The Flaming C...in bricks

When popular comedian Conan O'brien, during his show, met with the renowned comic artist Bruce Timm, the clash of two great minds resulted in the creation of Conan's alter-ego: The Flaming C. A hero crime fighter created jokingly, wearing a steaming ovenmit, a jai alai glove, ski goggles, a Star of David belt buckle, socks with garters, fishnet stockings and loafers. In the months to follow, it would come as a surprise to everyone, even Conan himself, to see his alter-ego reproduced in a faux animated video by Warner Bros, and ultimately, a life-sized version was made by professionally certified lego artist Nathan Sawaya.

Giant Lego Man finally released from police custody

Back in October, this 8-foot-tall lego man washed ashore on Siesta Key Beach, Florida. Beach goers and the police department were perplexed at how or why this 100-pound lego man ended there, with nothing to identify it save the mysterious message written on it's green shirt "NO REAL THAN YOU ARE" and on it's back was the name "Ego Leonard" and the number 8.

Browser Game - Ninjago The Four Paths

Ninjago Four Paths I just love finding great lego games lately, so here is another one: Ninjago - The four paths was released as a sale booster to the series with the same name, the players only have to drag the mouse across the screen to make the figurine move accordingly. It is simple to play and has a great look to it, although, amongst the four paths, there is really only 2 types. I still appreciate the simplicity of the gaming mode, and for a browser game, that is a important consideration.

Show off those Ninjago dodging skills!

A black and white outlook of Lego City over lunch

This wallpaper is actually a reproduction from the very famous black-and-white photograph taken by Charles C.Ebbet in 1932. The photograph was taken during the last stages of construction by Ebbet on the 69th floor, it shows 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling several hundreds of feet above the New York City Streets. Another photograph taken by Ebbets the same day, Men Asleep on a Girder, shows the same workers napping on the beam.

Browser Game - Crosstown Craze

Crosstown Craze is a classic and simple-to-play lego racer game for the browser, with a great variety of cars to choose from. The game was designed to advertise on the lego racers kits, and specifically the crosstown craze kit. All the cars in that kit is available in the game, owners can unlock additional cars with codes from the kit itself or collect the yellow bricks in the race to unlock them for free. Overall, the game controls are simple and responds well enough. The races are short and therefore appropriate for this type of game  as a fun, and strangely addictive time burner.
