Stauder

Yeah, it appears to be like the sims, just better coz you can build what you want. Like 2nd life, but you are limited to the blocks we all love! But I fear it might have the same problem spore has, you might wanna pass this on to the design team... http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comics/20080627.jpg *Warning - Just coz some 10 year old would yell at me if there was none...* Damn immature idiots... Stauder.

Good on ye! Your a celebrity! And EB news got to ye before the paparazzi! Hehe... Suckers... Staudie.

Edit by Copmike: Here you can download the whole highresolution version of LEGO Universe video ! Or go to the official LEGO Universe website and enter the VIP Acces Point code LUPS, the resolution is higher from the one above though. Look here for a inside look at the Lego Universe! This is getting good! Staudie.

*A squad of EB News Lawyers dramaticaly enters and pointlessly destroys random objects* Down! Down! Sit! Stay! Damn lawyers... Hey ye know the difference between a mosquito and a lawyer? It's the suitcase. *Para-pish* Now, to buisness. Yes, the first set is cheesy, but the more you make these things the better they get. You dont wanna see v1.0 of the studio. Otherwise, some light other than the camera flash would be nice... A lesson I have been tought by the hinkmeister. And so the plot thickens... Like the epoxy on my keyboar-crap. Staudie.

Pointless? Pointless? Well my good man, if it has no point than how come you find it entertaining? Hmmm? Stauder.

And he keeps askin the costume manager weather it was raining... Staudie.

So peeing in it is a art that takes years to master? Staudie.

Happy birthday lads! Enjoy it... Stauder.

Here. Stauder.

We all have our joys Mister Phes, you have your chatter, I have EB News, Green Hair has a thing for keyboards.... or t If you want to know what i sound like tough, try this or go directly here, Staudie.

Most defiantley a amazing ship. I wonder if the lego version will be just as goood. 177cm! Bejezus! The ship is only a few cm shorter than me! That's our job. Staudie.

As WhiteFang has pointed out, Check the index! The picture in my sig leads to the index, Shadows has the link in his sig, Even whiteFang has it! Staudie.

You are aware of the fact this restriction was placed not too long ago.... Stauder

I meant MY title, not the topic title. Staudie.

Read the title boy, Staudie.

Mr.Phes is limited to only viewing the pirate forum. Ie - The other forums are litterlay invisble to him. Also, I mentioned that this would be hell to edit for shadows... Well It was hell alright, but I did the editing. This is more or less the original expet the times are cut out (most of them anyway) and the colours are added. Staudie,

Let's not Forget Mister Phes. Staudie.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, Scallywags and Captains, Sewer rats and natives! Welcome to a special Edition of EB News presents, Why special? Because our victim guest is limited to viewing the pirate forum, so it must be posted here. Also it is EB News's 45th Episode, and it is done live, via chat instead of the usual PM System. Expect some lair (Sorry, mister Phes has informed me he has Headquaters) HQ pics to be added soon. Unfortunaltey, I had to fill in for Imperial Shadows again , because he is reconstructing his PC, good luck with that, get it done fast! We miss ya NOTE - Do not move this to Community as otherwise Mister Phes will not be able to see it. 28 Jul 08, 11:43 Mister Phes: Ok, let's begin the interview Mister Phes: Why do you call yourself Strauder? Mister Phes: And why has your name become Straudie in the space of 6 minutes? Staudie: Well, my surname is stauder, and s-HEEEEY!

