I already can’t remember where I found this, but this cover of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” performed by Hurratorpedo, on a guitar, a cube freezer, and a stove…
…no really…
…kinda kick ass.

Looks like Ubermondo has beat me to it, when it comes to figuring out more about these guys.

Obsessive gamer Storm Troopers get a Vader-visit
The 203rd Desert Expeditionary Legion (A Company) are a group of Star Wars Galaxies gamers who are really into being Storm Troopers. They drill, patrol, take shifts and work military discipline among themselves. After doing this for some time, the game-masters in SWG decided to reward them for their diligence: so they dispatched a virtual Darth Vader to go to their camp and give them a pep-talk:
I’m sorry. I dig that it’s becoming smooth enough of a flow that gamers can do things like drills and things, but I’m not entirely sure why I would pay money to stand in line… It is pretty cool though that Darth Vader showed up… The SWG guys seem to be doing some pretty cool stuff, but it’s still not the same as craziness that the World of Warcraft folks pulled off when they ended their Beta test. Instead of just turning off the world, they sent in these huge monsters that just killed everything in sight.
Very cool.
