damn Rocco looking like he's in The Polar Express

Shawn went to the doctor one time and solved his whole life LOL

Jehuty is finally in 1080p

rocco finally got his wish being on screen at all times

Rumor has it Rocco sent Derrick to the virtual realm, but with Vision Basic, Derrick didn't stand a chance

I heard when your Vision Pro is not showing your eyes it means you’re watching naughty videos.

Over the last 700 episodes, mega64's members have been very candid and honest about certain important things. Some things are private, some are livestreamed. I would be completely shocked if any of them quit/retired/got fired from Mega64 without them making a statement on the podcast. I've always felt like the podcast was not always derricks favorite part, so I'm glad he's getting to do what he enjoys behind the scenes, even if I do miss his presence.

Honestly very big of Rocco to empathize with the gossipy fans. Not just outright being annoyed by all that and dismissing it, I sure as hell would

Rocco’s Apple Avatar is going to become sentient, and take over the podcast like Clu in TRON: Legacy

Rocco's avatar is just liminal space Doc Ryan

Dude. The cut from Shawn and Garret to Rocco and Kevin had me laughing in pain. This poor man talking about his week of chronic pain being cutt off by this digital Jedi and Kevin is juts. Prefect. Chefs kiss.

I saw the reddit blowing up because of Derrick being out of the intro of the podcast and was honestly just confused. Derrick has communicated pretty clearly over the years, that more in-depth creative projects are his passion. Derrick had pretty clearly (to me) been phasing out of the podcast until it was announced he was taking a step back from it. Removing him from the intro makes sense both since he's currently not wanting to participate in it, but also because leaving him there could communicate to many that he is coming back on "soon". Saying all that, as someone who doesn't interact in the community much that people like me notice all this stuff and just don't worry about all the weird over analyzing that it seems some people in the community tend to.

Rocco looks like the loading screen from Heavy Rain

I really hope that Derek shows up in the next podcast, but just sits there in silence for 2 hours looking pissed off.

Life really does come full circle. Rocco has become Zordon!

Rocco looks like he’s in a tech demo for a David Cage game.

One time Derrick uploaded a new music video he directed and I wanted to support it and boost it's visibility so I was going to leave a comment but I didn't really have anything to say so I just wrote "DERRICK GETTIN' HIS DIRECT ON" thinking it would be ignored but then it ended up being the most liked comment and then eventually it got deleted. I just wanted to take a moment and say sorry bout that.

Serial Experiments: Rocco

I’m eternally grateful for this podcast, it’s helped me get through a lot of crappy times in my life. You boys also don’t owe us a damn thing, good on Derrick for putting himself and his happiness first. You guys all deserve to be happy and do what you want to do, can’t wait to see what you have in store for us this year!

The one hour unskippable Apple ad was highly worth the emotional ending 😢

I am wondering what it will take to have someone genuinely correct Garrett on "Jason Stratham"

The avatar looks like every ‘In memoriam’ photo

In the near future, the 4th seat on the podcast will be for Vision Pro at $4.99 per internet spatial soldier.

That apple cartoon of Rocco makes me want to die.

Guys, If Derek wants to practice sleight of hand magic, I think we should just let him.

Kevin just staring down chat the entire time

Even though you've talked about it before, it was clarifying to hear about Derrick again. It's been a little stale without him, in my opinion, but everyone who wants to be there is there, and the boys are still working on stuff, and I'm excited for the Boardgame Olympics stream!

The avatar looks like Rocco and Doc Ryan did the fusion dance

You're finally going to be digital digital digital, forever

1:16:42 Derrick topic

Rocco’s Apple Vision Pro avatar reminds me a bit of Jared Fogle.

love how soy the digital apple Rocco looks. truly cucked for life

I really understood Rocco's point, I think he did a pretty good job of expressing something that I think most people who comment dont bother thinking about. I had a similar thought last time dallas was on, he comes on once in a while talks for an hour or so and suddenly the next two weeks are 3000 people ripping into him. Obviously there should be some awareness and responsibility when speaking to a wide audience, but unless someone is saying some truly vile shit, they dont deserve to get ragged on at such an absurd volume.

Just commenting to say that I appreciate you guys and loved the podcast. People are memeing and being annoying about stuff in the comments but there are a lot of people that love what you do and support everyone in their own endeavors

We need a Shawn & Garrett lifting stream!

rocco in prepping for kojima's OD with his apple avatar

Cyber Rocco looks kinda like Eric Wareheim or Penn Jillette 😂

Its crazy because Derrick is just off frame playing on his phone the whole podcast

Rocco looking like the main menu character in Detroit Become Human

I can't believe Cyber Shawn yelled those things at those children... Again.

