Lego goes MMO too

The march of the branded worlds continues, as Lego taps NetDevil, makers of Auto Assault and Jumpgate, to create a virtual world about, well, Legos.
It should be interesting to contrast this to Roblox, which is, well, also an online block building environment.
BTW, I am here at GDC, and my schedule looks like hell. Constant meetings. We shall see how much blogging I manage to do. I did do an interview for f13 today, about the games biz and whatnot — and one for Business 2.0 about my laptop (hey, it’s for their “gear” section). Now I am off to dinner, which is another business meeting. I think I will barely get to go to any sessions. *sigh*

Talk to you later. Going to Buca di Beppo for the IGDA Chapter Coordinators Dinner.

I’m curious what you guys think of this ‘Home’ thing Sony is pushing. It might be a flop, but it sure looks interesting. (I think its the first thing *at all* about the PS3 that I found even remotely interesting)
I had a friend who came up with a Lego MMO idea back in the early nineties (before we called anything an “MMO”). I remember him very enthusiastically describing it to me. Too bad this wasn’t his project.
Hey, but as I like to point out, ideas are cheap. You make something, or you sit the heck down. 🙂
You should tell your friend that Roblox is hiring…
