This is an image from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Something looks a little different than what you'd normally expect to see in the latest installment in Valve's online game about counter-terrorists shooting at counter-terrorists, though. No, I'm not talking about the heads-up display.
We've already seen the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. Here's the LEGO version.
Lego bricks are generally awesome, and by all accounts The Lego Movie, opening this weekend, is as well. So we thought we'd make sure the folks at Lego didn't get too full of themselves by reminding the world of the worst toys, figures and building sets they've unleashed upon the world. Warning: Construction ahead.

Sure, you could buy official Lego and official nerdy trading cards for franchises like Batman or Star Wars. The toys would probably be well-made and exactly what you'd expect them to be. It would also be booooring.

We've featured LEGO recreations of Nintendo hardware on Kotaku before, but I've never seen anything quite this authentic.

YouTuber Kooberz has a ridiculous collection of Legos, and he uses it to keep us entertained. This time, he's upgraded his Lego Wii to a Lego Wii U, complete with GamePad—which he actually built as a shell for his iPad! How cool is that?

A

"8-Bit Trip," according to its Swedish creators took 1,500 hours to animate. They pay respect to everything from International Karate on a tape drive to Tetris on the NES, with Pong and Pac-Man in between.

Props to the builder, and…
Reader cashius22 spotted this and I can't resist. It's Lego, and it's Indiana Jones and therefore, it is on-topic.
