ive been pimpin' the mega 64 guys videos since i first saw this skit back on a uk nintey mag back in like 2003.

and being a fan of trigger happy tv jackass type stuff, adn a gamer of course i found thsi **** real funny.
i googled mega64 and found there site: http://www.mega64.com/
and saw they had not one, but two dvds, and were being pimpied out by the likes of brandon dicomillio adn rake yohn from cky, so if they found it funny, especially dico, you know its gotta be worth a laugh or two.
so i finally saw the constantly sold out dvds were back on sale two months ago and shelled out 40 quid (about 65 bucks) to buy em, i just got version 2, the "second season" and i thought id post my thoughts on it.

To start off the series actually gets more proffesional too the end, adn you can tell that there popularity began to rise since you see people like tim and eric and kevin smith in the season finale.
even before you open the case you get the idea of how these guys are only out to have fun since the back of the case blurb is a 0/10 review from imdb.com stating "one big weakness was the acting, the worst of them was the main one i cant think of a more unfunny person, the editing and music was all done well, its just a shame about the actors"
now its a full 5 paragraph review covering the bakc of the case so you know these guys have got balls.
this si proven in the episodes since not only does one character take sthe piss out of a certain famous band mz and i are a fan of by trying to force a "horseagram" beanie on a girls head stating its his favourite band "T.I.M" (playing there popular song "i want to die":lol: ), even the cover is just resident evil 4s cover with katamari damacys character replacing the cainsaw guy.
the 6 episodes are nothing like the individual skits and its enjoyable from start to finish, at first i thought only 6 episodes wouldnt be enough time to fit much in aside from the main plot but theres tons of little gags, like tommy telerico saying he would rather **** rosie odonnel than jack from lost ,then hes told "then your obviously not a lost fan":lol: , in fact the final episode talsk about the mysterious alpha testers of the mega 64 system and the mysterious organaisation (some random anagram like darma with a y) that built it, all with the same hidden camera skits thrown in.
some are pretty well though out and funny:

whilst others are retarded beyond belief:

but there allways funny, the plot is pretty interesting and well written adn some of the effects are cool considering this is a no budget thing , or was at the time, i cant wait to recieve season 1 in the psot adn cant wait for them to finish version 3 soon.

though i recommend listening to the podcast they do since not only is it funny as hell, but describes further some of the things in the seasons ,like one guy they are talkign to saying "i used to eb good at math till i joined the army and got shot", so there worth checking out too, shame the extras were a little lacking but its still a good 2 disc set, id give it 8/10 as a dvd , 10/10 for being something origional and funny.
