While thousands of game designers flock to the Bay Area for this years Game Developer Conference, a chiptune artist from Leeds, UK is getting ready for the debut of his first music video on MTV. “Wasting My Time” by Superpowerless is a catchy pop song about a life spent playing video games. The video uses stop motion animation, balloons, and cardboard boxes to pay tribute to classic video games. “Wasting My Time” is set to debut on MTV on March 23rd but you can watch the video online (as well as the “making of” video). I never would have imagined I could turn MTV and catch a music video from an unsigned chiptune artist… but then again, it’s rare enough to even find anything music related on MTV.

Dayum. I’m so proud of Ollie & Steve, my little boys from the north making something of themselves!
