Mega64 Presents: EGM Metaphors

[Cefst]

And now GamePro. Bye bye.

[sxcsKiTzYkitty]

He fake killed the dog! :O I'm fake mad!

[legorocks3]

You can see the boom mic at like 1:21 haha

[ejpbaylon]

Its funny that 1UP is now owned by IGN and owns this video.

[pokemonplayer12]

he sounds kinda like fred

[AceBadguy]

EGM is back up.

[MCWHAMMER]

Never really noticed the sunglasses... where are those available?

[tetriminoso]

FUCK UGO

[lilbreezy47]

At first i was thinking the Dog was actually Crash Bandicoot i mean it could have been :/

[TheAbelinc2]

tank gewdness im GaymEn4mer reeder

[SpudOfWar4]

These guys are geniuses. It's just hidden beneath all that jackass-ness.

[HelenKellersArmy]

I like how the dog changes sexes mid-video.

[AZNROCKER]

gregzlits hahahaha

[s4l4z4r]

1up sucks monkey balls!! LONG LIVE EGM!

[kralalrulz]

sounded more like hugo dont cum

[hotrods4ben]

The actual hugo,com is a perfume website

[MrRetlav]

i love metaphors :3

[wwwGamersX10com]

but the dog came back a year and a half later, right?

[dude19288]

Yeah, my subscription got canceled and they didn't tell us and for some reason they started sending us Maxim magazines haha!

[Omegashrimp9]

Now I feel bad for never renewing my EGM subscription.

[SuperGeneralD]

Hugo DöT Com

[frostytreat1]

haha

[McTeaV]

i see what you did there ;)

[killerhope36]

lol Derrick= Guy who made Best gore website

[ZIDBULA]

@killerhope36 there's no gore, it's perfume or someshit

[MrBurningintegrity]

I used to be subscribed to egm

[delli2011]

i hated when egm got bought by ziff davis and their super weak super thin issues. the pinnacle of egm was when it was all about the fans, the 400 page issues (half were ads but that's okay) back in 93. that was nuts and the crazy inserts they used to include.

[gigitygigity93]

Are they taling about how EGM is no longer in publication??

[Infenro]

@gigitygigity93 yep

[Aarownd]

@gigitygigity93 I heard they're back, or they're coming back.

[TwoFootButtcrak]

ummmm I like Game Informer..

Sorry.

[GioSkullbrains]

Epic collar =D

[BlackOps553]

Why did you need to kill the dog!?WHY!!! :(

[OmegaOwA]

Did you not get the point of this video?

[chatchat102]

FUCK UGO.COM. I miss EGM... It was one of my first game magazines ever... Why the hell are they still making money anyways? I think there's enough EGM fans to make an army... or at least blow up UGO headquarters. ;D

[HBSnaruto20]

I miss the old 1up..... FUCK UGO.com

[GraveHorizon]

"Ulyssess Prance... The first." Fuc*ing hilarious!

[okamirules]

what i would pay to hang out with these guys for an hour....

[halflifelover777]

what is EGM?

[klipper369]

@halflifelover777 itz the dog

[guitarpro925]

@halflifelover777 electronic gaming monthly it was a magazine like game informer that talked about all kinds of video game stuff and how could u not know what egm is with a username like half-life lover? lol

[YourPalHDee]

@guitarpro925 If he's not from America he wouldn't have heard of it.

[delli2011]

@guitarpro925 game informer is nothing compared to what egm used to be like. and i subscribe to game informer.

[DukePinksu]

i wonder is the dog she or he because shawn called it both :O

[EWGFus3r]

lmao

[Sabohaque]

Luckily the owner's was able to buy the dog back and give it medical attention that saved it's life.

[ricefarmer912]

can someone PLEASE explain this whole metaphor... it's like one of the few mega64 and/or IGN references i haven't been able to understand

[Tycosauce]

WHOA!!!! WHAT A DEAL!!! A Dog, Collar and Leash!!! One lucky guy!

[gritnom]

Same goes for NBC. Canceling everything good. ALF, My Name is Earl : Both canceld with a cliff hanger. No proper send off. Atleast Conan was able to say good bye before he was shoved off the air.

[death2link]

Evan... Grant... Mondesanto!

