These are way more eye-catching than those televised public service announcements about carbon monoxide leaks and downed power lines. They're also straight-up ghoulish.

LARPing generally brings to mind people running around a forest in medieval garb pretending to be knights and wizards, but this one is entirely different. The Celestra LARP is based off of the sci-fi show Battlestar Galactica and instead of taking place in a forest, the setting was a retired
Cold War era destroyer.

The story for The Monitor Celestra LARP focuses on a ship called the Celestra which has been separated from the rest of the fleet. Everyone must work together to stay alive and figure out who is a Cylon and who is human. It looks incredibly intense, just like the show.

The LARP was created by a team of designers and writers who came up with 140 new characters for the story. It was then held in Sweden over three weekends at a cost of $160,000. The results were very different each time with one ending in a surrender to Cylon agents, a second resulting in ethnic cleansing, and a third ending with the ship exploding. After their success in Sweden, plans are underway to bring the LARP to US shores.

The project will tentatively “launch” in some form in 2014, but the team still hasn’t decided where to hold the game or how to fund it. Besides a small grant-funded stipend for Dolk, the original Monitor Celestra was paid for by participants; this time, the team has also considered attempting to get help from the show’s owners themselves. The game hasn’t been officially licensed, but Ericsson doesn’t think this will be a problem — especially because Moore and others are clearly already aware of it. “Anyone can cosplay as Starbuck, there’s no copyright issue there,” he says. “We’re really doing the same thing on a large scale.”

Who knew that Joan Jett could have been a stunning Wonder Woman? Artist Charles Holbert designed this rocking Amazon look and though I’d like to see it with more fabric, it’s a fabulous design. I love the cuffs over the gloves and red starry earrings.

The powerful and beautiful vocals of David Bowie and Freddie Mercury have been pulled out a-capella-style in their now-classic song from 1981, “Under Pressure.” The full track can be found on Queen’s Hot Space album which was first released in 1982. Open Culture has the full story.

If you maintain a cordial to friendly relationship with any creepy nerds on the Internet, you know that many people are freaking out about an episode of Game of Thrones that aired on Sunday, in which many things happened. The most shocking thing that happened—the thing that people saw happen with their own two eyes and still cannot believe—is that Will Champion, the drummer from Coldplay, had a small cameo in the episode.

The most feedback a gamer gets right now is a vibrating controller, but the guys at ARAIG (As Real As It Gets) hope to change that with their new multi-sensory feedback suit. They’ve launched a kickstarter with a lofty $900,000 goal that will allow them to fully develop their product with the first units shipping in December of 2014.

The suit is made of hardware decoder, undersuit and exoskeleton layers that will provide feedback based on what’s happening to a player in-game. Whether you’ve been shot or blown through a wall the suit will let you feel what’s happening on the screen. It’s also got built in surround sound speakers to complete the experience.

See the kickstarter video after the break…

You can help fund the kickstarter now, with pledges of $325 and up putting you first in line to get one of these amazing suits.
