His name is Matthew, and he was born different…

LEGO have asked me to help them celebrate the 30th Birthday of the LEGO miniman. It is with great pride and joy that I present to you this special episode of MeatSpace. “Living in MeatSpace”

This special episode of MeatSpace was created to both help launch the celebrations and to inspire people wanting to tell stories and adventures of their own in the LEGO Universe.

A very special thank you goes out to LEGO for not only making my childhood a joy, allowing my imagination to take flight and allowing me this very special chance to be a part of celebrating the anniversary and birthday of the LEGO minifig, without whom my more than 50 LEGO animations would have never existed, I’d have missed out on a hell of a lot of fun, and my childhood imagination may never have grown so wonderfully.

As part of the celebrations LEGO and Gizmodo are running a contest that will give you the chance to win some of the most awesome LEGO sets in history.

Keep and eye on
gizmodo.com and
GoMinimanGo.com for more information.

GO MINIMAN GO!

This is very very cool, one of the first real detailed previews in what we can be expecting in the “LEGO Universe” game on it’s way.

I’m of course, very excited about this project and can hardly wait to see it done and have a bash at it. Seems like such fun!
