Mega64 Podcast 623 - Death Soaking Director's Cut

[@mega64]

We had some issues with the video/audio sync, some problems with the cameras but we’re getting that resolved for next time. Pardon our dust!

I’ve been a Mega 64 fan for over a decade. The biggest fan you can imagine. However the technical difficulties experienced during this episode have convinced me that all of you are hack frauds and I’m currently Googling how to cancel my 36 month twitch subscription.

[@devine86]

I forgive you.

[@Neuroticmancer]

@@codyw518 tough but fair

[@kholt1776]

That’s ok

[@TheWisestWizards]

I learned about soaking from Mega64 a while back and now Mega64 is learning about soaking for the first time. This is the Death Loop.

[@DangerMenace]

Derrick has been making the "Episode #666: The Podcast of The Beast" joke for so many years. I can't believe we're actually getting there...

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

there is still time for mega64 to fall

[@greatsupper]

I just watched podcast 348 the other day and he said that, now I hear him say it here lolol

[@tastyslopsicle2162]

How is Rocco gonna show off his new socks with this set smh

[@DJMankiewicz]

"coolest thing I had never seen" is such a good minor Garrettism

[@zerek44]

are we just supposed to pretend that they haven't talked about soaking before?

[@ravenkliff]

It got pushed out to make room for new memories

[@Peachy_Tiger]

In this case it was an expansion on the previous conversation. Free DLC, if you will.

[@charlesw7397]

Usually when they repeat something on the podcast, at least one person remembers them talking about it on a podcast episode before. I was surprised that literally no one remembered talking about soaking before lol

[@StrawberryDonutKing]

Wait...they talked about this before? Oh no. I got fricking Mandela'd!

[@zerek44]

@@StrawberryDonutKing must have been 10 years ago LOL

[@ghostynesss]

River City Girls has a secret ending. You can unlock it after getting that fake ending.

[@dukeofjukes]

glad we could have a good soaking talk this episode. its been a long time coming

[@StrawberryDonutKing]

Coincidentally, if you soak, it IS a long time before coming.

[@shwinger51187]

I saw Audioslave around 2007 and they had no opener. In addition to their own songs, they just played a bunch of Rage Against the Machine songs while Chris Cornell stepped off stage. 3 hours of great music

[@h1ps7q]

Nice

[@narutobroken]

Audio seems unsynced from video

[@JacobHTMHF]

Definitely is

[@kholt1776]

You can close your eyes to fix.

[@whensummersets]

The issue is pretty brief, only a few minutes

[@LiquidButterAlternative]

Derrick looks lifeless today, he's really scarred by those drums.

[@Doctorzzim]

I like how they just talked about memory and go on to talking about how they've never heard about soaking. I LEARNED WHAT SOAKING IS FROM THE MEGA64 PODCAST!

[@runescaper1333]

The 'soaking talk' feels like a deja vu

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

As a huge KISS fan, Rocco's character arc of like, becoming a KISS fan, is one of my favorites so far of this series.

[@birth0fserpents]

kevin's rosy cheeks give me pure joy

The pudding bit is one of my favorite parts of Mega64, so am glad you held the line.

[@JMoneyMillionaire]

Glad I tuned into the annual soak-cast

[@Surselythomas]

Kevin needs to be on camera more, really enjoyed this episode!

[@cartoongrump]

14:55 I hate that I instantly knew what Rocco was about to bring up

[@gametones]

He said he was soak confused

[@RollaJones]

Welcome to SDCC. That's right, Sean Didn't Come Cast.

[@Gollypon]

not even lying i was taking a shit when i clicked on this so the beginning ensures this episode is the most meta post modern episode of the podcast yet

[@puweyxil]

Never engaged with Gooncon, but I have my receipt from the Mega64 Version 1 Double DVD set purchased from AWFULMART in 11/2004. (It is unclear if I am still in possession of the DVDs or not)

[@ElectricKoolaidAcid]

12:04 - The reason time feels to pass quicker as you age, is because it's relative to your total time alive in this life. For example, if you're 10 years old, the length of 1 year was 10% of your entire life. Thus, it feels longer than it would for someone who's 100 years old as 1 year would only be 1% of their total time alive. It scales as you age. - All love.

[@TheJohnston65]

Migraine Maker had some quality kits. Their gongs are the industry standard

[@leebtheloser]

Soaking relies on God's vision being based on movement like a T-Rex

[@mddowlin]

Also at Gamestop they put a little circular piece of tape over the little opening and that's how they let you "return it as new" if you leave the tape on. Also the tape leaves so much glue on the case so you have to tell them not to use it

[@howilearned2stopworrying508]

Love y'all - Happy Birthday Derrick!

[@TortoiseMaximus]

Kevin on the cast always makes for a unique vibe for the episode

[@pearstrike]

Insanely cursed podcast title lmaooo

[@animeking]

With all the house talk I thought we'd finally get to know how Rocco dust and up keeps all his figures. As a fellow man child I'm always looking for advice on that.

[@JadedDarkness]

hello fellow soakers

[@JHorse508]

When I was a little boy I wanted a super soaker!