Staudie: Now, Welcome to EB news Presents Mister Phes. How does it feel to be the first live interview? Mister Phes: When conducting an interview you should always smell nice Mister Phes: It feels like the bluebird of happiness has swooped down and carried me away Staudie: Also sorry about you spending the past months behind the dumpster forming a primitve society because Staudie: I forgot to tell security to let you in... Mister Phes: Well what kind of host are you? Mister Phes: Do you have no shame lad? Mister Phes: Yes, the fresh air was nice but it was getting cold Mister Phes: And ice was beginning to forum on my rapier Mister Phes: When those things get ice of them they go rusty Staudie: Who is asking the questions here? Mister Phes: It appears we both are Staudie: So it does... Mister Phes: So if you like, I'll ask the questions Staudie: Ok, time to start. Staudie: Wait what? Mister Phes: I thought we had already started Mister Phes: I hope you're getting all this Mister Phes: It'll be a guarenteed ratings booster Staudie: I am.. Kind of... Staudie: Yeah... if you ever actually answer the first question... Mister Phes: I've answered all the questions you've asked so far Staudie: :-/ Staudie: Fair enough... Mister Phes: I thought you'd run so I took over Mister Phes: Ooooooooo! This has smileys too? Mister Phes: :D <- A importaint time in the history of Phes, the discovery of the smilie. Staudie: Yes... Mister Phes: Now, how many interviews have you conducted? Staudie: So, Why the name Mister Phes? Staudie: 20 in the first season of EB news Staudie: 23 in the second season Staudie: and 1 review. Mister Phes: Well why not Mister Phes? Mister Phes: My full name is the Illustrious Mister Phes but I think that's too long for some people Mister Phes: So I shorten it to Mister Phes Staudie: Go on... Staudie: Shadows whould have given up at this point... Mister Phes: Well I don't go any further with the shortening, but some shorten it even further to Phes... Staudie: Ok, What actually got you into lego all those years ago? Mister Phes: Well, who is better - you or Shadows? =P Staudie: I think you would have annoyed him away by now... Mister Phes: Once upon a time when I was a young laddie I was in Kmart Staudie: That or all the AFOLs are like this and they just pretend to be serious so they can make fun of Staudie: TFOLs... Conspiracy! Mister Phes: I was browsing through the toy section when something caught my interest Staudie: Was it a nickle on the floor? Mister Phes: It was a box... With a little pirate digging up a treasure chest with a monkey hanging off the side Mister Phes: No, it's highly unlikely that a nickle would ever be on the floor in this part of the world Mister Phes: I picked up the box and examined it Mister Phes: It immediately captured my imagination Mister Phes: Everything about it seemed so inspiring Mister Phes: The photography... The artwork... Mister Phes: I just had to have it Mister Phes: And it was only $4 so I could afford it Mister Phes: And that's how it began... Mister Phes: One small set Mister Phes: Soon lead to another small set Mister Phes: And another... Mister Phes: And another... Staudie: Have you considered writing a book? Mister Phes: Until I decided it was time to save for something slightly larger Mister Phes: What makes you think I don't already write books? Staudie: Before you say it, let me get a mop, i am droolig over here... Staudie: Well you definatley are chatty.... i WOULDNT BE SURPRISED IF YOU WRITE BOOKS Staudie: Damn capslock... Mister Phes: Did you know your CAPS LOCK is turned on? Staudie: Yes... Staudie: I was too lazy to re-write it without the capslock Mister Phes: SOME PEOPLE THINK WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS IS SHOUTING Mister Phes: NOW WHY MIGHT THAT BE? Staudie: Your standing on a trapdoor... Mister Phes: I thought you might be some kind of psychopath and therefore I'd need to make a quick exit Staudie: More like a Garbage disposal... Mister Phes: No, it's connected to a slippery slide Mister Phes: I paid good money