12/1/07: MEGA64 DOES ADS FOR 2007 VIDEO GAME AWARDS, INTERVIEWS NICE OLD PEOPLE AND TOURISTS

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

In case you didn’t hear us announce it on our podcast, we’re doing another round of commercials/spots for SpikeTV’s Video Game Awards this year. The VGAs are always a controversial show, but we had fun making ads for them last year, and apparently, people had fun watching them. So hey, here are some more! Watch one of them, called “Commitment,” here!

We also included a BONUS outtake video from the shoot! We’ll be doing that with all three of the commercials we made… which should be released fairly soon. And trust me, they’re better than this one.

We’ll update again soon to show you the other VGA ads, as well as the beginning of our video podcast show, and a few other surprises! And is the merch site coming back anytime soon? Hmmm…

To be continued…

12/5/07: THE BACKYARD MESSIAHZ ARE BACK! NEW VGA SPOT AND DVD’S ON CHRISTMAS CLEARANCE!

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Everyone’s favorite bunch of backyard wrestlers, the Backyard Messiahz, have returned for our latest commercial we made for SpikeTV’s Video Game Awards. In this thrilling display of advertisement, reigning champion Kingg With A K must face off against a new opponent! Can newcomer Parlament avenge the death of his brother, The Goverment?

If the new 60 second spot isn’t enough for you, then be sure to check out the outtakes/deleted scenes video we put up too! It’s definitely, uh… improvised.

We have another kinda big announcement for you- ALL OUR DVD’S MUST GO! That’s right, if you don’t have our Version 1 or 2 DVDs, now’s the time to get them! We’re having a Mega Christmas Sale- Both DVDs are $9.95! That’s almost half their normal price! And not only that, but if you order both together, we’ll take an extra $3 off. That’s less than $17 for both! We’ve got to clear stuff out of Awfulmart for our upcoming new store, and you folks need stocking stuffers for Christmas, so… it almost seems too perfect, doesn’t it? Order now before they’re all gone- Who knows if we’ll even see them again?

We’ll be back in the next few days with the third and final commercial we made for SpikeTV! There’ll probably be another outtakes video too… and I hear it might possibly be the most epic video we’ve ever put out. Do you think the rumors are true? Hmmm…

See you in a few days!

12/9/07: FINAL VGA COMMERCIAL RELEASED, NEW MERCH STORE ONLINE!

Sunday, December 9th, 2007


The third and final commercial we made for SpikeTV’s Video Game Awards 2007 is finally online! This one showcases two of the VGA’s biggest fans, Todd & Aaron, as they finally give this awards show the praise it deserves!

You may remember Todd & Aaron from a video we did for IGN a while back. We really think these two guys are clearly the voice of the industry, and we hope they have a lot more to say in the future. If you like what they have to say, then DEFINITELY also check out the bonus outtakes video- It may just be the best Mega64 video ever made.

Now enough about them- LET’S BUY SOME MEGA64 MERCH! Our new online store is up and running, check it out here. We’ve teamed up with the Penny Arcade merch team to bring you some rad stuff in time for Christmas, including our brand new shirt, “The Paper Boy,” commemorating one of our most infamous skits. Order now to make it in time for Christmas!

There’s just a few things in the new store now, but we’ll be adding much more soon. You won’t believe the new stuff. I can’t believe anyone’s buying stuff from us in the first place. Feh!

Oh yeah, and don’t forget our old DVD Christmas sale is still going on at AwfulMart- Order fast!

Check back later tonight or early tomorrow for our new podcast. It won’t be a video podcast, but we’re working towards that very soon. You won’t be disappointed!
