OK, thanks, but I think the amount of 8MBs I'll need would be a problem. I heard 8MBs are the only ones that are flawless, but they are so expensive where I live. They cost 25 euros, and 32MB costs 25 euros aswell, and that'll all be expensive if I have to buy a few memory cards of 8MB. The 32MB that my li'l brother uses has been flawless so far, he used to have a 64MB which died, so it is likely the problem with the 64s, and looking at the expensive cost of the 8MB cards I'm worried it'll suck up my money in a short amount of time. Are you sure 32MB won't be good too? (As I can still access my 64MB memory card, even though it may disconnect, I'll use it as a back-up and I'll copy the files to the new memory card I'll get then) ~General Magma

I have looked at the PS2 browser and it says "copy" on some files, is it possible to copy the game saves to another memory card? If so, I will buy a 32MB card tomorrow, my little brother also has that one and never had a single problem with it. Thanks, ~General Magma EDIT: Where are your 64MB cards from which died? Qware? Sony?

Hey all, I've got a problem, and I hope this is the right place to ask it, as this is "PlayStation general discussion". I hoped some of you might be able to help me out, I've had this problem for quite a while, and it's about my memory card, well the problem is; Each time I want to play on my PS2, I have to insert my memory card for a second time (sometimes it works immediately), and then I start playing a game, after a while of playing (say, 15 minutes?) the memory card suddenly seems to be disconnected, but I never take it out of the PS2 when it's still on. It suddenly says "memory card has been disconnected". Then I start trying to save to see if it works to, it says "no memory card inserted, etc.", I find this very annoying as I can't play a game normally anymore, when I'm in the middle of a level it suddenly disconnects... (yes I tried blowing into it a heap of times already) I use a 64MB memory card from "Qware" (Sony ones weren't available anymore, and I don't think Qware is the problem as it has never happened to my little brother at all and he has a Qware card too) I would highly appreciate some help, I'm worried I won't be able to normally retrieve my old saves anymore. Thanks in advance, ~General Magma

I'm very very sorry for the double post, but could anybody please tell me their opinion about this MOC? This is the first MOC I have ever posted on EB so I would like people to tell me what they think about it, I have posted it on other sites too but it seems like almost nobody is looking after it while I was really hoping that people would tell me what they think about it. Hope you guys get what I mean. Thanks, ~General Magma

Yes I saw him there. IMO it was kinda stupid that they missed Snake, but on the other side, it gives us more logs! Hopefully he gets some other aliens to break out... I wonder if the Space Biker Gang will remain as the only gang... ~General Magma

Well actually it says: "The final chapter of the epic Space Police logs. Or is it?!?!!" I think it did, but I wrote without looking it up, but it was like that. I seriously do hope there will be alot more, especially with the new aliens in 2010. Also, Snake is the last of the gang they have to catch, for now... ~General Magma

Hey all! This is the very first MOC I post on EB, and also the first UFO themed MOC I have made. I'm very sorry for the bad quality of the pictures, but I don't have a better camera yet so I can't do much better than this right now but I hope it's still fine... Now on to the MOC. I named it the "Space Turret Flyer". It has three legs for the landing gear. When in flight mode it can still fire lasers but ground mode provides better aiming. It is piloted by androids from the UFO line. Here it is in flight mode: Ground mode: Here are the pictures in my Flickr photostream. More pictures can be found here on MOCpages. Enjoy and thanks for looking! C&C is always welcome. ~General Magma EDIT: Could a MOD add "[MOC]" to the title so it says "[MOC] Space Turret Flyer"? Thanks.

Damn! Now I can't even get to the site anymore! I hope I can transfer my pics to my newly created Flickr account soon, if BS goes up again for a while... Hopefully it doesn't mean the end of BS... ~General Magma

Thanks for this great raffle! It's the first raffle I ever entered. Good luck to all who entered the raffle, and everyone has a chance, right? ~General Magma

First raffle I ever enter! Hope the blur is fine, can't do much better than it with the (web)cam I use... Because BS uploading is disabled I had to use 'ImageShack', click the photo to enlarge it. Here's my entry (christmas tree included).... "Darth Vader thought he landed on Hoth, and had no idea what was happening when he got a bunch of snowballs thrown in the face (or better say: mask)..." Good luck all and thanks to CopMike for setting up this great raffle! ~General Magma

The heads are not CW! I was right about it being ROTS! Thanks for showing us that pic. ROTS returns! It would've been better if the CTT was ROTS too, though, but I think I'm getting it anyways. ~General Magma

Awesome maxifig you've made there, lego-maniac! It's very nice! Great job. The lights are great too, reminds me of the game "Republic Commando's". Looking forward to more from you! ~General Magma

TLC does insert random minifigs, the hyperdrive boosterring set also included Kit Fisto, but the Jedi Starfighter was Obi-Wan's starfighter, not Kit Fisto's, he was just an addition to the set. I'd rather have another pilot, now if I buy the set I gotta buy another pilot off the internet... grumph.. I'm not sure if it's ROTS, it could likely be the CW, but I don't think the pilots are CW styled looking at the pics, and they are not CW pilots, I think.. @Ras: Thanks for that info! If it has Aayla and Barriss Offee in it, then I'll buy it no doubt, even two new Jedi make it worth it. Can't wait to see pics. ~General Magma

Wow! They've found water on Mars too! Sorry, just HAD to do that! Anyways I voted "don't know", "don't know" and "yes". I think there is water on Mars, I don't really know, but is likely as it's a cold planet, think about frozen water like on the moon... so it is highly possible. As for the first poll questions, I don't know at all, the space exploration goes very slow so it's unlikely. But maybe...? ~General Magma

Wow, I guess ep3 style ARC-170! With dot-eyed figs! That's awesome! That may mean I was right back then, when I said it looked like an ep3 set. Aayla and Bly in the CTT would be awesome too, and a new General Grievous fig! I have my own brickbuilt version of GG, I keep it anyways I think, and to be honest I don't think the new Grievous figure would be really posable actually... but it's possible, just unlikely for TLG. ~General Magma

Maybe they could do a chrome snowtrooper, with the anniversary of ESB next year. As for a chrome battle droid, I don't think that would be a good idea, those BD pieces can be weak sometiems y'know, and then the BD can't stand properly anymore.. But I don't really mind, the chance for me to get a chrome minifig out of a set is zero, unless they are here in my country too... but I doubt it. I agree with Darth Lion, a chrome Royal Guard would be pretty cool. Or a clonetrooper? We'll see... ~General Magma

Can I have a battle droid driving the BP carriers? If so, I'll put one of them in each carrier. I move one commander to the AAT and the other to the MTT, and if I need a pilot in the AAT I let that pilot be in there and move out all of the other units in the AAT except for the commander (and the pilot). No, then I don't. Hope those are fine. ~General Magma

It is late in the evening right here, and very dark, but using my new lamp I got around taking pics of the COM transport! By the way, 'til when do I have to post my troop positions? Anyways here are the pics: ~General Magma

Here's an army update. I forgot the COM transport and I can't take pics now anymore, so that comes tomorrow possibly, if not then saturday if I still have time by then. Update includes: General Grievous, 3 lightsabers 1 pistol (pistol from the 8014 clone BP set) 2x MagnaGuard both with an electrostaff. Pics: ~General Magma

No I had them already but when I saw someone posted an army with two magnaguards I thought about it again. I'll take a pic of the magnaguards, Grievous with a blaster and the com link transport tomorrow, together with the troop positions. ~General Magma
