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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Also nice meeting you at Dyson's Kitae!
