3/5/07: THE QUICKEST NEWS UPDATE EVER

Monday, March 5th, 2007

We’re about to fly off to GDC, but we wanted to let you know that if you plan on buying the new “Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2″ game for the Xbox 360 this week, expect to get a new Mega64 video- Apparently when you buy the game, you get a link to a secret website that has a mysterious video (made by us here at Mega64) on it. This video is undoubtedly, unarguably the best video ever made for a game, so you definitely want to buy Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 just for that.

We also wanted to apologize for the Version 1 DVD not being back on sale yet- The place where our DVDs are shipped from is moving locations, so it’s taking a little while. We’d say we’ll have them back on sale within a week, two at the worst.

Okay, that’s all, seriously this time, we’re leaving.

4/17/07: NEW “LOCAL LEADERS” VIDEO! MEGA64 BACK ON SPIKETV! ALSO PAX wait what

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

In a shocking turn of events, someone has leaked Mega64′s “Local Leaders” video to YouTube! This video was made for Ubisoft as an exclusive video that you get when you buy Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 for Xbox 360. But, as if to shatter Ubisoft’s dreams forever, some cretin uploaded it to the popular video site, YouTube! So we thought, if it leaked, we might as well show off our leak, right? Watch the video, soak it in, and if you want to download a fancier version of the video to your hard drive… buy the game, I guess?

If that new video doesn’t do it for you, you may be better off just watching our recent Super Mario Bros. skit for the 600th time. But what if I said that this time, you could watch it on national TV? That’s right, Mega64 is making another appearance on SpikeTV’s “GameHead” on Friday, April 27th! It’s a Shigeru Miyamoto tribute show, and they’ll be showing our SMB skit we filmed with him, plus a bonus segment featuring the Mega64 crew giving their take on the genius that is Miyamoto. Watch it, won’t you?

Also, we just signed up to do something called “PAX.” We thought that was either a TV network, or a Kevin Spacey movie. But I guess it’s some convention? Oh well, it’ll probably be dead, but I guess we’ll be there anyway! More on that later.

See you on Sunday night/Monday morning for the next podcast!

4/23/07: “A LITTLE BIT OF PODCAST 16, A LITTLE BIT OF MEGA64 ON SPIKETV” -LOU BEGA

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

Download our latest podcast, episode 16! We talk about our latest “Local Leaders” video a bit, and a lot of drama surrounding a personal BFF of ours.

Also, don’t forget that you can catch the Mega64 crew on SpikeTV’s “GameHead” this Friday, April 27th, talking about Mr. Miyamoto. It’s pretty brief, but it’s packed with so much inspiration that you’ll have to turn your TV off afterwards anyway. ‘Cause you’ll wanna go do stuff.

WE’LL BE BACK LATER WITH NEW VIDEOS AND STUFF SO YOU BETTER COME BACK!!!!!

OR WE’LL “PWN” YOU HAHAHA (A TYPO)

PWN

5/1/07: MEGA64 TALKS MIYAMOTO, PUTS THE LOGO SHIRTS BACK IN STOCK, AND THEN HIGH FIVES EVERYONE

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007


Last week, SpikeTV aired a thorough, tell-all interview with the Mega64 crew about working with the genius that is Shigeru Miyamoto. Now you can watch that very clip right here! Don’t be surprised if your tribute, you know, moves you to tears or something.

And our old school Mega64 Classic Logo shirts are FINALLY BACK ON SALE! We also unearthed a big crate of Mega64 E3 2005 DVDs that we didn’t even know existed (Pretty random, eh?), so we’re throwing ‘em in for free. Not a bad deal, Larry. Not a bad deal.

We’ll see you this weekend for the podcast!

5/7/07: MEGA64 PODCAST 17 BLOWIN UP YOUR FLOPPY DISKS

Monday, May 7th, 2007

The Mega64 Podcast Episode 17 just blasted onto the internet! Throw it on a floppy and share it with your friends. Some interesting nuggets on this one.

We gotta apologize- The new “classic logo” shirts are selling about a thousand times faster than we originally thought. We’ve actually already run out of the old E3 DVD’s that came with them. Yeah, ouch. But if you order now you’ll still get a sweet mystery prize. If that’s not good enough, mail us a blank Iomega Zip Disk and we’ll fill it with all the same videos. Play it at school!

You’ll also want to get ready for the new series of ads we’ve just created for “Call of Juarez” for the Xbox 360. They are… something else. Hoo boy. They’ll be out soon- Warm up your thumb drive!

See you then!

5/24/07: WATCH MEGA64′S MUSICALLY ANNOYING AD CAMPAIGN FOR CALL OF JUAREZ!

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

If you’ve been out and about the internet this week, you may have noticed some new ads Ubisoft released for their new Xbox 360 game, Call of Juarez. You may have noticed they were very musical and VERY annoying. Well, you can thank us for these nuggets of advertising gold- And you can thank us even more by checking out the videos again on this site in their uncut state!

“Average Cowboy” is a dope-fresh hip-hop trip through the old west!

“Cowpokez” is… uh. Yeah. I have no idea.

We also included MP3s of the song in each video. Put them on your Halo themed Zune.

Enjoy the videos, but remember, this is only one of this week’s many updates. The BIG one is yet to come. Remember:

THIS WEEK =

See you in a few days!
