MEGA64 PODCAST: EPISODE 435

[@SteveRudzinski]

Derrick I have to say how much I appreciate your words on this episode (I just watched it now). I really love Mega64 and I respect you as a director yourself, so hearing you say that about my movie honestly means a lot to me. It made me smile pretty big. Thank you so much, I mean it. I can't wait to see you guys in person again!

[@tempatempo3805]

Seriously love your Podcasts guys. Always rewatch highlights on your archive channel like the good old the man from boston. Always funny. Keep it up. Peace and Respect!

[@kandykirby]

You must be new here. This comment section is for shitting on the podcast, not praising it.

[@tempatempo3805]

Wish i knew the podcast where Shawn said that when people in the comments disrespect them it is not funny since they are not their friends. If Shaw calls Rocco a dick it is funny since they know each other for a long time. When you guys call him that it aint funny.

[@ColdShoulderMedia]

I truly appreciate Brian's professionalism when running the show. It's a nice change of pace.

[@redhotbbqfries4L]

29:30 - 55:24 Starwars segment, just incase you either wanted to watch it or skip it

[@bandeanies]

TightJeans thanks dog i was struggling

[@hypnotizeddream2099]

TightJeans THANK YOU!!!! Omg

[@redhotbbqfries4L]

next weeks podcast rocco makes a joke about " ok guys we're gonna talk about starwars in this episode, starwars cast, for the lulz guys, cuz we know youre gonna love it"

[@666M4GG07666]

"Do you know what I mean?" - Rocco Botte

[@Brimbo]

I try to guess when he's going to say it while he's talking and I'm ALWAYS right.

[@MegaFat1]

Him and Slowbeef should be on a podcast.

[@EthePianoMan]

"One hundred percent agree" - Eric Badour

[@CorndogNinja]

"real quick"

[@worm5593]

"I was just talking to * someone * about this" - Rocco Botte

[@jamesgreen3410]

Please stop inviting Sean, lets get a new guest.

[@nypad5]

Shawn reminds me of Bane when he puts his hands on his football gear.

[@SeanUnkempt]

The Gamez Alive Podcast is one of my favorite mega64 videos. It's inspiration spawns from a creative, auteur director then you watch the video and it's the funniest, most Looney tunes thing ever

[@danmurawski5790]

Mega64 bois never disappoint

[@proberush]

smoking while listening to derrick talk about smoking instrumentality man

[@nibiru2x410]

#1 Star Wars podcast on the internet.

[@chase36chase]

mega64 is the best videogame-comedy channel on youtube and in time and space. its true guys, absolutely fantastic

[@POSTELVIS]

I just don't how you guys can still do podcasts after that masterpiece.

[@billyjane020]

It's cool when you realize that these three share the same love for film making.

[@mattsmokes2505]

I love you guys so much. Been watching you sense I was 9 and im 19 now.

[@ghostspartan81]

'Rickle Vids'

[@FireProMMA]

Coffee and cigarettes. In 2017 Rocco officially becomes Italian

[@LouMurk]

19:00 12,000 subs is amazing, momentum is the key to getting to a million quicker.

[@drifter1818]

Old Shawn looks like Easy Pete from New Vegas

[@ceeme03]

Derrick never tone it down. Be yourself, a proud Mexican.

[@Shaka.Flores]

Fat Guy With A Voice thought he was Puerto Rican

[@ceeme03]

It's a joke because nearly every week he has to mention it. lol I figured any long term fan would get that reference :)

[@alexceleski576]

Anyone else immediately think of that episode of Beavis & Butthead during the theme song?

[@roxel7522]

calm down guys

[@SukiWukiDookie]

About the Star Wars Land thing: it would be better if when a shop owner in character denied you service, there was a Jedi waiting around the corner to use his mind trick "power", or a similar set-up to avoid any angry customers. In any case, there should be an obvious disclaimer upon entering the park that you're entering THEIR world. Just a thought!

[@newwavex8665]

This show is the old Space Jam

[@turkeysamwich00]

28:25 "someday I'm gonna be the bearded lady but for now I'm just a soul patch girl"

[@JoTheVeteran]

So the answer to the beginning of the podcast is "goodnight!" ... Wow... that's profound man. Mind blown!

[@Drummaniac17]

The boys are making six figures just from Patreon gat dayum

[@HipsterKaren]

"Let's get to 1,000,000 subscribers!" KZbin implodes.

[@FudTron5000]

that intro is something special

[@braxtonm9712]

good ass podcast. love when you guys talk star wars

[@javelinman7]

Derrick was funny as hell tonight: "Maybe that's what Disney was doing!"

[@steadyslayer]

It's all down from here for rocko

[@Grapefruit5000]

What the fuck where's GAMEZ ALIVE PODCAST Season 01 Episode 02 (SECOND EPISODE) - Mega64?

[@alexceleski576]

female Shawn looks like Charlotte Flair

[@thorbahn3]

I hope Maynard plays a First Order general in Star Wars land. He kills it at the tiki room, but his look would make a great general.