for that Mister Phes: Titanium Staudie: For some reason the whole section of useless staff fell down there... Never found them... We did get Staudie: this great non-dairy creamer tough... Mister Phes: Now were you conducting an intereview? Mister Phes: You don't seem to be taking the lead Staudie: Woof! Mister Phes: Some interviewee are such loose cannons Mister Phes: They fire off in all directions Staudie: Ok, Next question, What is your all time favourite theme, and anything you would like to share with Staudie: us about it. Mister Phes: Now was there a question 2? Mister Phes: Hmmm... Mister Phes: My favourite theme.... Mister Phes: Now that's a tough one... Mister Phes: There's so many exciting themes to choose from Staudie: This is why we don't do live interviews... Mister Phes: I would have to be Galidor! Mister Phes: But if it wasn't live I'd never get round to answering the questions Staudie: *Sound of brain trying to make me gnaw my leg off to escape* Staudie: Ohh... it's lunch time over here sooon.... Staudie: Good Excuse... Mister Phes: Excuse? Mister Phes: There are no excuses here laddie 28 Jul 08, 12:11 Staudie: Ok... Lunch time... I will be back in bout 15 minutes... 28 Jul 08, 12:24 Staudie: Back Mister Phes: Most excelelnt! Mister Phes: Now, back to business Staudie: So, your favourite theme is pirates yes? Mister Phes: Absolutely! How did you guess that? Staudie: You are also wearing a matching pair of socks! Mister Phes: Brilliant deducation, I must remember to hire you some time... Staudie: Ok, what would your 3 favourite sets be? Staudie: On a side note, Shadows is gonna have hell editing this... On a side note staudie actually edited this... Mister Phes: No, it will be a joy for him. He'll love it and he must remember the JULY NEWSLETTER Staudie: Subtle arent we? Mister Phes: I don't know about you, but I'm certainly not Mister Phes: Three favourite sets Mister Phes: 6281 Pirates Perilious Pitfall would have to be number one Mister Phes: 6235 Buried Treasure would be second Mister Phes: and 6267 Lagoon Lockup would be third Mister Phes: Next question! Staudie: Ok next question, have you ever attended a EB meet? If so, how can you describe the rest of the Staudie: nutjobs on the site? Staudie: Uhh... Members... Mister Phes: Ummm... What's an "EB meet"? Mister Phes: But I can assure you there's many nutjobs on the site Mister Phes: There's a nutjob interviewing a nutjob right now... Mister Phes: But don't tell them I said that Staudie: Ok... Moving on... Staudie: What is your all time best Lego related moment? Mister Phes: I think the day that I discovered Pirate LEGO was probably the best Mister Phes: It just gave me this feeling of intrigue... Excitement... and Creativity... Staudie: Uhuh... Mister Phes: It's hard to explain the sensation in words, but it felt really nice Mister Phes: You don't seem sincerely interested in my answer there Staudie: I am adding you to the list of people that can replace ImperialShadows... Mister Phes: Replace ImperialShadows? Mister Phes: What for? Staudie: He's a laz-busy man... Staudie: Ok, next question, your moment of glory on EB would be? Mister Phes: Moment of glory on Eurobricks? Mister Phes: I think the day the Pirate Forum created was the most glorious moment Mister Phes: Finally a place for Pirate LEGO fanatics to congregate and discuss their interest Mister Phes: Before the Pirate Forum there wasn't really anywhere Mister Phes: Sure LUGNET had a Pirate section Staudie: Aha! Also I just noticed you have the title "Weekend warrior" mind explaining? Mister Phes: Well there's a story behind that Mister Phes: I'd have to be quite chatty Mister Phes: Do you think you can handle it? Staudie: Yeah Mister Phes: Well, I'd reached a point where I was spending too much on Eurobricks Mister Phes: and I was achieving in other areas Mister Phes: So I thought the best thing to do was resign Mister Phes: And I did! Mister Phes: Made myself a normal user Mister Phes: Just like that Staudie: Wait... Your normal? We cant have that! Get the F**K out of my office! Mister