While I’m glad Lifehacker won for Best Technology blog at the 2008 Bloggies, I’m a little sad that Geekologie didn’t win. (And I’m downright pissed that That Night didn’t win the Best-Kept Secret Blog, but Uncle Crappy sums up my feelings on that quite nicely.) Geekologie often has some really cool, esoteric geekery that they mention from time to time.
They just mentioned a company called Brickarms, who will (for a not-so-small fee) completely outfit your lego army to make it the fourth most heavily armed (and smallest) army in the world.
One thing that becomes apparent to me pretty quickly: Legos have some /really/serious fans. Young and old, tactical assault planners, etc.
Custom figures, custom weapons, custom everything is available at Brickarms. My favorite is the Man with the Golden Gun as pictured above; James Bond never looked so good. (The golden gun, alas, is not available)
I am going to barely get this post in on time for Saturday, mainly because I got sucked into playing my recently purchased Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
The Internet is rife with reviews of the game, and I had heard high praise for the gameplay and addictiveness of the game. When I was in Costco today and saw they had combined the two previously separate games into one (Episodes I-III and IV-VI) I was all over it.
My Saturday night was spent reliving the horror that was Episode I, with the exception of the Darth Maul confrontation. That was pretty cool.
