Thought on Animal and Human DNA exchanging

Incase you don't have enough time to read or want as much info as possible I created a short and long version; SHORT; Can an animal's Genetic code/DNA be put into a Human? LONG; Some time ago, I found out in a class about how scientists were able to make a Human ear grow on the back of a Mouse. This got me thinking; If we can implement Human DNA (in that case, the DNA for the ears) into an animal, then surely it would be possible to do it the other way around; Implementing

LEGO Alpha Team intro except no effort went into it

Hullo,   Initially, I planned to post this as an "April Fools" video, where I joke about making an "720p version of the LEGO Alpha Team intro" except the end result is poorly drawn and so poorly edited you can literally see that half of the intro was recorded in GIMP. The only reason I'm not bothering to disguise it as an "April Fools" video is because... well   ...this video ain't fooling nobody. It's more of a parody of the intro instead of something you can trick your

The mistakes of "Art Battle" and "RRU Tower"

For the past few weeks (well, it WAS  a few weeks when I initially wrote this. I've come back to it a year or two later to fix it up and publish it), I've been thinking about Art Battle and RRU Tower, specifically thinking about why those threads fell apart/flopped. I know both AB and RT are dead, and most members involved in either threads are barely active on this forum, but still I'd like to provide my thoughts about why both of them might've failed and what would need to be changed/fixe

How to (momentarily) hate LEGO Worlds

1. Play LEGO Worlds on a computer not built with Gaming in mind (a Mac with VMWare Fusion will do) 2. Play and enjoy the game until June 3rd comes around 3. Realise there is a game update, ignore it 4. Go onto the game, take a couple of screenshots or explore or something 5. Try and see what the game is like with Motion Blur on 6. Restart the game 7. Encounter LARGE amounts of like (nearly One frame every Two seconds) 8. Adjust the Video and Effect settings to the lowest possible 9. Rest

You can't read this...

...that is to say, 'you cannot read this unless you highlight, adjust your screen's brightness/contrast, have good eyesight, are le717, or copy this text onto a white background'.   And yes, this post was made to practically waste your time.

RRU is evolving...

It seems every time I go onto RRU's front page nowadays, in the topics and new topics section, I see at least one or more reading "I need help getting ___________". I'm not saying it's a bad thing to respond to these topics, but do you what this is turning RRU into?   A help desk.   A frickin' help desk, and I don't think that's what RRU really ought to be, although I'm not quite clear what RRU should be like. if you have the time (and wish to, I ain't forcing you) respond to the poll above

Ben24x7 tries out the Playstation VR, twice

So recently, a relative of mine spotted that my local GAME(TM) store was allowing people to try out the Playstation VR Headset for 10 or 30 minutes. Despite the CEX Vive tryout "fiasco" I underwent a month or two ago, I felt that now was the time to get my first taste of roomscale VR. So to pass the hour 'till my train left for home, I dished out fifteen quid and within three minutes I slipped on the sleek white goggles...   ...but I know some people don't have the time to read all of

Ben realises an insignificant link between the Infomaniac and a YTP of Michael Rosen

As unfortunate as it is, I've gotten back into Michael Rosen, mainly YTPs of him as usual, and I found one named "Michael Rosen stops celebrating 25 years of seizures". Its just a stupid fiesta of random out-bursts of song, insignificant amounts of sentence mixing, and so forth. But the reason why I bring this up, is that I couldn't help noticing the bit at 1:21, where Michael shuts an "invisible door" only to crash while emitting a *BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*; https://youtu.be/1uhwh8

"Behind the Virtual camera" - The shenangians beyond my renders

Hullo all,   Over the past couple of months, I've been looking at my past LEGO Source Filmmaker renders and discovering how untidy or buggy it has become over the past year. So today I thought I'd put together a collection of pictures/screenshots, all based on strange behind-the-scenes stuff and bugs that have plagued my past renders. So here we go!   "Blended Minifigures" Everytime @Xiron updates his pack of SFM/GMod minifigs (even if the model's rig isn't edited),

How to get Rock Raiders to work on VMWare Fusion

This is a quick (and hopefully simple) guide to getting Lego Rock Raiders to work properly on VMWare Fusion; - Go onto VMWare Fusion - Install LRR, but if you have ignore this step - Click on the Windows Start - Open up "All Programs" - Look in the "Games" folder - Open "Lego Rock RaidersTM" (DO NOT OPEN THE STANDARD OR ENCHANCED VERSIONS, AS THEY WILL NOT WORK) - A "Mode selection" window will pop up - Change the Device selection from "Direct3D HAL" to "RGB Emulation" - Cli

