lego gekkos scare the crap out of minifig snake

lego-gekko-1

MOCPages member/MGS fan/Brick master Rags naRock made cuter versions of GEKKOs, the nimble, creepy, bovine-like killing machines in Metal Gear Solid 4, and they just make me wish for a LEGO Metal Gear game.

Check out the rest of the pictures, they’re a real treat. It’s nice how Rags naRock got their poses right. Watch…

the lone wanderer in brickville [fallout 3]

fallout 3 lego

With all the attention Borderlands is getting, I feel it’s important to remember that other futuristic game with important vaults: Fallout 3. And what better way to remember anything than with LEGO?

And, of course, the best thing to immortalize in brick from from Fallout 3? The two-headed mutant cattle (and shotguns). Add in a Deathclaw and I’ll…

world’s largest lego mario up for auction: its’a huge

worlds_largest_lego_mario

This unbelievable bit of geek art is purportedly the largest LEGO block statue of Mario ever created. It sure looks like it to me. And it’s definitely WAY bigger than this one.

The mammoth LEGO Mario was created by Dirk VH, and is made up of over 40,000 individually placed bricks. All in all, Mario…

technabob quickpix: when a picture is worth 1000 words

lego control concept: why did it take so long to come up with this?

lego_tv_remote_fueled_by_coffee

Of all of the universal remotes out there, this LEGO-brick-inspired concept design is my new favorite.

briiiiicks in lego 4 dead

lego left 4 dead

Four brave survivors must stand against the tide of an undead minifig army. Armed with few weapons, two unfortunately bald heads, and a bag full of snappy one-liners, they will repel the brick zombies.

Alright, take a moment to admire the beauty and detail. From a distance, this Lego rendition looks pretty good, eh? You’ve…

heroes aren’t born, they’re made . . . from lego

cubedude-prime

If there’s a reason why most things that come from Pixar are so geek-friendly, it’s probably because most of the people at Pixar are geeks. Take Angus MacLane. He was the Lead Animator on WALL-E, which was well received by most geeks for obvious reasons (robots). But MacLane’s real geek cred is proven by his line of…

legotron: light cycles speeding down the block

lego-tron-lightcycles-1

TRON is one of the most famous geek movies of all time, and what better way to pay homage to the film than with another geek favorite? Flickr user/blocksmith/80s baby (I suppose) 2×4 created these neat LEGO light cycles and even posted step-by-step instructions on his Flick page.

They’re not as fancy or as detailed as…

lego brick usb hub is doing it wrong

I see what’s going on here, a device with a I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-LEGO case, nothing new. Everyone seems to be crapping brick gadgets these days.

giant lego aliens are somehow cute

lego_aliens

Aliens: not just for bursting out of your chest anymore. Now they’re in your LEGOs!

The titular aliens from the Alien films are, in my opinion, right at the top of the scariness chart, which means I never, ever thought I’d say anything based on their design was at all cute. And yet, I find the little…

that was fast: shadow complex in lego

shadow complex lego

Shadow Complex was released for XBLA fewer than ten days ago, and not only is it hugely controversial, but it’s also got a LEGO tribute already. And you thought something like Grand Theft Auto IV made a splash.

Aww, even the guns are adorable!  You’d never guess that people have been arguing about boycotting this sweetly…

lego + halo + rvb = awesome

lego_halo_spartan

I can’t imagine how much time it took to build this intricate life-size LEGO Halo sculpture.

LEGOholic dm_meister based this LEGO block sculpture on the sociopathic Sarge from the Halo Red vs. Blue machinima series. He says that if he were to build the rest of this Spartan’s body, he’d stand over 6-foot 5-inches tall.…

lego rock band brings the house down

lego rock band

Just in case you forgot about LEGO Rock Band, there’s a brand new trailer here to remind you, and to educate you on the epic and destructive fun of replacing traditional demolition with rock.

The little scene that takes place during this gameplay clip is amusing, but it’s really the details that stick out to…
