Slashdot Mirror

The cult recently opened one of their "temples" in California (of course). They have many local churches.

Like the Scientologists who have their "e-meter", these lego freaks have their or psuedo-technological props. They even have an mystic Oracle that you can ask questions on the internet. And just like the leader of the Scientologists, their leaders aspire to be JRR Tolkien. Not only that, these foul fiends have the temerity to rewrite the Bible.

And they are Holocaust revisionists, too boot

They worship strange, vile gods. And are building machines to take over the world.

glad his kid's old enough to start digging on Legos

Wow -- you've obviously never read a choose-your-own-adventure book. Those are a blast. We're talking printed paper here: now that is simple and deterministic.

Also, I don't imagine that writing a good choose-your-own-adventure is easy. I don't know if this one is actually good, but for the sake of argument... it's like writing a book, but with the twist of exploring a wider set of plot possibilities.

A friend of mine wrote a wacky online choose-your-own-adventure that was quite popular back when the web was young. If you're a bit freaky the game is a real blast. I happen to know he spent months and months on it. There is no reason to think that 10 dollars for a well-thought-out game of this type would be a rip off.

And the idea that deterministic entertainment is inferior is kinda nuts -- nearly all entertainment (books, movies, music) is deterministic. You might want to give games like this a chance before trashing them.

Cheers.

(Sorry 'bout the double post, but Slashdot made me anonymous for some reason?)

This site always cracks me up.

I had (and dearly loved) piles of Legos when I was little, but most of those came as hand-me-downs in buckets. Maybe we can convince the folks at Lego to stop spending as much effort in producing new, specialized blocks for new, specialized sets with fancy graphics on their boxes and start selling things in buckets.

On another note, I bet that if someone were to set up a PayPal account to donate to the Lego corporation, that the mobs of Lego maniacs out there would be able to generate a significant amount of money for them.

Hmm really, I don't follow Leviticus that closely anymore :-)

I dont feel the site reaches the same level of artistic expression that something like the brick testament does

Yes, but the great advantage of the 'Creation' program is that it will only take six days to write...

It's like a moderation point from someone whose opinion is almost as valuable as a real moderator =)

someone more clever should think of a joke about the author scrapping his entire codebase a couple revisions later...

The following links are a necessity when a lego story is posted on /.

brick testament
lego pr0n :)

A few weeks ago I stumbled across this great site.
Lego Bible stories! Even for non-religious types, the cool photography and often hilarious captions make for hours of entertainment.

If you want irreverent, look closely at the figures in the background of the first image in the Flood story.

(there's not supposed to be a space in 'flo od', I don't know why Slashdot is putting one there, but the link works)

The guy in the striped shirt is a mime, but his face is too blurry to see that it's painted white. And yes, that's Jar Jar back there, and a guy in a tree stump, and an unfortunate sheep...

How about this fellow? Equally scary, yet interesting . . .

The Brick Testament

Very funny, if a bit irreverent . . .

Check out The Brick Testament

Complements it quite nicely.
