LEGO Kong rolls and clanks his way into our hearts

At this point, we're already convinced that you can make anything out of LEGO. Gaming icons? No problem. Game rooms? Easy. Hardware? We can do it. The games themselves? Anything is possible, including, apparently, a working replica of a classic, recreated brick by brick. LEGO enthusiast Dan Kressin built this incredible replica of an iconic Donkey Kong screen, complete with barrels barreling (as they do) toward a(n oft-) jumping Mario. Sometimes he misses, but that's okay -- he has heart. The best part for DIYers? Kressin detailed most of the process.

If the barrlels in the real game moved that fast, I don't think anyone would ever win.
