Slashdot Mirror
Legodeath - Twisted Lego Constructs
Mooseboy writes "I searched /. and was suprised to find that there were no articles that referenced legodeath.com. This site has several lego mini-dioramas depicting torture, execution, domestic accidents, and other scenes of questionable taste. I've had a chance to see it, so you may commence the slashdotting!"
One of the funniest sites I've ever been to. Must begin project to "mirror" this site on my bookshelf.
I love it
Username taken, please choose another one.
That's gotta be a record
That site was so tramatic, I've 'blocked' it out.
yeah yeah..bad I know.
and watch hundreds of lego masterpieces burn and melt as the webserver on the adjacent desk has a small thermonuclear meltdown.
:(
Anyone have a mirror?
I mean, look at them, they're all smiling.
The site lives up to it's name.......
Hmmm... makes you wonder if the creator(s) of the site had some issues as children.
But who cares? It's funny as hell, right up there with http://www.stickdeath.com

Nope, the site kicked the bucket when I went to it, and I got FP.
Either these guys have too much time on their hands or have childhood memories they've blocked out.
Does anyone keep a record of how quickly a site has been /.ed before?
OK, it just loaded while I was typing this... gotta take a look.
...
OK, that's totally creepy. Utterly.
But funny.
It'd be cooler if they did action movies with the lego characters moving them like clay figures.
those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -isaac asimov
Theres no picture of a melted down server entirely out of lego blocks.... pehaps the slashdot effect will give them a new inspiration for they're site!
"Entropy is the bad-guy, and he is everywhere"
that is lego death!
That's strange, when I searched slashdot for it I found it right here.
:-P
Have you read my journal today?
Personally, I don't like it when things intended to shock, gross out, or disturb people are posted. Why not some _useful_ sites such as GrSecurity, useful for hardening linux kernels (the ACL system is nice). Incidentally, they just released a new version.
How about APC, a nice open-source free PHP cache. The CVS version is more and more stable each day.
Slashdot is "News For Nerds", not "News for the mentally disturbed". Let's try to keep it to useful/funny topics that are relevant to nerds, geeks, and the like.
Perhaps someone should start SlashWTF.org for news like this.

Loading up the Flash was annoying at first... but once it all loaded, I didn't seem to have to hit the server again. That's a plus in a case like this. I hate to just see an introduction page... and then nothing else because of a slashdotting.
Sex - Find It
Now what would be nice if the designer of these works of art actually sat down with a CAD software for Legos, such as MCLAD, and nicely worked out all the specific designs, and determined the best view-points, then rendered them with POV-Ray...
Maybe it's best most engineers aren't really artists per se...

I used to love Halloween. Why? Fake blood. Oh, fake blood is corny usually.
:P
But with fake blood, I could stage huge medieval battles with my lego men-at-arms, and actually have blood along with the decaptated/disarmed (hah! disarmed!)/etc. lego bodies.
The one thing I was annoyed at was that the horses couldn't be dismantled. You know, I should just hack the head off one of them. Lego Godfather, anyone?
... that it's also the death of his server.

perhaps it hasnt been on slashdot before because theyre pathetic compared to the other useless but nonetheless amazing lego stuff out there...

How ironic that a site called lego death is killed by the many bricks that are slashdot users
Microsoft IIS is to webserving as KFC is to healthy eating
I've heard of servers literally melting down before although not nearly as much today. But how exactly would something like this happen?
I mean from my experience a cpu can only worky as hard as it was made to. I mean 100% of the cpu would be utilized and it would run a little hot. It doesn't suddenly operate at 130%-200% through dynamic overclocking (as far as i know that doesn't exist) or something of that sort. You would just busy up the server and everything would run really slowly.
Hmmm... Pie...
No...I didn't really say that...go read some other comments or something.

Hearing about this site reminds me of PC Gamer Magazine's "Corporal Dan" movies, where staff member Colin Williamson animated a Lego character dispensing justice, Charles Bronson-style. But a few months ago, when I did a search for Corporal Dan, I came up with nothing.
Perhaps Legodeath has some clues to Dan's whereabouts, but with the site slashdotted, who knows?
Children are issues.

