10/5/07: PODCAST 26 GOES UP EARLY! AND SOME OTHER COMPLETELY UNIMPORTANT INFORMATION.

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

The Mega64 Podcast #26 is already online, look at that! The guys must have had something pressing to say to get this out so soon. We can’t imagine what it would be.

So, we explain this whole thing much, much better on the podcast, but we’ll just kinda talk about it here a little too. You can now find Mega64 videos in HD on IGN’s Insider service. We’ll have a new video on there every two weeks, so subscribe if you’re so inclined. The videos are pretty much the most random-ass clips possible, dug deep from the Mega64 trenches (Think the kind of stuff you’d find on our “Mega64 Time” DVD), like bizarre skits, convention antics, footage from our podcasts, and so on! If you’re a hardcore fan, you’ll love it. If you think it sounds lame, don’t worry about it- This won’t affect Mega64.com itself in any way. Everything will go on as usual. It’s just an extra thing we’re doing. And if you’re willing to throw IGN a few bucks, we really think you’ll enjoy it.

Mega64 is really going through a lot of crazy stuff right now, and shockingly, all of it is pretty positive. It’s an insane time for us, but it couldn’t be any better. And we know this kind of thing sounds clich

10/16/07: MEGA64 “VASE HOLDER” SHIRTS ON CLEARANCE FOR $6: PRICE DROP- PRESS RELEASE

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007


BUY THIS SHIRT NOW: ONLY SIX BUCKS!!

To all Mega64 Vase Holder shirt customers:

I have received hundreds of emails from Mega64 Vase Holder shirt customers who are upset about Mega64 dropping the price of the shirts to $6. After reading every one of these emails, I have some observations and conclusions.

First, I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price, and that now is the right time to do it. The Mega64 Vase Holder Shirt is a breakthrough product, and we have the chance to ‘go for it’ this holiday season. The Mega64 Vase Holder Shirt is so far ahead of the competition, and now it will be affordable by even more customers. It benefits both Mega64 and every Mega64 Vase Holder Shirt wearer to get as many new customers as possible in the Mega64 ‘tent’. We strongly believe the $6 price will help us do just that this holiday season.

Second, being in technology for 30+ years I can attest to the fact that the technology road is bumpy. There is always change and improvement, and there is always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff date and misses the new price or the new operating system or the new whatever. This is life in the technology lane. If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you’ll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon. The good news is that if you buy products from companies that support them well, like Mega64 tries to do, you will receive years of useful and satisfying service from them even as newer models are introduced.

Third, even though we are making the right decision to lower the price of the Mega64 Vase Holder Shirt, and even though the technology road is bumpy, we need to do a better job taking care of our early Mega64 Vase Holder Shirt customers as we aggressively go after new ones with a lower price. Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these.

Therefore, we have decided to offer every Mega64 Vase Holder Shirt customer a free iPhone. Go to Apple’s website and ask them for one and they will be cool with it, we talked. Go ahead.

We want to do the right thing for our valued Mega64 Vase Holder Shirt customers. We apologize for disappointing some of you, and we are doing our best to live up to your high expectations of Mega64.

10/25/07: MEGA64 PODCAST #27 RISES AMONGST THE FLAMES! AND OTHER HUGE NEWS!

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Mega64 Podcast #27 is up! Despite our city being burned to the ground, the podcast still continues. The victims need this.

We have a few big news items that we’re really excited to tell you about. First off- The Mega64 Podcast will soon go video. That’s right, enjoy our thrilling podcast in either audio OR video! Look for this to happen sometime in the near future. We’re building a set right now for it, which brings us to the next news item…

Mega64 now has an official studio. That’s right, we just signed the papers on the official Mega64 Headquarters in San Diego! We’re moving in and building sets right now, so we’re super busy. It’s really surreal to not only have quit our regular day jobs, but to be moving into this huge place dedicated solely to this stupid show we do. It’s literally life-changing and once again, we can only thank you guys for this. What an amazing experience.

We’ll close this update with pictures of the new studio, and this promise: New skit on the site within the next week, and a bonus gift for all the hardcore fans. See you real soon.

10/31/07: HALLOWEEN MEGA-UPDATE! NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. 3 SKIT! AND THE FULL SLOWDRAW ALBUM TOO! spooky

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Behold, our new skit for Super Mario Bros. 3! Straight from the upcoming “Version 3,” this skit is pretty much Mega64 at its most simplified. And we’ll spoil the ending for you now- The real world definitely isn’t ready yet for vehicular footware of any kind. ESPECIALLY if you have to wind it up.

And as if that wasn’t enough, we bring a very special gift to all our hardcore fans- After huge demand, Garrett Hunter has finally released the full “Slowdraw the Hungry Eskimo” album. Slowdraw’s music has been found in multitudes of Mega64 videos- And now the entire album is yours to own. Oh, I guess I should mention that it’s totally free and you can download it right here. We are so happy that Garrett has released this- It’s one of our favorite albums ever and it’s so cool to see an eager public finally be able to hear it after all this time.

But the ultimate question remains- Which part of the update is better? The skit or the album? Post on our forums and tell us! It’s a statistical dead heat!

We’ll be back soon with some more news… we think you’ll be pretty surprised by it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! BOOOOOOOOOOO LOOK OUT
