[QUOTE=st0rmforce;34725727]Why does the word Lego[b]s[/b] drive me nuts? I can't think of any other stupid pedantic things that get to me like that does.
Whenever I see somebody say it, I want to shout "IT'S LEGO! THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS LEGOS!". But I don't, because I'm not entirely insane. I just silently seethe.
So if these are legos:
[img]http://www.kotancode.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/lego_bricks.jpg[/img]
Is this a lego?

I thought it was a lego brick.
Where did the word legos come from?[/QUOTE]
Maybe because we're used to adding an "s" when there's more than one of something to pluralize it, nah.
34.99 for that? No thanks. I'd rather go buy a huge bin of real Legos for that price and make my own minecraft world.

Because saying LEGOs is easier and faster than LEGO bricks. I am tired of all these idiots getting pissy over nothing.
Go tweet about it

Genius.
Finally an 'ad' from a company not saying "Hi buy our product" and that does not include:
- Generic CEO reading generic lines not written by himself
- Generic eye-catchers and generic product highlighting
- Fake smiles and fake joyful voices

Then instead imagine i said "Meanwhile at LEGO HQ."
why is this even a thing
[QUOTE=LCBADs;34726752]why is this even a thing[/QUOTE]
Because a group of people [B]WANTED[/B] Minecraft themed Lego.
Don't ask me [I]why[/I] they wanted that though.
[QUOTE=Moby-;34725501]It's "LEGO" where do you idiots get the extra 's' from?
And stop moaning about the price, you don't HAVE to buy it.[/QUOTE]
America. Its where the 's' in "maths" went.

I kinda want them to make a live-sized version..
these should come with a free copy of minecraft.
[QUOTE=bigbadrick;34727698]these should come with a free copy of minecraft.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that'll be great for all seven* people that don't own it.
[QUOTE=st0rmforce;34726130]Yeah I know that, I meant the letter 's'.
I had a google around and it looks like Americans just decided that a lego brick is called a lego at some point in the last few decades and it stuck. So in the US, a pile of bricks are legos. Everybody else uses lego as a mass noun, so a pile of bricks is lego.
To us, "playing with legos" sounds as weird as "playing with sands" and to an American "playing with lego" is like saying "playing with brick". Weird thing, language[/QUOTE]
I know the proper term is "lego" for both singular and plural, but that's not really a good example. It's more like saying playing with cards, or playing with dolls.

Guess what: In the free market, you're allowed to make fun of people for selling stupid shit.
Don't do it for notch you guys.
Do it for Psychonauts 2.

Adorable.
Time to [i]dig[/i] through my insanely huge Lego collection and build that set myself for free.
FACT: Lego is the worlds largest tyre manufacturer
anyway, Looks pretty boring, would be a nice ornament on a desk or something but other than that, pretty shit, literally

So, their royalty is 1% and they donate all of it, or they're donating 1% of the royalty to charity? If it's all of their royalty getting donated, I'm actually impressed by something they did for once.

It's also just a bit too big to fit into the "house" from the looks of it, sadly.

Jeb erasing the "S" when he typed in "LEGO" was a nice touch.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;34728941]Is anyone really surprised?
It's an obvious rushed project just for money grabbing; the only thing that has anything to do with Minecraft is the branding on the box and the creeper face. And they'll still sell every single piece.[/QUOTE]
Eh, the only reason why this got off the ground is because the community voted for it on the Lego website. It's pretty awesome that it actually happened.
And now you're all complaining.

I doubt any of us complaining voted for it on the website, or if we did, we expected way more than this, especially for that price.
EDIT: Although seeing how they set it up in "modules" makes me wish they made them much cheaper and had a bunch of different little kits (possibly customizable), which might actually be fun to put together into one big world.
