Now for some good news from the Deadmau5 camp following the exhaustion episode from earlier this month. Everyone’s favorite raving rodent has been selected to be the “house band” for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.

Deadmau5 has also been elevated to the status of in-game character in the latest update to Activision’s DJ Hero franchise, smartly titled DJ Hero 2. Here’s a first look at the in-game character.
