The Ultimate Gaming Table

Posted by timothy on from the this-is-not-at-ikea dept.

Johnzo writes: "Wow. Dude's built himself a super-deluxe custom gaming table, with built-in coasters, dice pits, a sound system, lamps for each player, glass inlays for handouts, books and paper storage, an elevated miniatures battlefield, privacy screens for each player, and (best of all) an under-table tube network using hollow gravity-fed balls to deliver secret messages to players. The only way this could possibly be cooler is if he used pneumatics to deliver the messages."

      It seems so from here. Not only am I getting slow page loads and occasional flat out denials - I'm also getting "wierdness" - like changing my threshold inside the article and being dumped back to the front page.

      Perhaps the game table guy is pissed at being slashdotted and mounted a DDoS on slashdot itself?

      Yeah, looks like Slashdot has Slashdoted itself today. Karma I guess.

      That's what happens when "rock-solid enterprise ready" MySQL (sense the sarcasm?) pukes on itself. It happens all the time around here. It's just that slashdot loads a cached version of the front page to mask all MySQL errors or when the DB shuts down.

      Bastard mods dropped me two points for "Offtopic". I really hate when legit meta-discussion gets pushed down as noise, makes me feel like I'm being censored by the Slashdot Police or something.

    Will the insipid and pathetically redundant "It's slashdotted!" comments outweigh on-topic comments by more than 2:1?

    That won't help with a slashdotting. The requests alone will swamp the server.
