: went with 16GB of RAM and a 1070 Gforce graphics card

...is good enough. Since I'm moving off to my college residence on Friday, I will need some decoration to liven up the place, which mostly consists of some of my more notable MOCs, such as the Pants Party, the Overweight Golem, and the impending Medieval Head Separator (don't ask). Inevitably in my studies, I will face tremendous mental and psychological stress due to academic pressure and social exposure. I have previously discussed Galidor in my graduation speech, which for some reason went entirely unchallenged by the staff and was surprisingly well received. You can read a transcript here. "only the best" is an anti-demotivational vignette, specially designed to combat sentiments of self-defeat and improve morale. Hence, whenever I find myself down, I can be assured that no matter how royally I screw up, it can't conceivably amount to anything worse than that abomination whose legacy still subtly taints the LEGO Brand: Galidor. Remember, kids, the only thing on this earth potentially worse than Galidor is bootleg Galidor.

BTW:

Since there was only a GBA map of LEGO Island already on the internet, I decided to piece segments together and create full-scale maps of the other locations. OGEL Island: Castle Island (credit to @Xiron for providing me a hacked save state) Space Port: Adventurers Island (not explorable, but this is displayed in between the minigames)

the only thing worse than normal galidor is bootleg mcdonald's galidor

BUMP Since @Sadie Meowsalot reminded me, I finally went in and ripped what I could of Castle Island. Unfortunately, it's blank in the spots I can't access.

god, I'll never look at lego island the same way again, and I was already in disbelief about some of the references in that game.

oh my god i've been wondering why you all kept repeating that testercall thing like i thought people found it funny cuz it was just a weird way of spelling the testlevels code that worked or something but i just now f****ing got it god damn it god damn it god damn it im so stupid

LRR with testercall AT with NoPrick.tga What other surprises lay dormant in other LEGO games?

wow EDIT:

I can give you access to the unreachable tomorrow.

I didn't know ace had two right hands. learn something new everyday

reminder, don't ever go into the waste of buying any new amd cpus, they've had very little to no progress with each iteration released

At least they didn't call it something like testercall.

[8/8/2016 11:23:56 PM] Alcom Isst: There's a straight parade? [8/8/2016 11:24:16 PM] Terrev: yeah, the checkout lanes at the local walmart

Chapter 4 - Albert's Abode "Albert's Abode" Albert's unassuming home is a relatively simple model; nevertheless, it was a very fun build with plentiful visual gags. Grass and flowers can be seen in the forefront, alluding to the "inexplicable" building ordinances requiring one wall be absent, a quality not unfamiliar to the buildings of the LEGO City line. The municipal government believes this open-air approach to housing encouraged community interaction and carried with it other societal benefits, such as economical government surveillance. Decades prior, criminals had attempted to gain entry to homes with intent to ransack via windows and doors to the front and side of houses, and almost immediately discovered this approach carried with it certain challenges; It could be very difficult to open them from the outside when their knobby little hands which couldn't work their way into the grooves. Others took an only slightly more pragmatic approach, opting to forcibly disassemble walls and the like, but this could cause quite a din and alert the entire neighborhood to the burglary. More recently, with the national enactment of these housing stipulations, one particularly bright young criminal mastermind, known by his surrogates only as "The Fourth Law-breaker," proposed something remarkable: instead of going a traditional route, prospective burglars might simply slip in undetected through the unobstructed back. In the next year alone, the crime rate septupled; violence and house-fires were on the rise as well, prompting municipalities across the country to commission new police buildings, fire stations, and the occasional underequipped hospital, bleeding dry funds for other expenses, such as parks, infrastructure, and economic development projects. "The Fourth Law-breaker" became very rich as a result of his discovery, enabling him to possess an influence over various authority structures, including the police department. The architects of the prisons built flaws into the cells, enabling allied parties easy escape from their captivity. Lawmakers figured it would be personally advantageous to look the other way meanwhile kicking the cylindrical tin container down the pavement. Thus the problem pervaded society: burglary on the rise, increased funding for new police and fire equipment without confronting the core issues, and an appalling underrepresentation of women in the workplace. ...oh sorry, there was a model, too? The terrier's "eyebrows" are the handlebar mustache accessory, and the tiles on the wall are supposed to represent letters from the cryptic "language" used in the Great Minifig Mission, creatively dubbed "Minifig"; the written form of which curiously resembles the faces of a six-sided dice, and contains a series of dot configurations which conveniently correspond to the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. The refrigerator (Fridge Logic) and lighting fixture (Lampshade Hanging) are an unapologetic nod to TVTropes, a serious ailment which conditions its victims to a perpetual cycle of link-clicking until your browser gets tired of all the tabs you've opened and will probably never get around to reading. And yes, my primary motivation for including the terrier was to give Typhonus a "Pet the Dog" moment. I...didn't plan to ramble on like that. Sort of had a fuzzy idea of that background in my head for a long time. Is that sort of commentary appreciated? Let me know in the comments. Or don't. I probably wouldn't.
