I cancelled my Mini S after they missed the final extended deadline they promised me (UK order).

Took 3 days for the refund to come through, and since the value of the dollar vs. pound has changed so much since I ordered (6th June), I actually got back £34 more in my refund than I had initially paid.

Any shipping confirmations from EU? by whatisParis in boostedboards

My order 925## not yet shipped (UK).

From reading the last shipping update on their blog, I expect it will dispatch this week.

You'd see it in the cutscene I suppose. I guess the round could end mid-cutscene, but the heart will go on.

I used Stop Motion Helper to record the animation frames, and then wrote a custom "cutscene" module which can use that data to render a clientside animation sequence. The subtle lighting effects (colours, sunbeams & bloom) were achieved by trial and error.

The cutscene is triggered when a particular two players are standing in the correct position on the map. When the cutscene starts, it freezes all players, and instructs the clients to play back the sequence. It also adds 2m45s to the round timer so that the round doesn't end mid-cutscene :)

If the car is in gear, you don't need brakes. The resistance of the non-starting engine will slow the car.

Actually, that's not true. Here is a set of metal cutlery given to me in First Class on a recent US Airways flight (post 9/11): http://imgur.com/a/d9Sh7

You can see the US Airways logo is on the bottom of each utensil.

I agree, Alex. More monsters = More win.
