Let's just smash video games and music videos together and see if that makes a TV show.
In fall of 2004 and spring of 2005, MTV2 aired an animated TV series that paired popular music with videogame characters performing the songs. It didn't make a lot of sense then and it makes even less sense now.
We're going to dissect it with our resident MTV expert, Jonathan Off Road Rules.
Some of these videos simply must be seen to be believed, so check out this playlist ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL38BvmoESdUrZPvrisgUzRRYVqSwDN-zb&feature=shared ) or search Video Mods on YouTube to see even more.
For further reading, most of our behind the scenes information was sourced either directly from the YouTube videos themselves or from this article on Polygon: https://www.polygon.com/24213898/mtv-video-mods-retrospective-what-happened/
Declan had the choice between dental surgery and discussing MTV, and made the appropriate choice.

The crew of the Enterprise get addicted to a VR sex game. This episode is quite, quite horny.
A visiting Wesley Crusher must team up with his new love interest (Hollywood's Ashley Judd) to solve the mystery of why all the adults on the ship have Space Horniness and why his mother is so insistent that he play the sex game as well. We also explore videogame addiction, learn about Data's secret off switch, find out how Picard used to be "always fuckin'" in his Starfleet Academy days, and discover the highly detailed location and description of Wesley Crusher's birthmark.

Deep in the Pegasus Galaxy is a machine that plays this podcast and it affects what we say in real life. We're covering Season 3, Episode 15 of Stargate Atlantis, an episode in which the characters discover a 'game' similar to Civilization or Europa Universalis that lets players guide a group of people through scientific advancements or combat...only to find out that their 'game' is affecting real people.
It's a show for both newcomers and experts of the Stargate canon because two of the hosts are extremely familiar with the show and one has only seen this episode. There's even a quiz which you can play along with Daniel at home if you're a newbie. Learn all about how the American government plans to conquer space on this episode of the Spin-Off Doctors Spin-Off!

We're back with a movie which is probably called Tekken 2 but has like 15 other names and also has almost nothing to do with Tekken.

That one time Ubisoft accidentally made the best rated video game film adaptation on Rotten Tomatoes.
We had a little bit of sound trouble while recording, so sometimes Casey and Daniel don't say too much and you'll have to make do with my dulcet tones (except when my mic decides to misbehave).

I used to be with it, but then they changed what ‘it’ was, and now what I’m with isn’t it. And what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me.