I want that name so much it hurts

[WatsDaWurd]

1UP! lol this video is friken hilairious

[ebrahim23]

Ulysses Prance... the first

[abehammy]

dont worry everyone, egm is returning this month.

[Kogerii]

The acronyms're the best part.

[FDBproductions316]

"talkin' reckless" - I JUST got that reference

[Drummertist]

Man I miss EGM. I had every issue. I almost cried when I heard it was canceled. Hilarious skit though!

[101lol]

1up egm ahhaah

[Emceetem]

Wait, i don't get it. Is it suppose to be a metaphor for something?

[MegaShadowZX]

Ha, in the beginning of the video, Sean says the dog is a "she." At the end of the video, he calls her a "he" and names her/him Evan. Am I the first one to notice this?

[trancedsailor]

I didn't even realize EGM was gone. I subscribed from like 94 or 95 til like 2003. I still have a lot of the old issues I liked. My mom made me throw out most of them. My old screen name was in the November 1999 issue lol

[mastakilla64]

i had been a subscriber since 97 and i was sad to see them go but more so for the name sake than anything else. every 3 to four years they would change their format and everytime they did that their content suffered. heck game informer these days is closer to the egm i remember in 97 than the last issues of egm. just my opinion.

[Fosax]

so the dog is EGM

the bullets are the employees

the guy buying the game is the UGO guys and the guy selling is 1UP

Mega64

you guys are genious

[Destroyevsky]

You actually got the bullet thing wrong, so not only do you sound like a humorless idiot for the comment, but now you sound retarded for not even getting it right.

[Fosax]

@Destroyevsky

erm no, he said

"why you fired them, the bullets from the gun"

by fired he meant the employes,

you are the one who got it wrong

by firing lots of employes the EGM closed

know the facts

[bu1letpr00f]

@Fosax not really dude.

[nickux17]

whoa you could not be more wrong. The dog represents the animal in all of us. It's actually very Freudian. You see, what it means is that if you read EGM you want to have sex with your mother. It could not be more obvious!

[Fosax]

@nickux17

obvious troll is obvious

[nickux17]

You clearly didn't get that I was making fun of you for explaining everything in the video. Not the video itself.

[infamouswake]

that is pretty funny because I just got done writing a paper over all of that shit and then I get on Youtube to watch some good Mega64 and here I find it.....well I guess I better go kill my dad

[PhenixReviewz]

@nickux17 actually, dogs do not represent us. dumbass. Monkeys do. Learn your shit

[zomglolretahoy]

@PhenixReviewz

You really don't get what he means do you?

[dotCody]

I miss Electronic Gaming Monthly...

[ForcheAlex]

This sketch is definitely the most brilliant of Mega64

[TheSyphon666]

LMFAO

[gritnom]

EGM is coming back!!!

[PandaRiot4496]

REALLY? don't lie to me bro

[gritnom]

You really haven't heard? Steve Harris has a facebook. There's a webpage called EGMNOW. Come March 2010 it's coming back with a mix of every era of the magazine.

[cmac2099]

haha I can't believe I missed this back when all that stuff went down. one of the best mega64 sketches I've seen

[Keytap15]

very clever vid. lol. good thing EGM will be up and running again. Maybe the old issues will be collectors items.

[KMFCM]

I felt no sympathy for EGM, because they left the Sega Saturn behind first.

[KMFCM]

now, DON LEMME SEE YA SHOOTIN' NO DAWGS

[MatticusFinch1820]

Fuck you UGO!!! EGM is back in the hands of its founder and Dan Shoe and more of the old EGM crew are now back at the magazine as well as running bitmob so fuck you corporate whores! we got our gaming bible back so eat shit UGO!!!

[jtzproductions]

Ulysses Prance... the first. BEEEEP

[infringementMAN]

So what was this cleverly disguised rant about? I see EGM, 1UP and H. I'm not really familiar with those.

Btw, I'm surprised no PETA loonies are bitching here.

[stintzi]

I believe that it was a magazine, EGM, that was probably bought by the H people and then pretty much killed. I dont know the exact details though.

[MatticusFinch1820]

@infringementMAN

UGO bought 1up and EGM, killed EGM and fired 1up.coms best editors. Thats what this video is about.

