I do! I have Lego sets and I like to build and play with them. You might think I'm crazy but I like Lego. And you don't say Legos because the word "Lego" in dutch, means play well. If you say "Legos" then you are actually saying play wells in dutch!

And I entered the skyscraper contest, the YTV power miner contest, and the trivia contest! And I also enter FPSC contest like the FPNSC contest, the FPSC scifi contest, and the the mod contest! (I think)
So how many contests am I working on or entering? 7! Or 6 if I exit the Mod contest.

And now to ask you. Do you play or build Lego?

I can't texture. I'm not an artist.

How are the legos innovative? It's the people using them that are.

Based on how you spelled "random", you are still old enough to play with them (just kidding with ya)


When I was 5 I sorta played with them, and I also entered a couple of lego robotics competitions when I was a little older. Unfortunately the computer with all of the programs we wrote to load onto the main "brick" crashed, and everything was lost.

Don't say Legos. Read the first post and you will know why.

The other day i bought the lego mindtsorms set for £150. its essentially lego robotics, theres a 32-bit cpu you can program either using their drag/drop programming IDE, or by using C/Java. If you search "lego mindtorms", or even just "lego" on youtube, you'll get some AMAZING stuff.

I know. I want it. Is the drag and drop programing IDE easy?

Its really easy. When you get to complicated stuff it becomes annoying, but its still easier than C(which is also pretty cool).

I was a huge fan of Lego as a kid, especially the Technic and Mindstorms sets. Its actually an incredible piece of kit, I've been contemplating buying the NXT kit for a while now.

Here is a interesting example of Lego Technic and a standard air compressor:

I like lego Indiana Jones, agents, castle, creator, batman. But I only have one set of Lego Batman because my parents always said wait, wait, wait, wait. And now they don't sell it anywhere!!! I'm scared all the lego agents missions will be replaced with the new ones!!! And I don't have 1 set of it. I wanted alpha team but my parents kept saying wait and now it's gone. And ebay sucks because there isn't some sets I want and if there is they are expensive.

I want a new computer!

You know Bullfrog used lego when designing Populous, they'd build little towns and flood them to get an idea of how to handle natural disasters and stuff. If it's ok for Peter Molyneux then it's ok for us, just remember to have an excuse for playing with it.

When I was a kid I loved the stuff, usually just made little cars with my brother and did crash tests to see who's was the best .
