Comments(2) Andreas Wieslander’s bachelor thesis, entitled “IN REAL GAME,” is “a project about marketing games through live performances, in order to focus on the games feel, rather than its graphics and sfx.”
He has chosen the infectious beats and charms of the PlayStation classic Parappa the Rapper to illustrate this concept. They act out the roles of Cheep Cheep and Parappa in a rendition of “Cheep Cheep Cooking Chicken’s Rap,” complete with seafood cake, live backing band, and Parappa’s jerky delivery. “Crack. Crack. Crack. The egg. Into. The bowl.”

Frankly, I like this guy’s thesis. And not just because it used one of the coolest games for the Playstation. Though that helped. It’s an innovative way to market video games, and it might have a place in not just marketing but someplace like forensics or something. Anyway, this guy deserves his degree, no question.
