Michael, over at GRL Utah (yes, the G.R.L. hand extends deep into the mountains of Utah), has updated with the long anticipated One Laser Tag Per Child. This DIY system brings the Laser Tag CPU cost to down around $200 USD, and as always the software is free. Peep the tutorial here.

James Snyder did a nice little write up and video piece about the G.R.L. for time.com. I wanted to throw him some shine because besides doing his research he managed to link to examples of our work (outside of time.com) 10 times in the course of one article! It drives me crazy when I read online news articles about things which exist on the internet but don’t get linked up because they are not on the organizations server (NYT for example is apparently unaware of how to use the href tag). The href is a wonderful thing. And since Theo continually gets left out of the story I thought I’d atone with some href love:

Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!! Theo Watson wrote the Laser Tag Software!!!!!!!!!

… Oh, and Zach wrote some of it too.

On February 11th, 2008, the GRL’s Rotterdam LASER Tag video roared past 1 million views at the resolution of the proletariat, i.e. YouTube. Now, officially, we’re Internet Platinum brah! Even these fucks agree. SO where’s my spinnin’ crown animated gif badge for the website!? Wasn’t someone supposed to be making that just for this occasion? Heads should roll I swear to god. Look at the weak-ass crowns you made me hot link to:

Computer Arts Projects in the UK just did a special ‘how to’ magazine on “Graffiti in the Digital Age”. GRL was the featured profile and I wrote a how to for Laser Tag 2.0 which they butchered quite hard in the editing process. Apparently it needs at least a 5mW projector : )
 
Please excuse the crappy pdf quality. I didn’t feel like making any more effort than this. Enjoy!

I may have my research wrong (if so please correct me in the comments), but it appears that a group called grafiteria has done a Laser Tag event for the Nokia Trends 2007 event. I would like to go on record here for a moment and say fuck nokia and fuck grafiteria. Based on their photos I found online I’m pretty sure we could kick their asses (see below).
