PODCAST 76 IS GOING TO KILL YOU!

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Okay, so that might not be true, but it will take you to places you never thought possible. Such as our podcast set… but get this, it’s really messy. In this, the blackest of podcasts, we discuss the panic of black Friday and the confusion of cyber Monday. Plus, we discuss our new DVD, shirts, and Hayden Christensen. There is so much in this podcast that you’ll feel like you’re being trampled to death by radness. If you consider yourself an “audio podcast person” than I would click here.

That’s all for now, make sure to check back soon for some exciting announcements. And if you haven’t bought our Version 1 Special Edition or a Tr1gg3r S3r10u5 shirt yet I would get on that!

DISAPPEARANCE!! WHAT MYSTERIES AWAIT THESE MEGA64 MEN?

Friday, December 5th, 2008

A shroud of mystery has veiled the Mega64 crew this week, as they have vanished from their typical video-filming ways. The truth is, they’ve actually traveled to a far-away land, for reasons as yet unrevealed! Because of this… Tuesday’s Podcast #77 might go up a little late. If it even goes up at all. We really have no idea what’s going on, here. But we’ll keep you posted on what we find out! This’ll make more sense… later.

We also wanted to pop in and let you know that our “Mega64 Time!” compilation DVD is now sold out. We’re already getting people asking when it’ll return, but we honestly don’t know. “Time” was always a kind of special engagement, so we’ll have to look into the ramifications of bringing it back. We’ll keep you posted- But in the meantime, pick up anything else in our online store! We’ve still got V1 Special Editions and Trigger Serious shirts in supply, but they’re going fast.

Would you mind nominating us again in the Screwattack Gaming’s 1337 awards? Once again, we’re gunning for “Best Independent Gaming Show” and “Best Gaming Podcast.” Can you help quench the crew’s thirst for success? Remember, you can vote and nominate us once a day! Do it every morning that you wake up! Play a game with yourself and don’t breathe that day until you nominate us for those categories! It’ll be fun!

To be continued…

NO PODCAST THIS WEEK- THE WORLD WEEPS

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Alas, there will be no Mega64 Podcast this week. We tried to make it happen, but it just wasn’t working out. There were too many secret plans and mysterious organizations keeping it from materializing.

We’ll try to make it up to you guys with the rest of the month’s podcasts. We have some great surprises coming up!

Don’t forget our Version 1 Special Edition DVD is still on sale in our online store- We’re getting more Christmas orders by the day, so order fast! Trigger Serious shirts still available too!

We can only try to counter your disappointment with song. Enjoy.

GAMER WARZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Today on Mega64.com, we present to you a film that originally debuted on last summer’s Con Exclusive DVD. It is an emotional, evocative work entitled “Gamer Warz-” An adrenaline-fueled short film by the cast of Mega64 with special guest Tommy Tallarico. The film showcases the rivalry between gamers caught in a world where the success of a console is in question. With rich character development, bold plot twists, and “just a bit” of social commentary, “Gamer Warz” is a short film that defines an era. Watch it now or even see it in HD (the way it was intended)!

Shawn will be putting up this week’s podcast in just a little while, too. Look for that, it’s a fun one.

Last night I went to the SpikeTV Video Game Awards at Sony Studios in Los Angeles. The last time I had gone to that event was the show in 2006, which we all cringed pretty hard through (not that AFI is anything less than engaging). This year, however, I actually had a pretty good time. There were still the occasional awkward roadblock, but overall, I think it was a decent compromise between the game industry and Hollywod celebrity. Jack Black was a far more engaging host than Mr. Jackson, games won the awards they deserved (mostly), etc. Maybe it was an entirely different experience viewing it from home, I guess- I came home to a lot of complaints that it was the same old stuff from years before, that it had dragged. I didn’t really understand the “dragging” comments, as, drivel or not, it was fast-moving drivel. But I think a lot of people continue to have expectations of the show that are unfortunately never going to be met. The SpikeTV VGAs are never going to be an industry keynote, they will never be a prestigious medallion given to the unsung heroes of game development. The VGAs are spectacle. They are clips of hot games and 50 Cent rapping. The SpikeTV folks have already done us a favor by no longer giving awards to stuff like The Family Guy game or Most Badass Doritos-Based Flash Game Powered By Doritos. The fact that they let Wil Wright speak for five whole minutes (an eternity in awards-time) is a testament to their improvement in itself. They’re slowly but surely finding a balance for gamers and the cable TV crowd. Enjoy it for what it is.

The Wii Fit girl gyrated her butt kind of near my head. It was awesome.

Enjoy Podcast 77, coming up in a little bit.

It was worth the wait! Podcast 77!
