11/8/06: MEGA64′S ADS FOR THE SPIKETV VGA’S! MEGA64 ON MTV’S “GAMER’S WEEK!” NEW PODCAST! OH MY GOD

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

In case you haven’t heard it in our brand new podcast episode 4, we have some big news! We are doing the ads for what gamers across he globe know as the greatest yearly television event ever assembled: SpikeTV’s 2006 Video Game Awards! You can click here to watch it, along with a bonus behind the scenes video! Pretty tight, no?

We also want to let you know that we’ll be appearing on MTV next week for their “Gamer’s Week” event thingy. We have a quick 30 second “Super Smash Bros.” clip that will run on MTV throughout the week- You’ll see it first on November 15th at 8PM in the show “The G Hole.” It’s seriously super short, but kinda cool, eh? I mean it beats them re-running another gay episode of Next.

Enjoy all the new stuff, we’ll be back soon with more videos!

11/22/06: NEW VGA COMMERCIAL, BEHIND THE SCENES INSANITY, PODCAST 5 FROM THE WII LINE, AND OTHER CRAP I BET!

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

Our second SpikeTV VGA ad has been released! It’s called “Vote,” and you can click here to watch it (as well as the bizarre behind the scenes video!).

We also have a new podcast up! It was recorded straight from the Wii line in front of a Wal Mart down here in San Diego county. It’s a little late because we had to lessen the ambient sounds (namely, crickets and guys driving by in trucks with airhorns yelling “ENTENDO FAGS!”)

After all that insanity, we thought we’d take a moment to say how proud we are of Mega64 right now. As you know, the Mega64 crew are pretty big fans of Jackass and the CKY videos- they really helped inspire our own show. This week some of the guys from those very productions gave us a very nice plug on Bam Margera’s Sirius Radio Show. It was just an offhand remark, but just that little thing really felt like it was bringing Mega64 full circle. It was a good feeling. We should chase it. I think we will.

Then we got word this week that Yahoo News is choosing to do a story on us, in a segment about successful websites (I guess if by “successful” they mean “pissing people off in bad costumes,” then we fit the bill). They actually want to come along with us on the filming of some new segments! They’re literally sending a cameraman who just got back from covering the war, so hopefully he’ll be brave enough to handle one of our grueling skits.

And even though we hit a speedbump with our MTV bits (The Smash Bros. bit never aired because they ran out of time, and according to them we “never should have expected it to air.” Alright.), it’s still been a pretty rad couple weeks. Thanks to everyone who’s been along for the ride (Including you, Shawn Chatfield). We’ll be back soon- Don’t forget about our day after Thanksgiving Mega64 marathon at GBSTV! See you then!

11/16/06: QUICK NOTE ON MTV, GBSTV, SPIKETV

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

Just a quick news update: We have no idea what happened with the Super Smash Bros. bit we made for MTV, or why it didn’t air. But they’ve been airing our Ghosts and Goblins and Tetris videos in full force during the show “Blastazoid.” The segments are hosted by some of our heroes- Rake Yohn and Brandon DiCamillo from Jackass and the CKY videos, which totally floored us!

It’ll be on tonight, Thursday the 16th, at 8PM (As well as many, many other reruns throughout the week).

We also wanted to let you know that on Thursday, November 24th, the day after Thanksgiving, we’ll be having a Mega64 Marathon on the popular web TV station GBSTV! It’s every episode of season 1 and 2 back to back, hosted by the Mega64 crew! Get your Christmas shopping done, heal your trample wounds, and then spend your entire evening watching Mega64 goodness, eh?

We’ll be back soon with our second SpikeTV VGA commercial, and another making-of video (a pretty unusual one!). See you then!
