Microsoft sends out Lego Windows Phone 7 mockup to executives
A helpful tipster hit us up with this little photo today: a Windows Phone 7 mockup styled of Lego bricks. The fake phone is apparently being sent out in real invites to real executives for Microsoft's upcoming sure-to-be-swanky Executive Event for Windows Phone 7 in November (not to be confused with the sure-to-be-pretty-great launch in October). Our question: where's the Duplo version for Windows Mobile 6.5? Alternate groan-worthy end zingers: "We suppose that puts a whole new spin on 'bricked,' huh?" "Where's the Technic version for Windows Mobile 6.5?" "Micro$oft? More like Blacktron!"
Today's most brick-tastic video: The UT3 Legoland mod
While we can think of other childhood amusements we'd rather see as the inspiration for a Unreal Tournament 3 mod (like a recreation of a Mighty Max playset, or something of the Fraggle variety), this Lego-themed map is pretty ingenious (and completely free to download). Composed entirely of fully destructible Lego brick structures and populated with Lego people (whose smug smirks you can blast off their tiny, yellow faces), it's definitely the world's most vivid simulation of what going postal in Legoland might be like -- and the cleverest map we've seen from the UT3 modding community so far.
