EA Gets Youtubular with The Sims On Stage

1
Electronic Arts today launched the beta for The Sims On Stage, a free website that allows users to share videos ranging from Youtube-style performance pieces to Sims machinima.

Videos on the service are separated by karaoke, poetry, comedy, and storytelling sub-sections. Like Youtube, the database can be sorted by total views and overall ratings, with a comments section residing below each video. The project is the result of EA's acquisition of online karaoke community SingShot Media earlier this year.

A rudimentary video editor is also included on the website, enabling those inclined to create thrilling "mashups" of Sims footage to go along with their rockin' songs.

So far the videos vary from hilarious to inspiring. But you don't have take my word for it--check out the website.
