Obama, Romney get chiptuned in battle for presidential seat [Joystiq]

[DP ServBot]

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 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, and see who wins to be the fictional, autotuned President of Earths and Moon.

That is creative and kind of funny.

Nifty enough, I reckon.

That's so goofy it's actually funny. Sad though when you cherrypick it like that how they sound about the same though they really aren't.