Anyone who enjoys death, psychotic violent imagery, or gore has serious mental issues. Wether it be with legos, video games, or pictures.
It is likely the people who created this are using it as a cry for help, and I pray they do not manifest their violent thoughts in ways other than lego. Hopefully they will seek the professional help they need.

Don't worry, I'm sure after this, you'll find this site referenced many times on /., sometimes even referenced a couple of times the same day... :-)
This site has several lego mini-dioramas depicting torture, execution, domestic accidents
Should be: "This site has"
At least that's what I'm getting.. a site.. that has... mirror plz?
With the recent sniper attacks, and the epidemic of school shootings, this site is in bad taste. Promoting violence on any level, even the imaginary, is just plain wrong.
but without the boobies.

How dare you make fun of the anti-Microsoft Nazis....see they already modded you as flamebait... for pointing out that it is yet another lego article... Note... if you had said it was a moon-landing conspiracy or Patriot Act privacy conspiracy, you'd have been modded up as insightful.

You need to check yo' use of da queen's anglais fool.
but having the mental capability that most of slashdot has (and you probably being american and ignorant to the english language) already knew this.
Who or what already knew this? biznatch!!
Ok this is going to sound strange.. but the site seems to be down.. unless I try to view it with a browser other than IE (using 6 SP1). Which, if this is how it was intended, is a cool solution to the /. effect IMO.
When the flash finishes loading. . .it will be time for you to leave.

Not only do they rock, but they have gay fantasy novel illustrations on their album covers so you can jerk off to pictures of naked orks while you rock.
you really do deserve points for originality. Or at least for giving us a condensed version of what everyone else has fucking said.

I would like to visit this BoringDot.org. I cannot imagine a slashcode based site where the stories are never funny.
Oh, wait....
It's a pity that (apparently) sincere opinion in the parent is labeled a "troll." Did the modder notice that the story's author was actually soliciting opinion??? Or merely object to the parent's fairly mainstream opinion? (Not that minority viewpoints, if sincere and explained, should be censored.) I mean, what sort of reaction are we to infer is correct -- "Uhhh, good use of the new #6781 black Legos, but I think the site's HTML is kind of weak."?
/. modders who don't like "liberal" complaints?
Maybe the poster's silly, maybe I don't even agree. But if the Lego work is free speech (yes), let be the critique. There is a lot of criticism on here of suppression of free speech by governments (China/filtering, U.S./DMCA), corporations (Microsoft), and individuals. Why so little of intolerant
Save your mod points for +mods. M2 this waste of time "unfair." [/rant] Ah, that helped.
yeah, kind of. I'm the real victim here- nowadays fucking her is kind of like throwing a hot dog down a hallway!
Some people are so bad at using computers, that when they read /. with moderation points using Newest First to sort comment threads, they don't realise that a comment they see farther down the page that's similar to one they've modded up earlier in the page was in fact posted earlier than the one they modded up. To cover up their ignorance, they mod the earlier posts as redundant.
/.
Here's one such example. I was the first to bring up that LANL was using the cutesy Shuttle cases, so I brought it up early in a blantant karma whoring attempt. It back fired due to moderator error of modding me redundant, when in fact, I was first. Oh well. Anyone who sucks so bad in life as to actually have mod points gets my pity. They probably couldn't speak their mind if their life depended on it. At least I get paid to surf

Apparently a while back an artist, with the unknowing assistance of the LEGO Company itself, created a mock series of LEGO Holocaust sets. The story is quite interesting, and the sets are easily the most disturbing LEGO creations I've ever seen...

how about a link for those of us who are "non-Free-plug-in-challenged"???

Yes, that's why I continue to read slashdot; I don't get enough questionable taste in life, particularly where it deals with plastic toys.
Ok, I'm all for plastic toys, but I'd really prefer if people kept the questionable taste to themselves. Not all geeks are actually _demented_ you know.

I don't think this is so scary or funny at all.There's only one picture and it looks like a blue puzzle piece, not a lego block.

