Ok ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for part 3, where Stauder has a chat with our 2 previous guests. And yes, he did drool alot. Stauder: Woo! I get to chat with you two! I am not worthy! I am not worthy! uubergeek: lol Stauder: All right, lets get to work. Kaminoan: yeah Kaminoan: k Kaminoan: lol Stauder: Kaminoan, you say you have a Phd in Molecular Biology, why the hell are you making decals for figs Stauder: instead of destroying the planet with neutron ray firing laser prototypes? Kaminoan: lol, well I use to make furniture and carve things in wood. When I started grad school I didn't Kaminoan: have room for the larger tools Kaminoan: luckily LEGO came out with the Star Wars sets about that time and I wanted more aliens Kaminoan: so I started making figures and had fun with it Kaminoan: still got to "build" something Stauder: wait, decals and customs are your full time job? Kaminoan: Oh no Kaminoan: I work for the #1 cancer center hospital in the world doing research Kaminoan: decals, parts, and figures are merely my brain break from the "real" world Stauder: Ah, so you do put that molecular biology to good use. Kaminoan: yes, I still use that degree Kaminoan: I am just another example of an overeducated AFOL. There seems to be tons of us and my degree while Kaminoan: in biology is actually more like engineering Stauder: Uubergeek you there? uubergeek: i am indeed Stauder: Why is Uubergeek spelled with two "u"s? uubergeek: well... it's because i can never remember how to type a U with the two dots over it... Kaminoan: lol uubergeek: so the 2 u's made for an easy fix, and i found that i dont have many problems registering the name Stauder: Übergeek? uubergeek: yea, i cant do that... lol Stauder: Actually, I looked up "u" on wikipedia and found it :P uubergeek: yea, but as kaminoan can attest, i'm lazy about stuff like that Stauder: I wonder, why is it that we all love lego? Stauder: Lazy? And yet you have a ghostbusters costume... You sir I now my idol. uubergeek: well for me it because of all of the wonderful things you can create with your imagination Stauder: So, what do you guys think is the reason that we all love lego? uubergeek: yea, i do have a ghost busters costume, and anumber of others i'm also in the 501st legion Stauder: Can i get a signed photo of you? Kaminoan: lol, I think he compares himself to me, however I feel lazy alot when I look at friends of mine so . Kaminoan: I think it is all relative Kaminoan: For me it takes me back to my childhood. There is just something about the brick and the figures th uubergeek: from a minifig aspect, lego lets us remember childhood and action figures, and not be bound to just Kaminoan: that inspire the imagination uubergeek: what is produced by the company... we can make anything for them we want! Kaminoan: I assume you want one of Chris Stauder: That reminds me... Does anyone here like the smell of lego fresh out of the box? That reminds me, where are my lead based paint chips? Stauder: Yes. You are no stormtrooper. uubergeek: lol... i don't think i've honestly ever tried to smell it out of the box uubergeek: i have my own 501st trading card... i'll send ya one Kaminoan: No, no I am not Kaminoan: The smell of LEGO, I don't think I have honestly noticed the smell Kaminoan: I like the color and shine uubergeek: agreed, lego definatly has a better shine right out of the box... Stauder: But wait... Kaminoans make clones... Stauder: EB News has reached a new level of geeky awsomeness. uubergeek: lol.. he has you there Kaminoan, time to get some armor Kaminoan: well I make pretty much anything these days Kaminoan: lol, I think my wife would kill me Kaminoan: if I started another hobby Stauder: Ever consider model trains? uubergeek: i actually used build train layouts Kaminoan: well I have looked at the train stuff, and actually my wife kinda liked it for a bit, so I have a Stauder: Speaking of armor, can you tell us abit about it? Hey, no one limits EB News to lego do they :P uubergeek: but that was during my "dark ages" lol... got back to lego after that when the starwars line started Kaminoan: a couple of the Santa Fe Express engines, but just don't have the space for the layouts. Plus LEGO Kaminoan: can't keep a foundation for them uubergeek: Sure thing, if you are familiar with the 501st Legion, we are a worldwide starwars costuming and Stauder: Let me get this straight. You, Uubergeek, love lego, built train layouts, you are a member of the Stauder: 501st. Where can i buy one of you? uubergeek: charity organization, we all have movie accurate costumes (or from EU) uubergeek: lol.. well... Hasbro has made our figures now uubergeek: the armor itself is usually made from abs or styrene... pretty good stuff, and looks awesome! Kaminoan: You should get his boots in progress pictures. Quite creative Stauder: No, i meant where can I buy a Uubergeek? uubergeek: it was great, we were put into the books, then Episode 3, now even George Lucas isan honoray membee uubergeek: lol! still working on that one, we did have one member that was actually drawn into the comics uubergeek: and now has an action figure coming out... Kaminoan did a