[KrazyNinjaBoi]

omg i still have all my old EGM magazines

[kingblinn]

Ulysses Prance....

the first.

[tomninetythree]

i still think this video is hilarious.

"did you really have to fire them?... the bullets, from the gun?"

[thereisnoneo]

so good. This is the vid that introduced me to mega64

[oTreYx]

umm no

[orphanturtle]

Dog...equals....EGM?

[kikoman78]

whoops 3:43 LOL

[kikoman78]

3:44 LOL

[RandMan612]

mondesanto hahaha

[qwaffleboy135q2]

shawn is my favorite :)

[cggeek]

ahahahah!

[ArthodeN]

holy shit mega joined IGN entertainment , nice great job guys !

[hussi434]

XD !!!!!!!!!!!

[manofiorn]

Talkin' Reckless

[TheEirica]

roflLols, using the dog as a metaphor...genius...0_0...buti loved EGM too...so sad

[maniac923]

i remember hearing about this on talkradar a while back .But it's good to know there bringing back EGM

[psychokong64]

lololo. I WANT EGM BACK! i was just gonna subscribe to it when i found out they "killed" it.

[JoshuaX101]

Hahhah! :D Very funny!

[jszekerj]

Dude, EGM was the best gaming magazine ever. I can't people never heard of it. I can't believe it was canceled too. I read on wiki that it's being relaunched.

[carpenterpimpo]

uummm... WTF is EGM??!! what's the metaphor plz tell me!

[songbirdofsadness]

well my brother used to have a subscription to this magazine called "electronic gaming monthly" (emg) and it got closed down or something and they started sending him maxims instead lol, im guessing its the same "emg"

[VladimirSpike29879]

Electronic Gaming Monthly

[0Banjo0]

A video game magazine. The metaphor is it wasn't making the guy enough money so he canceled it.

[Vitaminb]

Electronic Gaming Monthly. Metaphor is the dog represents EGM.

[karlmossman]

The dog symbolized EGM, EGM was a gaming magazine

[Killerclownmeat]

1Ulysses Prance and Evan Grant Modensendo were genius

[jesusman121]

1UP...

EGM(Electronic Gaming Monthly)...

[Killerclownmeat]

I love this video!

[RPmaverick]

i don't get the metaphors

[AVMthrasher]

basically, egm was bought by some guy, and he closed it down right away.

[WoWbob396]

visit my website and kiss my ass lol!

[dustin11]

rofl "....all those bullets from the gun"

[mannyichi]

I recievied the last issue "wolverine uleashed" and tore it in anger that they EGM stole my f'n money they only gave me a couple of months after I suscribed wtf???!!!^_^

[masterjp93]

i havnt finished the video but i wouldve killed teh white person. haha.

[IRtetrisMastar]

Is the dog really dead? I hate why they dont say these thing's. I know its pretty obvious it isnt but you never know.

[sexxkitten09]

Hahaha of course the dog isnt dead.

[Marumasa]

he shot the dog for reals

[KrazYoBlazeR]

They shot him

[JelloJames16]

did you not hear the gunshots? man. that dog is so dead.

[AthensNinja]

what nice sunglasses!!!

[spinynorman1982]

Damn, the dog suffered for 10 seconds but it seemed like forever!

[schaaffles]

EGM IS BACK FROM THE MOTHER FUCKING DEAD... Thanks to the origional founder buying back the rights to egm. He's saying to expext new issues in 2nd half of 09.

[fawfulmark2]

not only that, but I hear the first ish will be all about E3, and it's rumored they might release the "Lost" SFIV issue.

[strikerk]

WOO! Awesome!

[mogul1265]

Im glad EGM died they sucked so bad with the seanbaby bullshit. Good news though, steve harris the orginal founder just bought mag back and its coming back.

[fawfulmark2]

wait..you love, and hate it?

[mogul1265]

loved it when steve harris and ed semrad where running the show.

[JudahKhan]

I loved EGM, I had a script for it for the past 8 years.

EGM RIP

Sushi X rules

[fawfulmark2]

well keep that script, because it came back, zombie-style.

