GDC2009: Anthony vs Nick Chester
kitae | 9:30 AM on 04.01.2009 34 comments


GDC2009 was a battleground. Some fought for technical dominance, some fought for conceptual dominance, but none fought quite as hard as these two gamers did in a karaoke bar last Saturday night.

Who won? You be the judge. Let the comments on this post be an eternal record of the outcome of the toughest battle of GDC 2009: Anthony vs Nick Chester.

Reverand Anthony sings "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen


Nick Chester sings "Man Eater" by Daryl Hall


What's next for our heroes? American Idol? America's Got Talent? A blog post about narrative techniques in Sneak King? You decide.

Also here's a bonus song from a Mega64 guy. He's totally sober.

Oh my god.
Diverse's Destructoid Blog
Anthony looks like he was about to fall asleep. Nick's video won't load for me. :(
Cyclone's Destructoid Blog
Nick wins easily.
Pyroph's Destructoid Blog
That guy isn't from mega64.
DanGale's Destructoid Blog
Anthony looks like he really doesn't want to be there. Which means he wins. I mean, come on. Nick does this kind of stuff every night on Rock Band. He's a pro. It's nothing to him. Anthony made a brave, bold choice to humiliate himself. Sure there's HAWP, but that's completely different.

Although, Anthony may win this battle between editors, but the one on a volcano with Chad? Yeah, he'll get his ass kicked.

Holy crap, Chester's got pipes!
greks224's Destructoid Blog
Anthony is NOT having a good time.
Diverse's Destructoid Blog
Now his video loaded for me. There's something so funny and awkward about hearing a grown man shout VIDEO GAAAAAAAAMES.
the Golden Avatar's Destructoid Blog
Holy shit! This is almost as awesome as Egyptian Dental Fair.
Tactix's Destructoid Blog
Nice videos! <3 Great meeting you kitae!
Stuart Scofield's Destructoid Blog
Nick is winrar
R3Y GUTI3RR3Z's Destructoid Blog
Dont' fuck with Chester.. he will eat you. The duet between Dale and I, now that.. was pretty awful.
kitae's Destructoid Blog
That guy is actually from Mega64, he's in a new video that hasn't been released yet.

Or he was trying to pick me up by pretending to be in Mega64....
Nick Chester's Destructoid Blog
I was there for this, and Anthony's performance was superior. There was just an *energy* in the room when he took the stage.
yourmomX2's Destructoid Blog
no contest chester. you should be on the big stage boss. now i heard Delilah was the real jam. wheres that video?
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Chester wins this one.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Nick is, without a doubt, this generation's Daryl Hall.
Cataract's Destructoid Blog
when Nick Chester came to NY for the NYCC, I was literally blown away by how impressive his singing voice is. Dude can sing.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
Cataract, you were literally blown away by his singing? Like, the concussive force of his voice propelled you into the heavens, a la Team Rocket blasting off again? Whoa, dude does have pipes.
Jonathan Ross's Destructoid Blog
NICK CHESTER KARAOKE ADVENTURE IN BALTIMORE YAY!

Also nice meeting you at Dyson's Kitae!
Tdiddy9182's Destructoid Blog
Don't mean to criticize, but its Hall and Oates, not just Daryll Hall. But it was an epic battle
Anthony Burch's Destructoid Blog
During the actual party, Nick and I sung like an hour apart from one another so I could convince myself that people weren't comparing my endless monotone to his -- as has been said before -- serious pipes.

Putting these two videos back to back in this order is like showing a documentary of the 20th century and only talking about The Holocaust, then Obama's election.
kitae's Destructoid Blog
Anthony is correct, in fact I heard him state that he didn't want to be compared to Nick, which is the primary reason I formatted my blog post in this fashion as I am basically a jerk.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
Anthony acting like he's too cool for school? Surprising. ;)
ArrestedDeveloper's Destructoid Blog
I've probably watched every thing Mega64 has done (DVDs, internet videos, video podcasts) and I have never seen that guy before. We should just ask Frank Howley, he actually hangs out with all the Mega64 guys.
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
Kitae: I heard you really REALLY like the Sexy64 videos.
mourning orange's Destructoid Blog
I WANNA MAKE A SUPERSONIC MAN OUTA REV
Face's Destructoid Blog
Rev wins for holding the mic properly.
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
Rock Band needs more Queen AND Hall and Oates.
kitae's Destructoid Blog
I do like sexy64!
Naim Master's Destructoid Blog
Nick wins for the emotion

@kitae

As long as you don't use the shirt ...
Batthink's Destructoid Blog
Anthony, you are right about the contrast between you two, but you did well. :O)
Stella Wong's Destructoid Blog
Anthony sings one of my fave Queen songs, that's a REAL winner in my book! :D
Dyson's Destructoid Blog
Anthony had a great time, you guys just weren't there.

When I game I play mostly MMOs, RPGs and Shooters but my main passtime is staring at my framed photo of Chad Concelmo. Also I work at Bioware as a system designer.
