    Isn't the maximum age for Lego the same as any other board game, 77 year old? Or is "This game is for everyone from 7 to 77 year old" only a french expression?

    The physics effects are client-side only.

    Physics effects usually are.

    The fact that it's listed on the main page under the update makes me think the effects are entirely client-side. In a source game, you might not see the EXACT same object movement as everyone else, but the general effect is the same.

    I want to throw blocks. I want to build shit and knock it over. I want to do this with people. The OP led me to believe this game is G-Mod with legos, but it seems that's not the case.

    I'm gonna wait for the update and see what people say before I buy these virtual Lego.
    My guess:

    Old blockland when you delete a brick it disappears. If this means other bricks wouldn't work, they would disappear as well.

    I'm guessing in this new version they still disappear from the server. But client-side you will see them flying around and whatever. This is why you can easily turn the effect off. It will not effect the game world at all.

    Uuuuuugh, but that video of the block falling and catapulting the other block counter this guess. Hmm. Unless. The block being catapulted is already flagged deleted. But since on client side it's persistent to the setting you put (3-5min or whatever) it can still be affected client side, but will have 0 effect on the server.

    20$ might seem expensive now, but think back at your Lego collection when you were a kid. How much money was in there? I know that over the years, through Christmas and birthdays, our family got in it for hundreds easy. Easy. Also, LEGO is LEGO. The blocks are blocks, or bricks. This said, calling them Legos should be one of these things that everyone knows is the wrong thing to do but it's more convenient and simple that way so we do it anyway.

    Fuck Blockland, I'm about to blow money on this

    I think on the old build the game was rendering every block on the server, whether you could see it or not, so that really bogged it down unless you were running semi-beefy hardware.

    Thats odd, the Torque engine out of the box only renders what you can see. Though honestly my computer at the time had pretty sub-par specs.

    All of the good Lego shit is built by adults anyway, most kids can't build anything worth a damn.

    People have written entire documents and created seminars on advanced Lego construction. Using bricks in so many unique and incredible ways, it's down to a science. Check that shit out.

    I never suffered the childhood tragedy of having my Mom throw out my comic books but I did have a similar experience with my Lego stuff. Years of buying Lego kits meant I had built up a big barrel of thousands of various Lego pieces. After I certain point, my parents stopped buying Lego kits because building random stuff was better anyway.

    At some point my Mom must've been possessed by Lucifer because she just up and threw the entire bucket away. Stalin himself would have succumbed to the horror of the loss.

    All this talk about Lego stuff makes me want to go buy buckets and buckets of random parts, make a Lego coffee table out of them, and then have a big hole in the center filled with hundreds of random Lego bits. It would be the best coffee table. Ever. Incidentally, is there any sort of secret place on the internet (aside from the obvious eBay/Amazon searches) that anyone knows of where thousands of pieces of child-like delight could be purchased for a reasonable price?

    It's important that you know that when I am forced to commit murder and theft to steal these, it's nothing personal. It's simply a result of suffering extreme tragedy at a young age. I'm sure your kids will understand. As compensation, I will construct a life-size Lego replica of yourself to raise them in your stead.