wonderful design of it for minifig as well Kaminoan: Where in Europe are you? Stauder: I have a question, can you see out of the helmets? And do each of you make your own armor? uubergeek: you can't see a thing in those helmets! lol.. actually it's not too bad depending on the helmets Stauder: Currently? I am in Central europe. uubergeek: on the armor, it's generally scuplted by a few people, then we indiviually put it together and such uubergeek: ahh, we have a holiday here in the states coming up next week ... and i leave for vacation tomorrow uubergeek: i want to get to Europe to visit Billund sometime! definatlly want to see Lego HQ Stauder: Enjoy. Kaminoan: Nice, I have been to Krakow and Prague, but it was ages ago. Back before it split into two conutrie Stauder: Before 93? Kaminoan: yeah it was 90 I believe, even before the wall came down in Germany. Kaminoan: beautiful countryies Kaminoan: Prague is one of my favorite European cities Stauder: Uubergeek you still there? uubergeek: yes i am uubergeek: people at work keep wanting me to do stuff... you'd think they would know i'm trying to not work! Stauder: Ahh yes... A Wally moment... Kaminoan: you just need to turn off the work computer and phone Stauder: What are your tougths on The Clone Wars, as you seem to be huge SW fans. uubergeek: I really like it, gives kids a chance to grow up with Star Wars, and gives us new goodies from lego! Kaminoan: Well I still haven't seen the film yet Kaminoan: My daughter was born on the Friday it was released here in the states. I do like the concept though uubergeek: lol... yea, we're working on getting him out more... :p Kaminoan: I just wish that LEGO would have done a better job on translating the faces into LEGO form. The eye Kaminoan: s are just too large Kaminoan: They scaled the rest of the design and in the cartoon they are long and thin, they didn't think of Kaminoan: this with the faces uubergeek: agreed wholeheartedly! they went way too anime'ish to me uubergeek: i'm not a big fan of the change in clone helmets either... i kinda like to stick to one style Kaminoan: It was nice to see them tackle the helmet accessories, pauldrons, waist capes, and even more cloth Stauder: Hmmm... Kaminoan: accessories, just wish they had done a bit better job on some of it Kaminoan: They have steadily been giving the minifig community a larger parts palette uubergeek: yep, i mean you look out there at some of the customizer that have made helmets and accesories, uubergeek: yoou'll find a lot of more accrute things out there but at least we are getting some new stuff uubergeek: accrute as in accurate, which obviously my spelling and typing skills are not Stauder: What THEME would you like to see TLC produce? Kaminoan: humm, tough call there uubergeek: Well, for me, i'd love to see more superheroes... Batman was a nice start, though not perfect... Stauder: *Insert witty comment here* uubergeek: but i'd love to see an entire DC lineup, or Justice League theme Kaminoan: I am a huge scifi fan, the problem with most themes is I think they would be a bit too violent Stauder: Star Trek movie is coming out next year I belive... Kaminoan: They seem to like vehicle based themes, which means to me, I would like to see something along the Kaminoan: lines of more historical uubergeek: Yea, i've heard good stuff about it as well... i think star trek could go over to Lego well, though uubergeek: i believe another block company has the rights Stauder: The bastards... can we get the 501st to raid their HQ? Kaminoan: brb uubergeek: i think a good vehicle theme could be Mask (old 80's cartoon)which would go along nicely with AGENTS Stauder: take your time uubergeek: i'll put in a call to that garrison for ya! Stauder: Mask? We talking about the wooden face sucking mask right? uubergeek: but overall, either a GOOD marvel or dc lineup of heroes, not just Batman would make me happy Kaminoan: no, it was kinda like Knight Rider if I recall uubergeek: lol.. no, not that one, the cartoon from the early 80s with the cars that transform into other stuff uubergeek: exactly, similar to night rider Stauder: Wrong mask? http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/rsz/434/x/...83/18816592.jpg Kaminoan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQdgbs0IUDg uubergeek: http://mask.running-gag.de/ Stauder: Don't ask me why I remember that from somwhere. uubergeek: hmmm... maybe we should do those Kaminon... lol Kaminoan: thougth that a video would jar your memory. It was puesdo transformers Kaminoan: meets Knight Rider Stauder: I see no real reason why I would remember a cartoon 8 years older than me. uubergeek: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=31184314 uubergeek: not much but someone did some mask stuff in lego Stauder: I am going to drag you guys back to the topic of the 501st, how did you become a member? Kaminoan: k, I am going to need to wrap this up shortly Kaminoan: Chris, that is all you Stauder: The above question was a last ditch attempt... Stauder: One last question on you Kaminoan! Am I annoying? uubergeek: Well, i went to a scifi con and met a bunch of stormtroopers, after getting back i knew i