7/8/08: MEGA64 RETURNS FROM ANIME EXPO WITH “COSPLAYERZ” AND PODCAST 56! MEGA64 COMES TO UK TELEVISION! CON EXCLUSIVE DVD ANNOUNCED! AND AN E3 MYSTERY? MY HEAD IS GOING TO EXPLO-

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008


The Mega64 crew has returned from their breathtaking panel at Anime Expo with gifts for you!

First up is a video they premiered at Anime Expo, entitled “COSPLAYERZ: STRIKE A POZE.” The crew pays tribute to the fine American pasttime of cosplaying as they suit up and pose for their best shots, and meet plenty of friends along the way!

Then they filmed the Mega64 Podcast #56, where they reminisced of their wild weekend- But we’ll get to that in a second- We have some big news updates first!

Ladies and gentleman (or at least, the British ones)… MEGA64 IS COMING TO TV. The Sky channel has signed to air classic Mega64 half-hour episodes (Version 1 and 2) during their block of gaming programming. There might even be new episodes if enough of you guys watch it! We’ll have more details later, but man… those Brits are pretty gutsy, eh?

We’d also like to announce that this summer, we’ll be selling a CON 2008 EXCLUSIVE DVD at each of our upcoming convention appearances! It’s packed with tons of videos such as:

-Assassin’s Creed skit!
-Street Fighter II skit!
-The complete Marcus’ Corner series!
-The GDC videos!
-Poqueoblog!
-IGN Insider videos “IGN Awards” and “Wii Fit Makes You Hot!”
-And the FEATURE PRESENTATION of Mega64′s film collaboration with game industry visionary Tommy Tallarico- The exciting new movie “GAMER WARZ.” You have to see it to believe it.

The DVD will be full of other video surprises too- But perhaps the biggest shocker of all is on the disc’s exterior- This DVD will have REVOLUTIONARY NEW TECHNOLOGY to make them SMELL LIKE FRESH BAKED CINNAMON ROLLS. This is NOT a joke. They will smell DELICIOUS. Your first chance to pick up the disc will be at Comic Con in San Diego, so be sure to stop by our booth #5364!

Don’t forget to buy tickets to our screening that week too, it’s gonna be fun!

E3, the big video game press event, is next week- And Mega64 just might be involved in it somehow. In fact, it might actually be really, really cool. Stay tuned.

OKAY THAT’S IT FOR NOW WATCH THE PODCAST BELOW OR SUBSCRIBE ON THE LEFT OKAY BYE!!
