"In the not too distant future, the sinister scientist Dr. Poque creates a gaming console with the ability to tap into the human mind. He recruits young specimens Rocko and Derek, two extraordinary subjects, to become enslaved within a beta-testing camp. This is their story. This is Mega64."
Mega64 is a low budget (though their budget has increased considerably) Sketch Comedy series created by and starring Rocco Botte, Derrick Acosta, and Shawn Chatfield. The series started out focusing primarily on skits involving one or more people reenacting video games in real life. Many of Mega64's skits can be watched on their YouTube channel. However they have started focusing more on the main story and miscellaneous.The story of Mega64 centers on Dr. Poque, a Mad Scientist who creates the ultimate gaming console, the eponymous Mega64. He kidnaps Rocko Boaty and Derek Ackawzdha and forces them to beta-test the machine. They are soon joined in these tests by Sean Chatfeild, who initially was supposed to deliver e-mails. The cast is rounded out by Horatio, Dr. Poque's Mexican roommate who steals everything, and Marcus, a sexist puppet who works for Poque.

Back for the Dead: Tr1gg3r S3r1ou5 reappears in Version 3, only to die moments later.

Tony, who killed Sean's girlfriend and told him to "Eat at Joe's!" in a flashback in "Poque," returns in "Delaware" to kill Sean, and is eventually revealed to be one of The Killers.
The bloody knife that appeared out of nowhere in "I Feel Asleep" was created by the Specter as a clue to how he died.
Chekhov's Gunman: Garret makes several background appearances- most notably in Marcus's flashback- before revealing himself to be the leader of Falz.

Loads and Loads of Roles: Rocco plays Rocko and Poque, Derrick plays Derek and Horatio, Shawn plays Sean and Marcus, and Garrett plays Lobo Fuerte, Jessse, Frankie, and Garret, leader of FALZ.

Paper-Thin Disguise: Marcus dons one to impersonate Poque in an episode of Version One. Unlike most examples, the person he's trying to fool has never met Poque before.

Start of Darkness: Version two's finale, "Stranger," shows how Poque became who he is today.
Marcus in "Project Woosh."
Sticky Fingers: Horatio tends to take anything that isn't nailed down. More often than not, it's stuff from Poque's room.
Stealth Pun: The Falz created game Down, Falz Down.
Stylistic Suck: Gamer Warz and Gamer Warz 2 are badly acted, horribly edited, annoyingly shot, the audio goes out of a synch and the second one goes on for 12 minutes. It's also hilarious.
The guys also mocked a now defunct game review show called Gamelife with Gamez Alive
Theme Music Power-Up: The non-instrumental version of "Sequence Erase" plays in the Version 1 finale when Rocko and Derek confront Poque for the first time. Later in Version 3, the portion of the song with lyrics plays when Sean escapes the facility and heads to the Falz headquarters.

Villain Song: Marcus's "I'm Gonna Be Rich" from Mega64!
