...is such a ... AAAAAAARGH

he's this swedish guy actually making a huge success by being a geek, and he hasnt even released a single game title, or won any LAN tournament. no, he's making money by singing about IRC bots and playing warcraft 3 over ventrillo.

He's now a global hit, and has all the hot girls in his music videos. I walk around school and here girls like "i love this tune" and im like "i bet if you understood the lyrics you wouldnt".

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2210733622546630779&q=basshunter

notice the lyrics:
Quote: ""we're sitting on ventrillo, playing a little dota [wc3 mod], we're runing round and creeping, the opponant's we're sleeping""


Well, i'm not such a successful coder myself, so i thought of my own way of makiing nerd-money from this techno hit:

Quote: ""i am sittin here on teamspeak, working on darkbasic, the fractals i am co-ding, they take a while for loa-ding...""


what do you think?

Publish it, as teamspeak is much better than crappy vent.

How mush I do hate Ventrillo, the sound quality is crap!

Omg. What is it with this european hardhouse (at a guess!). It all has the same cheesey riff. Anyway, to the tune of that fantastic track, here are my lyrics. Everyone sing along now:

Quote: "I am a WoW obsessive
It makes me agressive
So I bought a katana
And some japanese armour

You might try to own me
Like ob wan kenobi
Yes I'm a fan of starwarz
And your skills are the suxorz

But you'll find I'm the R0xorz
Just look inside my sock draws
You'll find my stamp collection
It's giving me an err .... ahem

Remember your a newbie
Never seen a girls boobies
Put my flak gun up your arse
And send your gutts to mars

I'm level 99.
You're not even level 5.
I am like a hero
And you are like a zero!

So fear my inventory
For like 5 million centuries!
I'll be your WoW mentor
And you can be my crack whore
"

I wonder how much he had to pay those girls for them to agree to such a embarassing stunt, i.e. pretending to like it.

Yeah, 'cos those girls would turn their nose up at appearing in an international music video... Let's face it, those girls are probably attention ho's anyway who're more interested in their hair than lyrics.

Not that there's any correlation between looks and whether or not women play games of course, more women play videogames than will tend to admit it, but nowadays with voice chat and more social stuff it's much less of a social taboo IMO.

That couldn't be more true. Why so many of my MSN friends use cute Japanese girls for their avatar is beyond me.