wanted to uubergeek: After joining the 501st and getting involved in charity work, you find it's very fulfilling and fun! Kaminoan: no, I suppose not, you just have a youthful exuberance Stauder: Aw come on, if you where 15, and you where talking to a great customizer and a stormie wouldnt you Stauder: have a youthful exuberance? uubergeek: lol.. Stauder: Same goes for you. Kaminoan: yup, that is what I said, an enthusiasm for a subject with a youthful vigor uubergeek: i'm always exuberant about lego and star wars.. uubergeek: which reminds me... i haven't finished the new designs to send to kaminoan yet... oops Stauder: What he doesn't know won't hurt him. uubergeek: lol... good point... though he got on me pretty hard for not finishing Ironman on time :p Stauder: You have strom-trooper armor don't you? Kaminoan: lol, I thought I was pretty easy going on that point uubergeek: but i've got about 10 new superhero designs i'm working on that i hope to get finished next week uubergeek: yea, you weren't too bad i suppose... could have been worse Stauder: This is getting interesting... Kaminoan: I think I have 4 or 5 of them already that I just need to add to the site, the ones where you morphe Kaminoan: some of my work uubergeek: true enough... then the other new projects we've been talking about ... uubergeek: i like to do that a lot... he makes such nice designs to reshape here and there for new characters! Stauder: You know all this is going to get published? I demand more leaked info! uubergeek: lol... well... unlike everyone else out there that steals his images, i have permission Hinckley: I am Hinckley! Hear me babble! Babble! Babble! Babble! uubergeek: there are a number of new designs in the works from me though... i've already put photos out of one Stauder: Shoe! Shoe! uubergeek: the new warmachine Stauder: Yes, I have seen it. It smells of awsome. Kaminoan: Hello Hinckley Kaminoan: Well it isn't really theft. I kinda taught Uubergeek to draw and he and I collaborate a lot. Plus Kaminoan: I don't have time to draw everything out there uubergeek: thanks basically ripped off my own ironman design on that one... and tweaked it uubergeek: so true... it all started when i was bothering him everyday about new stuff he needed to make... Stauder: It has no chaingun. uubergeek: he finally told me to just make it myself... and showed me how...lol uubergeek: yea, i havent added the accessories to warmachine yet... hard when you have no parts to work with uubergeek: but i have an idea of what i want, and will be on bricklink when i get back from vacation Kaminoan: I believe Chris is still working on that one uubergeek: would love to see some good community suggestions for him though! Stauder: By the way, is the stormie's torso here your design? Stauder: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2183/209120..._8fb116a805.jpg Kaminoan: I am trying to wrap up some custom work for Nannan and then get back to the drawing board for Thor. Kaminoan: I also have some other new designs in the work, but those are still under wraps Kaminoan: It looks like it, if it isn't it is likely one someone downloaded and altered of mine Stauder: In that case sorry for stealing it Found it on BS. uubergeek: lol.. that's what they all say :p Kaminoan: lol, no worries. I don't really mind people using my work, I just don't like it when they ... Kaminoan: claim it as their own, or try and sell it to make big proffits Stauder: NannanZ? Ahh yes... http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20222 That nut... uubergeek: it's fun sometimes going through ebay to see who all took his designs and are trying to sell them Kaminoan: This is why you can download all my art from my site for free, as long as it is for personal use uubergeek: Nannan has some AWESOME work, we got to see it first hand at brickworld... uubergeek: here we are all together http://www.flickr.com/photos/uubergeek/260...57605778068755/ Stauder: Read the interview for a giggle or two. 26 Aug 08, 22:14 Stauder: Yes, I saw that pic. Kaminoan: well we actually got to play with it and with Adam's huge buildings uubergeek: one of my favorite shots from that http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaminoan/2607...in/set-72157605 uubergeek: and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaminoan/2607...57605789341994/ Stauder: That IronMan pic reminds me, your IronMan was featured on Gizmodo a while ago uubergeek: it was, i was pretty excited about that too! they got some of the details wrong, but cool anyways uubergeek: Ironman was a 3 way collaborative effort really! i did all of the design, but Kaminoan uubergeek: and brickmodder have to have 1/2 the credit for it to make it waht is is now! Stauder: Nice work guys. Kaminoan: Well I had the easy job. I got to critize and print it out. uubergeek: well... you also were the one that made brickmodder stick 7 lights in it rather than 2... lol Kaminoan: oh and poke fun at Rob, you are right uubergeek: err... 5 not 7... Stauder: Be modest again and all your text will be published in pink. uubergeek: yea, and that you did... lol... Kaminoan: lol Stauder: I was talking to you Kaminoan.

