Whenever i try the plane falls, how do i stop this???

[toaster99soke]

In object mode, select the plane and go into the game settings (PacMan icon). Make sure that the button "Actor" is disabled.

You call that a ****ing tutorial!? Are we seriously supposed to be able to see what the ****'s going on? What a complete waste of time.

It doesn't work for me. The ball falls, but it goes right through everything I place. What's up with that?

Try using the joints, they are a relatively new feature in Blender. Do a google search to learn more or check the Blender3D Noob 2 Pro wikipedia entry.
