2/12/08: MEGA64 PODCAST 36: THE HAPPIEST PODCAST ON EARTH!

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

This week’s Mega64 Podcast (Episode 36) is WITHOUT A DOUBT the happiest podcast you will ever download. This episode is an HONOR and a TRIBUTE to the late Walter Disney, and is dedicated to his honor, as we talk about the latest Rock Band cuts, Meet the Spartans, and duck-themed restaurants. Please watch below, or subscribe to the left.

Once again, IGN Insider subscribers will get an interesting new video this coming Thursday. Aside from that, it might be kinda quiet here for a little bit. It’s because we’re going to be traveling all over the place soon, for a variety of reasons we can’t quite discuss yet. But come back every Tuesday for our podcast to see exactly where our travels take us…

See you next week!

2/25/08: MEGA64 RETURNS FROM GDC WITH THEIR INDIE AWARDS VIDEOS!

Monday, February 25th, 2008




So as you may have heard, Mega64 once again provided videos for the big awards show at the Game Developers Conference. This year, though, their videos instead focused on the independent games. Was the Mega64 crew indie enough to do the game industry justice! Watch these new videos to find out!

First off, watch our Intro video, featuring a pleasant greeting from Dan Paladin, the award-winning artist behind the characters of games like Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers! And if that’s not enough for you, there’s even a bonus Behind the Scenes video!

Then watch our next indie game video, “I Am Independent,” where the Mega64 crew speaks candidly on their independent gaming views!

And then finally, watch “Independent Inspirations” to prepare yourself to be an indie winner!

We had a great time at this year’s GDC, and we’d like to thank each and every one of you that stopped by to say hello to us. Every year you guys make it really special for all of us.

My favorite thing about GDC is how every time we go, we seem to have one defining moment that makes us realize, “Wow, this was totally all worth it.” This year, for me, it was Jason Della Rocca, after winning his Ambassador Award, coming down to tell us that Ralph Baer, the father of modern video games, apparently looked like he was going to have a heart attack during our awards intro video. Now of course we love Mr. Baer and everything he’s done for video games, and would never wish any ill will unto him. But just the fact that we even heard that spoken to us was just a mindblower- How the hell did we get here? I mean, really? (Love you, Ralph).

There should be a new podcast tomorrow. We didn’t really have time to make one with the show running and all, so expect it to be pretty weak. Hey, we just gave you four new videos, what more do you want? I’m gonna go take a nap.

2/26/08: MEGA64 RETURNS FROM GDC WITH THEIR INDIE AWARDS VIDEOS! (NOW WITH PODCAST 38)

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

2/26/08 - Just a quick edit to let you know that the Mega64 Podcast #38 is up. It’s a really short, weak-ass podcast, but since we were busy (and incredibly sick) in San Francisco, it’s all we could do. We’ll give you a good one next week. And an even better one after that.