Sex and violence. Thats entertainment. Here a LEGO sex link: Lego sex. I was surprised that Bill and Monica weren't portrayed.
Now I know what Saddam Hussein did with Lego when he was a boy!

This reminds me of 4 years ago when my own Lego-death scenes made the /. front page. You know, back when /. was fun to read still. Unfortunately, the server they live on is having a little net problem right now, else I would put up another link...

to my mind is: The Brick Testament. The Bible in Lego. As anyone who's really read the Bible knows there's some disturbing stuff in there. Seeing some of that material in Lego makes it even more troublesome.

Whaddya know. A quick list of leftists with fairly accurate numbers blows the living shit out of the numbers you happened to pull out of your ass. My numbers are off the top of my head, but I think it's fair to say leftists have murdered more than just about anyone else this century - and all in the name of "progress", too.
You're a typical leftist - too fucking stupid to even make up numbers killed for your "enemies of the common man"'s atrocities that top the numbers that your heros demonstrably murdered.
Please get an RMA on your brain. It's obviously malfunctioning.
Or are you really willing to hold the leaders of the PA and Hamas and all the other Islamic militants to your standard? Or do they get a free pass to get on a bus full of children, look them in the face, and them blow them all up?
"Quoting documents from Philippines intelligence services, The Sunday Times said Osama Bin Laden's lieutenant, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, planned on killing the pope with a pipe bomb planted in a park where John Paul was to speak, or if that failed, with high-velocity rifles equipped with laser scopes."
Which part of the Vatican's opression of the Arabs could have set off those peaceful Arabs who want nothing more than to be left alone?
Is it the Vatican's armies oppressing millions of Muslims under its heel?
Is it the Vatican's extreme pro-Israel policies?
Maybe it's the Vatican's actions to strengthen any sanctions on Iraq?
After all, we know that Islam is a religion of peace, right? That the only reason they're forced to blow up three-year-olds is that those three-year-olds are specially trained Zionist commandos that will slit the throat of any Palestinian the minute anyone with a vocabulary of more than 15 words isn't looking, right?
Don't forget the lego nazi concentration camp sets by the Polish artist Zbigniew Libera :

I agree with the "old" list - Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein. Toward the end, Heinlein became too self-indulgent. Not everyone agrees with his libertarian views, but it seemed all the smart people in his stories did. At the other extreme, in his final ("Robot & Empire"?) stories, Asimov became a pinko commie - he said that robot rule Zero was "the good of humankind transcended the good of any one individual". This reckless disregard for individual liberties - the "I know what is good for us, even if it hurts you" attitude - is the source of many of many autocracies that caused such tragedies in the 20th century. I couldn't buy that! Maybe there's a story in overcoming the smothering benevolent dictatorship of the robots. (No, wait, Jack Williamson did that in his "humanoids" series.)
Other very interesting authors that I loved:
- Poul Anderson and the poleseotechnic league, the Terran Empire/Flandry series.
- Niven and Pournelle, separately and together.
- C.J.Cherryh - very realistic stories; very absorbing. After reading a novel, you stop and say "was that all?" You want more... and she's still writing them!
- Vernor Vinge - for sheer imagination and boldness and an eye to the future, this is the guy to read. Come on, Vernor, type faster!
Let me be iconoclastic; I loved Star Wars (and hated it) because it was the first movie that truly understood what the universe was like. One star system was NOT just a short flight from another, the distance between stars was vast. (Then Empire Strikes Back came out and showed that the new, substitute writers were as scientifically brain-dead as the rest of Hollywood). I hated Star Wars too because it was too cutesy and slapstick. Alien and Blade Runner were more interesting and provocative, but face it - without Star Wars, would they have been made?
Star Trek? (Old or new) - I hated more than I loved. The original was moderately intelligent, considering I grew up with "Space Family Roinson" too. But it suffered from the same Hollywood disease - every episode was settled by a fist fight between Kirk and the baddie (OK, I exaggerate). I know it's expecting too much for Hollywood to consider that intellectual issues instead of fist-fights make good story lines.
If you can't assume what people are thinking, what can you do?
