Geekologie Reader’s Ultra Slow-Motion Video, ‘Pink Terror’, With Stephen Hawking Audio!

Because I’m just so damn proud of what you Geekologie Readers can accomplish when you stop posting ‘FIRST!’ in the comments and actually put your mind to something, this is an awesome slow-motion video created by Geekologie loyalist Mike. Mike, you know I’m a sucker for destroying things! love geekologie, super loyal follower! wanted to send you links to an art video i just finished called Pink Terror. I shot it on a phantom camera at a very high speed rate, 1800 frames per second. And they say art is dead. Pfft, you showed them. Honestly, that was beautiful. And the Hawking dialogue was perfect. I’m just so proud. *sniff* Excuse me, I’m getting a little choked up. I’m serious — granola bar. Somebody kick me in the nads, STAT! Youtube and Vimeo Thanks to mike, for restoring my faith in Geekologie Readers.

Crazy Impressive Rube Goldberg Music Video

This is the music video for Chicago-based OK Go’s ‘This Too Shall Pass’, which consists of an unbelievable 3:53 long Rube Goldberg machine. You have to watch it. I mean, you don’t haaave to, you’ll just miss out if you don’t. Then, at the water cooler tomorrow when we’re all talking about the awesome music video we saw you’ll just stand there looking stupid with your hands in your pockets. You’ll make a comment about a Lady Gaga video. We will point and laugh. You will cry. We won’t feel bad. Hit the jump for four making-of videos.

DO WANT: LEGO Star Wars Foosball Table

DO WANT: LEGO Star Wars Foosball Table

Flickr user -2×4- (not to be confused with his beefier, off-roading brother, -4×4- ) went and built a fully functional LEGO Star Wars foosball table . Sure it’s tiny as hell and I wouldn’t hesitate to Hulk-smash it to bits if you beat me, but it is pretty amazing. Like the miracle of life, but this one wasn’t squeezed out of a vagina. Right, -2×4-? Please God tell me it wasn’t. Hit the jump for several more of the out-of-this-world sports table! (Kill me now)

Not The Worst Thing I’ve Heard: Dork Anthem

This is a song called ‘The Dork Anthem’ by two cats named Dave and Brian. Personally, I find the term dork offensive , but that’s just me and I’m official the judge of these things. Geek, sure, but dork ? That’s derogatory. Like not calling me by my proper title: Geekologie Writer, The Handsome Well Endowed. Youtube Thanks to Rusco, who throws geek parties all the time and sleeps with lots of women. Unless he’s married or has a girlfriend, in which case he doesn’t. ;) (Your secret’s safe me with me)

Bioshock 2 Subject Delta Chainsaw Sculpture

This is a video of a guy carving the original Big Daddy prototype out of wood . With a chainsaw. Which brings up an interesting question: how do you carve Subject Delta out of a tree? Shave away everything that doesn’t look like a Big Daddy. HAHA! God I slay me. Youtube Thanks to rick, who once carved a Big Sister out of granite and copped a feel.

15-Year Old’s Impressive Stargate Diorama

15-Year Old’s Impressive Stargate Diorama

This is 15-year old Sven Junga’s (awesome name!) Stargate diorama, including a LEGO Daedalus from Stargate Atlantis . It is most impressive, as are the other LEGO models in his Flickr gallery. And he’s only 15. I was still wearing Velcro shoes and licking the bus window! Hit the jump for several other shots of the ship, and be sure to check out Sven’s Flickr gallery for other LEGO mastery.

Amazing 30K Piece LEGO Droid Control Ship

Amazing 30K Piece LEGO Droid Control Ship

This is a stunning 30,000 piece LEGO replica of the Star Wars Droid Control Ship. It took builder Paul Yperman two years and a small fortune in LEGO bricks to construct. However, it did not take a pyrotechnics license. Boooooooooooooooo!! FIREWORKS SHIP NEEDS MORE FIREWORKS. Some years ago I walked into a second hand book shop and I bought a Star Wars Cross sections book. In the center stood the Droid Control Ship. It blew my mind and I knew I had to build it. I used almost 30000 parts. Lots in the center globe that I build with the aid of a building program that I found on the web. 3500 tiles to cover the outside structure. Lots of Technic parts to make the inside frame, so I could move, lift and take it apart without breaking it. The technic parts are joined left/ right and top / bottom, resulting in a firm and solid almost selfcarrying structure. First of all, who the hell parts with a Star Wars cross-section book? CAUSE THEY BETTER HAVE DIED. Secondly, I’m serious, who would do that? That’s like sneaking original, unopened He-Man figures into Toys R Us and putting them back on the shelf. You gotta be crazy! Hit the jump for a bunch more of the amazing amazingness, as well as the link to higher-res shots.

Triforce Latte: Dammit Link, Stop Fidgeting

Triforce Latte: Dammit Link, Stop Fidgeting

This is a Triforce latte ( liquid courage, power and wisdom ) that deviantARTist Monk Drew made his brother for his birthday. Now I’m not saying a coffee-drink is a pretty weak-ass present, but my brother did get me Carl Sagan’s Cosmos on DVD for Christmas. Just sayin’ — WHAT DID I NOT DESERVE BLU-RAY?! Kidding Frank, I know it’s not available ALTHOUGH I’M CHECKING AMAZON RIGHT NOW JUST TO MAKE SURE. Whew, okay we’re cool. Monk Drew’s DeviantART (with a ton more great latte art) via Triforce Latte - A Drink for a True Hero [albotas] Thanks to Christy, who once drank a Zora latte on the way to work and puked all over the back of the bus.

Amazing Bioshock 2 Big Sister Costume

This is an interview with Nathan Sharratt, who went and made a ridiculously amazing Big Sister costume (not to be confused with Harrison Krix’s Big Daddy getup ) from Bioshock 2 . It is most impressive and I can say without a doubt that I wouldn’t want to meet that in a dark Rapture alley. Or anything for that matter. There is nothing I can think of in Rapture that I’d like to run into. Well, besides an x-ray vision plasmid. Oh — and Sander Cohen. He seems like a pretty cool cat. Bleep Bloop: Bioshock 2 Costume [collegehumor] Thanks to Shmitty, who harvested every little sister he could find and is a real jerk.
