Good for this Lego man. He may not be able to sling it around as enthusiastically as all the Lego ladies would like, but man is he going to impress the other Lego guys in the shower. Until they ask him why his erection is up and bountiful. Then they’ll either be horrified or completely on board. That’s when it’s Lego Man’s time to shine.

What might be the best/worst game related Kickstarter in recent memory is some guy asking for $26,400, to build level 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. Why so much? Because he’s aiming for a one brick per pixel ration. Now, doesn’t that make a lot much more sense?

What might be the best/worst game related Kickstarter in recent memory is some guy asking for $26,400, to build level 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. Why so much? Because he’s aiming for a one brick per pixel ration. Now, doesn’t that make a lot much more sense?

Zachary Pollock, who calls himself “Zach the Lego Maniac” (Jesus f’n Christ), says the money is going towards 780,000 1×1 Lego blocks. The final product will also be over 6 feet tall and 90 feet wide, making it possible the longest Lego sculpture.

Pollock is getting a great deal of flack online for his request. Personally, I approve of this project, but only by the skin of my teeth. Granted, I’m way into Super Mario, Legos, and video game inspired art, and therefore love it whenever the combination shows up on Kickstarter.

But someone who crefers to himself as “Zach the Lego Maniac” in all seriousness is rather off-putting, sorry. Anyhow, at this moment, the Kickstarter is at $4,891, not quite up to the $26,400 goal, but he does have 20 days left.

Remember that dude who created the NES Zapper Transformer made out of Legos? Yup, that guy. Well he just managed to just top himself in the awesomest way possible.

The attention to detail on this Game Boy Transformer is pretty insane. Channeling the greatest Transformer of them ]]>

The attention to detail on this Game Boy Transformer is pretty insane. Channeling the greatest Transformer of them all, the original Soundwave, even the Tetris cartridge transforms! Not only that, but its creator, Baron von Brunk, even included batteries.

Hey, remember when Transformers, when not in robot mode, resembled stuff that was recognizable, lending credence to that whole “robots in disguise” slogan? Yeah, me too. And once again, Michael Bay can go screw himself.

We’re near the tail end of February 2012, so the last thing we need is another 2011 recap. But present it in the form of stop motion animated clip using Legos? There are exceptions to every rule.

The following was created for the Interactive Achievement Awards, held at DICE earlier this month It starts off somewhat slow, but a lot of ground is covered by the end…

I could name every single game highlighted, but that would somewhat ruin the fun. But I will take my stab at the one which has confused the most: I’m pretty certain the racing game is Forza 4. Spent plenty of time on that one, so the HUD is pretty unmistakable at this point.

Also, no Mortal Kombat? Would have been tough to realize, I know, but would have been nice to see a Lego fatality nonetheless.

Because the world is going at a rapid pace, and you honestly don’t have time to… you know… play the game as the designers had actually intended.

First is a brand new spin on the classic shell jump tricking from the original Super Mario Bros, but in his latest game ]]>

Because the world is going at a rapid pace, and you honestly don’t have time to… you know… play the game as the designers had actually intended.

First is a brand new spin on the classic shell jump tricking from the original Super Mario Bros, but in his latest game for the 3DS. Tiny Cartridge has highlighted three thus far, but this one is perhaps the best since it seriously requires zero effort…

Remember back in the original game, how you had to actually hit the jump button each time? Yeah… kids today don’t realize how easy they have it. Moving on, for those of you having troubling finding all the hidden loop in Uncharted 3, all 101 (spoilers, cuz only 100 is advertised), here’s a handy walkthrough, ya lazy bum…

The last one requires a little bit of ingenuity, plus Legos, but it’s well worth it. To nab that piano playing achievement in Gears of War 3, which normally requires 2,000 button presses, can easily be achieved with a robot. Via Make, the following “hits the ‘X’ button at about 67 times per minute, though I think only about 1/2 of them actually trigger the event. So more like 34 times per minute, 340 times every 10 minutes, about 2,000 per hour.”

Fans of Gears of War who wish they could run around their apartment/school/the streets/house of worship with a big ass gun, regardless of what your girlfriend/teacher/the cops/your preacher or rabbi (whatever the cast might be) may say, rejoice! Because you’ve got plenty of options.

