LET US “KINECT” YOU WITH SOME MEGA64 NEWS!!

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Okay, okay, so we’re a little late in posting our latest Kinect-themed video produced for IGN, but we figured that its subject matter was SO futuristic, that we still had plenty of time to put it here. Does that even make sense? Whatever. Watch it here.

Before we bounce, we wanted to hit you guys with a couple quick, but very important, news notes!

  • Lots of people have been asking us about our involvement in PAX Prime in Seattle next month- Yes, we WILL have a booth there, and we just found out that our panel will (tentatively) be on Friday, September 3, at 4PM. We’ll post more in-depth details on PAX stuff soon.
  • There won’t be a new podcast this week. Live shows are still on hiatus until further notice, but… well, you’ll have to wait and see why our next recorded podcast is a bit delayed. It’ll be worth the wait!
  • There will also not be anything uploaded to any of our Youtube channels (whether it be Mega64 or just personal channels), until probably at least a week from now… if ever again. We ran into a pretty nasty problem, the fate of which is still, honestly, unknown. The good news is- When we are finally able to tell you what happened, you will die laughing. Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction. More on this later.
  • We have a really cool announcement or two coming up. Vague enough for you?
Don’t forget, HAT shirts, Mega64 Logo girls’ shirts, and Colossus shirts are all fully stocked and back in the store! Oh, but regular old logo shirts just sold out. Barf. See, this is why I tell you kids to buy stuff fast! Sheesh!

PODCAST SIGNAL INCOMING!!

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Yes, there WILL be a new Mega64 Podcast today… FINALLY… we hope.

It’s just not… done yet. We’re… having some trouble getting it together. Hmm.

I actually don’t know what we’re gonna do. I guess we’ll have to figure something out! Come back later today to see what we come up with.

Now to try and get the other guys motivated… hrmph.

PODCAST 149 IS FINALLY HERE!

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Hey guys! It’s been a while but we are back with podcast 149. After Comic Con, I think you can see that we were a little fed up with each other. We thought it best for us, and our friendships to take a little break. This is what happened on our time off. Enjoy another “Mega64 Quad Cast!!!!” Good luck listening to this one.

That is all for right now. We’ve got some stuff coming up, so keep an eye out for that. Goodbye.

MEGA64 AND PENNY ARCADE TEAM UP FOR AN “iDOSE” OF VIDEO MAGIC!!

Friday, August 13th, 2010

One of the big announcements we’ve been waiting to tell you about is our new friendship with Penny Arcade’s “PATV.” Well, I guess it really isn’t a NEW friendship, we’ve been going to PAX for years and stuff… but you get the idea.

Starting today, you’ll be seeing new monthly short films by Mega64 on Penny Arcade TV. We use the pretentious term “short films” because while what we might do on sites like IGN are fast-paced, current-gaming-event type stuff, the videos we put on PATV likely won’t be. We’ll be producing longer-form, thought-provoking art pieces that will make you glad you have this thing called “Internet.” Also, by watching these videos on PATV, you’re getting to see them weeks before we would normally put them on Youtube or whatever. SICK DEAL, BRO!!

So in honor of this momentous occasion, we thought it best to really “kick things off” with a video that would make the Penny Arcade guys completely regret ever making this deal in the first place: It’s an educational short film called “iDosing.” This piece demonstrates the up and coming danger our children face in the form of digital drugs, and how to successfully overcome them. We hope you find value in this piece as we encourage you to “put the headphones down.”

If you’d like to talk more about iDosers you know, or anything else, come back this Sunday, as it looks like we might be doing a live podcast stream here on Mega64.com around 8PM pacific.

We’ll have some more awesome announcements soon.

MEGA64 PANEL FUN, LIVE SHOW TO FOLLOW!!

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Today we have uploaded our Q&A session from the Mega64 Panel at Anime Expo 2010. As usual, we cut out the videos we showed (for secretive purposes) and all memes and references to “the game” (for tolerance purposes). We hope you understand. Also, we are finally uploading stuff to Youtube again, so thank god for that.

Anyway, don’t forget, we’ll be going live on Ustream tonight, around 8PM pacific. Don’t be mad if we’re not totally punctual. Watch below…
or at Ustream!

PODCAST SESQUICENTENNIAL

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Hey guys, in this episode: watch and celebrate our 150th podcast. With talk of the movies “The Expendables,” and “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” That and there is a 10 minute conversation about anime… I can’t tell you what it’s about, but I can tell you that it happened. All that plus our friends from Jabronie Pictures stop by. WATCH IT!!!! …or at least give it a listen.

Come back soon, we got some things to tell you.

ATTENTION GAME-LORDS!! GAMEDAYS 2010 IS COMING!!

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

As you may have heard on this week’s podcast, Mega64 has announced GameDays 2010!

In an attempt to combat last year’s disastrous attempt, we’re gonna be chilling at Disneyland on Sunday, September 26th, roaming around and meeting gamers/gamelords such as yourselves!

It’s about time we had a day at Disneyland, isn’t it?

There’ll be more information on this page coming soon. Check it out and be sure to get a Gamedays shirt to commemorate the event (We know they still say 2009, but that’s to commemorate its important birth. Duh).

In all honesty, it’s gonna be totally chill- we’ll have a list of a handful of things we know we’re doing that day, and we’ll let you know where to meet us around then. No biggie. Us game-men love to relax, right?

Again, more details on all that soon.

In much sadder news, a bunch of stuff is sold out of our online store. HAT shirts and Colossus shirts are already sold out. One of these exhibited great design- The other was a shirt that said “HAT” on it. Both, however, equally tragic.

Some sizes of other shirts are missing too. Your best bet is to come see us at PAX next month and pray for a restock!

Some more very cool announcements coming very very soon!
