Got a chance to check out Jonathan Coulton’s set at PAX and it was amazing. If you haven’t heard of JoCo, as he’s known in some circles, you may still be familiar with his work. Coulton penned the cult classic gaming song Still Alive, as well as many other great nerd rock anthems. Skullcrusher Mountain, an evil genius love-song, has recently be released on Rock Band with proceeds benefitting Child’s Play. Code Monkey is an eeriely accurate portrayal of the life of the young developer, at least in this developer’s experience. Hit the jump for a couple more videos.