[@thefriendlynoob7]

Pretty cool of the main guy Kevin to join them, it boosts the morale of the B team they need it

[@Lolatusername]

Soaking? my youth pastor wouldnt like this

[@pumpkinjuice7700]

Was literally pooping when I watched this I feel called out :'^)

[@TheOldYoungOne]

I went to see Red Hot Chili Peppers in Glasgow, and Baby Metal were their supporting act. It was the most polar opposite of bands coming together but it they were actually really good! I also had two tickets to see Cage the Elephant two years ago, sadly I couldn't get anyone to go with me due to my girlfriend not being able to get the shift off work, and I didn't end up going in the end, I wish I did because then covid happened...

[@ssjaken]

Reminds me of the time I went to see Adema in concert. The opening group was a local HipHop group, such a bizzare combination

[@DigitalBroomstick]

I saw that same setup in Birmingham, great concert, baby metal was fucking weird though

[@WordTweak]

Overdrawn at the memory bank ... now that was a great MST3K ep.

[@RonaldMacK]

With this new set, Rocco talking about GameStop's last-copy opened full-price policy made me think for a moment that I was watching The View.

[@matt1267]

Don't take this personally, but your new set up is terrible. The little bookshelves in front of you hides a substantial portion of your bodies. This includes blocking a lot of merch you all wear. I have bought literally hundreds of dollars of merch based off the stuff I have seen you guys wear. I worry that we won't see any classics like Shawn's feet or Rocco's cools socks anymore. I also feel like the laid back look of sitting in couches and comfy chairs is more relaxing for viewers. This new setup makes it seem like you are KZbin newscasters. The shelves also move and are very cheap. The tv thing is also hard for viewers to see. It was much better when the callers video could be overlaid.

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

A podcast where they are all in tubs would be siick

[@dustinpatsios554]

i like the new infomercial studio set up

[@goldmoon251]

I can totally see you guys gettin a dunking booth for episode 666.

[@ilgonlineandy]

The GameStop stores in my area put a little round sticker over the opening of the case if its the last "new" copy in the store, and it's one of those stickers that you can't remove without causing all of the goo to still be stuck to the case. I denied purchase one time after the employee demanded that he had to put the sticker on because of a corporate policy. Fuck off with that shit. I haven't purchased anything from GameStop since.

[@LiquidShamanMan]

"Jokey yuck yuck" is my new favourite Garretism

[@Starman_Dx]

Curious how Rocco feels about them bringing back Lord Zedd to the current show.

[@gametones]

Derrick, Deathloop on PS5's UI has a lot of ways to remind you what you can do in each level and helps yoh keep track of their features. I feel like you might want to turn off things that lead main quest help off though. You can keep track of the way to solve it on your own. I think you'd appreciate it.

[@mkhpsyco]

Soaking huh? Where I come from, we call this the Provo float.

[@InfinityCrossover]

man idk if it is the new set or what but the camera quality is top notch

[@INRamos13]

41:29 I laughed way too much at Rocco's delivery of this joke. I shouldn't have but I did.

"Just keep soaking it!' - Dr. Vindaloo

There's a soaking clip from Podcast 505. Derrick isn't there, but Rocco is, so... remember off?

soaking cast

[@easmusiceas]

1:23:22, a very common misconception that I think deserves to be noted about The Medium, the soundtrack is actually NOT just done by Akira Yamaoka, but was produced in a collaborative effort between Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski, who is a very talented composer in his own right. He worked on the soundtrack for games like Layers of Fear, and my personal favorite, Observer. He's also a SUPER nice dude, very personable, respectable, and definitely deserves the opportunity to work with an absolute master like Yamaoka-san. Totally understandable though that people don't realize this, since the game was heavily marketed as having Akira Yamaoka as the game's composer, with Arkadiusz Reikowski sort of being brushed under the rug by the marketing team.

[@iownu92]

You’d think if every other member of a band were down for a reunion, then they could make it work, but Robert Plant as a principle, refuses to tour with Led Zeppelin because he doesn’t want to live in the past.

[@ghosttones3422]

I miss the old set, this feels too formal

[@LancerFFS]

Aha you changed the shelves after my comment last week! Hire me as a handy man

[@hamfranky]

I'm just soaking it all in.

[@GrazCore]

Let the record state on whatever episode number this podcast is on that Rocco invented “Butt Soaking” which saved countless Mormons from damnation.

[@montoshi]

Soaking is the best thing since bread for the Mormons I see a #win

[@SYLXM]

You need to put lights behind the large black 64 in the middle of the set. It's too dark. Looks good otherwise!

[@william_vanhoof]

Gotta say, the new podcast set is growing on me. Looks super classy! Those facades on the square shelves were a great touch, too. I feel like I've taken a wrong turn at an E3 panel that's found itself hosted outside of an Olive Garden.

[@gregoriolupercio5535]

At 31 minutes. In my opinion Iron Maiden beats kiss at putting on a show.

[@gregoriolupercio5535]

Also the musics more badass too.

[@dutrareis]

love the new set's aesthetic, lighting and camera angles, but the fact that it's no longer in a living room configuration makes me feel like there's something essential missing... I'm not the sort of guy that dislikes change, just think this might be where the "uncomfortable" feedback is coming from

[@WannaTradePants]

I keep thinking Derrick has a 'fro.

[@Oneaphelion]

"I had a sister?" from Garrett? Me: huh what happened???
