Greetings, and welcome to the inaugural entry in what is certain to be an edifying and scintillating program. I suppose you're wondering why I've called you all here tonight. The reason, good sirs and madams, is birds. A most vital and compelling matter, as you can no doubt see. Neither of these things is a bird, and yet they're nearer birds than any non-avians alive today. Whatever one might say about archosaurs (and there's a lot to say) they were no slouches. Not content to have produced the first vertebrates adapted to flight, they opted for an encore, conducting themselves with no small amount of style. Stick this in your fancy sails, synapsid freaks! There was a lot of tweaking over the eons, but eventually the familiar form emerged: Sans tail, sans claws, sans snout. Aerodynamism incarnate. Still, it was not so definitive an avian that it overpowered its beakless-breathren. Rather, it coexisted with all manner of feathered beauties. Look ma, no wings! Alas, the cosmos is a cruel mistress, for the age of reptiles was coming to an end. Between the Chixalub asteroid and the Deccan Traps, Aves, birds as we know them, watched their dinosaur brethren vanish from the Earth, in what was not even the worst mass-extinction to date. While those puny mammals were getting their act together, Aves was flourishing, getting up to all manner of outrageous hi-jinks Flight! What is it good for? It should be noted that while no other dinosaurs escaped, there was another lineage of archosaurs that survived.... And while it was those pesky hominids that ultimately reached sapience, one can hardly deny the impressive cognitive faculties of certain birds... Not bad for a lineage that lost its hands millions of years ago! In conclusion... Well.... What was the point of all this? Oh! I know! BIRBS!

@Hallfiry recently posted a bunch of stuff in the Project Island discord server (relevant topic), including a bunch of marketing schedules for various LEGO games. One of them was The Legend of Mata Nui, which Peri noticed mentioned a promotion in a magazine called Maus Klick: http://www.kultboy.com/Maus-Klick-Zeitschrift/335/ I took a poke through that gallery of covers, and found some other LEGO stuff: http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6090/ Rock Raiders (Maybe just a sticker?) http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6098/ Some mention of LEGO Roboriders (set giveaway/contest?) http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6102/ Droid Developer Kit http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6107/ Bionicle (Potentially The Legend of Mata Nui given the timing of issue? Or maybe just Bionicle in general... But maybe including TLoMN stuff?) http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6113/ More Bionicle (Just a freebie trading card?) http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6118/ General LEGO set stuff? Didn't bother to translate lol http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6119/ LEGO Football Mania http://www.kultboy.com/magazin/6135/ Moooore Bionicle Dunno if there's full scans of this stuff anywhere out there. Just mentioning it here for anyone who might be interested in it and might wanna look into it further. Edit: [1:17 PM] Hallfiry: I've got some droid related stuff too [1:18 PM] Hallfiry: maus klick is for a pretty low age group with a nerdy connotation, which is why they ran lego stuff [1:20 PM] Hallfiry: as I noted there at kultboy back in 2012 (when you scroll down on the Maus Klick page), Maus Klick was sort of a successor to Ehapa's previous magazine Fun Online, so we might have a chance of finding lego stuff in those mags (which are available on http://www.kultmags.com/)

(Psst, since it hasn't been mentioned here yet, the uploader is a member here: @Hallfiry. I expect he'll probably be posting in this topic later, himself.)

Try running the game with the -alphatrans exe parameter. (Create a shortcut to the exe, right click it, go to properties, and add -alphatrans to the end of the target path.) You can also add other parameters like -novideo to skip past the unskippable LEGO Media intro and whatnot:

Very cool to see that at some point the Infomaniac would have been a playable character (assuming his player model isn't just a placeholder you're not supposed to see with the in-game camera).

Just so you know, that Dark Souls Re-bricked also has videos 2, 3 and 4 and I wouldn't be surprised if more came along. Even if you don't care about Dark Souls this is darn impressive building!
