Freddie25, YouTube musician extraordinaire, just released a huge video game rock medley for the ages. At 10 minutes long, he covers all the standards and more with electric guitar, keyboard, bass, and more, with some help on drums. It's really worth a listen, even in the background. Freddie, you had me at Ice Cap Zone Act 1.

I'll bet you never thought gaming could be a part of performance art. I never would have thought it could be either, and if it somehow was, I would have expected it to be sort of lame, not mind-bendingly awesome. See, what the band Bit Brigade likes to do is play full video game soundtracks, but not just play them, they like to play them while someone plays a speedrun, live, on stage. That's right, Bit Brigade has a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, and a gamer.  Recently, a video of them playing Mega Man 2 surfaced, and it is a joy to behold. These heroes also perform Castlevania, Contra, and Ninja Gaiden. I've got to see them live.

Check out a 44 minute video of the Mega Man 2 performance after the jump.