Kaminoan: lol, I really did have the easy job in that joint.

Congratulations to the Winners. It should be noted, by the way, that at least 100 old inactive accounts where used during this raffle... Interesing way to raise activity on EB... Stauder.

This.. is interesting... Stauder.

Subtle as a shipwreck? That would be the work of the Illustious Mister Phes... I think... Stauder.

Amen. Stauder.

Something I forgot to mention is that great review Mod the robot? Why? You should see the interior! Stauder.

Wow, a huge lot. Too bad you have to get rid of it SuvieD, Congartulations to the lucky dog who gives them a nice home! I would like to ask why you are getting rid of so many of them... Stauder.

Don't expect me to interview everyone. You may think it is a easy job, but is is quite hard, from the standpoint of the Guest as well as from the view of the EB News team, nowadays I do most of the work. A chat interview itself takes about 2 to 3 hours. Also, the guest has alot of writing to do. Not to mention I editing, reading everything, making sure it makes sense, checking if the jokes are funny, all in all it takes a long time. After school starts again for me, EB News will go back to a weekly preformance, if not a bi-montly preformance. Stauder.

They are clickable thumbnails, nude brain... Stauder.

As you said, he has printing on the back, if you look closley you wil lsee a tank printed on his back with "Oxygen" written on it. Stauder.

I was hoping for Shaak Ti falling into the Sarlacc to be honest Nice Bingette (a vingette is on a 8x8 plate), rather empty, but what is there is nice, especially the trooper crashing trough the pillar.

Yes, Kaminoan has a store here. A word from our sponsors. Pop a Poppler in your mouth, When you come to Fishy Joe's, What they're made of is a mystery, Where they come from, no one knows. You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em, You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em, And if you promise not to sue us, You can shove one up your nose. What? You see the same TV commercials on all the time... Yes, but we can change the channel... Not like we for-yup, you are trapped here. No exits here. Yup Stuck in EB-TV. I can't take this anymore! *BANG* Did he just shoot himself with a banana?

Yes we-HEY I am the script-writer! A lazy one at that... Or do I forget to send you the interviews? Q. Why the name Uubergeek? I know that there are two "u" because you can't write
