Professor Fox and Jet are O.K. But what will happen to the pilot? To Be Continued LEGOLAND City. A city to live and play.

OH GOODNESS. I laughed more at the last part more than part 9. Excellent job, Pereki. I could not have stood playing that game for however ever long you played it (all day, a week?). I have enough spending two hours messing with the LPs I've done. Next up: LEGO Friends 1999.

Thank goodness the LP is finally over (I hope?), it was a painful entertainment to watch that.

GORM LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP *repeatedly shoots with missiles at point blank range* Also oh my goodness. I just googled the name of the lead designer, Nick Ferguson, and...

Alright, let's say you are in some sort of situation or place and either feel you have nothing to do or are just bored, you can "excersize" your creativity. First of all, look for something that catches your eye. It could be furniture, architecture, etc. Now you've seen it, think of how you could recreate it in Lego Bricks, you don't really need a pile of bricks in front of you, just use your mind. It doesn't matter if you are thinking in terms of Minifig scale or real life scale, just as long as you are thinking how you can put together the object/room/etc, then you are at least using your creativity to think of not only how the bricks connect to make that fascinating shape you need to make, but also what works and what doesn't. And best of all, when you think up a Lego impossibility, you can rethink it without having to take time to deconstruct a real model. If you are done, and still have time, you could do it again but with a different object. I'm posting this up here because I don't think I can fit it into a Profile Feed. Still, I hope this is interesting to other people.

Well, I think that for the first time Jamesster's magnum opus, the LEGO Sin spess trylogggy, has a serious competitor. Not that Lego Island 3 is anywhere near his level of genius, it's far less avant-garde, but when people like Jamesster set the bar so high, even something halfway as brilliant is notable. I must say, from watching this video, that the physics system is one of the game's highlights. It seems like the spiritual successor the Island Extreme Stunts engine, particularly the superb jet-ski race system. It feels like the creator took that system and ran with it. And people say Lego games lack reality. Pshaw! Also, I should add that while this is far less avant-garde than Jamesster's work, it still has some rather nice, perhaps "postmodern," touches. The first of these is the name, which is a great comment on the obscurity that befalls so many of the works of man in time. A diehard Lego fan will realize that a third Lego Island game exists already, but most of the public will not. Another touch that delighted me was how much the car, having flown off into the wild blue yonder, resembled a small fly, or some such insect. This is another great comment on the transience of human works, a sort of twenty-first century "Ozymandias." All in all, I cannot wait to play this game. I am already so enamored of it, I feel that it deserves not two thumbs, but a full two hands up. Simply breathtaking.
