The battle for the White House is an epic, intense drama to rival those of legend and myth, so of course it makes a great chiptune video game. The Gregory Brothers, creators of Autotune the News and all those viral videos about burgers and bed intruders, songified Barack Obama and Mitt Romney (http://nyti.ms/RXWjmw) from the Democratic and Republican national conventions (respectively, in case you get those two mixed up).
The video is titled "Patriot Game" and presents the presidential candidates side-by-side, comparing their talking points as if they were literal points in an 8-bit video game, set to an upbeat tune. Watch the piggy banks, (bleeding) hearts and American flags stack up over at The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/RXWjmw), and see who wins to be the fictional, autotuned President of Earths and Moon. It might surprise you.http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)Obama, Romney get chiptuned in battle for presidential seat (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/17/obama-romney-get-chiptuned-in-battle-for-presidential-seat/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Mon, 17 Sep 2012 12:30:00 EST.
