talk about a disturbing ebay listing...
vahkimetru replied to morris's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I get the creeps when I think of childhood death. If I had that, I'd dream every night of some kid walking into my room and yelling in my ear: "WHY DO YOU HAVE MY LEGO???" -
Greivous have you read the "House at Pooh Corner"? :-P I guess the original is good. But can you stand "The Tigger Movie" or all the crappy remakes Disney has done? Mulan 2? The Fox and the Hound 2? The Lion Kin 1.5? Peter Pan 2 (I'm sure Barry would hate to see that if he were alive. :-( ). I do agree with you however, that Dreamworks and Shrek are terrible. Does anyone remember that studio that did at least three children's movies last spring? (Doogal, that stuff...) Those movies were terrible. Every so often Disney will throw us a good movie (IMO, the Incredables was wonderful) but then they ruin it with some crud sequal. The movies teach very little to children and just melts at their brain like all TV. To quote Frederic Beigbeder's Windows on the World: "Our kids are badly brought up because they're not brought up at all. At least, not by us; they're brought up by cartoon channels. Thank you, Disney Channel, the world's babysitter! Our kids are spoiled rotten because we're spoiled rotten." That sums up why I don't watch cartoons (Save for the Simpsons once a week. I don't watch much TV) Disney is just teaching children (Which I am one) that they neeeeed to beg their parents into letting them see some mindless cartoon movie, or buy some merchandise. This is why I hate Disney. Enough ranting for me. :-$

That's just sad. If this is real then this person has a problem. He uses his poor son's death for marketing uses. If it's a scam, then that is one very bad way to advertise.... -
Space Mountain's the golf ball in Epcot, right? It got locked down when I was inside. They said it was normal. I have to admit being scared in the golf ball. Disney has the weirdest of ideas. And they forced a family to sign a waver, AFTER their kid was handicapped for life? After he was crippled? And Disney Cops? I've been to Disney in Florida many, many times. I have faint memories of security guards, but Disney's gonna get a fudgey PRIVATE ARMY, on the course they're going. What ever happened to M-I-C-K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E? Disney continues to confuse me. :-/

Cartoon and kids tv topic, simpsons, futurama etc
vahkimetru replied to casewindu's topic in Culture & Multimedia
I'm not sure South Park is "for kids". Very far from that. I've seen it maybe once. -
Me? Star Wars, but I still hold the beileif that it's more fantasy then sci-fi.

I loathe Disney. :-X It's great that Pooh gets to be a good old storybook character and not some stupid Disneyfied creature. I also hate Disney's marketing scheme. They own a fleet of cruise ships, not to mention an island. (As a contradiction of all of my rants against Disney, I love the parks... And they have their own LEGO Store... 8-

I'm going to extend the deadline to March 10th.

Hmmm... I can make some templates for you. If you want them, tell me. :-)
-
Try adding statistics and templates.
-
Templates are like cards that show pictures of the character/vehicle/monster etc. and the statistics. They're almost always computer made. You might want to try a program called Microsoft Digital Image Pro. It's quite easy, and I'd be glad to give you a quick tutorial on making a basic template. :-) Here's a template from my wargame as an example. PS. If you want a tutorial on making a template, PM me.

To be fair to the members who posted them I'll put a mark if the topic is closed or the member has been chambered/banned. Those topics will die, inevitably so.

Armageddon-Really cool, but it was kind of chilling how the WTC and some other skyscrapers were ripped apart... Ghoust Rider-This was awesome! I loved the acting, though Nicholas Cage looked kind of out of place with Johnny Blaze's girlfreind, he looked too old. *n*

I wasn't saying this game is terrible. It jsut needs a lot of improvement. My games aren't perfect either, I suggest you read about BrikWars for some inspiration. All people have the ability to improve. It looks like you added some more, but maybe you could add some templates. The way it's going, it's getting much better IMO.
-
Yoda, should I keep all these games up. Some have... well died. Thanks for pinning!
-
Oh. Now I understand! He must get to the highest point in Brick. I still think it needs more depth. For example, why is this high point important? What will Brickster get from this? I'm not saying spoil the story, just give some more understanding to the readers and you could have a very creative story.
-
I'm confused. This guy wants to knock down a giant LEGO brick and what will he get out of it??? Add some depth and this could become a nice (And colorful) story.
-
:-/ This is very confusing, generalized and no stats included. A basic fighting game. Sorry, it jsut needs work, but I'm sure you have the skill to improve!

