Working Donkey Kong game made of Legos
There’s nothing wrong with obsession, except when it leads to stalking some actress outside of her Beverly Hills mansion every night. Otherwise, though, obsession channeled in the right direction can lead to cool things like a working Lego version of the arcade classic Donkey Kong. Take that Calvin Klein.
