Weekly Update - 5/22
Intro
If you're reading this, it means my mission has failed and you must carry on in my stead... Just kidding! It's really our Weekly Update!
Updates
So, in the past week we had some cool coverage of the opening of a new LEGO Store, courtesy of ferrariguy90. One of the story serials received an update. We also discovered some Summer 2009 set descriptions thanks to Gatanui.
Word on the street is that the Summer sets from other LEGO lines have been showing up in stores, so it's only a matter of time before the Glatorian Legends find their way to your grubby little hands.
Speaking of grubby hands, I sorted through my bag of prototype parts the other day, and everyone seems to want some of those. I can't understand why though, I mean they're just normal pieces in crazy color combinations that never should have seen the light of day. What's the big deal?
Oh yeah, and that contest I hinted at last week? Yeah, that was our Fan Created Games Game Design Contest. Go get coding, you only have until mid-July! Seriously though, we've been planning this contest for what seems like forever and it's good to finally let you guys take a stab at it. Should I give away some Prototype parts as prizes?
The FCG Contest isn't the only to watch for though, June is going to be jam-packed. I don't want to reveal our hand yet, but logic dictates that there will at least be an RPG Contest to look forward to.
Also, BrickFair gets even closer! We're trying to find a way to help members and staff organize things like carpooling and sharing hotel rooms. Anyone have any good ideas on how we should do it?
Speaking of LEGO events, I stopped posting BrickFest pictures. There seemed to be less and less interest (I mean really, it was a few months ago already). If people tell me otherwise I might post the rest though.
I think that's more or less all for now!
Mailbag
Do you have any favorite board games?
I do enjoy a good game of Star Wars Monopoly every now and then.
1. Why do you and the other admins normally log in anonymously?
2. Who is that in your avatar, if you don't mind me asking?
3. Is there any particular time that you usually log in to deal with reports?
1. To avoid being flooded with PMs whenever we're online (and it does happen, believe me).
2. That is a picture of me, as drawn by Schizo Kaita and colored by me. Apparently I'm a Sith Lord.
3. When I get to them.
Want to see your questions answered? PM them to me and put 'Mailbag' in the subject line. I'll pick the few I like the best and answer them in the next update.
Conclusion
Phew! That was one of the bigger updates I've done recently, and my third blog entry this week! It's amazing what some time off will do for you. Anyway, questions and comments are always welcome, have a great weekend all!
