Have I mentioned recently how much I like LEGO? Didn’t think so. There’s a LEGO strategy game coming out for the Nintendo DS. Think Age of Empires, but with LEGO! It’s called LEGO Battles, and it starts out with Castles, then Pirates, and finally Space! You build buildings, and they’re LEGO buildings. Then you buildContinue reading “On a New LEGO Video Game”

On LEGO Cars and Standards
A LEGO car came in my box of Cheerios. I’ve had it sitting on my desk since Friday. It came preassembled. I’ve rolled it back and forth. It came with stickers. That seemed odd. I’ve taken the car apart. It’s three pieces. Premolded pieces. A wheel piece in black. A body piece in yellow. AContinue reading “On LEGO Cars and Standards”
On Rainy Saturday Thoughts
There are fonts that I like. And there are fonts that I do not like. Among the fonts I do not like: Comic Sans Garamond Times New Roman I should say that I don’t just not like Garamond. I outright hate Garamond. The problem is that I spent years looking at resumes working as aContinue reading “On Rainy Saturday Thoughts”
More on LEGO Doctor Who!
I want LEGO Doctor Who. I want it, want it, want it! I really, really want it! Fortunately, lots of other people want it, too. And someone put the question to none other than executive producer Julie Gardner. Why no LEGO Doctor Who? The answer? “Doctor Who needs to be bigger in the US toContinue reading “More on LEGO Doctor Who!”
On New LEGO Games
Let’s be upfront, here. I love LEGO. 🙂 I also love the LEGO video games. Though I haven’t played LEGO Batman, so I don’t know if that’s good or if it’s crap. That’s okay, though. It looks like Travelers Tales, the development studio behind such hits as LEGO Star Wars, is looking to develop moreContinue reading “On New LEGO Games”
On LEGO Beatles
In the annals of the “strange, but cool,” I have to submit this — LEGO Beatles album covers! Yes, several of the Beatles’ classic album covers have been done in LEGO. I really like LEGO A Hard Day’s Night. 🙂 There are some talented artists out there. These are amazing, if that’s your kind ofContinue reading “On LEGO Beatles”
On March’s Greatest Hits
I haven’t done a search phrase round-up in a while. Let’s take a look at the top 20 of March. 🙂 20. “Jason Gronberg.” A friend of mine. He passed away in November. One of my favorite memories of Jason. 19. “Napoleon.” One of my favorite sparring partners in Age of Empires III. Except forContinue reading “On March’s Greatest Hits”
On LEGOs I Don’t Want
Using the power of Google, someone wanted to find information on “Lego Minifig George Bush.” And that brought the person to me. Specifically, to this post on LEGO videos, including LEGO-fied versions of the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Halo 2 video game trailers. A post where I used words “LEGO” and “Minifig.” Minifig,Continue reading “On LEGOs I Don’t Want”
On BrickJournal
I love LEGO. No surprise there. Others decorate their cubicles at work with action figures. I have LEGO TIE-Fighters. If I could figure out a way of getting the USS Constellation to work safely, I’d decorate my cubicle with that, too. (Maybe in the spring, when I have a new cubicle on the fourth floor.Continue reading “On BrickJournal”
On LEGO Doctor Who
Six weeks back I wrote about the need for LEGO and the BBC to put their heads together and bring out a line of Doctor Who LEGO sets. Apparently, I’m not the only one to feel there’s an obvious need to be filled, as there’s an entire thread at TrekBBS on the subject. Interestingly, theContinue reading “On LEGO Doctor Who”
