LEGO® Sonic Mania™: from Idea to Retail Set
LEGO® Sonic Mania™: From Idea to Retail Set Sam Johnson’s first reaction when he saw that the LEGO Group may be designing a new set based on SEGA’s® beloved Sonic the Hedgehog™ was elation, that was followed quickly by a sense of dread. “The first game I had was Sonic the Hedgehog,” said Johnson, who is the design manager on the LEGO Ideas® line. “So immediately that kind of childhood connection kicks in and you have all these nostalgic feelings of, 'I really hope this goes through and I really want to be a part of it if it does.’ And then I had this dread of, ‘Well, how are we going to make Sonic?" Earlier this month, the LEGO Group announced it was in the process of creating a Sonic the Hedgehog set based on a concept designed by 24-year-old UK LEGO® superfan Viv Grannell. Her creation was submitted through the LEGO Ideas platform where it received 10,000 votes of support from LEGO fans. The next step was the LEGO Group reviewing her project among the many others that make it past that initial hurdle to see if it should be put into production. Johnson said he found Grannell’s build charming. “It’s so much in the vein of the actual video game itself which has this kind of colorful charm to it,” he said. “And it's not over complicated, which I really loved. Sonic has this real geometric design to it where the landscape is very stripey and you have these like square patterns on it. -
Between Technophobia and Futuristic Dreams. Visions of the Possible Technological Development in Black Mirror and Westworld Series
Agnieszka Kiejziewicz Between technophobia and futuristic dreams. Visions of the possible technological development in Black Mirror and Westworld series Jagiellonian University Introduction The dualism in perceiving the technology on the Western ground, not only as a blessing connected with the rapid development of the civilization but also as a possible reason for the future fall of the humanity, can be dated back to the literary works such as Frankenstein (1818) by Marry Shelley, dystopian Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)1 or Fritz Lang’s filmMetropolis (1927). However, it was no sooner than in the late 1950s when the discourse about the influence of technology on the society appeared in numerous forms of art. The writers such as William Burroughs (1914–1997)2, Phillip K. Dick (1928–1982)3 or the techno-prophet Marshall McLuhan (1918–1980)4 observed that to extend their perception, sensations and abilities, people cling to technology represented by various devices, what brings the humanity closer to the apocalypse the overused technology is to cause. The inspiration of the findings provided by the theorists in 1 See: Bloom, Harold, ed. Aldous Huxley. New York: Bloom’s Literary Criticism, 2010. 2 See: Hibbard, Allen. Conversations with William S. Burroughs. Jackson: University Press of Missis- sippi, 1999. W. Burroughs, alongside Jack Kerouack and Allen Ginsberg was a distinctive figure of the Beat Generation. He was the author of the novels as, later filmed by David Cronenberg,Naked Lunch (1959) or The Nova Trilogy (1961-1967), many short stories and non-fictional contributions. 3 See: Palmer, Christopher. -

LEGO Dimensions Quick! Memorize all these numbers. There will be a quiz later. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lego_dimensions.svg Math is Hard! LDU = LDraw Unit A 1x1 stud brick or plate is 5/16” or 8mm (0.8cm) The height is 6/16” or 9.6mm (0.96cm) To make the math easier, LDraw designers came up with the LDraw Unit (LDU) Everything is a nice, easy integer this way!

It concludes that a new genre—Ficta—arose especially with the work of Michael Crichton. The Ficta novel is a fiction novel based on a real scientific problem, often one that can have or already does have serious consequences for our culture or civilization. The Ficta novel is a new way for the entertainment society to reflect on scientific theories, their consequences and meaning. -
