The Daily Hotness: O.G. (Original Gamer)

So, this has been a week of missing cool stuff. This weekend was Nerdapalooza in Florida, a three-day music festival in Orlando featuring nerdcore hip hop, chiptunes, geek rock and comedy music. I’ve performed there a few times, but sadly, had to miss it this year. Ask Tony how it was. He went.

My first year there was in 2009, which is where this video was shot. This video, by MC Lars and featuring MC Frontalot, is a reminder of something else I missed. Not only did I miss being in this video in ’09, but tonight I missed seeing MC Lars and Adam WarRock in concert in DC. So, I’m posting one of my favorite Lars tracks… and you can’t go wrong with a guest appearance by the Godfather of nerdcore, Frontalot.

Seriously, if you haven’t watched Nerdcore Rising, get that into your Netflix queue.

Anyway, today on Dtoid, Chris previewed LittleBigPlanet for the Vita, Allistair previewed Sony Smash Br… I mean Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, Scott Pilrgim finally gets online co-op, the 360 version of the Silent Hill HD Collection will never get patched, and more hit the site on 8/8.
