Tycho of Penny Arcade waxes philosophical on the intersection of MTV and current-gen video game consoles, in the wake of the announcement of Harmonix's next game, Rock Band.

The Harmonix mission wasn't completely on deck for Guitar Hero in the way it was for Frequency and Amplitude, games which shipped with tools for music creation. There is no doubt in my mind that players will be able to quote <EM>jam</EM>, creating original music, but that's really the ground floor of what's possible. People forming their own bands like you would form a Guild in another genre to compete with others online is getting warmer. Forming your own bands which create original music and then upload these tracks - complete with vocals - to a community rated central repository verges on the supernatural. That's the new MTV. It's what MTV looks like when we seize the reins in glorious revolution.<BR /></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4B605364-4CF5-4F30-BF55-552B88546435/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
