Big Sean, Multimedia Storyteller, Gets Pixellated in "Jump Out the Window" Video

In gaming, emergent stories are what happen when the systems of a non-narrative game naturally lead to situations and conflicts that the player interprets as part of a narrative. Big Sean may have read about this stuff (or not), but his new video for I Decided single "Jump out the Window" (hot on the heels of Friday's "Light" video) tells a story while also being kind of a game.

The plot follows Sean as he attempts to steal back his girlfriend from a dude by diving into what begins as a Super Nintendo-styled platformer and then transforms into a go-kart racer partway through. Some really innovative gameplay right there. It should also be noted that the chess-themed first level is reminiscent of Homestuck, a work of fiction no one who reads music blogs will likely ever care about because it's just too damn nerdy. Watch the "Jump Out the Window" video above.
