Mega64 - Comedy group, NOT an emulator

It's similar to Trigger Happy TV, but everything is related to video games. The videos hosted on the site are really fucking slow, but SA is hosting a teaser for their Tetris skit.

I think this is fucking hilarious. Can't wait for the DVDs. :(

[Schimid]

:lol

I really fucking wish I could see the Shenmue one...they should put this stuff on G4.

[James]

Funny you should mention that. At the bottom of the page, they say: Are you bored? Wished Mega64 was on G4? Email them and say so.

I don't even know what G4 is. :(

[Schimid]

OMG :eek

It's a channel made for gamers, I guess. The thing is, it isn't like other shows on TechTV. The channel takes games seriously and is dedicated. I really like it :o

I'm e-mailing G4 now :o

[Comrade Rocket]

I hate my 56gay.

I saw the begining of the intro. All the way to the metal gear solid thing. I couldnt stop laughing.

When the one guy was dressed up as Luigi and he did the victory dance i fell over laughing.

[James]

Yeah, their download server is really shitty. Even on cable, it took me 40 minutes each for the videos. Maybe I'll buttrape Chojin and get him to host them for a short while.

I should talk to Rog about this, too. They're gonna be at the San Diego Comic Con (MCCLAIN), and maybe this DVD stuff has potential for advertisement, or even a contest.

[Drev]

NONE WILL PLAY :(

[James]

Care to elaborate? If not, I can only assume you're one of 3 people who have yet to install Divx and Xvid codecs.

[Drev]

oh no. I already did that. It just sayd it can't support it for some fucked up reason. >:

also, my bit torrent is fucked up too. :(

[James]

Well, even if you can't see it, you should just agree that it's fucking hilarious.

I demand this thread gets more attention.

[ProfessorCool]

That was pretty cool.

[pjalne]

Looks funny. Will probably be better once I get to watch it with sound. :(

[James]

It is. The remix of the Tetris theme really adds to the video.

[Schimid]

Jesus, the Shenmue video is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. :(

[executioneer]

i bet i would think it was really funny too if i'd ever played that game :(

[pjalne]

They should upload the Punch-Out!! bit featured in the intro.

the metal gear solid one was good. if mega64 turns out to be a big hit i can imagine a lot of copyright lawers attacking them

[CaptainBubba]

The MGS one when the old lady sees him and the exclamation appears over him and the danger music plays made me actually laugh. I'm definitely getting this, and hiding it from everyone I know.

[Anonymous]

MGS one is the best. I love when he sneaks into the back of that restaurant.

[Schimid]

I still say the Shenmue one is the best. I guess it's because I'm one of the few people that actually played it. :(

I crack up whenever he asks the guy to play a game of Lucky Hit.

[James]

Thanks to Chojin for pointing out that all the videos are now hosted by SA, so they're a lot quicker to download.

I still like the Tetris one the best. The other ones are funny, but there's just something incredibly hilarious about a Tetris block running around trying to fit places.

[Schimid]

The Punch-Out!! one looks kinda weak, like they're just gonna run around in pink and orange jumpsuits. The great thing about the other skits is that you could be able to recognize the game they come from (Except maybe the Shenmue one) and two guys biking around in nondescript jumpsuits just wouldn't do it.

I'd love to see Kid Icarus, though.

[Bennett]

The biggest problem from what I've seen (granted they only had a couple on the site), was that the Shenmue one was BY FAR the funniest, but it's a pretty obscure game, methinks.

"would you like to play a game of Lucky Hit?"
"How about a game of Lucky Hit?"

[soundtest]

The Shenmue one was totally the best. "Do you know where I could find some sailors?" killed me. :lol The MGS one was ok - i liked when the old lady spotted him and the ! and danger music a lot. The rest was meh. Tetris i only liked the remix. I wanna see more of this though - funny shit for sure.

if mega64 turns out to be a big hit i can imagine a lot of copyright lawers attacking them

i doubt it - wouldn't this fall under the area of parody?

[Schimid]

The MGS one was simply good because he ran behind the counter at the bakery.

[the_dudefather]

the tewtris one was funny, especially when he started chasing the guy
