video mods

MTV2’s Video Mods, music videos as performed by videogame characters, are viewable online. I’m a fan of Evanescence and of Bloodrayne’s half-vampire chica in hip-cut leather, and the lyrics seem apt for the media and venue:
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
However, the Tribes: Vengeance interpretation of Von Bondies C’Mon C’Mon is the most impressive of the lot, both for maintaining the feel of the videogame at its roots, as well as expanding, rather than emulating, the music video format.

( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
