6/3/08: MEGA64 PRODUCES AD FOR ALIEN HOMINID HD (AND FARTS OUT PODCAST #52 TOO) WITH LIVE APPEARANCE NEWS BONUS!

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

A lot of you are eagerly anticiptating the new game coming to Xbox Live this summer, Castle Crashers. But we bet a lot of you forgot that The Behemoth’s previous game, Alien Hominid HD, is still up for download on Xbox Live Arcade. The Behemoth dudes hired us to create an effective and motivating ad to remind the public of this software’s everlasting relevance. Watch this Mega64 produced Alien Hominid video and be sure to download the game if you haven’t already! The video explains how to do it, and clearly, it couldn’t get any easier.

We also just released Podcast #52, where we pay respect to the victims of Universal-Firestorm-2008, and talk about our Marcus’ Corner filming experiences so far. Watch below, subscribe to the left.

Just real quick, we’d also like to let you know that the tentative schedule for Mega64’s panel at Anime Expo is Saturday, July 5th at 4PM. Even though the AX website says 5:30 or something, it will soon be moved to 4 officially. You heard it here first.

End of July is Comic Con- We are aiming for a screening on Thursday, July 24th. That is TENTATIVE and may change, but that’s what it looks like for now.

“Fan Expo” in Toronto in late August is still very much up in the air. Things got weird with that.

PAX is definite- We have a booth and a panel, and at some point, a screening for the Seattle people too. More details later.

Keep it all in mind! We’ll see you Friday for Marcus’ Corner Episode 4!

6/6/08: MARCUS’ CORNER EPISODE 4 GOES BEYOND THE GAME INDUSTRY?

Friday, June 6th, 2008


HEAR YE HEAR YE, Marcus has returned for Marcus’ Corner Episode 4! However, this is not your normal episode- This week, Marcus takes his first step OUTSIDE THE GAME INDUSTRY to de-stress after last week’s episode. He sits down with author Dick Masterson, master in the art of chauvinism. Will Marcus be able to compose himself in the face of his one true idol?

You may recognize Dick Masterson from his controversial appearance on the Dr. Phil show, which has since blown up on Youtube. Definitely watch this clip before watching the new Marcus’ Corner. Not only will it better preface you for the interview… it also features what humor connoisseurs are referring to as… the most awesome burn, ever.

We hope you enjoy the show! We should also mention that we have announced our panel at ANIME EXPO in Los Angeles! It’s on Saturday, July 5th at 4PM (despite what AX’s out-of-date site schedule might tell you). The event is going to be called the MEGA64 PANEL OF DOOM, and is sure to be the most exciting, death-defying panel Anime Expo has ever seen! There will be some big surprises and shockers! Can you handle that? We think you can handle that.

We should also let you know that the TENTATIVE date of our next theater screening event is Thursday, July 24th (the week of Comic Con!). It’s going to be an exciting live event with the whole crew in action! You don’t want to miss it. Ticket preorders will be coming soon!

We’ll see you on Tuesday for the next podcast!

6/10/08: MEGA64′S NEW ASSASSIN’S CREED SKIT TOTALLY OVERSHADOWS PODCAST #53!

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

The Mega64 crew has released a brand new experiment, straight from Dr. Poque’s labs- It’s the new Assassin’s Creed skit! Watch as Rocco spends a day as Altair, an ancient assassin. Will he be able to clam his victim without attracting attention in a bustling Jerusalem marketplace? We’ll wager “no.”

Watch the Assassin’s Creed skit on Youtube, or download it in HD or Quicktime/iPod/iPhone format!

We should also note that even though we’ve worked with Ubisoft in the past, they didn’t have anything to do with the creation of this video. It’s made only by us (and Dr. Poque) out of homage to the game!

Once again, we thought we’d let you know that we have a panel at Anime Expo on Saturday, July 5th at 4PM in Room LP1 (Hall B). Their site still lists it as 5:30 or something, but no, it’s 4PM. For sure. It’s going to be a lot of fun- we have lots of videos, live antics, and some big surprises to unveil there! Come on, you know it’ll be fun.

Oh oh oh! Wait, we put up a new podcast! Here, watch it below or subscribe to the left. Shawn was badly injured during this week’s filming, so this week he is replaced by rapper/actor Dallas McLaughlin. Check it!

We’ll be back on Friday for Marcus’ Corner Episode 5! Later!

6/13/08: LET’S WATCH MARCUS’ CORNER EPISODE 5!

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Marcus is back on his usual Friday routine to bring you Marcus’ Corner Episode 5! This week, he pays a visit to world-famous video game composer/personality Tommy Tallarico. Be prepared for a very musically-inclined episode! You should also be prepared for intellectual conversation, of course. I figured that was kind of a given with Marcus.

Don’t forget to still check out the Assassin’s Creed skit we just released the other day! Man, we’re totally stunned at how fast this new one spread on Youtube. I guess it just feels good to come home sometimes, doesn’t it?

Some other interesting developments have happened! Be prepared for an epic podcast on Tuesday to see the current state of the Mega64 crew- Are they thriving on success or caught in a whirlwind of despair? All will be revealed Tuesday!

See you then!


6/17/08: WHERE HAVE ALL THE PODCASTS GONE

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

This day, Tuesday, the day that this site is typically graced with a new podcast, is in shambles! Not only is the podcast missing, but rumor has it that the Mega64 crew has split apart and gone their separate ways!

Could this be true? Where in the world are the Mega64 crew right now? Will they reunite in the end? Where will each of their journeys take them?

Find out when the delayed Mega64 Podcast 54 goes up at the end of the week, just following the Marcus’ Corner season finale!

THE TORTURE WILL FINALLY END
