Not their best work, but it's still fun to watch the Mega64 guys trying to blend in at some sort of real world farmer's market while dressed as Altair from Assassin's Creed. The video's highlight? The failed assassination attempt on an octogenarian.
Classic! That's basically the entire game in a nutshell. 59.99 to do that. I kinda wish Altiar was fat. It would have been funny. Mega64 keeps getting better and better with each video.
there was another assassin's creed video like this posted a while ago, only it wasn't at a market and the guy was actually running and jumping and shit

That touching people while going through a crowd reminds me of the times where one might need to utilize those around to stagger out safely of a crowd when in an altered state.

Oh man, I forgot all about these guys. Good to see they're still making these vids.
lol, its so freaking weird when you see people like that, and they're just touching everyone lol. kind of the same situation as "if someone dressed like they were from final fantasy"

Too funny. The harder-than-expected drop into the bushes was a good finish to this one.
That was pretty sweet. But yeah, the RE4 one was probably the best I've seen.
I'm just wondering how he can get away with following people around like that and not get kicked out but he gets arrested when he acts like the RE4 merchant. Maybe they asked permission from the market staff or something?
Really dig these guys. Glad to see videogame media branch out to form other forms of entertainment. Yes I know There are videogame movies but these are actually bearable.
The last bit was awesome! He didn't know how steep the bushes were. Heehee. Some of the people there must've thought he was in a cult or something.
@Orionsaint: I wouldn't say the whole game but I do agree AC had some repetition issues. Not to mention a twist anyone can see coming a mile away.
Still finished the game though. And I have to admit the graphics were amazing. The narrative needed a bit more work. Here's hoping they do something good with AC2.
His arm flailing reminds me of Voldo from

These guys prove though the popularity of gaming has gone thru the roof it is still a niche market. If someone went out in public dressed as Iron Man, everybody and their grandmother would know what was up . . .
But you dress as even the most popular game character and non-gaming people are clueless.

That was really awesome. I've never watched these guys before... I'm gonna have to check out some of their other stuff.
It would of been great if the group of people he sat next too were King of Fighter fans and said "Ah uuu oookeee?" for double win. But as it is now, it's major win.
been watching there stuff for 3 or 4 years now and i still dont think theyve come close to the resident evil merchant in terms of public reactions yet.
haha, that was hilarious. pretty much what everyone else said too, but the pushing was the best. after watching this i immediately found all their others and now i'm fiending for some more mega64.
I found it to be one of their better spoofs, lately, it seemed like they were just getting bad, but this one I thought was really funny and really well done.
that always physically hurts me to watch people doing stuff in public that SHOULD NOT BE DONE. i really wonder how many run-ins with the police the mega64 guys have...still hilarious though...
And this is why I don't goto Santee/Lakeside anymore...
