You’ll never look at your Xbox or PS3 in the same way after eyeballing this extreme gaming setup. Choose your crew, have a seat, then engage the friggin’ galaxy. Don’t even think about going outside for months.

It’s called Artemis, and it’s gonna change the universe of Trekkie make-believe and multiplayer gaming forever. The crazy, six-player game is networked on multiple Windows PCs, with one giant screen or wall projector chosen as the main viewer. Five people act out the station duties of Helm, Science, Engineering, Communications and Weapons, while the lucky sixth person “makes it so” as Captain (and they get the better Barcalounger).

Have a look …

Disguised Montana bigfoot hoaxer killed pulling roadside prank

Aug 282012

Headline of the Day: Source Blastr.com

Adults (and kids), please don’t try this at home. A 44-year-old man trying to trick people into thinking he was a strolling Sasquatch met a grisly end near Kalispell, Montana Sunday night. Exactly how and why is almost too hard to believe.

Sadly, Randy Lee Tenley won’t be fooling monster hunters anymore.

Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider toldKAJ18 News that Tenley’s friends reported he was zipped up in a fuzzy, military-style ghillie suit, hoping to stage a Bigfoot hoax. While trying to jog across U.S. Highway 93, the shaggy trickster was struck by a 15-year-old girl, driving in the right southbound lane, who couldn’t get out of the way. Tenley was hit a second time, this time run over by another teen’s vehicle while laying unconscious on the road.

“It’s still a crash involving vehicles and a pedestrian,” said Trooper Schneider. “So we’re still doing the same investigation, but once we started speaking to parties, then someone involved in it, trying to ascertain exactly what brought that gentleman out to Highway 93.

“He was apparently trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting. You can’t make it up. I haven’t seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him.”

Montana is nuts about its bigfoot family and is the site of the annual Elliston Bigfoot Hunt, a playful tribute to their favorite mythical beast. So the Sasquatch legend continues in northwest Montana … minus one hoaxer in a wooly brown suit.
