Review: LEGO 2K Drive and Why Console Choice Matters
Rarely do I have the chance to test a game across more than one console. And let’s be honest with ourselves: Console Choice matters.
LEGO Master Australia: Because, really, We Are All Winners
Okay, some of us are a *little* more ‘winners’ than others… If you have NOT watched the Grand Finale of LEGO Masters Australia (which aired Tuesday, 14 May 2019) AND you do NOT want it spoiled for you–turn away. Click on something less ‘spoiler-ish’. Go check out Going For Galapagos […]
Art of The Brick: DC
There are only a handful of themes which truly stand the test of time. The kind of things shared between generations; dancing across language barriers; appreciated by any child, anywhere, anytime. Lego is definitely one. DC characters are absolutely there. Art is certainly there. And then whoa! You have someone […]
Sydney Brickshow 2016
Each year the Sydney Brickshow is an absolute hit with the kids AND the bigger kids. It’s a huge exhibition for Lego fans to show off their designs. This is not an official Lego show; these are fans who create displays that combine sets with free play – just like every spawnling dreams!
I Want … A LEGO TARDIS!!
Kudos to Minion Kellie for telling me about this one. For a limited time, BBC / Doctor Who (Australia) had a full size Lego TARDIS down at Bondi Beach (Sydney). Isn’t it beautiful? Doubly so- Lego AND Doctor Who. *sniff* I so want but considering the other Lego filling […]
Evil Genius Parent Tool #9 – Special Event Freebies

Review: LEGO Research Institute #21110
It’s frackin’ awesome! </end> I know, it’s 3 mini-figs in a cool scene, but there are some amazing bits and I love the ingenuity of the dinosaur skeleton. But the part that really made it for me – the instruction manual. Let’s start at the beginning: We received […]
Everything is Awesomely Evil
Have you seen The LEGO Movie? More importantly, have you figured out a way to get that damn song out of your head? Evil LEGO. Evil evil LEGO. Now let’s go shopping! But who would believe the evil intentions of the innocent LEGO brick? Well, for one – any poor […]
Quick peek at Ancient Greek
Evil Genius Inc is currently on mid-year school holidays. And it has not exactly been the best school holidays. We’ve had toxic paint fumes right outside our front door (always a joy during pregnancy), 10 days straight of rain, and then the spawnlings were hit with Slap Cheek (5th’s disease […]
Grandmas are Evil (Granddads aren’t far off, either)
EG Grandma has just left the building. It was a flying visit (hold off on the broomstick jokes, people) – EG Grandma extended a stopover in town from a couple of hours to almost 24 hours. Just enough time to visit the spawnlings, spoil them rotten, give them tips on […]
