Soon, friends who see that you're playing Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network won't need to sit idol-y by -- they'll be able to join in. LucasArts has tweeted that it's working on a patch that will bring online co-op play to the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the latest Lego game on the block.
What's more, the publisher has also confirmed that the patch will let players collaborate in the game's level editor, tweeting, "In LIJ2's new co-op, you'll be able to join others as they build and play their levels." As for timing, LucasArts says to "give it a few weeks" before the update is transported by submarine from Cairo toa secret island base Microsoft and Sony's servers.

can anyone explain to me why playing a game as a lego is more fun than just playing a game?

I dunno. I'm actually dying for a regular Indiana Jones game. Harrison Ford and all.

What they should do is let both people play as Indy. Star Wars lends itself well to playing different characters, but nobody fucking wants to play as Shia Lebeouf.

Dang, I guess they'll just have to cancel Lego Holes:The Complete Saga, than.
