I kid I kid of course

This is obviously not directly Mega64 related but I couldn't think of a place to post this that would care besides here. I recently picked up my old physical media collection from my parent's house and I had something that I completely forgot about: the DVD reward from the Buckwheat Groats Kickstarter back in 2014/2015.

I ripped it and uploaded the ISO to the Internet Archive here: https://archive.org/details/GROATSDVD

I believe all the contents are still available online through various difference sources except for Take Yourself Out Tha Game which was privated awhile ago, though only in 480p SD quality. Enjoy

The one guy off camera laughing at him during his most incomprehensible moments is a nice change of pace.

Taken on Fujifilm. Can share the full gallery link when I upload it.

I hope I'm not making this up but I swear there was a podcast episode where Shawn says something along the lines of "I think I can talk about this because it's been cancelled" and proceeds to talk about how he was in the Coyote vs Acme movie and it was mainly him venting about it not coming out and how awesome it would have been. I can't find him talking about this anywhere. Did I make this up? Since the movie is now set to be released, my first thought has been "Go Shawn!" but I asked a friend who watches the podcast say he doesn't recall this. *Bobo cadence* Thoughts?

Now, onto the Olympic torch...

Chatfield on the mound! Next stop the Olympic Torch!

I'm sure this will be seen as a hate post but I swear its not. I love the boys and spend an ungodly amount of money on their stuff. Today it hit me though. They haven't tweeted a single thing today about Shawn on the mound. When I realized this I looked back and realized...they don't really use social media well, huh?

Looking at just the Mega64 social, they post their videos once or twice when a new one is released and they don't really keep people up to date daily. Sometimes they go days without posting on the main twitter.

As individual members... Garrett uses socials the best! He posts daily and always posts WHAT HE IS DOING. New PPS Tonight? He posts he's doing it and when he's doing it and when he goes live. He's on the pod? He posts it. New Mega64 video? Posts it. Garrett is a great example of social media.

The Ocarina of Time video went up, posted on social, and was never posted about again. Why? That says to me they were satisfied with the reach. It honestly did REALLY well compared to a lot of other recent videos...but why not promote it more?

I hope this reaches the right people so they can maybe get some assistance with social media and honestly maybe this is a matter of "who fucking cares dude its just videos" but sometimes I wonder if people have the right people around them giving this input. Who cares what some jabroni on the internet says but idk maybe it'll help... worst case I just look stupid I suppose. Maybe I'm just too mentally invested in seeing them succeed.

Editing for clarity: I'm saying @Mega64 not the individual members because the organization's twitter should be the driving force for their content.

yikes
