8/19/08: Long Lost Rejected Ad By Mega64 Surfaces! Podcast 61 Emerges! Sexy64 Contest Begings! FanExpo Awaits!


After over a year of being buried away in the Mega64 vaults, we’ve finally released an ad we did for a guitar-based Nintendo DS game (which we won’t say the title of). It ended up catching heat from the ratings board (not the game company) over something we did in it. It’s uncut and a little long, but watch it with some friends and see if you can guess why the ad got rejected before the video is over. It’s a fun challenge, because you’re probably going to guess wrong. Very wrong.

Accompanying that is a recut of the video we did to please the ratings board! Hopefully they’ll approve this one- What do you think? Which version do you like better?

We also wanted to tell you that we’ve officially begun our new Sexy64 contest! The guys-only gaming league is offering a VERY sexy prize to the best entry in one of these categories.

Weating a Sexy64 shirt, do one of these:

-Take a photo of yourself picking up girls (But NOT letting them play games)

OR

-Make a Youtube video showcasing your sexiness and/or recruiting new members!

Send your entries to sexy64@mega64.com! The contest will close in a couple weeks (date TBA) so be quick!

We are also going to give a separate prize to any girls that want to enter, too- If you’re a girl, just send whatever you want (we don’t care) to that email address as well. And we will judge you. Harshly.

The last news item of the day is a reminder that we are coming to FanExpo in Toronto this weekend, August 22-24! Don’t forget we’ll be at Booth 539, and having a panel on Sunday at 2PM in room 715A! We’re premiering some rad new stuff so you don’t want to miss it!

Just like Comic Con, you’ll be able to pick up a Con 2008 Exclusive DVD at the booth, and if you think you’re fan enough, ask about the trivia challenge to win one of our few remaining secret posters…

Oh oh! Here’s this week’s podcast! We review George Lucas’ latest masterpiece, the Clone Wars. Watch below or subscribe to the left! Until next week…
