The funniest thing I've seen in a long time!

Since you won't check out the Assembly thread, check out this video:

ftp://ftp.scene.org:21/pub/parties/2...ka_by_taat.mpg

Download that, IT IS WORTH IT!, little under 40 megs though, but it's funny as hell and very skilled video!

Do it NOW!

ps. it's fast site, so if you have decent connection, it won't take too much time.

Pekka · August 7, 2003, 23:24

If you doubt me.. there's ninjas in it! And mechs!

Pekka · August 7, 2003, 23:58

None of you have seen it yet! Come on folks, this is worth it...

Nubclear · August 8, 2003, 00:03

Fine, I'll bite. But if its not worth every second of my download....

Pekka · August 8, 2003, 00:05

it is... let us know what you think after you've seen it

DRoseDARs · August 8, 2003, 00:29

That was...odd. I can't even imagine having the patience to do something like that.

Not bad.

mrmitchell · August 8, 2003, 00:30

Pretty cool.

Nubclear · August 8, 2003, 00:30

PEKKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WARN ANYONE ELSE CONSIDERING DOWNLOADING THIS NOT TO DOWNLOAD IT. IT IS *NOT* WORTH FORTY MEGS.

Pekka · August 8, 2003, 00:31

Yeah, definitely.. I think it was very skilled with all the camera angles and directing!

But now I have to get out of here, wonder how much longer it takes Tass to download it..

. It's not THAT big of a file anyway.

Pekka · August 8, 2003, 00:31

Tass, what's the problem? Didn't have any legos in Moscow?

DRoseDARs · August 8, 2003, 00:32

Oh come one Tass, it was cute "you mustard!"

Nubclear · August 8, 2003, 00:34

That was probably the worst investment of forty megs I have ever downloaded in my life.

It's gone now, but...it was horrifying.

And no, I never played with Legos in Moscow or St. Petersburg or Russia or India.

Pekka · August 8, 2003, 00:35

Invesment? Do you like pay by the bandwith you use?

mrmitchell · August 8, 2003, 00:35

For 40mbs? No way.

However, it's still a very good movie. If only we all had more hard drive space, then it would not matter....

No, but harddrive space is precious.

Luckily, I got a full refund, so

Pekka · August 8, 2003, 00:38

Hey, get into the 21st century already. 40 megs is nothing! And you can always delete it after watching...
It only takes few minutes with a slow 512k adsl connection. What do you guys use, illegal immigrants shouting ones and zeroes?

Nubclear · August 8, 2003, 00:39

I only have 10 GB left...I need to make the most of it.

DRoseDARs · August 8, 2003, 00:40

300kps-700kps DSL + 120GB harddrive + 40GB harddrive = "What, me worry?" (TM)

And Tass, you poor deprived soul. Never having played with Legos? Inconceivable...

When I discovered them (a few months ago), I hated them on site. Theyre so...limited....Ugh.

I prefer a good old fashioned pen and paper for my artistic needs.

Pekka · August 8, 2003, 00:42

That's pretty bad. I didn't have ninjas though, if they were available when I was in that age, I'd definitely would have get them.

Also you know you can watch this full screen, and the sounds are good quality in this, so you might want to have those speakers working too.

DRoseDARs · August 8, 2003, 00:47

Sheesh Tass, next you'll be telling us you've never even held a Slinky or eaten Playdoh before...

If it weren't for Legos I never would have wanted to become an architect. A few more years and I just might earn my license and add the title AIA comma-ed onto my name.

Smoke signals are longer range, and they're already in binary!

I sometimes can make small buildings out of clay. Thats pretty fun.

Rhetorical question, Tass: Ever build a 6-foot-tall Lego skyscraper when you were only 4-feet-tall? Leaves quite the impression on the young mind and makes one's parents rather proud.

By being able to pile blocks on top of each other?

Seems a bit silly to me.

DRoseDARs · August 8, 2003, 02:45

But here's the thing: I had enough blocks to make a reasonably believable-looking structure. It LOOKED like it could be replicated into an actual design, though not buildable by todays technology. I should note, Frank Llyod Wright designed the mile high Illinois for the city of Chicago. Not buildable then, or today, but certainly not far-fetched.

I didn't just simply "pile blocks on top of each other;" my placement of each piece was pretty deliberate...at least until I got nearer the top, had to start winging it by that point. Ce la vie...unless, of course, you're an actual architect, in which case "winging it" would be a rather big no-no...

I just wish I had a picture of it or could remember what it looked like. No that I've had some architectural education I could have started playing with the design with real construction principles...*sigh*...oh well.
