Slashdot Mirror
Metal Gear Solid's Rex & Ray in Lego Blocks
IllogicalStudent writes "Justin "Saber-Scorpion" Stebbins has created lego models based on themes from Metal Gear: Solid, Metal Gear: Solid 2, Star Wars, Halo, Lord of the Rings, Mechwarrior, and others. His work with the Metal Gear: Solid series, especially, have gained him recognition from Hideo Kojima himself."
Is there some kind of hand soap you can use when this happens?
It is too bad that LEGO decided to stop making licensed series because MGS would have made an awesome set. I'm not a big fan of paying $200 for the KUBRICK MGS set... Grrrr...

He's definitely going to need a job to pay for the excess bandwidth generated by the /. effect.
...I can imagine thousands of people reaching for the "Mute" buttons on their computers.
His skill with Lego is unfortunately not matched with his skill at website design. The coolness of the Legos definitely dwarfs the javascript, though.

Is this thread conclusive proof that /.ers are nerds that couldn't get laid if we tried?

But the LotR ones are pretty weak. Minifigs with the character names under the pictures doesn't quite cut it in my book.
He made them look -exactly- like the game looks on my old TV!
It wasn't slashdotted when I first looked at it, and I'm not a subscriber. So i can only assume a greater degree of the slashdot populace is out getting laid right now than previously expected.

Anyone who includes the stats of their level 16 Ranger in the "About Me" section of their website needs help.

As far as I can tell, all he's done is make a few customised little lego men. When I clicked the article, I was expecting life-size or at least moderately detailed models. Something like this... that is to say, something equally deserving of frontpage recognition. If I was the guy who'd made Han Solo, lifesize, I'd be disgusted to see this article at the top of the page, frankly.

...though i'm sure a ceast and desist letter from Hideo Kojima was a flattering (and terrorizing) part of the lego-maniac's experiences in the world of metal gear mind-control conspirancies and plot-ran-amok.

From the Mechwarrior page:
...
"The Timber Wolf is based off an old game I have called Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries"
and when I click on my beloved Timber Wolf, he says:
" I based my LEGO Timberwolf off an image taken from Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries, and old game that came with my oldest computer when I bought it."
Ouch.
Man, I can remember when Mechwarrior 2 was the reigning champ and Mercenaries was the new kid on the block that my friends and I were unsure whether we liked it as much
Oh yeah, and those Lego 'mechs aren't that impressive.
[SIG] It's like putting a moose in the blender -- a recipe for disaster!
When building the original levels for Metal Gear Solid the design team used Legos to see what the area's would look like, they didn't do the same for MGS2 because its maps were heavily 3D(Compared to the first game which had very flat levels) and the complexity was too much for them.