Phes: But apparently there is nobody else in the world who could replace me Mister Phes: Yes, I was a Eurobricks Grand Duke Mister Phes: Well for about a week Staudie: Oh right... I tought your story was over... Mister Phes: So the other administrators and I came to a compromised Staudie: What powers does a Grand Duke have? I belive this was never explained. Mister Phes: And that compromise was I would only have access to the Pirate forum Mister Phes: A Grand Duke is a user group for users with over 5,000 posts Staudie: Whaaa? You cant see any other forums? Mister Phes: Nope Mister Phes: None Mister Phes: Just the Pirate Forum Mister Phes: This frees up enough time to continue to maintain the Pirate Forum Mister Phes: So now I don't have to resign Staudie: Well, I guess that means you cant see any interviews we have done... GREAT! That means we can mock Staudie: you and get away with it! Mister Phes: Yes, you can Mister Phes: You can dishonerably defame me and I'll be none the wiser Mister Phes: Very a very admirable act Staudie: Yes, I can Staudie: My job is gettin easyer and easyer... Mister Phes: Next the interviews will write themselves! 28 Jul 08, 12:52 Staudie: Ok, what do you think about the way TLC is heading this year? Staudie: Phes? 28 Jul 08, 12:55 Staudie: Houston we lost Phes! Mister Phes: I better answer this carefully in case you're one of their secret agents! Mister Phes: You might report my answer back to them! Staudie: Yey! We have phes back! Staudie: Or at least to Copmike... Mister Phes: And they might assassainate me Mister Phes: But more seriously, I'm quite pleased with the 2008 LEGO products Mister Phes: I've actually purchased some of this year's sets Staudie: Or liquidate you... I love that word... Liquidate.. Tee-hee... Mister Phes: I haven't purchased a new LEGO set since 1993 Staudie: Whaaat? Staudie: You are kidding right? Staudie: Wow, people realy dont know anything about you... Mister Phes: Right Mister Phes: Well... Mister Phes: No, I'm not kidding Staudie: Your creepin me out man! It's not contageous is it? Mister Phes: I purchased my last set before entering my Dark Age in 1993 Mister Phes: Stop being a wuss Mister Phes: I need to be interview by a man Mister Phes: A brave man! Staudie: ACID! My kingdom for a acid bath! Staudie: Yeah well good luck... Staudie: Ok, what sets would you like to see TLC prooduce in the future? Mister Phes: They shouldn't produce any future sets and that would save me money! Mister Phes: But if they really must Mister Phes: Then they should give the Pirate fanatics what they want! Staudie: *Starts typing PM to copmike* Mister Phes: Yes, do contact him 28 Jul 08, 13:03 Mister Phes: I'm about to elaborate Mister Phes: The LEGO Group should really expand upon the Imperial Armada theme Mister Phes: or sub-theme Mister Phes: There needs to be a huge Spanish Fortress on a 48 x 32 baseplate Mister Phes: There needs to be proper galleons, bigger than the Black Seas Barracudda and Skulls Eye Schooner Mister Phes: There needs to be non pirate and military based sets Mister Phes: We determined in the Pirate Forum a while back it would be nice to see a Dutch Merchants theme Mister Phes: Focusing the commercial and colonial aspects of life around the time of the golden age of piracy Mister Phes: Also smaller ships with brickbuilt hulls like the one found in the Imperial Trading Post Mister Phes: Is that enough? Or do you need more? Staudie: That's good Staudie: a few last questions Staudie: Am I annoying? Mister Phes: You're not running out are you? Staudie: Why are you enjoying this? Mister Phes: Of course Mister Phes: This is the most fun I've ever had in an interview Staudie: This aint youf first is it? Mister Phes: So what happened with the chat history on Cbox? Mister Phes: I notice the buffer only goes back as far as 13:03 Staudie: It gets deleted after a certain litmit, dont worry I got it all arhived Staudie: oh right that Staudie: go to the top, it says "Older Messages" Mister Phes: I don't have that on my end Mister Phes: But never mind!

