Toys and Games

got this idea from cybers Lego post, from the how stuff works and came across this little program

http://ldd.lego.com/download/

you can make anything on this program, without having to worry about cleaning up the little bits of lego when your done.
i am going to make a few basic designs to start with.

and whats more, if you fancy making it in RL, Lego will price it and send you all the parts you need (but i doubt i will be doing that any time soon, idue to lack of space in my room

I've already got it - and installed it on all the PCs at work, too!
It's good but check your video card drivers are up-to-date - it has a habit of suddenly blurring out all the text onscreen if you don't!

yeah its pushing my laptop to the limit, i tried to download one of the prebuilt models off the net, and it went to a almost standstill .
i might try one of them lego robotnic sets though they look cool as heck, and its something to keep my hands busy.
all this gaming is making my mind too active, so i am lossing a lot of sleep.

OH WOW! This version lets you make things explode!

*Has many happy hours of blowing models apart*

How do you blow things up
i cant seem to find that action

First, build or open your model, then go to View Mode. Look for an icon that looks like a filmstrip with a little bomb next to it. Click and watch the model explode.

For a real Matrix effect, right-click and drag the mouse around while the bricks are still floating in mid air. Very cool!

Building Instructions mode is quite cool too. You can watch the model build itself.

Thanks cyber, now all i need to do is work out how the Animation button works

I haven't got that far yet.

I've got three robotics kits and they're fab. You might want to look at what my kids did with them...

Funky robot!



Lego Cyber!



I was in a silly mood - not that you can tell.

We've got some of these at school, and this simulator is almost as good. Have fun!!!

That's so cool, though i just uninstaled my lego program yesterday.
i am slowly getting around to backing up all my Mp3s Jpegs and Mpegs ready for a full format though god knows that it will take me in to next year when i get around to doing that .

Yeah, it's amazing what kinds of stuff can accumulate on your hard drive after a while. How are you backing up?

I tend to use DVD-Rs to save big stuff like my Sims houses and families and downloads and... you get the picture.

Yeah i need to get DvDs as i am all out.
but so far i got all my pics, word documents of usefull sites and small sized patchs on CDR.

I only got2 gigs of space on my Cdrive and 3 gigs on my Ddrive i almost sounds like my laptop is crying

Don't know if you have an Asda near you but they sell spindles of DVDs pretty cheaply.

well i could always ask my uncle herbert for a few disks, but as i said it takes forever for me to get from planing to pratical so i guess i am a tipical male

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a chimp? Possibly...

Match Dubya's face with the corresponding primate. Silly but fun!
