The funniest thing I've seen in a long time! Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

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

ftp://ftp.scene.org:21/pub/parties/...ika_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.

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.

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.

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....

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
