When news broke of game developer Mike Maulbeck venting that he wanted to kill Valve founder Gabe Newell, I though, “This is a song for Yes.Mustache!”  Yes.Mustache is my music project dedicated to video games and gaming culture.  This story was definitely about gaming culture.  After work I wrote the song and recorded it.  I was up until 2 in the morning. :/  After uploading it to YouTube I noticed that a writer for a very popular video-game-website was echoing the sentiments that I had written in the song, namely ‘Don’t threaten to kill people, it’s bad form’.

The writer responded and asked if he could embed my video at the end of the week for a post on the website.  I consented (I was thrilled).  Below is the post.

I have long been an admirer of Joystiq and to be featured on their site was a great honor and encouragement.  In a matter of hours, my lifetime total views have doubled, all because a huge site picked up my little song.  That was pretty cool.
