Since I’m running an older Mac here at home (too old to dual-boot or run VPC), my knowledge of Portal is limited — and reinterpreted — by the many LEGO creations the game has inspired.
Nevertheless, I recognize a good Weighted Companion Cube when I see one. Le’pena uses mainly Technic and Bionicle pieces to [...]
Christophe Bongay presents a comical diorama of the last seconds of Yamato combining a few of his previous creations. There are many unique aspects of this creation ranging from the block shark to the disproportional ship, which was originally built as a Metal Slug vehicle.
If you haven’t seen the recent Cave Racer fad taking over LEGO areas of Flickr, you must be living under a rock. If you haven’t played (or at least recognize) the epic game Portal, you’ve definitely been living under a rock.
Well, while trying to survive school, I decided to try my hand at a Cave [...]
The Silent Hill games are possibly the scariest horror video games out there, and that’s why I like them so much. Here’s a scene from Silent Hill 4, featuring a ghost and the protagonist, Henry Townsend.
Alex Kahler minimized the Hellfire Dreadnought from Warhammer 40k into a micro vignette at the same time keeping all the defining details, making the model instantly recognizable to fans of the game.
One of the things that got me into Star Wars back in the 90’s was the PC game Dark Forces (released in 1995).
Tim “RogueBantha” Goddard has created a vignette to showcase his microscale Moldy Crow (an older creation):
I wasted far too many hours late at night blowing stormtroopers away with the concussion rifle and avoiding [...]
At BrickCon in October, I learned about the Halo-inspired weapons and the M1 Garand rifle that Will Chapman of BrickArms was working on at the time (see First look at new BrickArms weapons).
Last week, I received my shipment of new 2008 BrickArms weapons, and I’ve been eagerly building and waiting for a break in [...]
Peter “Graznador” Aoun has captured the look of the adorable protagonist from Pixar’s upcoming film Wall●E:
Watch the trailer here:
And a bonus Super Smash Bros. scene:
Of the many Halo LEGO builders, only a few stand out as true masters of the theme. Tyler (Legohaulic) doesn’t need to prove that he’s one of them, but his recent grunt model further reinstates his talent in building in the theme.
Brothers Brick contributor Nannan’s Final Run “bignette” is featured in the current issue of the Official Xbox Magazine:
Congratulations, Nannan! Way to represent.
Janey Cook bought 10184 Town Plan recently (and you can too!), so she decided to incorporate a micro version into her fantastic micro layout. (Via MicroBricks.)
And here’s a bonus NES Controller Janey built:
We probably don’t showcase Halo works here on The Brothers Brick often enough, but this one was crying out for attention. The moment I laid eyes on this masterpiece, I knew what it was.
If you don’t recognize it, you must have been living in a cave somewhere.
Update (April 2): April Fools!
Justin Stebbins reconstructs a depiction of one of those memorable moments from the video game Assassin’s Creed when Altair takes the leap of faith from a high vantage point. I estimate the tower to measure somewhere around or over two feet. I hope the hay pile is packed nice and fluffy.
Minifig customizer Amanda (Brickshelf | Flickr) recently uploaded a great custom Kratos from the PS2 game God of War:
(By the way, people ask all the time whether the fan-created things they see on this blog are for sale, and the answer is almost always “No.” I would’ve highlighted this minifig regardless, but the answer in [...]
Reader Eric sends word of a great Legend of Zelda video on Kotaku (possible spoiler alert for the three of you in Uzbekistan who haven’t finished Ocarina of Time yet):
What I like so much about this is how creator Michael Inglis used all the right sound effects. Simple things like that make a huge difference. [...]
Two recent interesting news items are worth your attention. First off, Bungie is making a LEGO Halo video game based in the style of the popular Star Wars LEGO games. Wait, what? Click on the picture from the April Issue of EGM (1up.com’s magazine) below to read more:
Edit (AB): Sorry folks, the comments are starting [...]
Click on through to Penny Arcade for a “Glimpse into the Future.”
(Thanks for the tip, TBB banner designer Jeremy!)
My friend Paul sent me a link to a Kotaku post with a very cool video — a LEGO mod for Unreal Tournament 3. I love how everything clatters apart when it blows up. My only disappointment is that the weapons themselves aren’t “brick-built.”
Download the mod yourself from GameBlews.
