This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Mega64''''' is an American satirical [[comedy troupe]] and independent [[production company]] created by Rocco Botte, Derrick Acosta, and Shawn Chatfield. Founded in [[San Diego]] in 2003, Mega64 is responsible for producing an eponymous [[web series]], various [[Sketch comedy|sketches]], and a [[podcast]].<ref>((Cite web |title=About - Mega64 |url=https://mega64.com/about |access-date=2023-09-30 |website=mega64.com))</ref> The core group consists of Rocco Botte, Derrick Acosta, and Shawn Chatfield with additional members Garrett Hunter, Meg Turner, Johnny Weiss, Kevin Bushong, Frank Howley and Bryan Abou Chacra. [[Roosterteeth]] member Eric Baudour was also a member of the group. They organize an annual informal [[fan convention]] at [[Disneyland]] titled Gamedays.<ref>((Cite web |title=GAMEDAYS IS LIKE A WEEK AWAY!!

[[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'' magazine]] named Mega64 as one of its "10 Comics to Watch for 2015".<ref>((cite web |author=Variety Staff |date=June 15, 2015 |title=Variety 10 Comics to Watch for 2015 |url=https://variety.com/2015/scene/news/variety-10-comics-to-watch-2015-1201517857/ |access-date=September 4, 2018 |work=Variety))</ref>

==Web series==
Originally conceived to be a [[public-access television]] show, the original five episodes of the eponymous web series were later released on [[DVD]] in 2004 as ''Mega64: Version 1''. Since then, three more seasons have been released.

=== Premise ===
In the not too distant future, a sinister scientist named Dr. Poque (Botte) creates the most powerful video game console ever assembled. Known as the 'Mega64', this device has the power to download classic and contemporary video games into the user's brain, causing them to take on a whole new reality.<ref>((cite web |last1=Helewa |first1=Nas |title=Mega64 is here.

While ((sic|Rocko)) and ((sic|nolink=y|Derek)) are hooked to the Mega64, the viewer sees them acting as characters in the corresponding game, interacting with ordinary people in San Diego. Another character, named Sean, is initially hired by Dr. Poque as Rocko and Derek's "e-mail delivery man" but also starts taking part in the Mega64 experiments.

Two additional characters are later introduced: a puppet named Marcus (voiced by Chatfield), who is presumably working for Poque; and Horatio (Acosta), Poque's eccentric Mexican roommate.((citation needed|date=September 2022))

=== History ===
[[File:Mega64dvd1.jpg|thumb|left|''Version 1'' DVD case]]
Mega64 was originally produced to air on public-access television as a weekly tv-show; however, the original five episodes were not deemed to be suitable for broadcast. Later, creator Rocco Botte pitched the show to [[G4 (U.S. TV channel)|G4]] but was rejected. Through the suggestion of [[Tommy Tallarico]],  Botte decided to publish the material online.<ref>((cite web |last1=Botte |first1=Rocco |title=SO YEAH WE WERE JUST ON XPLAY |url=http://mega64.com:80/2009/01/27/so-yeah-we-were-just-on-xplay/ |website=Mega64 |access-date=September 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090202135734/http://mega64.com/2009/01/27/so-yeah-we-were-just-on-xplay/ |archive-date=February 2, 2009 |language=en |date=January 27, 2009 |url-status=live ))</ref>

Eventually, the show was released on DVD, published through Awful Video, the publishing arm of [[Something Awful]].<ref>((cite web |last1=Kyanka |first1=Rich |title=Mega64: Version 1 Announced! |url=https://www.somethingawful.com/news/mega64-version-announced/ |website=SomethingAwful |access-date=17 April 2022))</ref>

==Podcast==
Currently available through Twitch and YouTube, a podcast consisting of the Mega64 crew and various guests is released every Tuesday. The podcast premiered September 25, 2006.<ref>((cite web |last1=Botte |first1=Rocco |title=MEGA64 PODCAST ON ITUNES, BLOGOSPHERE |url=http://www.mega64.com/news.htm |website=Mega64 |access-date=September 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061021100036/http://www.mega64.com/news.htm |archive-date=October 21, 2006 |language=en |date=September 27, 2006))</ref> At first, it was only available in audio format, but since December 24, 2007, it has also been in video format. Since its launch, the video podcast has been featured as Mega64's main podcast, while the audio podcasts are audio extractions of the video counterparts. This is often referred to in the video podcast, with hosts or guests sometimes describing things that are happening for those who are listening to the audio-only version. As of January 11, 2009, the video podcast has been [[Streaming media|live streamed]], first on [[Ustream]]<ref>((cite web |title=LIVECAST 1-25-09 |url=http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1094399 |website=Ustream |access-date=September 13, 2018 |language=en |date=January 25, 2009 |archive-date=September 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180913223736/http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1094399 |url-status=dead ))</ref> and then on Twitch, every Sunday at 6pm PST.<ref>((cite web |last1=Dichoso |first1=Melvin |title=XSplit User Showcase: Mega64 Interview with Eric Baudour & Garrett Hunter Part One |url=https://www.xsplit.com/blog/xsplit-user-showcase-mega64-interview-eric-baudour-garrett-hunter-part-one |website=XSplit |access-date=September 13, 2018 |language=en |date=March 2, 2016))</ref>

The podcast is usually recorded at the ''Mega64'' studio, but the ''Mega64'' crew has also been known to record podcasts in different locations. For example, the February 12, 2008 podcast was filmed at Disneyland, with much of the discussion taking place on Disneyland attractions.<ref>((cite web |title=MEGA64 PODCAST 36: THE HAPPIEST PODCAST ON EARTH! |url=http://mega64.com/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080215220204/http://mega64.com/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 15, 2008 |website=Mega64 |access-date=September 13, 2018 |date=February 15, 2008))</ref> Subsequent podcasts have been filmed in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Toronto, and the home of Tommy Tallarico.

On September 26, 2011, animator Hotdiggedydemon (Max Gilardi) and ''Mega64'' teamed up to make animated cartoons of the podcast for 6 weeks called ''Mega64nimation''.<ref>((cite web |last1=Botte |first1=Rocco |title="MEGA64NIMATION" BEGINS!!