[@Fallenangel4275]

What Daisy Ridley probably meant is that Luke is no longer the idolized hero of the galaxy, he's a tired old man with no hope in the jedi.

[@KaladinVegapunk]

I always liked Mike more than Joel, and Rifftrax is kicking ass fine without any reboot of mst3k. a hilarious continuation of him and the bots, Mike and bill are always so damn witty, it's soooo damn funny with countless references to video games, movies and pop culture that we all love from metal gear to leeroy Jenkins haha. they send up star wars, matrix, old classics like mst3k, it's better than Joels super dry sarcastic humor. super stoked you're a fan of rifftrax Rocco.

[@DrButthugger]

Did you listen to Podcast 432 aftershow? Their friend Dallas talks about hanging out and doing shots with the Rifftrax crew i.e mike and the gang.

[@supertoaster123]

I recently subscribed mainly cause i also live in san diego (east county) and you guys are funny too

[@madheadproductions]

It was interesting to hear them talk about cigarettes. They're bad, and they can be a bad trip when quitting. They can really take a personal toll on people. Its an interesting topic. Don't smoke cigarettes kids. And the point Derrick made is very accurate. After one puff you dont get addicted forever... but in a way you do, because you need to then gain the strength to put it away for good, but then you think, smoking a cigarette might be easier. . . It's a deadly cycle.

[@ThomasWilson4]

I thought the same thing on MST3K and was super worried. But the new show is pretty faithful. I'm glad i was wrong

[@Sangth123]

I was interested in that glimpse of the speeders going across the salt flats, but I'm a little worried about how familiar the story beats are gonna be again. I'm glad Battlefront 2 seems to be going in a new direction, so long as they don't pull a "Ahh she betrays the Empire in the end, the whole different perspective thing is too risky, dump it".

[@Onyominoma]

without the warming aura of Garrett's arm resting on the sofa behind him Shawn seems to be on edge, i don't like when dad gets mad at me when I'm still enjoying his company

[@Malkane21]

i didnt even finish the podcast i went straight to watching The Leftovers episode 4 incoming

[@headknocker2020]

Can't wait for their book to come out

[@AmateurZombies]

I felt the same way about the Star Wars trailer Derrick and Rocco.

[@TheGrizNation]

Big ups to Shawn for repping that SB 32 hat! Go Broncos!

[@AmateurZombies]

I can't think of a clever comment, but I wish I could make it to one of the fan meet ups.

[@AlastorL5]

To get Rocco back for North and South, Derrick should arrange an episode where, in a game with the fastest setting, on the smallest map, he absolutely destroys them in Civ 5 (sorry shawn)

[@tempatempo3805]

410.000 Subs and usually 25.000 watch the Podcasts. 6.1% of the MEGA 64 Community watch it. How many of those 410.000 Subs are active? Madden 2018 (1 month old ) had only 100.000 views So 25% of the Mega 64 Subscribers are only active? Or they just did not bother watching it ( not interesting)

[@seriousbees]

Tempa Tempo thats a pretty typical ratio for most of youtube. Not every sub watches every video

[@ToMaSsS10]

pewdiepie has 50 million dead accounts

[@TheDansonT]

Tempa Tempo that's a real bummer

[@danieldussault]

seriously season 2 episode 8 of the leftovers is incredible.

[@BlkDarkness]

27:42 Honestly I've always wondered what alternate reality Rocco looks like.

[@HipsterKaren]

Wasn't SW: Force Awakens just a soft reboot of the original films? So essentially we were all conned.

[@Peenchy]

a mega64 book would be the only book by a youtuber that I would want to purchase.

[@yardstickninja7]

lol Shawn started to read my comment then derrick cut him off. Sad day.

[@marty20000]

my friend did the uberman schedule for a couple of years, worked great for him

[@4valentinorossi616]

What happened then?

[@Fallenangel4275]

he fucking died

[@marty20000]

he stopped doing it and moved on lol

[@D4rdar]

Why does old Derrick look like Saddam Hussein?

[@rupertbooknooktookersdelig2222]

Kramer did the Uberman schedule in Seinfeld. Except he claimed it was Leonardo Da Vinci who came up with it. It didn't end well though. That was the one where he fell asleep on the girl with the mob connections and he wakes up in a sack in the river.

[@shadowfoxgaming6657]

that star wars land sounds like Westworld

[@gvulture1277]

I predict next podcast Rocco is going to mention the comments in this podcast because wooooboy it's getting hot in here

[@bobdeinterlace]

AT-STs! AT-STs! AT-STs! AT-STs!

[@zoidflanders1709]

"waaaaah we're 15 minutes over! I'm not gonna edit the podcast!"

[@ThirdSpectrum]

1:16:53 SIR STEVE LIVES!

[@girlcrazyrockstar]

in the book Garrett should write about how to make some cool special effects

[@daekreilm33]

Ron Dickles

[@michaelchen1838]

Girl Rocco looks like Andy Milonakis

[@Roxasedge]

was Mr horrible written about Don rickles?

