Mega64 Patreon Summer 2023 Gift Package: MEGA64 20TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION SET #1
🕑 Added 2023-03-19 14:17:48 +0000 UTCAs we catch up on more past gift packages (check your mailboxes now for another one- you might even find a sinister Scrunt inside), it's time to announce not only our next gift package, but the next year our new plan for the next year of the Mega64 Patreon.
To celebrate our 20th anniversary, each quarterly gift package over the next year will represent a quarter of Mega64's lifespan. Our first one contains some incredible unseen and unreleased media and more from 2003-2008!
The first big item that Tier 3 members will get is a piece of one of our most popular videos of all time, as well as something we have been nervous about releasing for nearly 17 years now. But after nearly 2 decades, and the state of the world as it is, it was time. We are releasing- for the first time in any format- the COMPLETE, FULL police tape recordings from our detainment during our RE4 video shoot in 2006. While we have carefully showcased select highlights from this incident in the past, this is the first time the recordings have been released in their full, unedited form- recorded in real time from the moment the film shoot went south to the aftermath (and uncertainty of what to do next) following the police confrontation.
This cassette (the first audio cassette we have ever done at Mega64) is a direct transfer from the cassette used to record the audio of the full incident (done both for our own entertainment, and an abundance of caution). Side A contains the full recordings with introduction commentary. Side B contains other recordings and unreleased interview audio from that same era. If you don't have the gear for an audio cassette, fear not: digital file downloads for these recordings are also included!
The other component to the Tier 3 package is our first volume of artwork and photography from 2003-2008: THE MEGA64 VISUAL ARCHIVES VOLUME 1.

Artwork has always been critical to Mega64's existence. Whether it's for a physical media release, a video production, or an exclusive at a private event, there has been endless amounts cool and hilarious artwork that has, frankly, sat in a vault for way too long. This booklet contains important artwork and visual material from those crucial first five years of Mega64's infancy. There are so many exclusive posters and works of art from past events (A tradition started at San Diego Comic Con 2004) that have never even once made their way online, much less been collected all in one place such as this. Much of the artwork is even done by the boys themselves! This visual guide is a total must-have for any longtime fan. Each book will also come signed by a member of the Mega64 crew.
Tier 3 members will also receive an exclusive enamel pin and sticker as part of this set. Tier 2 members will receive those two items on their own. And as usual, Tier 2 AND 3 will get all the exclusive videos released every month: weekly Friendimension episodes, weekly Mega64 Movie Club episodes, Shawn's Record Club, videos from the Mega64 Vault, and more!
You have until March 31 to get in on funding and stay on for 3 months to qualify for the package. Any funding after that will still do great things, unlock tons of awesome exclusive video stuff, and you'll just go into counting towards the package after this one. You'll also be (most importantly, if we may say so) supporting our independent work here at Mega64! Stay tuned for more announcements and don't miss out!
*All artwork and items/plans subject to change. As always, these images are mockups in progress and all products may have differences in final release.
**Thanks for your support!
***Thank you for 20 AWESOME YEARS!!!

Just wondering if this was being sent out yet? I've been on Tier 3 since March and I don't recall getting any of the three 20th Anniversary stuff. I'm guessing it's delayed with all the touring, but just thought I'd check in on if anyone's gotten 20th Anniversary Set 1 or anything yet! :)

The artwork mock ups for both of these are so good. Love the commitment to retro physical media with the cassette and zine. Now just holding out hope for a re-release of the Dark Pudding Rising VHS…

Definitely gave me a big push towards upgrading. LOVE the cassette idea! RE4 was my introduction to you guys!

Last year was mostly livestreams meant to postpone physical prizes so they could deal with production issues from 2021's last couple gifts. The scheduling's a bit awkward, since even when they're caught up, the gifts ship out ~4 months after they're first announced. Currently that's all compounded because they seem to be shipping things out in the intended order, rather than cutting "easier" prize packages in early. Personally I wish they'd just get things out ASAP while still being transparent about the missing ones, but maybe there are logistical issues with that. I think right now they're behind on: - Spring 2022 (Scarf+Keychain) - Small physical gifts from Summer & Fall 2022 (If we got these, can anyone remind me what they were?) - Winter 2022 (Tote+Ball+USB) The timeline for backing Spring 2023 is almost done, and this announcement won't be shipped until late summer at the earliest.

This looks awesome but I have been a tier 3 supporter for nearly a year and I still haven't received any of the rewards.