Taste of Music

Todays topic, music... Music is like... like... how do I start? It is like a book, it can be good, exciting and joyful at some points but then there are the bad parts of the song. It might be fast, slow or just right. Every one has a different taste. Say someone liked Orchestra (such as me) and someone else likes rock, someone likes techy noises in music, etc... Music allows the feel of happiness, sadness, all different emotions to come to the mind. It doesn't even matter if the music is a n

Shameless insignificant(ish) notice: Currently selling #6950 (Under a Day left for bids)

I've recently decided to sell some LEGO, and have put up two sets for sale on eBay (one of which has currently been purchased), but before I begin I must point out that the set currency of the pricing is in UK Pounds and Pence, which won't help since I'm guessing most members on RRU are not in the UK, and if it's true, I dearly apologise.   "LEGO #6950 - Classic Space - Mobile Rocket Transport"     For people wondering why "LEGO City - The Mine" is off this list is because it just got sold

How to become a gold member (the other way)

1. Create an account on RRU and make a few posts, leave your account for 1 year 2. A year later return and you might find yourself a Silver Member 3. Begin creating the 590 posts you need (also remember to attend one of RRU's anniversaries) 4. When you have 5 posts left to go, just spam and bump topics 5. You'll receive a warning (possibly several) from the mods, just continue spamming 6. Become a Gold member 7. Enjoy your five seconds of glory as a Gold member 8. Get banned from

I'm running a stream and I need viewer input

I know that, at this moment of time, most of the members in the US will be asleep, but could at least someone give me a suggestion for my mapping stream? You'll find the stream here; http://www.twitch.tv/fred_cop   And, yes, I'm getting desperate.

A deep talk to CleverBot

In a fit of boredom, I went and had a conversation to CleverBot and, as a joke, asked her to say 'Cake'. It listed random jargon the internet had been feeding it, but when I asked it about the internet feeding it junk, the conversation became deep,and it felt like a movie script;

The truth about how to be great content creation

There are a decent number of spam blog posts here on RRU. 'The truth about how to be great content-marketing' is one of those articles. The truth is, the key to content creation is to steal other people's work. For some people, ideas are created from the heart or the deepest parts of the creator's mind. For others, ideas are the 20 floor extension to what was a well constructed house. Here are some other truths about creation creating all creators should create. You don't need an origi

A little notification for future blogs

Well, I am back with a new motto; "Aye up! Heads up!" (Meaning 'keep a look out for strange things in the near future). Anyway, I have just received a physical PC/Mac edition of Valve's highly astounding (to me) Portal 2, a physics game originally used to show the usage of portals. I had a look over YouTube to see if anyone had made any reviews of Portal 2 and I found out about Zero Punctuation at the time. I watched Zero Punctuation's review on Portal 2, expecting it to be all about Portal 2,

The "secret" of how to make an RRU Fad

1. Create an account 2. Create a blog containing a bunch of random words and jargon that'll make sense to everyone who reads it 3. Watch as people parody your blog 4. Realise some people hate you, your blog posts and your guts 5. Hope for the Fad to end, only to realise that the Fad will be hung over your head no matter how hard you try and forget it 6. Start questioning if you are Human 7. Find that you only exist to irritate and bug people with unreliable blog posts 8. Suicide

The Lego Movie; Has it lost it's magic?

This Blog post is about two of my recent thoughts on TLM. Do note that if you haven't seen TLM (which, I would be surprised if you didn't) then be careful, because THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR TLM. So, with that noted, here are my thoughts: I think TLM has began to become a bore. People have seen it around once or twice (maybe even three times if you have any siblings wanting to watch it for the second or third time only to notice when the Movie ends that there is a skeleton wea

Film music+Game music and a special sneak peek

Hey everyone, I have some new music, some for the TUa Project, some for my Game project and an extra special piece for an upcoming video for YouTube. But I have something important to say first; I am sorry I posted this up again, especially since it is a pain to upload the music, but I really wanted to let you know that (like I have already mentioned in a Profile Feed post) I am working on something secret by myself. Of course you might be taking this in as a stupid excuse, if so then I defian

Leave or not?

Yep. A recent blog post by McJobless has noted my stupidity within my first posts: Linking to a website when talking about someone who had died, posting sound AVI's in random topics... *sigh* Then I came up with ideas (many of them were pretty stupid after all) which I posted up here. Later I realised there was a topic for project discussion, finding this out lead to many slaps on the forehead. Now I am thinking... Should I leave or not? It is my choice (until I get banned from RRU) to do so o
