You guessed it. I have already built my second plot. I got my inspiration for this tree from Minecraft. It looks really good next to my house. I am going to start my third plot shortly which I am still debating on what to build next.

Building With Lego Online
Yup, I am like a grown up kid. I loved playing with Legos as a kid, and obviously I still do. Thanks to Michael Birke I now have something to do on my new computer that arrives today. You can now build stuff with Legos online similar to Minecraft.
I built my first plot this morning, and I am thinking of what to build next. I love how this lets you be so creative, and have fun doing it at the same time. I can't wait to start my second plot, third, fourth, and so on. I can see it becoming addicting already.
Well, you can check out my first plot, and tell me what you think. Can you create something better Leave your link in the comments below, or on Google +.

Lego Or Minecraft?
Today I started thinking about Lego Universe. The MMORPG seems to have basically dropped off most gaming sites, and blogs radars. I wasn't even sure if it had closed down already. The game must be doing pretty good that a new Ninja zone is being added, and it's the biggest zone in the game.
It just makes me wonder if an MMORPG was the right direction for Lego? What if Lego decided to make a Minecraft type of Lego game called Legocraft? Would they have more players play it than are currently playing Lego Universe? I know Minecraft is sort of known for its outdated graphics, and all but with the Lego name you would think the game would go even more viral than Minecraft.
Most adults grew up with Legos. I just think with all the variety of Lego pieces it would be twice as fun to make things in Legocraft than Minecraft. It would be similar in many ways with the blocky look, but also different in many ways. I am just curious what other players think?

Was PAX A Success?
That is a very good question. What is success? I know PAX was a success to me. What makes me think that PAX was a success?
The biggest reason is PAX opened my eyes to the world of gaming. I didn't realize that I had such tunnel vision on gaming. There are really alot of great games out there. I found plenty of games that ending up on My Top Five Games of PAX list that I never even had on my radar.
How do such great games never catch most players eyes? Are we influenced by what other players like, and don't give some games even a fighting chance?
A good example is Rift Planes of Telara, and Tera-Online. Both these games seem amazing to me. I plan on playing both, but before PAX it would of never happened. Why do I say that? It is simple. Seeing, and playing these games in person beats any videos, screenshots, or other media.
Another way PAX was a success was giving away free trials, and betas. I have heard of Lego Universe, and Fallen Earth, but never had the urge to try them. PAX made me change my mind. Currently I am playing the Lego Universe beta, and having a blast for a game that I thought was made for little kids. So was it the LEGO name, or what that made me think that?
I will also be downloading my Fallen Earth 30 day trial. After spending a little time at the booth the game seems pretty interesting. I like the idea of almost everything in the game is player crafted. I have always liked crafting, but since DAOC, and SWG the crafting in games hasn't really interested me. The game also plays more like a shooter which will be fun to see how that plays into an mmorpg game.
All in all I really enjoyed my time at PAX this year. It was my first time, and I don't see how I could ever not go to one again. It totally rejuvenated me, and 2011 is going to be a great year for gaming.
