They’ve found it: Getting as many dressed-up Star Trek fans to London’s Millenium Bridge by 1:00 p.m. on February 14th as possible. People from the Guinness Book of World Records will be on hand to make sure everyone is in full cosplay mode, and there will even be prizes. What kinds of prizes, you may ask? Well, try a lifetime subscription to the MMO, for one. The best-dressed fans will win subscriptions or even digital versions of the recent Star Trek movie.

Sounds like it’s worth it, even if you’re a Redshirt.

My dear Lara got an unprecedented six records all in one go: “Most Successful Video Game Heroine,” “Most Recognizable Female Character in a Video Game,” and “Most Detailed Video Game Character” while Tomb Raider set new records as “Highest Grossing Computer Game Spin Off”, “Most Successful Live-Action Transfer” and “Most Official Real Life Stand-Ins in a Video Game.”

Lara’s fame reached record heights a few years ago, undoubtably contributing to her recognition and success: She was the virtual spokesmodel for cars, appeared on the front cover of a magazine, and even featured prominently during U2′s PopMart tour. Not to mention the fact that the character, as played by Angelina Jolie, has two movies under her belt.

As far as that last record, Lara’s been played by 10 official models since 1996. The latest, Alison Carroll, can actually do some of Lara’s signature acrobatic moves. Quite entertaining.

As far as Lisa Courtney goes, she’s the biggest collector of Pokémon memorabilia in the world, having accumulated 12,113 different items over 13 years. That deserves recognition because of the skill it takes to put all of that stuff away in the first place. According to Lisa, the collection takes up the entire house (even her mother’s room). I guess she really had to catch them all.

Brutal Legend

Fans at the UK Download Festival set a Guinness Book World Record for most people playing air guitar at one time. 440 fans gathered at the EA Hub where fans could try out a variety of Electronic Arts games and instead of playing, rocked out to Motorhead classic, Ace of Spades.

Kerrang FM’s Christian Steveneson said: ‘That was one of the raddest jams I’ve ever been involved with. The crowd played their air guitars better than Eddie Van Halen! Then they destroyed ’em good and proper. Who cares, right? They can go to the air guitar shop and get another one. Sick to the infinity of sickness! I want a crowd like that at every gig I’m at. Awesometacular – air guitar world records rule!’

Wearing Brutal Legend shirts, some fans were invited on stage to show off their air guitar skills for a chance to win the Tenacious D Electric Guitar.
