A group of unknown students at Minnesota’s Carleton College decided to PWN their very own Goodsell Observatory by dressing it up to look like a very familiar astrometric droid from Star Wars. The epic pranksters decorated the observatory with pre-fabricated drapes and taped them around the building to look like R2-D2. Just to be on the safe side, no spray paint was used for the prank so there was no serious or permanent damage to the property. Smart! On top of that, the decorations were accompanied by Artoo sound effects as well! No one has officially come forward and claimed the deed, but these prankster may have pulled off one of the greatest Star Wars pranks of all time.

Safety is definitely a huge factor if you are planning on getting a motorcycle. Well, considering there is a huge amount of customization going on for motorcycles, why not put your personal touch on your helmet as well. Especially if its something bad ass like an Iron Man custom paint job. Safety is definitely key, but you shouldn’t have to give up style. Just don’t be a douche and put some lame ass fluorescent colored plastic mohawk on your helmet. Thats just tasteless and… well I guess douchey.

IGN resident geek gamer “hot girl”, Jessica Chobot put her boobies up for a great cause. Well kinda… In support of the Keep-A-Breast foundation to promote breast cancer awareness, Jessica had her goodies cast in plaster and Sony artist, Erik San Juan than painted the cast in the theme of God of War III who he actually worked on.
Several months ago, I was approached to work with IGN staff writer and videogame vixen Jessica Chobot on a project to promote breast cancer awareness, through a non-profit foundation called Keep-A-Breast.
Keep-A-Breast’s fundraising efforts include plaster casts taken from stars and then painted over by artists to be auctioned for charity. I was tasked with giving Jessica’s cast a “God of War” flavor as I am one of a few artists from different studios who will be working with Jessica to represent the video game community.
Jessica and Erik’s creation is on display at Gnomon Gallery in Los Angeles in an “Art of God of War III” exhibit and will be auctioned off in the near future. Boobs and charity? I’m down.

The cool guys over at BioWorld Merchandising created a bitchin’ new bag for the upcoming “back to school” season. Ghostbusters is pretty popular right now so it makes sense that someone made a Ghostbusters back pack fashioned to look like the nuclear powered proton pack. Its pretty impressive what a simple design and silk screen process can do for a simple back pack. So far, 80’s Tees has it on their site for 40 bucks, but you will see it in your favorite comic shop very soon. You won’t be catchin’ any ghosts with this back pack and probably its only real use is to store some books and a crusty tuna sandwich, but who gives a crap? Its fucking Ghostbusters buddy!
