Who wants to hear about the time I inadvertently created a video game?

Not so long ago, in a house that is either near or far away depending on your position relative to it, I was on Lego.com, just browsing around, when suddenly, I got a random survey. So I filled it out, and came to the final question, something along the lines of "What is one thing you want to see added to Lego.com," or something like that, anyway, one of the options was "other" with a blank space I could fill in. So, like any 10 year old, I filled in an idea so imaginative and wonderfully stupid. "A game where you can build your own house, vehicle, character and explore a whole Lego City." Not expecting them to do it, I sent the survey, and went back to looking around. A couple months later, I heard there was a new Lego MMO coming out. So I looked around online and read about the release of Lego Universe, so like any 11 year old (yep, I grew a whole year older in those few months) I wanted to check it out. So, I downloaded it, got into the tutorial and... oh, I can build my own character, cool, I think I remember putting that on that survey... and, uh... wait, I can build my own vehicles (a rocket in this case), weird, I swear I remembered filling that out in that survey, huh, cool coincidence... anyway... umm, ok, I can build my own house too, I definitely said that on the survey, cool... and it's open-world... wait, I inadvertently made my own video game, didn't I?

And that's the story.