It is a time of war for Exo-Force. Both their battle machines and the robots are forced to meet new standards, and two terrible weapons: Sky Titan and Iron Crusher, are locked in combat. Here are special rules for wargaming when using the Iron Crusher and Sky Titan sets. TRIPLE OWNAGE Because these Battle Machines will be seeing a lot of rough battles, they are equipped with back up systems which can reboot 3 times. This means that when all life points are lost, the Battle Machine gets them all back, but can only do this three times.This rule applies ONLY to Combined Machines. In addition, projectiles cannnot regain ammo each time a machine's backup system regenerates life. RETREATING FROM THE (OR IN THE) MASSES Because the titans can inflict so much damage unto smaller machines, any machine with a life point count of 40 or lower can either stay where they are once a combo machine comes within 12 inches of them or immeditely go back to the starting point. QUITE SHOCKING! Because their electrical systems are so fragile, projectiles and weapons with a range of under six inches add an "electric shock" causing an extra three life points to be lost. However, this charge regenerates dying areas and adds one point to the battle machine's life when it recharges from the backup system. Here are the cards: Enjoy!

Although this event didn't have the magnitude nor loss of life as September 11th, I think one life lost is one life too much. Please remember the six who perished fourteen years ago today when a truck bomb detonated in the parking garage in 1 WTC (the North Twin Tower) and injured thousands. I'm not saying that the lives lost in '01 weren't valuable, but this disaster is US history lost six lives too many. However, I for one think that this event in a way prepared workers for another catastrophe. 2,749 people the amount who died in the 9/11 attacks on the WTC was a trememndous loss of life but then keep in mind over 10,000 people on average were in the WTC (including the other five WTC towers). So take a post to remember, in a sense, you're lighting a virtual candle. Thank you for your time... :-)

6-Wheeler Drilling Tank-Nice. However, I'm not a big fan opf Bionicle use in system that could use regular Technic instead of the wonky weapons and such that make sense in EXF but not really in regular space ships. Should've done this like the CTT. I'm loathing that Zamor Launcher, but the overall design and two small ships make up for its failures. Overall-8/10 Tank-tread mecha-I love this one! The set seems a bit lanky but the included ship and bricks, plus the tank treads make me want it soooo bad!!!!! Overall-9/10 Large Alien Ship-OMG! This is my favorite! The tentacles in the body, the gunners, the tail fins! Delicious! The only bad thing is the <insert that tiresome argument> launcher. Overall-10/10 Small Human Flyer-A must buy for me! This cheep set is what classic space was based around! It reminds me of the CS Space Scooters!!! Overall-10/10 More to come...
-
No, but they could have made him some huge monster...

My thoughts- Toa Mahri Jaller-My favorite. He's not that good (which says a lot) but I can't help loving the mask. The crab also is a nice addition, but it so <insert that tiresome argument>! The Chaingun is really out of place. In EXF or some theme like that I might not complain as much, but come on! This tihng is okay on a titan but waaaay too big on the Toa. Overall-8/10 Hahli-I'm not a big fan of blyue characters, but Hahli looks pretty cool. The wings are a bit weird, but the clear mask areas and lime green accents make up for this. Overall-8/10 Hewkii-Blech. Just blech. What happened to everyone's favorite Kohli playing Matoran? Why? Now he looks like something my school cafeteria cooked up! And the silver looks soooo out of place! He might have made an okay Barraki, but he is no Toa set! Overall-6.5/10 Nuparu-Not sooo bad. The silver does fit in here. However, the sheild is a bit out of place. We need a hand held tool here. Otherwise, he will not have a good means of attack, because his other arm will fall off due to the incredible weight of that freaking-huge chaingun. Overall-7.5/10 Matoro-I... I... I... HATE HIM! Lego drove me mad with the mish-mash design of the tank and backwards Inika limb design. THe mask doesn't fit in. I loathe him!!!! Overall-4/10 Kongu-One chaingun is enough. Two? Two? While I like the idea of this flying hotshot shooting two guns, I wouldn't be so happy if they were chain guns the size of the moon. Consequentley, the chainguns are huge. The tank on the back and mask really renew him. Overall-7/10 Toa Mahri Overall-7/10 Titans Gadunka-We've seen juniorization. We've seen Jack Stone. We've seen Galidor, but this? Noooo! It can't be! The Titans are falling away to the menace of juniorization. Way too thrown together! Overall-6/10 Maxilos-Hmmmm. Not bad, though something seems out of place about his kneck. The color scheme is not at all bad. I think that this might not be so terrible. I like the mask and the two Ignika for armor are pretty cool. Overall-9/10 Spinax-This I like! It reminds me of the Nexu from AOTC, and is built perfectley! My only gripe is the fact that Maxilos can't ride him. Overall-9/10 Hydraxon-My favorite. His mask resembles a skull, and the tools actually seem in place! Even the chaingun doesn't look so bad. I really like the color scheme, and he looks easy to MOC with. Overall-9/10 Titans Overall-8/10
