Red Blocks Party

Here is a video I took of the Red Blocks party on closing night. It was in a very packed instance and the Mythrans were great at pulling people in. I think I was pulled 3 times that night(1), very weird, never had that happen before. Excuse the choppy camera, I was starting to lag heavy with fraps going and all the spawn, not to mention I was using a trackpad at the time as well. I really like the epaulettes, they are like Mosaic Jester, but earth tone and went quite nice with the Inventor suit. Any idea what they were?

If you were on last night and you did not get to this instance, this was where all that mail was coming from. I’ll post pics and video soon, though I’m sure some is already up, of the ~lineup~… it was pretty amazing. The player community was for the most part just great, forming.an.orderly.lineup.  to talk to a Mythran perched on a mailbox. That isn’t in this video, the lineup happened sometime after. I think there might have been 4 Mythrans at one point, making spawn stuff and filling requests. Hats off blue guys, you really put on a great End of the Universe show.

Final Photo

This is an interesting momento from SamuraiMaster. In the last 15 minutes ( I still want to type hive tean ) of the game, Shival sent these buggy cameras directly to our backpacks ( thank goodness I had a slot open after that loot flood )

He took a picture while we were on White’s prop and I thought that was it, game over early. It did end bugging my chat and crashing everyone else, and when I left the prop it crashed my client so I was scrambling in the last 10 minutes of the game to regroup with my team in the right instance of Nimbus, tripping over friends along the way.

Anyways, you can see the crazy quality of picture it takes. I took a short video of the camera in action and will get that up sometime, but you double click on the camera in your backpack and it automagically uploads the picture to imgur.com, pretty neat.

So this picture is really the last minute of the game, lights went out maybe 20 seconds later. I think it’s really fitting in it’s strange, buggy quality and I was right where I wanted to be, in Nimbus with friends.

Thanks Sam for sharing this 🙂

Brandi Carlile – Dreams

This one is for all the Nexus Force today. I must have played this song a dozen times already.

PC Gamer interview with Mike Rayhawk

Great interview with Mike on working on the game and what might have been.

Flambridge Spooky Prop

Flambridge made a spooky house on Storm, of course I didn’t see it because I only played on Overbuild. Thankfully, Storm’s finest import, Nerfertiti made a great video for us to see this award winning prop. Thanks Nerf!!

 

Maelstrom infected VicLUG

The Maelstrom won ( for now ) and VL is hurting. There is 4 LUPs in residence with an additional 3 we’ve adopted along the way. Not to mention we’ve tortured our fellow Lug members over the years with this game. The VL colours are infected today.

Supernova

At 8:59 Pacific time, Lego Universe went supernova. I guess the Mayans were right after all.

My character’s name in the game was Zipblock and I’m starting this blog to post about not only my experiences that night, but the whole time I was involved with the game and other Lego stuff that might be of note.

That’s all for now since the blog is bare bones as I write this and I hope this post gets totally buried by interesting content one day.
