For me? It's Garrett
For me? It's Garrett
mega64 so irrelevant with like 1k views per upload that they have to shill on Anon Babble of all places
of course he would love AI slop
Why the FUCK don't they focus on those sweded style videos. It gave them the most amount of views in years
IT'S LE JUST A TOOL!
cringe
How did they fall so hard? These guys had people like Hideo and Miyamoto appear in their videos and even made ones for Nintendo and Splinter Cell
they never actually "made it" and have been making the same low effort ironic shit for almost 20 years. I'd give them another 2 years before they call it quits.
Garrett is the only worthwhile member of Mega64 because he has a job. Shawn sucks, Derrick sucks, Rocco is okay because he's a fig boy
It seems like I’m the only one who remembers M64’s cringy nostalgiabait ad for the Wii U
literally went woke, then broke
They did a stream watching their old personal channel videos and were shitting their pants at how "offensive" they were. Like when they used to say faggot and act retarded. Really lame.
WOP YOU UP TO?
Shawn is fated to return to working at Subway
i'm back to listening to the podcasts fairly regularly and enjoying my time with the boyz again
however, Rocco just posted a new fig update so if they go the route of asking for funds again to keep afloat they're basically dead to me and essentially grifters
Having watched them since their early days it seems to me that they were perfect for the era of YouTube they got popular in. I don’t think people would respond to a video of Kojima or Miyamoto the same way these days. They’ve also been podcasting for ages, but it’s a shame they moved to whatever generic podcast set up they have now.
yeah, they helped pioneer some aspects of youtubing. then everyone else caught up and the system outgrew them
i was gonna say they don't understand algorithm anymore, but in reality they do. i just think they dislike having to do only the "easy successes" that appease the algorithm
also they should've continued flame war theater even tho it was apparently frank's baby
Mega64 went woke.
All jokes aside, YouTube is a shithole and your average content creator is some rich industry plant who screams at a computer screen in their empty mansion.
Plus tik tok slop has ruined long format videos.
Mega64 is from a time when YouTubers used to be actually funny and talented and created stuff that wouldn't be approved by television networks due to the easy accessibility of uploading your own content to YouTube.
Those days are long gone and your modern consumer is brain dead.
We are living in an age of cultural stagnation.
remember when they had their going away stream? that was grim
Using the same youtube channel for skits, and podcasts
Anybody new to Mega64 has to sift through the podcasts/view the playlists to see their actual content
This will forever be the biggest reason why they fell off.
I always loved how much content they put out and it was at least authentic and original compared to other shitty YouTubers at the time like PewDiePie.
No other YouTubers had streams where they just genuinely talked to the audience the same way that Rocco did.
It was a very personalized experience between him and the fans.
I loved it and it was very comfy.
The only down side to that is that if you wanted to get into mega64 and understand the inside jokes you would have had to have been watching all of their videos all those years.
Their best podcasts were through out the 2010s and I still go back and watch their old podcasts from 10 years ago.
Albeit the humor is dated now but I still enjoy it.
I also really loved when Rocco and Garret did their metal gear and evangelism spoiler cast. Again, it was a very intimate podcast between Rocco and the fans.
It's hard to get into mega64 now because they have so much content and their best content was from 10-15 years ago.
Their best podcasts were through out the 2010s and I still go back and watch their old podcasts from 10 years ago.
As soon as I read this I remembered exactly that era of their podcasts. Just them in the dark room with the cabinets behind them. Classic stuff.
digital digital...digital forever
Every day I see some new video essay slop on a tired topic like “Fallout 3: Actually it’s good” from a YouTube channel I’ve never heard of before and yet they all have 500k views.
The arcade set was kino and peak mega64. I miss it every day.
The algorithm for youtube is so weird these days. The same thing has been happening to mine with the type of videos you mentioned. At the same time it’s harder and harder to find more niche stuff
Max?
You didn't
Is this still recording?
The YouTube algo is complete ass. I'll be listening to music and then it autoplays the next video and it's a video essay about the song I was just listening to.
Like just play some more music nigga damn.
Fucking hate this. All my recommendations are these videos and I don't even watch that content. Selecting not interested does not work.
Alot of work maybe?
Podcasts are so fucking shit and one of the worst things to happen to youtube/internet. Thats what radio is for.
there are guys who get even less views on podcasts and they still make it work even with an office. and thats not mentioning their other stuff. it is 100% their own fault they had to start begging for even more shitty, embarassing fucking graphic t-shirt sales. i think i have more respect for trust fund babies than faggots like this who are just greedy and retarded.
podcasts were cool 10 years ago. It's annoying now because everyone and their grandmother has a podcast these days.
The problem they have is theyve out grown their main target audience who see them as old smelly losers in adult diapers
they should go back to making videogame-meet-world sketches. but they are aging boomers and probably don't have the fire to do good stuff again so they just podcast and stream forever, making all their uploads look exactly the same
They did a cringe episode of movie club. They watched ace venture pet detective
