Mega64--a group of video game fans and theatre buffs, had become fairly well-known by the time their second DVD had released.  Like Mega 64: Version 1, Version 2 continues the wacky plot featuring a mad scientist named Dr. Poque, who created a console called the Mega64 that brought video games to life.  He's up to his usual antics, but this time you gain more insight into why Poque may be carrying out his devious schemes.  Poque's usual sidekicks: the powder-blue tracksuit sporting, Horatio, and the tie-wearing puppet, Marcus, make a return. Their slaves, Rocco, Derrick, and Sean, also make repeat appearances.  Throughout the discs' six episodes, these characters are joined by a whole circus of freak shows.  The returning characters are well-developed, and have significantly improved their acting skills.  Even the new characters are welcome additions to Mega64, but none of these folks compare to the legendary Horatio or Mega64's video game skits.

If you bought or are considering buying the DVD, you're probably interested in both the video game parodies (many of which are available for free online) and Mega64's central storyline.  Most people are attracted to Mega64 because of their seemingly abstract video game parodies, so I will cover those in great depth.

While Mega 64: Version 1 included a fair amount of entertaining videos, Version 2 takes it to a whole 'nother level.  It starts out with the infamous Paper Boy skit that became so well-regarded that you can now find a snapshot of this skit plastered on a t-shirt.  Here's the gist of what happens: Imagine coming home late at night from the bar (or your graveyard shift).  You're driving your truck in a residential area; then all of the sudden, you see a dozen people in the street that would make a circus look tame.  They're juggling pins that are on fire, biking in the middle of the street, rolling tires, and are break dancing.  This posse that is more out of control than anything you'll find on Jerry Springer keeps the truck from moving for six minutes.  Finally, this obviously confused man drives off and waves.  There was no middle finger, no yelling, and no fighting.  This creative video didn't end with the same result as many of Mega64's skits, but its humor was befitting of the brand name.

Most of the above videos will surely give you many "LOL" moments, but this DVD is also a worthy purchase because of its humorous plot.  At the conclusion of Version 1, Dr. Poque had pressed the reset button on the Mega64 after Sean nearly thwarted his evil plans, and as a result, Rocco and Derrick found themselves trapped in Dr. Poque's underground lair, once again.  Throughout the adventure, they're forced to test the Mega64's various games, free the rotund doctor from a mystery organization's clutches, and keep the messenger, Sean, company.  Their antics are humorous as usual, but the real stars of the show are Marcus and Horatio.  In Version 2, Marcus is even more of a ladies' man (or ladies' puppet), and he often ruins the good doctor's plans.  He invites girls over, meets his ex-girlfriend by chance, plays in a band, and severs an annoying hacker's hands.  Horatio is even more hilarious.  He hides a cake in his pants, steals Dr. Poque's goods, and takes Marcus on a date when instructed to "Take him out."  Even better than this humorous public date between a puppet and wannabe gangster is Dr. Poque's meeting with an Internet girlfriend.  Horatio makes a bet that Dr. Poque can't even get an Internet girlfriend, so the portly doctor spends time wooing a girl that goes by the alias of Sexy Mermaid.  He buys a nice steak dinner, but Horatio and Marcus ruin his date, so Dr. Poque invites her to his home for a bag of Cheetos and Hot Pockets on a plate.  Long story short, it doesn't go well.  I don't want to give too much away, but there is enough variety in this DVD to make it a worthwhile purchase. 

Mega64 :Version 2 features nearly three hours of humorous content, without counting bonus features-- all for the price of a downloadable game.  There's also behind the scenes footage of the production of Version 2, and you'll discover the aftermath of what occurred after pissing off various residents of the fine city of San Diego.  If you don't own any of the Mega64 DVDs, this is the one to purchase.  Besides, why not get warmed up before the eventual release of Version 3 later this year?
