BEHOLD, THE POWER OF INDIE MAN!!

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Indie Man, the superhero who defends indie game developers by sabotaging the big guys, has now appeared on the internet!

This video, another from the series made for this year’s GDC, contains acts of extreme indie game heroism. It also explains some embarrassing business moves. You can watch it here or on Youtube in HD.

When we showed this video at the Independent Game Festival portion of the GDC awards show, it was met with a particularly surprised reaction- Not because of the video’s content, but because the video actually got cut off in the middle of a Nintendo joke. Though it was just a simple technical error, many people thought that perhaps one of the major companies we parodied had actually stepped in and pulled the plug. Though that was definitely not the case, we may still continue to say it was. You know, to keep some element of street cred and all.

Come back tomorrow for this week’s recorded Mega64 Podcast. And be sure to come see us at PAX East in Boston starting this Friday! See you then!

PODCAST 137′S TIME HAS COME!!

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

Hey guys! It’s been a long time. We are back from a break and now it’s time to give you Podcast 137! We have a lot to talk about, our time at GDC, Filming with Gabe Newell, and how we danced the night away. That, and we played some video games. So… you know… we talk about that too. Listen up!

Make sure to check out our video for the Independent Game Festival: “Indie Man!!!” We also got a new shipment of our “TIM” beanies in… so do what you got to do! If you live on the East coast you have NO EXCUSE not to come see us at PAX East. Unless you didn’t buy your ticket cause… yo dude, that convention sold out! That’s all for now, see you in Boston!

MEGA64 GETS E-MOTIONAL!!

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Our new “Motion Controls” video we made for IGN tackles a delicate subject. It doesn’t necessarily tackle it delicately, though. In fact, it’s pretty loud and annoying. But watch it anyway, please?

We’re back from PAX East now, and the show was absolutely nuts. We’ll have more to say about that tomorrow, along with some other stuff. There won’t be a new podcast today, because of how crazy Boston was, but we WILL give you another cool surprise soon… and another one not too terribly long after that. Please stay tuned!
