I had legos and this:
That's photoshopped. You can see the pixels and the shadows don't match.
Also, I had so many capsela, but my weather capsela was the best.
Mapping; where doth lie the root for interest?

I didn't have lego bricks and such**, but I would build things out of whatever junk/broken toys/scrap wood I could get my hands on. I also had Hot Wheels, and liked building complex tracks out of basic track components.
** Partially due to economics, partially because, since I expect I am older than the average around here, having huge collections of legos or a full erector set or such things was rarer at the time I was a kid.
So I think we should consider cause/effect here. Did playing with Legos create people who would later become mappers? Or did our mapping oriented brains find playing with Legos attractive?

LEGO is a hybrid contraction of two Danish words. No pluralization rules apply to it from any language.Not everyone's British.
It is "LEGO bricks"

why bother asking? It's like pokemon and runescape, everyone liked it at one point.
Just to prove you wrong, I have -never- touched runescape.
and I've never liked pokemon.

The two words are "leg god" which means good play

Yeah, that would be Thor or one of those guys...
Anyway, how many of you have visited Legoland, the lego theme parks?
leg godt, actually, and "play well"The two words are "leg god" which means good play
That's according to the big lego history book I got from the library once.
I dabbled, but got frustrated easily due to my poor manual dexterity. Had I been more patient, I'd probably have been more interested.

Lego's rocked my younger years. My only problem was that I could never achieve perfect symmetry on things like space ships and the like :|
LEGOS LEGOS LEGOS.
(waits for Youme's top to blow ) lol
Anyway, I think it's kindof a generations thing (the toys brought up).
My older cousins had the erector sets and some lego brix, I had lego... erectors weren't as popular, then lego started doing star wars...
But I never played runescape (we had D&D which is only cool if you are the nerdy dungeon master killing everyone off with some 'secret trap'. So much for that lvl 80 druid eh?)
Pokemon is like five generations younger than me.
But I think it is more of mappers just being a creative type, and toys like legos being a creative toy. I always liked the 'mature lego' sets with engines and they had plastic rods to tie stuff together (less brix) but unfortunately my parents were out of touch and always bought the kiddie ones they liked.

Everyone calls them legos so cry me a river. Q_Q
I still play with Lego...
It's a... "new age" thing to call them Legos.
It's sort of how lots of members of this forum have their names shortened when someone is talking to or about them. Boojum is Booj/Snark/etc, Nineaxis is Nine, The Magic Potato is Potato...
... You get the idea.
/me waits for youme to call everyone that says "legos" a whippersnapper.

Ah, that brings up another poll subject.
If you played D&D, were you a player, or a DM?
(Much DMing on my part.)

I never even touched my Lego set until I was older. And even then it became more of a customizable block dildo set rather than a Lego set.
