The computer terminal GUI in the game was totally awesome. @bunjiquo

If new videos kept (roughly) within genre when selecting then by checking which videos actually got watched one would fit the source content fitness. Then by grading the rating of the watched videos one could judge the fitness of the mashup algorithm. BTW How was NIME? Andy said he was going to see you. @Staas

Ideally, you'd end up creating an automatic internet meme generator? (Compare for example the "caramelldansen" animation thing - very "fit", definitely generated by some algorithm.) The ways internet memes spread would perhaps suggest "number of video responses / imitations" as an additional "retrospective" fitness criterium. Would it be possible to separate the effect on fitness of the source content used on the one hand, and type of algorithmic mash-up used on the other? Also wonder what would happen when your system would start to stumble on its own videos. Interesting to use youtube rating / play count as a fitness criterium for an EA.
