Build ‘em up
So according to Google, today is the 50th anniversary of the Lego Brick. Legos used to be my favorite toy; my parents once bought me one of those 2000 brick sets, and whenever we went to Toys ‘R’ Us or Pic ‘n’ Save, I would always get a small vehicle kit to fool around with. For a while my favorite PC game was actually Lego Island. I don’t know what it was about that shitty game, but I spent hours and hours driving my pizza scooter around. If I recall correctly, I did everything that could possibly be done probably five times over. I even almost named my dog after the main character. Perhaps my old love for Legos is what made me get into Perler Beads and Pixel Blocks. Building something big out of a lot of small things is just fun, no matter how old you are.
