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.
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.
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

Either these guys have too much time on their hands or have childhood memories they've blocked out.
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?
Right now it's Serverdeath...

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.

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...
We have so much time, and so little to do - strike that! Reverse it. Tryn Mirell
... that it's also the death of his server.

My favorite has to be the one with the cannon. I literally fell out of my chair laughing at that one. I think I scared the cat.
perhaps it hasnt been on slashdot before because theyre pathetic compared to the other useless but nonetheless amazing lego stuff out there...

No...I didn't really say that...go read some other comments or something.

It would be nice to have these models as Leocad files so that we can make our own modifications and contributions. :-)

UserFriendly had this sight as a Link of the Day back in February.
The dogcow says "Moof!"
This IS funny. In my opinion. Huh. Maybe I'm not normal... you know, my boss doesn't read slashdot, and HE seems normal. Maybe it's a conspiracy. Dammit, you've got me WORRIED now. I'll just recompile my kernel, or upgrade to Redhat 8.0 or something even though I don't need to... that'll make me feel normal again... hey wait...
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... :-)
but without the boobies.
***General Consultant to the Human Race*** My opinions are free. You get what you pay for.
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.

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.

Harsh way of putting it, for sure, but you get the point. These things that happen to the US are horrible, horrible tragedies, yes, but i didn't see anyone in the United States skip a beat when the above things happened to other people. Many Americans have this kind of superiority complex, where they think they are the centre of the Universe, and that everybody else in the world should feel sorry for them whenever they are "picked on".
A submitter who claims he actually vistited the site before it got slashdotted! STOP PRESS! This is news!
Anyway, how can I get through that evil Flash gatekeeper?

LeoCAD uses the LDraw format.
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.

Seriously, though. None of you ever built these contraptions when you were a kid? I mean, not even once? Come on!
Uh... Me neither. Just-- just checking, you know. (shuffles away quietly)

Could you explain to me how you so conveniently leave out communist and other totalitarian atrocities, which are in much greater numbers? Not to mention the fact that some of the casualties you do list are questionable as being labeled genocide. The only reason I can see for this perversly skewed selection is that you hate democracy and the western world and want anything else to take its place. If you had listed a more balanced tally, it would have been interesting.
As it stands now it is just an attempt to induce emotional responses in people in line with some anti lberal, anti democrat sentiment, in the hope that the slashdot readership will only look at your info. Maybe it worked with poor peasants in North Korea who did not have the freedom of information to find out these things for themselves, but thankfully we can all get ourselves a more balanced view of the world than from the obvious troll that is the parent of this post.
It's pretty sickening to see somebody use other peoples death and suffering as an excuse for peddling the death camp of totalitarianism, which is by omission and obvious bias, what your post does.
I live in the United States, and i by no means hate the Western world, nor do i support socialism. I just think that the US has lost touch with who they are and what they stand for, and the fact that there are indeed other people living in this world.
>Israel (Palestinian Genocide): 100 000 Dead
What a load of horseshit. I'd love to see your sources (and no, The Guardian and The Independent don't fucking cut it). Yeah, the Israelis have made their share of costly mistakes, but this is plain ridiculous. What, they killed more Palestinians than the atomic bomb? Riiight. And WTF is up with the Vietnam - takeover failure business? What, it was all about oil or something? I guess everybody was _so_ much better off under Communist rule. Or perhaps you learned your history from Noam Chomsky (only).
And you didn't see anyone in the US skip a beat did you? I mean, you _have_ heard about this thing we like to call 'the left', right? The Americans may be self-centered or arrogant, but I'm not sure how that excuses the sort of despicable statements you're making.
I don't mind getting modded down for this (which I know I will be), I just wish people would address the actual points I made (I can just see the European responses now: "Points you made? You, sir, are an idiot. Americans/Jews must die"). And once again, Arab News articles and other racist state propaganda are _not_ acceptable sources.
And don't even get me started on the Americans being the 'real' racists; whoever sincerely believes that obviously hasn't travelled very widely. I mean fuck, am I the only one who gives a shit about womens rights? Or how about human rights? Does no one else reaise 'human rights violations' doesn't mean 'human rights violations commited by Israelis"? No wonder the Americans are running the world -- everybody else's brain seems to have turned to mush all of a sudden.
OK, then I'll stop fuming over here :-)
The careful (well, actually careless) selection of data in the quote is just by-the-book standard "revolutionary" argumentation, hence the response.

Sex and violence. Thats entertainment. Here a LEGO sex link: Lego sex. I was surprised that Bill and Monica weren't portrayed.
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...
Posted from the wireless couch.
Actually, his packages do have the LEGO logo (just look at the pictures), and according to articles at the site, he got support in the form of free pieces from LEGO at the beginning of the project (before they knew what it would be); once they found out, they tried to get him to reconsider and did all they could to distance themselves from it, but didn't actually sue him:
From another article on the page:
Another quote:
And another:
There's more, but I trust you get the idea. The packages quite clearly do feature the LEGO logo, and look like real LEGO set boxes, and he apparently received free pieces from the company before they knew what he'd do with them.
George W Bush: Let it be known that any country which harbours, or funds, terrorists or terrorist activities, will be considered our enemy.
Wag in crowd: Are you aware that a major source of funding for, say, the IRA, is the US of A? This country funds terrorism too, you know.
George W Bush: ... ... ... Have that man shot.
It's funny because it's true.
Vintage computer games and RPG books available. Email me if you're interested.
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.

Because they don't feel they have the right to have the world bow to them after someone sets them up the bomb (plane, whatever).
Now, back to the discussion about Legos. Freakin' Legos, for God's sake. Someone needs to take themselves/the world/damn legos so seriously.
(Religious nuts: Yeah, yeah, I sad "God" and "damn". I'm going to hell. See you there).
Typo. OK, I was trashed. It should read "computers"

And for the record, i'm neither a liberal nor a conservative, i fall somewhere inbetween. I'm the first person to insult either side, and while i'm not a politician, and i don't play one on television, i think some of the things that the United States (and other countries, of course, but my post was in reply to a person who appears (from my perspective) to be one of the "oh no the United States is getting picked on, let's all change our way of life" people", so i'm keeping to the topic of the US) do are just plain against common sence. (Yeah, that was a big parenthetical explanation, sorry, but i don't want people to get the wrong idea about me again. :/ )
So anyway, i'm sorry if those numbers offended people; i used them strictly for making a point that the world is a bigger place than the United States. Insert any other numbers in there if you want, the places/events/exact numbers/etc., don't matter.
