🎮 It All Started With a Switch and a Dream

Hey friends! So I fired up my Nintendo Switch, jumped into LEGO City Undercover, and thought, "Today, I'm gonna be the hero this blocky little city needs." Spoiler alert: I was... kind of the hero. Also kind of the reason for half the chaos. 😅

You know how it is. One minute you’re excited to be a brave LEGO cop, and the next minute you’re stuck in a vending machine trying to figure out which button saves the city and which one accidentally launches a rocket.

🔊 Mic Check? More Like Mic Wreck.

Before we even got into the gameplay, I spent a solid 15 minutes battling my audio setup like it was a mini-boss. I sounded like I was calling in from space using a potato. 🥔🎙️ I’m pretty sure half my chat now thinks I’m operating a pirate radio station from the moon.

I tried whispering, I tried shouting, I tried sacrificing a LEGO minifigure to the tech gods. Nothing worked. Then magically—BOOM—it fixed itself. I have no idea what I did. Probably unplugged the toaster or something. That’s streaming life, baby!

🧱 Organized Crime, LEGO Style

Once we finally got rolling, the game wasted no time in throwing me into the thick of it. I was out here solving puzzles, cracking codes, and—whoops—accidentally robbing a bank. Look, Chase McCain might be a cop, but sometimes a little chaos is necessary. 😂

There was one moment where I was mid-chase, leaping over fences, crashing through construction sites, and then BAM—I tried to commandeer a LEGO scooter and ended up stealing an old lady’s wheelchair instead. Let’s just say she was NOT impressed.

💡 Big Brain Moves (and Some No-Brain Ones)

At one point, I had to take photos of suspicious characters without being caught. Easy, right? WRONG. I spent 20 minutes photographing lamp posts, pigeons, and my own foot. The only criminal I caught on camera was myself—committing crimes against photography. 📸😵

Eventually, I got the right shots, but not before the game mocked me with “NICE TRY!” messages every time I snapped a blurry squirrel. Shoutout to the squirrel though—he was kinda sus.

🚀 To Infinity and Bad Steering!

The mission that broke me: stealing a moon buggy from a space center. 🚀 Sounds amazing, right? WRONG AGAIN. It was amazing in the way skydiving into a volcano is amazing—terrifying but somehow fun.

First, I had to sneak past mechanics who apparently had superhuman hearing. One of them turned around just because I thought about sneezing. Then I had to press buttons randomly and hope it didn’t launch me into orbit. (It almost did.)

When I finally got to drive the moon buggy? It was like trying to steer a couch with shopping cart wheels. I went through at least four LEGO fences and possibly flattened a janitor. Sorry, Bob.

🤖 IRL LEGO Madness

Mid-stream, I flexed a bit and showed off my latest LEGO IRL creation—the Go X Key kit I grabbed off Facebook Marketplace. Total bargain. Total chaos.

I installed a sound sensor, a light sensor, and a little bumper hook. When it bumps into something it goes, "Hello!" and then turns off the lights. It’s basically smarter than me. I half expect it to apply for a driver’s license next week.

💔 LEGO Soap Opera Break

If you thought LEGO games were all fun and bricks, THINK AGAIN. Suddenly I’m eavesdropping on a couple breaking up because someone didn’t trust someone’s diary. Yes, DIARY DRAMA in a LEGO game.

The man read her diary. She didn’t tell him. He found out from her LEGO journal. I was emotionally invested. I wanted to sit them down with tiny coffee mugs and sort it out.

🚦 Side Quests and Side Comments

From noodle bar stakeouts to pretending to be a criminal just to get into a gang, I was juggling identities like a LEGO James Bond. Half the missions made sense, the other half felt like fever dreams.

There was one mission where I had to climb onto a roof to spy on some shady deals—and I ended up in a chicken costume. No idea why. The game never explained. But I committed to it.

😎 Wise Words from Chase McCain (and Me)

  • "Let’s see if this did the trick." — Said after every random button press.
  • "I'm just a simple robber!" — Me, yelling at NPC cops as I escape in a stolen ice cream truck.
  • "How do I drive this thing?!" — A constant question during every boat, car, or moon buggy mission.

🧠 Lessons I (Probably) Learned

  • Always check your mic BEFORE going live.
  • LEGO old ladies have no chill.
  • Moon buggies are not street legal.
  • You can be a hero and a menace at the same time.
  • Sometimes all you need is a chicken suit and a dream.

🎉 The Grand Finale (or So I Thought)

After a whirlwind of missions, mini-crimes, and one very dramatic car chase that ended in a fountain, I wrapped up the stream with a heartfelt thank you to everyone who stuck around. Y’all are the real MVPs for enduring my accidental crime spree and frequent driving catastrophes. 💖

👋 Until Next Brickin’ Time

If you haven’t played LEGO City Undercover yet, you’re missing out on one of the most ridiculous, funny, and surprisingly emotional games ever made with plastic bricks.

Thanks for rolling with me through the chaos, the comedy, and the technical catastrophes. Same time next week? Bring snacks. And maybe a spare moon buggy.
