Runescape was the shit in like 6th grade. Legos were the shit until I got into high school.

Yeah Runescape was pretty awful. I still think Legos are neat, mainly because I have lots of childhood memorys of them and stuff.

Look what this one guy made out of them. How is this even possible!

You think thats cool? Here in Australia i went to a department stores toy section and they had a massive display for projects like that battleship. On two seperate occasions i saw displays that would go in the 'jaw-dropping' catagory:

A pirate ship with 3 decks and easily 100 cannons (what would have been called a '1st rate' to use the old english designation).

And, just after the first Star-Wars lego sets were released they had a display of a full Imperial Star Destroyer!

PS: I still have an old lego pirate ship of my own, had it since i was like 8 or 9. I 'bribed' santa 100 bucks for it

. It took me an hour to put together and all of ten minits to destroy it again...

Lego is most fun when your smashing it.

As for runescape, yeah I played it, I still have my account, I used to use it to talk to friends overseas, occasionally still do during holiday events, but I eventually I just added of those friends to MSN.

I used to be really into lego and stuff but I got the lego Death Star a year ago and never finished it...

Ah well

Lego is amazing! I'm with RelinQ, I think there's no real age restrictions for lego. It's really limitless the stuff you can do with it too. I'm sure I'd still be making it if I had it anymore. I think all my lego went to my little cousins when I finished high school, or something like that... sigh... the memories...

If I could buy shitloads of lego without terrifying the women in my life, I would.

^ LOL! Good point!
Yeah well as much as I like my lego, I dont tell any of my female friends about it.

even women agree that Legos are the shit.

I really like RuneScape! I think you and me are the only ones here, though. Heh.

As for Lego, yes, I used to play with it a lot when I was a kid. I even have a friend on RuneScape who's a huge Lego fan, and goes to all those shows and shit.

Wyndninja · Post by **Wyndninja** » Sun Apr 26, 2009 8:24 pm

Well anybody who plays RS add me im Piraka825612.

Runescape has nothing on The Elder Scrolls, or TR.

I have many legos still gathering dust in my room because I have no good place to store them. I abandoned run escape in 2006 after I grew tired of luring noobs into the wilderness.

You just don't understand what "the shit" means.

Dumbass.

WELL maybe I didnt realise until now, I misread what Lady said.

That is really annoying to explain to international students. Also, "bollocks" vs. "the dog's bollocks" and words like "badass" etc. We suck at coming up with positive words..

AWWW YEAH! legos are the bomb! i once tried to make a scale model of the taj mahal but never finished it.....*sigh* all those memories =w=!

I'm sensing a transatlantic divide over the correct pluralisation here.

fstony · Post by **fstony** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 3:03 pm

3 cheers for Legos. Wish I had a garage, a lot of free time, and a bunch of Legos. Not much chance of that, though.

Good point, gro-Dahl. So the Danes say Lego, no matter what?

I used to be massively into Legos. I would beg for new sets all the time and built the things like mad. I broke the finished products so frequently when playing with them that I learned to reassemble most of them from scratch without instructions. I have a handful of somewhat rare and sought-after Star Wars sets, which would be worth some money except they're out of their boxes (obviously) and I'm not willing to part with them.

I don't get the disagreement with pluralization, myself. One brick is a lego. More bricks are legos. If my understanding of English is correct (and I would hope it is, seeing as it's the only language I speak), things that are measured by quantity use a plural form for more than one (i.e. one brick or a lot of bricks) whereas things that are measured in volume do not (i.e. water or a lot of water). I would think that Legos fall in the former category.

MMMowSkwoz · Post by **MMMowSkwoz** » Wed Apr 29, 2009 7:50 pm

But in Britain Lego isn't the name of the block, it's the name of the product. I would call one brick a Lego brick, not a Lego, and the plural would be Lego bricks.

I remember going to Legoland when I was (much) younger. That was awesome.

The legoland in demmark is even better.

Its interesting that you should mention that, Lego IS the brand name and is used as such in England, Australia, and the USA for sure (and no doubt everywhere else). But still refer to my whole lego colection as my 'legos' as a generic pluralised title... But like you i DONT refer to an individual piece as a 'lego', its either a lego brick/block or some specific name that i came up with in acordence with its dimentions (seriously, i gave almost every 'type' of brick in my colection a unique 'title'

)

Legoland rules. My rich aunt lives nearby in Ascot so I used to go a lot. Good times.

I believe its actually spelled legoes.

I believe you are wrong.

Also, I have a case of those that I never opened. Who wants them?

Friends, Tamriel Rebuilt Lego style. Now that would be awesome.

I spent a month in Denmark last year (one of the reasons my showcase took forever to finish), Anyway I totally agree.
That Legoland..., there is NO better one than that. I must have spent like a good 2-3h just looking at all the acuratley portraied european castles and major cities through the globe.

I have a good 100+ photos so maybe I'll post some up later.

Awww... I was in Legoland (Denmark obviously) at 1999, so I remember nothing...

I only have a few photos.

blackbird · Post by **blackbird** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 12:47 pm

I've been at Legoland in Denmark too, although I was there at 1998. And it's really awesome!
