Konterr Brilliant and touching

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

James L This series follows three characters that find themselves stuck in a basement, forced to beta test a video game console known as the Mega64. It's notorious for being extremely experimental, taking players hooked onto it and placing them in a virtual reality in which video games and real life coexist. This is just the premise behind the video game skits they do. Basically, the Mega64 crew parade around in public acting like a bunch of dorks. But something about the story behind it really hits home for me. When I say Mega64 is an acquired taste, I mean it. Their brand of humor is one that doesn't usually appeal to the mainstream but certainly does for me. If you're wondering if this series is right for you, perhaps you should check out their Youtube page. If you laughed at a lot of the videos, then I highly recommend buying the series and checking it out. Though, I have to say. From the time they've created this public access show to now, they've garnered a lot of attention and have made quite the name for themselves in the video game industry. You can see how they've progressed through the course of this series and I await for a fourth series of Mega64. If you want a good story centered around video game culture, Mega64's satirical take on it is definitely worth checking out.

chris priest I read a lot of great things about this series, so I checked it out. Honestly, there is a lot of potential here, but it just falls flat on it's face.One big weakness was the acting. The worst of them was the main one (Rocco). He was on screen probably 75% of the time, and he was hands down the most un-funny person on the whole cast. I actually van't think of an more un-funny person in the history of film. I'm not just saying that to be mean or as hyperbole, but seriously... Even Rob Schnider manages to be funny now and again in his movies. He reminded me of those nerdy high school drama students who thinks of themselves too highly. His facial expressions and voice inflection was way too overexaggerated which was distracting. I just wanted to punch him every time he said something. He only had one moment that I thought was funny, and that was the Metal Gear mission briefing. That was the only time it didn't seem like he was reading a cue card.The other main character (the one who played Horatio and the other beta-tester) was only slightly funnier. He suffered from the same over-acting as Rocco did. I felt like they were trying to go for a unscripted/spontaneous type feel for the film, but most of the sketches and gags were OBVIOUSLY scripted to the point where they were clearly reading lines.For instance that part in the beginning where one of them was just standing there eating pudding in front of the camera for 2 minutes. You could clearly tell he was acting, it didn't seem at all like it was natural or unscripted. The unscripted schpeel works for most small budget stuff like Jackass when it's actually unscripted, not fake like this.I did like the skinny white guy though. I thought he was the only character who portrayed any personality. His gags seems genuinely funny throughout. The absolute best part was the puppet. That damn puppet had me in stitches just about every scene he was in. If they do a sequel, they need to feature more of this guy and the puppet.The sketches were in my opinion the weakest part of the whole thing. Why the hell would I want to watch a bunch of high-schoolers throw dodgeballs at each other? Or a fat teenager run around asking people "Do you know who killed my father?" over and over again? Most of the sketches came off as poorly done Tom Green ripoffs. At least Tom Green played off bystanders' reactions to make it actually funny. Acting like a dumb ass in public does not automatically make it funny.Also, I must say the editing, music, costume, and sets were all well done, especially for a small budget film like this one. The three guys who wrote this should be proud of themselves. Its just too bad the actors had to ruin it.

stilanas This is an amateur TV series that works well considering what the filmmakers had to work with. The series has a lot of potential but some of the skits and candid camera stunts fall flat and are not quite laugh out loud funny. Many of the previews on their website gave away the funniest parts. Specifically those parts are "Shenmue," "Metal Gear Solid," and "River City Ransom" ("BARF!") and even these parts are only funny if you're familiar with the source material. The skits with Rocco and Derrick just running around as Mario and Luigi or Kid Iccarus were pointless and not really worth watching. Nevertheless, it is worth a buy if you can tolerate the amount of time it takes for Awful-Video to ship it to you.
