PBC Productions and Scrub Club Records present 'Overheat,' Mad Hatter's hip-hop tribute to the NES game Excitebike.
Dozens of geeks gathered together to shoot the video at MAGfest, a video and computer gaming festival run by fans, for fans. The 'ExciteBiker', Matthew Mahoney, is a THON veteran who was chosen both for his ability to bust a move and for his innate lack of fear. The video features Internet video game celebrities James Rolfe (Angry Video Game Nerd), Stuttering Craig (ScrewAttack.com), A_Rival (Wave Theory), Devon Riley (Captain S), Bobby Bokista (VirtualFools), and others.
A huge THANK YOU to all the fans and friends who showed up to the shoot. You're the best. Big shout out to Brenden and MAGfest - for throwing the baddest video game party on the East Coast every year - and also for helping make this video happen.
'Overheat' is one of eleven tracks on MadHatter's Nintendo-inspired rap album, 8-Bit Bullshit.

Hatter's site describes the album as "11 tracks full of nonstop Nintendo memories to bob your head to". The video was shot, cut, and conceived by PBC Productions member Chad Williams, who was genuinely inspired by Hatter's music. He remarks, "Nerdcore is a niche within a niche, but great albums like 8-Bit Bullshit transcend the limitations of the genre."
This video marks the first collaboration between Scrub Club Records and PBC Productions.
