Live Nude Light Sabre Duel and Geekathon A Success

It was a time to laugh, a time to drink, a time for light sabre duels and bare breasted Star Wars trivia. It was fun, don't ya know, and the utmost in silliness.

Last night, Zoie, Cassie and Vicktoria, three nerdy chat hostesses from LiveCamNetwork.com, got together for an evening of watching Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, discussing and playing at Star Wars trivia with users who could buy rounds of drinks for the purposes of bolstering the girls for the climactic re-enactment (or as Star Wars geek and company president Mark Prince called it "re-interpretation") of the final light-sabre duel in that film...

Of course all this silliness is also the opportunity to advance technology and in that ever-nerdy world of computers and the internet, it's usually the porn nerds who do the pushing.

The event was staged in the site's new widescreen high-definition format chat room, which is live video running at 30 frames per second and in 16:9 aspect ratio. Rather than the usual 320 by 240 pixel image, this is an impressive 533 by 300 pixel. The difference is enormous, and the quality makes it hard to go back to the regular chat rooms.

There is no indication that the site will be upgrading all its chat rooms to this format, or just keeping it for special events (the next girl-a-thong, Luna Show or another live party event). They'd have a problem though since many chat hostesses don't us Mini DV cameras that could adopt the 16:9 aspect ratio.

For now certain chat hostesses have their own high-definition chat rooms and are making good use of them. For instance, right now Alexxia is in the widescreen room, while Asia and Gabriela are using the conventional rooms, although a different times they all have had use of it.

I wonder if they have Light Sabre fights to decide who will get the special room?
