Hi EBers!
I like Valve's game Portal 2 a lot, and I found the video below, which I found so special, I wanted to share it with you.
You might need to know the story of Portal and Portal 2 in order to fully understand the video.
The video is a contest entry for the Valve Music Video Contest.
VALVe is holding a contest to see who can make the best music video for The National's song "Exile Vilify", written specifically for the Portal 2 sountrack.Post it to YouTube with the tag PORTAL2NATIONALEXILE to enter. The video can include more or less anything!
Some of the best entries (including the winners of the contest) can be found here: http://www.thinkwithportals.com/videocontest/
Enjoy!

Well, I consider the Emerald Night (#10194) a must-have and it isn't as expensive as either 7938 or 7939.
For a city I would recommend 7938 first, and if your budget is big, just buy all 3

@ blakeatron: Welcome to Eurobricks! In regards to your (expensive) new Unimog toy, just explain to your wife that you have to "have some fun" too. Reason with her -- would she rather you spend your money on Lego Technic, or go out drinking and carousing "on the town"? Given that choice, I'm sure she would rather see you at home where she can keep an eye on you building the Unimog all day long!
Haha that really made me laugh
@blakeatron: welcome to Eurobricks and have fun with the new sets
-
Done
I like that LEGO is listening to the fans! They should have events in more countries (not only USA, Denmark, Germany and UK).
-
I cannot view the image above, anyone experiences the same?
-
You're not correct. Both motors are connected to the same channel so using the switches will alter both of them.
Ah yes, then you would need an extra receiver...
-
So, the next question must be: Is it possible to get one of the motors to spin in the other direction?
You don't need anything else to get this to work.
If I am correct, you should simply change the position of one of the two small black switches on the controller.

If you compare RC to PF trains, the difference in functionality is only the horn (if you add the PF lights to your train).
PF has (in my opinion) a huge advantage on RC though; the ability to control up to 8 trains with one controller.
-
In the 2011 catalog, it states the Unimog will be released in October, so it has been delayed for two months?
Well, we'll just have to wait I guess...
-
Now what you need is a moterized dumptruck then you could go dig up the garden
So get the 8258 and modify it with a basket of some sort...
-
I own both sets you mentioned, and I prefer both for different reasons.
As for the aesthetics: I prefer 8285, since it just looks massive.
However, the model itself isn't robust at all (unlike 8258). It is possible to twist the frame several degrees.
Motorized functions are not a pro for me, and 8258 has an additional problem;
the batteries cant be replaced easily (without taking a piece of the model apart).
Both have cons and pros, but for me they all cancel each other out, so I rate both sets as very good (8,5/10).
-
I only have two trains so far, since I'm more of a Technic fanatic!
4565 cargo (9v) and 10194 emerald night, I plan on getting 10219 and/or 7938
-
I might be interested in this, depending on the price. (NL, Euro?)
-
The 9V extension cables you mentioned work fine, just like on any other motor (or Control Centre)
I would like to see your layout when it is finished
-
I am willing to help for moderating or indexing etc
-
I love these models :D
Any chance you could merge the instructions to PDF format? Would be appreciated!
-
Yes, actually both ZNAP and Technic share some pieces!
-
Sad to see cheaters again...
My vote probably goes to the BMW Z10
-
I would choose to use gray for the part that connects to the rim directly and black for the "liftarms" etc that connect to the chassis.
-
This looks really cool
especially the passenger cars.Have you thought about the possibility to change the grey parts to green (at the side of the loc)?
-
Next to my 8466, the 8297 is just... hm... tiny? Don't get we wrong, the model itself is good, but nothing compared to the 8466 which came at the same price.
That said, I like your modifications. The front looks a bit weird (especially the hood configuration), but you are getting there!
Just a question: why is the suspension connected in such way? The position in the front is differs from the position on the back!
Keep up the good work
-
it was mentioned in the other supercar thread that i should do 1 beam wide grey stripes, but unfortunately i didnt have the required red beams to do soIt looks good so far!
maybe you can get some red liftarms from Bricklink! -
Yes, but all the L shaped liftarms are used...