I suppose that concludes this episode of EB news Presents... Staudie: This edition will be posted in the pirate forum so you can see it. Staudie: Now, as Ras would say, GET THE F**K OUT OF MY OFFICE! Staudie: Cya 28 Jul, 13:36 Hinckley: Ha I found your interviewing lair! 28 Jul, 13:57 Hinckley: Hey where is everyone? *signal Fades*

If you manage to tie up phes, and drag him into the studio be my guest... I probably asked him so many times he is blocking my pms... EDIT - Whoops! As it truns out, Phes agreed, but I never sent him the questions! Staudie.

So, does anyone have any reccomendations for the next episode?

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of EB News Presents. We have not had a show in weeks, so we hope this makes up for it. I am your host, Stauder, today with me is ImperialShadows and our guest is Deinonychus, who's name I have to copy and paste... Let's Begin! Q. Why the name Deinonychus,? I've always been a fan of Deinonychus antirrhopus, and when the movie version of Jurassic Park came out when I was in high school the Raptors (Which are really Deinonychus, just Wiki it for the full explanation) were an instant favorite. So much so, that my friends quickly nicknamed me "Raptor". So, that was the name I began using online in the infancy of the Internet when you could still pick and choose just about any screen name you wanted. As time went on, Raptor became harder and harder to get, so I decided to get back to basics and go with Deinonychus...it's worked so far. Q. A Dinosaur SigFig? Original, yes. Practial No. I mean, where do you fit a dino in a Airport MOC? "Will Mr.Deinonychus Please clean up on gate 3?" Well the dinosaur is more for storytelling purposes. It's pretty damn funny to have a smirking raptor in a photo-comic menacing other Minifigs. I don't really feel much of a need to include myself into MOCs. Although I did try to build him a persona starship one time before I moved on to something else. Q. How long have you collected these little ABS bricks we all know and love as Lego? Ever since early, early childhood. I can't remember a Christmas morning without LEGOs of some sort. I always picked up a few sets each year until 1999 when the Star Wars came onto the scene. That's when I started buying entire themes on a regular basis. Nowadays it's hard to name a LEGO set I haven't picked up. Q. Any recent mocs worth mentioning? Not really. I'm an untalented hack when it comes to MOCs. I guess my little Mars Mission alien saucer is pretty neat. I do a lot of color replacements and modifications to official sets, and that keeps me pretty pleased with myself. Beyond that, designing stuff from the ground-up never turns out as good as I envision it in my head. Q. What are your 3 favourite sets? 7477 - T-1 Typhoon Vs. T-Rex from the Dino Attack theme. That helicopter is simply beautiful and jam-packed full of weaponry. It's a perfect example of the awesome LEGO could achieve if hey ever did a modern military line. 10030 - Ultimate Collector's Series Star Destroyer. The Falcon and the upcoming Death Star may have more pieces, but you still can't beat that ISD for the ability to stop people in their tracks when they see it. Even after having it all these years I still stare at it in wonder sometimes. 7163 - Republic Gunship. Probably one of the most fun and well designed Star Wars LEGO sets. Although seeing pictures of the new version has sort of made me look at the old girl as sort of chunky and obsolete, which is kind of sad. Regardless, I still love my LAAT/i Q. Any personal favourite theme? Alpha Team. That first wave of Alpha Team was something that we'd never seen the likes of in LEGO ever before and it still holds a place in my heart. Second would probably be a tie between Star Wars and Rock Raiders, and I think Agents may soon make that list. Q. What was the greatest lego-related moment in your life? Probably going to Wal-Mart that one hot summer night and finding the first LEGO Star Wars sets and just falling in love with the whole concept and declaring it carried off perfectly even before I got to the register. Just holding those boxes, I knew I was starting something cool. Q. And the most amazing moment on Eurobricks? Being made a Fellow. It really says to you "Hey, your thoughts and opinions and personality are the kind of thing we dig around here. So, here's a cookie." Mmmmm... Cookie... You had to mentio food? Q. Now, what do you think Of the Jurrasic Park films? Love them. Sure, they're fraught with inaccuracies, bad writing, but as far as visual spectacles go, you're hard pressed to do better. Who doesn't love big real-looking dinosaurs running around and messing people up? Q. How do you think TLC is heading? I think they're on a good track. They had lost their way a bit a few years back, but they've turned it around mightily. They're getting a good handle on what licensed themes work and which don't and I think they've secured their company, and their customer base for at least a further 50 years. The quality and imagination put into just about every theme and sub-set is making it hard for me to not buy everything I see. Plus, you know, you really can never have too many LEGO elements of any kind. Q. "Ohhh Ahhh, that's how it always starts. But then there is running, and screaming..." ...then the restraining orders, and accusations of sexual harassment, and pretty soon people are scared to leave their girlfriends alone around Deino. That took a turn for the second worst... Second? He left Lego out of it. Fair enough... Q. Am I annoying? Compared to the rest of the Internet? You're an absolute treat! Who says chivalry is dead? No one... But with you on it"s team it might commit suicide... Q. Who sould we interview next? Is there anyone left? You pretty much scraped the bottom of the barrel with me didn't you? *Whispers*He knows...*Wispers* *Whispers*Then pick somone from the audiance, or get a reccomendation from them!*whispers* *Whispers*We still have a audiance?*Whisper* Fatal Error - Information overload. *Signal Fades*

Nice cute design, Reminds me of tugs at airports The bus is also a nice redesign of old busses. Staudie.

Not to mention I hired you... Staudie.

Happy birthday you three! Stauder.

I am pulling out the old cape... Also 2 words would have done "Dark Humor" Staudie.
