BOSTON, PREPARE!! MEGA64 STRIKES PAX EAST THIS WEEK!!

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

Can you believe that PAX East is this soon?! Geez, it’s like the GDC was just yesterday… Okay, actually, it was the day before yesterday. Regardless, we can’t believe we’re traveling again. Fortunately it’s for a good cause- To see all you beautiful east coast people at PAX East in Boston!

This is going to be a great year to attend, dude. Our panel on Friday, the Mega64 “Panel 2 The Grave,” will be one of our most fun shows yet. We have a TON of new videos to debut, and lots of fun to be had! Remember: It’ll be at 12:30PM on Friday in the Manticore Theatre.

But as usual, we will also have a booth at the show. We’ve got a much bigger one than last year too, with way more cool stuff! We will have our Con Exclusive DVD available- It’s the one we previously offered at Comic Con and PAX Prime 2010. So, y’know. just disregard the big “2010″ on the disc art. There’s not many left, so this will definitely be the last time it’s offered. There’ll be plenty of other surprises too! Come down and check ‘em out.

In other, non-PAX news, we’ve been getting more and more emails that say stuff like “Hey I saw on IMDB that you’re gonna be in Tom Hanks’ next movie,” or “Hey IMDB says Shawn is starring opposite Whoopi Goldberg in Kevin Smith’s new flick,” etc. Please, please don’t trust the IMDB like this. It’s all user-submitted fake information, and we are so tired of having to tell people we’re not gonna be co-directing Martin Scorsese’s next biopic on Hitler. We will always bring you the latest Mega64 news right here, on mega64.com itself!

Once again, we’re sad to tell you that there’ll be no live show tonight, and no podcast up on Tuesday either. But do come back tomorrow, as we’ll have a HUGE

MYSTERY SOLVED!! YU SUZUKI TELLS US HOW SHENMUE WAS GOING TO END!!

Monday, March 7th, 2011

It is our privilege to give you today’s video- The first of a handful of skits we showed at GDC 2011- and possibly the most significant. Yu Suzuki has agreed to finally reveal how his unfinished masterpiece, the Shenmue game series, was going to end. What was intended may SHOCK you… We almost question its authenticity. Yu wouldn’t lie to us, right?

This video features concept art by Emily Irwin, and features the Mega64 cast… and some other guy (???).

Send this to as many people as you can, please. It’s the closure we all deserve.

MEGA64 INVADES GDC TOMORROW NIGHT ON SPIKETV!!

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

Tomorrow night on SpikeTV, GTTV is running its Game Developers’ Conference special- And who better to rove the show floor than two cool dudes like Rocco and Derrick?

They’ll be showing our official coverage of GDC in a segment called “Cool Guys On The Beat,” where we try to find the best game of the show. We cut right through all this indie game BS and find what will really change the world! Tune in Thursday night at 1AM to SpikeTV to see what happens.

Snoop Dogg is also in the episode.

MEGA64 TOURS GDC WITH GT!! AND PAX IS STILL HAPPENING!!

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Rocco and Derrick decided to seek out the BEST GAME OF GDC, and did so with style in our segment for Gametrailers, “COOL GUYS ON THE BEAT.” Watch us be really cool reporters who respect the industry in their search for perfection! Watch below or at Gametrailers!

Lest you think we were actually mean to these indie developers, they all knew we were kidding, and you should research each one of their games. All of these guys are producing some really incredible stuff. We had more fun playing indie games this year than any other GDC ever.
Thanks to ALL who came to our PAX panel today! Remember, we’ll still be at PAX East at our booth all weekend. Pay us a visit!

PODCAST 173 IS THE TALE OF TWO CITIES

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Well hello! It feels like a lifetime ago that we gave you podcast 172, but I assure you it’s only been a month. During that time, we went to GDC, and filmed with Game Developers Yu Suzuki, and Cliff Bleszinski! Upon returning from GDC we jumped back on a plane, and headed to Boston for PAX East! With all that going on, I bet you have a pretty good idea as to what we are going to talk about. Listen to this super sized podcast here!

Before you go make sure you check out our Mega64 store! We just got our new “VG Fact Checkerz” shirts in stock! We also just reprinted Mega64 Version 1, with brand new disc art, as well as our Mega64 “System” Hoodie! Check it out, and I’ll see you next week!
