    So let me get this straight! Instead of my son knocking down my daughter's masterpiece Lego tower, some anonymous greifer will do it?

    Oh yeah, I just soooooooooo have to subscribe.

  2. An MMO for kids? by earthbound+kid · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does anyone else think this is a Bad Idea? If there's one thing we've learned from Second Life, it's that left to build their own world from scratch, adults on the internet will make a lot of sex shops. Now, even if the Lego MMO is targeted for kids, it's also going to be pretty popular with people who played with LEGOs as kids, which means it's inevitable that the entire world is filled with nothing but boobs and wieners made out of CGI little plastic blocks.

    It's like, "think of the children," only for real this time, because seriously adults are going to fill Legoland with crap.
