This karaoke superstar is known as netcasty and was discovered by CronosBlade while dicking around in IRC earlier today. netcasty really loves SingStar for the PlayStation 2. So much so, that he has exactly 169 videos of himself singing 169 different SingStar songs. Yep, that's right. 169 videos of nothing but him singing to various SingStar tracks.
This SingStar obsession started back in November of last year with the Divinyls' "I Touch Myself" and has continued on to this day, with his latest video going up just yesterday. After watching a few of these videos and nearly peeing myself with laughter, I felt it was my duty to share netcasty with all of you and the rest of the Internets.
Hit the jump for a selection of my favorites and check out his YouTube channe; for plenty more videos.
Madonna's "Material Girl"
netcasty sings Rihanna's "S.O.S."

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I want to say something mean. I really do. But I see these videos, and see that he's just so... damn... happy... I just can't. Rock on, netcasty! Rock on!
Sings better than me... and he's provided me my listening material for the day (or two?). Definitely enjoys what he's doing, which I can't say anything bad about. Sing on, sing loud, upload and be proud.
This needs to happen at the NYNarp, once the details have been ironed out...I have two versions of Singstar and won one of the contests at PAX last year haha. THat's hwo I got the PaRappa hat that Shin keeps threatening to steal from me.
