    Oh man, you guys are so awesome.

    One thing I've always wanted to ask you on the off-chance that I could: How often do you guys get permission to do some of the stuff you do? Some of the videos you've done (Off the top of my head, River City Ransom, MYST, and Luigi's Mansion) really seemed to be pushing the legal envelop. If you actually go to these places without permission to do your gags, I must say, you've got balls of steel.

    Balls. Of. Steel.

    Random info no one cares about:

    In the Shenmue video, the lady at the end that calls security is my mother.

    It amused me greatly. That is all.

    I think it was Ubisoft? who got them to do an ad for the game.

    The resulting video was considered inappropriate for them and they never used it.

    However they're not allowed to show it or something for legal reasons - or have it out there

    but they showed it during their PAX panel and it's gold - one of their best

    fairly long too

    So how are the Mega64 DVDs? Do they tell a story or are they just a bunch of random skits?

    It's put together like a public access TV show. There's a story, but it's not exactly emmy material.

    It is pretty damn funny though.

    They are actual episodes (the show was originally a public access show) with the game skits intertwined by showing the characters do "tests" with the Mega64.

    They are well worth it, although version 2 is FAR superior to version 1.

    Does volume 2 follow the same formula?
    Is this for an English class?

    Dude, we haven't touched the links section in like two years. I don't think we're going to until the new site redesign.

    Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. I'm sure it'll see the light of day at some point, but I think right now we're having too much fun showing it at conventions and telling the audience what exactly was deemed inappropriate with it!

    Been a fan of your guys' stuff since someone passed me the Tetris video at work years ago. Hilarious skits, and I find myself revisiting the old ones quite often.

    Just watched the Marcus video - I think at some point an interview with Peter "Awesome" Moore is in order. :P

    Hm. Doesn't sound like what I want to hear. All I was hoping for was if anyone ever got to play endless band mode with dozens of DS playing that game in an orchestra.

    Of all the Mega64 skits, the one I keep remembering is the Cold Fear ads with Psychotic Gunther. "I will feed you 31 flavors of Gunther pain two scoops at a time" is a quote still used by me and my friends during Live matches.

    I want to say I first heard about Mega64 when I was a senior in 2005. I could be wrong. I kept cracking up in the middle of my electronics class because I was watching the Shenmue Videos and as the only person that would get the joke, likely in all of massachusetts, I felt obliged to enjoy the jokes thoroughly.


    So, long story short, Thanks Mega64 for the ONLY blemish on my highschool transcript.

    Sorry to bump a dead thread, but given some of the comments here earlier, I thought maybe you guys would want to check out our new Assassin's Creed skit- http://www.mega64.com/assassinscreed.htm

    It's definitely an old-school Mega64 clip. Hope you like it.

    I love Mega64's stuff. Somehow I must have missed it, I just saw the Luigi's Mansion skit. OMG that was hilarious.

    "Mario??"

    "Please don't vacuum up our ghosts.."

    "I don't think he's all there in the head."

    What was the one where you guys were dressed up as mario and luigi, doing your regular shenanigans, then all of the sudden Shigeru Miyamoto shows up out of the blue? That was fantastic.

    Also, how did you manage to pull that off?

    Yeah, he was in the SMB skit we did last year. Long story short- I found out he was going to be at GDC the same time we were, so I pitched the skit idea to the conference people and somehow it worked its way up to him, and he thought it sounded funny. It was basically just a lot of phone calls and emails.
