Lately, Bridget and I have been playing lots of Lego Star Wars on the Xbox 360. There is a hidden red brick on each level which once acquired allows you to purchase extra features (like invincibility) with the in-game money. I’ve been shooting for the 10X money extra and for the most part ignoring everything else I could buy.
Well with Bridget’s help we got the insane amount of Lego money to get the 10X thingie, twenty million credits! What helped is that along the way we unlocked and purchased the 2X and then the 4X money doodad. They actually multiply together, so it now collects at 80X the normal amount of credit drops. I did a quick run of a level that at the start yielded maybe 50K to 100K credits… yea, now I’m pulling 5 million on the same run. MwaHaHa!!!
Now we can unlock everything else in no time. So much fun!!!
If only there were an 80X money thingie in real life…

My good buddy Tom bought a very small Intel motherboard and on a whim decided to put it into a special case for his son William. I should say he built the case around the board, because he decided to go with Lego for the case construction material. More specifically, it is a Lego Imperial Landing Craft complete with Stormtroopers. Actually he had to buy 2 landing craft kits and squish them together to make it big enough.
Now he’s had some trouble here and there getting all the kinks out… but you can’t build a computer without running into a few bugs. I’m jealous of his results, as I haven’t had the chance to work on any such projects. No place to work, too much to do around the house, and ever so tired. One day though and I’ll make something similarly cool!
From digg:
His son might not be able to speak just yet, let alone use a PC, but that hasn’t stopped this intrepid geek from creating a cool computer for him. Built into an Imperial Landing Craft, flanked by Lego Stormtroopers, and driven by a trooper helmet shaped mouse, this PC is ready to take his kid to galaxies far far away!
