No internet swatch time? Not very future proof.

I wonder have the Tested guys checked out the LEGO episode of James May's Toy Stories? I don't think the DVD is out in the US, and it is not on Netflix either, but it is on Youtube - split into 5 episodes starting here. He (and a team of helpers) make a whole house of LEGO - inside and out.
I'd test it out in a store. I'm guessing the issue is somewhat overblown.

blahhh!! Gary what cable were you talking about that you used in the car!?
Not sure where it's gone, but it was in the coming up box for 2 days, it kept getting pushed back. I assume it was scheduled but Will hasn't gotten around to doing it for whatever reason.

That's really sleek. I expected something a lot shoddier looking when I heard you guys talking about it on the cast.

Getting together with Will and Norm tomorrow for some LEGO practice. We will be building the VW camper van and the space shuttle! Possibly also Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.
Man I want to join in on the fun.
Dude, thats one irony deficit post.
Tbh guys, after the shameful Will Smith weird yelling passive thing in the CES show, it's soured my listening enjoyment.
What are you talking about? I must have missed something...

I still have no idea what this means. And I went back and listened to the episode in question.

I want to know what an "irony deficit post" is.
Having technical difficulties with the streaming setup at home. I think in going to have I reinstall Windows to fix it.
Sorry if my behavior soured your enjoyment of our show. All i can say is that sometimes what you think is going to be a funny rant comes across as just an asshole rant. When you're operating on a few days of <4 hours of sleep, you miss stuff that you might not miss otherwise.
This post is maximum irony insufficient

I'm about -this- close to getting a Nano for watch purposes. While that band looks sweet, $90 for just the band is a bit steep for my tastes.

Well look around their site, they have cheaper bands.

Their entire product line looks pretty decent, if a little heavy on the leather. I like that they all seem to use the same low profile design for 'docking' the Nano onto the band. So many other brands make it look really chunky and awkward, while the iWatchz seem to integrate the components nicely.

Hey, wassup Will! Good to have you guys finally. Your Lego challenge is getting me to start an Architecture set, I'm just trying to decide which one would look coolest on display...
And Gary, I noticed Gaghan wrote on your movie too, that's awesome! Did you work pretty closely with him or was it more of a re-writing situation? Very cool either way.

I was at a department store today. Based on the ridiculous size of the watch faces available that the girl behind the counter told me are amazing sellers, I'm surprised the company doesn't have watch bands for iphones.
I wish LEGO would license sports stadiums. A kid in Milwaukee made an amazing Miller Park from scratch, but a kit that made it look as good as the Star Wars stuff? I would pay unlimited dollars. I would pay unlimited dollars+1 for Lambeau.

Huh, that's a great idea, LEGO NFL stadia.
Absolutely. I actually just went to the LEGO site assuming they would have stuff like that, and nothing. Nobody pays more money for worthless shit than sports nerds. I just bought three shares of Packers "stock" this Christmas, I'll surely buy something as rad as a LEGO stadium and there are plenty of other fools out there just like me!

They could actually do a couple in their Architecture range. Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, etc.
I kind of dislike the architecture line. They seem to miss the point a bit, which for me is the construction. They err on the side of aesthetics, which I think is a mistake. If I wanted a model that looked like a replica, I would buy one. The half LEGO/half replica look I dislike.
I chuckled a little bit at you describing the feeling of "building" something Gary. I had just finished making shelves, a chalkboard and a toy chest for from scratch for a playroom and had the same feeling! Only took me and my dad a weekend, though, so clearly putting together a LEGO set is more impressive.

Stunning (but $200).
I posted this in the LEGO thread but I'll quote here as it's thanks to Tested.
Man I have the BUG!!!
been ages since I touched Lego as a kid, (Technics) and after listening to the Tested Podcast this week I grabbed a kit as I past it on a shelf in supermarket.
Just made it with my 2 1/2 year old, he loves cars and was GLUED watching and 'helping'
Now I want to get a collection together and make it a Sunday afternoon thing.
Any set recommendations guys?
Stunning (but $200).
Extremely tempted to buy that. Very cool.
But let's be real, nothing beat the early 90s pirate line. I had all of these and they were fucking RAD.

When I was a kid, I built my own Transformers out of Legos. You had to take them apart to transform, but they worked!

Yeah I am working up to the Robie House. Might do Fallingwater today. Just ordered the Farnsworth House too, really like the way that one looks.