[@sp_coldbrew]

Sick hat, Shawn

[@AntipodalBrink]

They missed the two biggest parts of the Episode 8 teaser. Luke says, "There's so much more" than the light and the dark side. Keep in mind that this is *Luke* is saying this. This strongly implies an end to the ho-hum light side vs dark side dualism. Like, maybe Luke has discovered that the force isn't what everyone thinks it is. There's also the fact that what you think it's Kylo Ren's voice saying, "I only know one truth...," becomes Mark Hamil saying, "...It's time for the Jedi to end." This isn't a Sith going, "Kill the Jedi." It's a Jedi having morphed into something unknown. Maybe he has found a way to challenge the very order or "balance" of the force. Maybe something has led him to denounce the name Jedi. His first quote seems to imply that he has found something new that he thinks the name "Jedi" does not encompass.

[@DrButthugger]

Hey following up on your thoughts.

[@kholt1776]

Two books in one? That's like half off if you think about it.

[@callofdutypandemic]

590k more subs to that million keep it up my sweet sweet boys

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

Doesn't Mega64 have a crate? Did they address that in their video?

[@thebipman]

I legit look for any show recommendations I hear here, Rocco's a good sell on a good show...

[@kryzstof6423]

Does Derrick not understand the concept of seasons in television shows? Must be high on cigarettes or something.

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

The Leftovers is as good as Rocco says it is

[@StYfReX]

Good million subscribers :c 20:00

[@Shaka.Flores]

Surprised they didn't mention all the RLM comments on their new vid

[@ArtFluids]

David Cunningham? You mean Chris Cunningham

[@selfdribblingbasketball9769]

Rocco is the Übermensch

[@ryanstarsmore6472]

In regards to the music video directors' cut dvds, my favorite was the Mark Romanek set. I also had no idea that it was sold as a box set as well: www.discogs.com/Anton-Corbijn-Jonathan-Glazer-Mark-Romanek-St%C3%A9phane-Sednaoui-The-Work-Of-Directors-Anton-Corbijn-Jo/release/891591

[@advocatefish3562]

Star Wars has the same problem Halo 4 had in that they could do some many different, new and inspired things with a new trilogy but they will tread familiar ground until they feel their back is against the wall. Last Jedi will be a complete retread of Empire. Only when a mainline Star Wars movie isn't "breaking records" or they only make 1 billion dollars instead of 2 billion will they then do anything new or take any chances.

[@ConstellationLCD]

Rocco that is your color.

[@tempatempo3805]

Where is the Aftershow?

[@steadyslayer]

blows my mind, but people like mega64 who have large active subscriptions/loyal fans. they don't have as many subs but are probably earning more than their youtube peers. Also didn't mega64 used to have a lot more subs but youtube unsubbed a bunch of people? way back old HUD youtube u kno?

[@wikikomoto]

i personally cannot WAIT to not watch the new star wars movie.

[@Neuroticmancer]

Westworld is fucking great. It's blade runner and the Truman show but a western. It's also the most scientifically literate show I've ever seen. Also the nudity in Westworld was never sexy to me, it was disturbing.

[@AwfulPun]

First of all, there isn't reliable evidence that famous people actually followed polyphasic sleep schedules. Second of all, the science isn't there to support the effectiveness of polyphasic sleep and sleep experts warn against such schedules. All of the evidence and the current scientific understanding of sleep suggests that one cannot maintain a polyphasic sleep schedule without suffering the normal effects of sleep deprivation. The reason so many people probably feel that polyphasic sleep helps them is that (and there is a study to demonstrate this) people are bad at evaluating their own levels of sleep deprivation. All of the symptoms of sleep deprivation are hard to self-evaluate and some of the negative long-term health effects of sleep deprivation, which can increase your risk of deadly disease, are things you can't really measure yourself. Polyphasic sleep is most likely bad for your health and performance.

[@burninator14]

J.J. Abrams is in the front man Light and Dark don't matter Yep, we're getting yet another stale existential spin that toes the line set in the 19th century by people way smarter than those in charge of Star Wars.

[@dasutin]

It's ironic to me that they're so critical of the Last Jedi trailer for not showing anything when that's exactly the same reason they praised the Force Awakens trailer.

[@mega64]

The issue was more "they showed stuff that looks just like the last movie" than "they didn't reveal anything." Sorry it came off wrong.

[@dasutin]

I think a lot of the cool things this time come from the audio, rather than the visuals. If you listen closely in a lot of the scenes with key characters/objects, you can hear important lines from old movies that I think are going to be very critical to where this movie is heading. And for me personally, I think it's exciting that they might finally be exploring the idea of the force beyond the light/dark struggle, and that Luke might finally understand that balance means equal parts of both.

[@dasutin]

But I tend to agree with your sentiment, I guess. Visually, it didn't show anything new or impressive like when we first saw the downed star destroyers on Jakku, or the crossguard lightsaber.

[@BrickDangerface]

I think you expressed yourselves pretty well. A lot of these comments make me think people stopped listening after the initial complaint.

[@AntipodalBrink]

The episode 7 trailer seemed like a pretty shallow fan service. I like the episode 8 trailer a lot more. There are signs that this movie could turn out to be more philosophically heavy than episode 7.