First off, there’s obviously the official replica lancers that have been produced. You all saw the one Ice-T unveiled in his GOW3 unboxing video. Maybe I’m missing something, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere online.

There’s at least this GOW2 version on Amazon, with the cheapest being $425 (used). But for those who already have one, there’s also the GOW3‘s retro variant, for the far more sensible price tag of $400 (and brand new)…

Now, if you don’t have that much money to blow, but do have time, as well as access to a f*ckton of Legos, how about building your own, like this guy did. It even works! Granted, it only shoots rubber bands, but that’s still something…

BTW, for those who are truly gaga for Gear of War‘s guns, here’s some stats showing what’s most popular at the moment…

And last but not least, if you want to run around with a video game gun in the real world, but aren’t necessarily a fan of something so big and gaudy (plus heavy) looking, and are more of a fan of Mass Effect, how about this Nerf cannon that’s been redesigned to resemble artillery from that game? It’s only $249, via Etsy…

Once again proving that (A) there are people out there with waayyy too much time on their hands, and (B) there are people with way more patience than I will ever have, a guy named Sean Kenney took 200 hours of his life and built this 7-foot long, 250 pound ]]>

Once again proving that (A) there are people out there with waayyy too much time on their hands, and (B) there are people with way more patience than I will ever have, a guy named Sean Kenney took 200 hours of his life and built this 7-foot long, 250 pound Nintendo DSi out of a ridiculous 51,324 Lego pieces. Thankfully someone else with inventive ability created something called time-lapse video so we can watch him build it in just 48 seconds…

By the way, if you live in NYC you can actually see this bad boy at the Nintendo World Store at the Rockefeller Center.

If you have kids then you know they have some LEGOs, so how cool would it be to help them build something, a house, a fort, whatever, then out of nowhere spring this bad boy on them and blow the hell out of whatever they built?

If you have kids then you know they have some LEGOs, so how cool would it be to help them build something, a house, a fort, whatever, then out of nowhere spring this bad boy on them and blow the hell out of whatever they built?

Ogre is a “Tank” built around a Zamor launching system nicknamed “Hailstorm”. It uses three XL PF motors, controlled either by a standard PF remote, or by the on-board (black) NXT using the Hitechnic IRLink. It also has a small wireless “spycam” attached, so that the driver can “see” what the robot sees. The result is a lot of fun to drive around, and even more fun to watch it autonomously detect, target, and destroy loose LEGO targets.

Awesome…

For some reason I love it when people take large things and make smaller versions of them. Like those tiny little baseball and football stadiums and little NASCAR cars… I get a kick out of them. So it’s no surprise I think that someone making the Olympic venues out of Legos is pretty neat.

This display contains over 300,000 blocks and 4,500 minifigs. How cool (and sad) is that?

The Italians are known for crapty construction (I’m looking at YOU Tower of Pisa) but this is a new low. Some German “artist” douche put Legos in the holes in buildings in an Italian town.

The Italians are known for crapty construction (I’m looking at YOU Tower of Pisa) but this is a new low. Some German “artist” douche put Legos in the holes in buildings in an Italian town.

Crumbling walls in Italian town Bocchignano are being repaired — with Lego Bricks.

Sporting the denim overalls and checked shirt for this village was German artist Jan Vormann, whose approach centered on finding walls with missing bricks and replacing them with the colorful children’s building material.

The wacky artist was surprised to find how perfect the bricks fit the bill.

“At first I thought it would be a complicated procedure to fit the pieces,” Vormann said. “But as it turned out, the bigger plastic pieces were compatible with the smaller ones, and the Lego held itself in place without any glue whatsoever.”

However, the 25-year-old did admit that the colorful construction could not last forever.

“I tried to apply some glue, but, on the dusty patina of the stone, it would not stick,” Vormann said. “So I decided to just put them up like this, aware of the fact of erosion and the influence of weather.”

You may be shocked to learn that Legos in the brick walls of buildings aren’t a great idea. You may as well repair the walls with positive thinking or hobo cum, all the while making the same “artistic” vision of the temporary nature of life as well as how hard it is to be an artist and not eat the vat of hobo cum you’re using for repairs.

I’m also sick of Lego invading aspect of my life. These buildings, our superheroes, they even have their own independent nation within the United States borders! When do we say “no more”? When Lego Mussolini comes in and demands our blood? We must stop the Lego menace before it destroys us all!