[nerdStarwars]

this is the stupidest thing i have ever seen, i dono whats worse, that fuckfaces lipring, or his fucking glasses... or that skinny suckfucks t-shirt... i hate the games buisensess and if you dont your a tool too

[elrob2k]

hey at least he killed the dog

[PropagandAnon]

Do you hate basic grammar skills, too? Learn to English, you stupid fuck.

[paulthewall71]

you don't have the slightest clue what this is about do you?

[dmerca01]

It's the Criag's LIst Killer. LOL

[chainsawbuddy]

never read egm, but game informer's pretty good.

[honestchrismcg]

lol?

[chainsawbuddy]

idk, it's not my fault i never read it.

the only reason i get game informer is because it's gamestop's magazine.

and gamestop sucks. i wish eb games was still around.

[xvincentsminex]

HAHA, aw man.

[MCWHAMMER]

What's sad is that none of you morons has stepped up and put out a gaming magazine (And you never will) that's half as good as EGM. Hope you're content with scrolling past manga and cosplay articles in an attempt to find actual video game articles of substance.

FUCK UGO.

[TehSamurai]

Oh, shi--EGM is done? I had a subscription to that magazine years ago.

[aaronsakhai]

i came back from my vacation a couple of months ago, and haven't found an issue since-- guess this explains it--- bummer i never got the last issue

[serephreloaded]

the dog is such a great actor(ess?)

[CyborgNinja7]

But isn't IGN (owned by UGO last time I checked) partly to blame?

[D3rachi]

IGN isn't owned by UGO.

[Wiiporter]

i miss egm a lot

[2xtremedeath]

i dont get this..i know it has to do with some magazines but still dont get it

[CaptainHJ]

its a metaphor, for the fact that egm got sold, aka the dog, and the new owner killed the part that made egm awesome, the people and magazine, and just kept the name, which is the collar.

[2xtremedeath]

oooo thats awful...

[matto95]

its fake :O

[2xtremedeath]

i was referring to the metaphor in this vid

[jcjohnson274]

lol u shoot my dog

it wasnt making no money all i wanted was the collar and leash

[1Stunna2323]

Why God... why???? Now I'll have to buy that last copy of EGM at my local Chapters. You know... the one with Wolverine on it? It's been sitting there for almost two months. It might be a collectors item.

I'm also buying to pay my respects to EGM.

[hiphopcr]

If I was a billionaire I would hire all the EGM/`1UP guys and pay them to keep doing what they were doing. They were awesome.

[Juhsayngul]

I told you, man. I ain't got the money, and you still talking reckless, so fuck that. I'll get you the money when I get the money. Now what?

[ThePatriotsGun]

I'm going to miss Evan Grant Mondesanto. But I'll admit, once I got the Internet, I began spending less and less time with him and more time with Ivan Greg Nibolowski. EGM was such an awesome magazine... err dog.

[HordeOverseer]

I see what you did there, very nice. Poor magazine, uh, dog.

[Garrettheparrot]

There is an unbelievable amount of truth in this video

[Budakbaik1991]

Wooow look at this " Beast " ! hahahaha x)

[gigosai]

EGM is done? Seriously?

[NachoVidio]

yes

[ToastCh33]

OMG HE HAD THE SAME WALLET AS ME!

[alotter]

lol awesome

[edgemaster05]

OMG this must be Mega64's funniest vid that was priceless. WHY COULDNT THEY JUST WAIT TILL AFTER ITS 20th BIRTHDAY?! Why?

[101EZcompany]

Wait, wait, wait everyone... pull yourselves together! There's still Gamespot and GameInformer, and, and....

oh wait, oh man, I just threw up a little. Oh God, what did you do UGO?

WHAT....DID....YOU....DOOOOOO!­!!????

[niceguyapple]

dont scare me like that *crying*

[Wildcard1992]

I love this. It got friggin obvious towards the end, but it was smart!

[Erroneuz]

OMG! Pure genius!

[mypalAbra]

i still got a year and a half on magazine subscription! where's the heck is my refund!?

[edger2006]

I love mega 64

[TofuTehSurvivor]

My penis cried. D:

It's a shame that EGM went under. That was my favorite gaming magazine. I even wanted to become a journalist under the insane chance of one day being able to write at least one article for/with them...