Shawn really turned his life around, very inspiring!

This is an all time classic episode

Maybe add Kevin and Johnny to a new opening?

Glad Garrett brought up Cyberpunk. I always say "if we're living in a Cyberpunk-style corporate controlled hellhole we might as well have the cool ass technology of Cyberpunk too." I predict in about 5 years the Vision is gonna get it to that point (in terms of actually good AR in a natural form-factor like glasses). Only a matter of time before we get to contacts as Shawn said, and then from there Kiroshi optics and mantis blades

Rocco is completely right about how a podcast isn't just a one hour a week commitment, any offhand comment can follow you around for long after the fact. I even think he undersold it, which was exemplified by the chat starting to say "Derrick getting his drink on," something from years ago that Derrick himself has publicly stated he's sick of hearing. To use another internet person as an example, Dingdong, formerly of Oneyplays (who was a guest on MegaStrange) has had to address on his stream multiple times about how offhanded comments he made in a video from upwards of seven years ago still follow him around. But the video was recorded late at night and he didn't even remember saying them the next day, let alone years later (see: Shawn and the baby man). Remember when Derrick was frustrated by his experience with Hades, and made an exaggerated outburst that the game was a 0/10? Clearly he didn't mean that literally, yet the comments from the video were all about that and he had to address it in the next podcast. I don't blame him at all for wanting to step away from dealing with that nonsense and focusing on making creative things.

All haters will answer to the King of Apple.

I will miss Derrick, but every side of this makes sense. The fans def been pulling on Derrick especially. I do think its okay to miss him too, he was a big draw to the show combined with Rocco. I prolly will tune out more since he's gone, but I won't demand he comes back either. Thankful for the whole team we already have over 600 episodes with Derrick.

His Avatar looks like Matthew Perry looking down from heaven

This was legitimately the hardest I’ve laughed in ages. Thank you boys 👍

digi-rocco looks like one of those overly airbrushed photos they use all the time in tim and eric

"We completely reserve the right to privacy" *puts apple vr headset back on*

Rocco with the Serial Experiments Lain references. lol

Hearing Derrick for the board game stuff at the beginning it was almost like he came back for the pod🥹🥹

Rocco's vision pro saga is hilarious

People are just waiting for that Yoko moment. Perpetually in a state of "when is the other shoe gonna drop". I think the podcast has gotten better in the last few years.

My animation professor did the animation for that dead wife sequence in Minority Report and was never credited

That's so uncanny I had to change to the Spotify feed just to not accidently look at this Rocco

I think you should film a friend dimension where you’re playing a board game and Rocco is filming it with the Apple Vision Pro.

roccos avatar kinda looks like doc ryan idk why

Rocco looks like he's sitting on the council in Bill & Ted

ai rocco looks like newman from seinfeld

I cant stop looking at the avatar rather than Rocco’s actual face. This is amazing lol

my favorite thing is the big fat power cable awkwardly dangling across his body

PLEASE! Film some Apollo Creed/Rocky style workout montages, Shawn and Garrett! Bring back Broccoli fitness!

This is incredible. Virtual Rocco

Wait till Shawn has bluecheese dressing with wings--THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE

Mega64 isn't media, it's "social" media. That behind the scenes, friendship simulator is part of the "contract". From what I'm hearing Derrick just wants to stick to traditional media.

Legalize Ranch!

Just a lil' Cybercast come early

Im so glad rocco bought the Vision, i cant wait for all the Future Based Stunts coming this year

Me, being the big ass nerd still neck deep into Rock Band 4, playing Rivals every week was slightly cringing at the discussion towards the end hahaha. I totally miss the glory days of Rock Band too, but RB4 did just receive its very last weekly DLC release two weeks ago which is insane. It’s totally still around though and there are weekly challenges released (although the rewards for playing them are rehashed from past seasons) Unfortunately Fortnite Festival is the “future of rock band” as harmonix put it, but there are rumors that guitar hero might be returning soon. And the new PDP guitar is compatible with Fortnite Festival and Rock Band 4! The resurgence is hopefully happening soon. If Fortnite really does reach the quality of rock band I’ll finally launch it for the first time after preordering it lmao.

Rocco has finally become one with the PS3. He lives in the cell processor now.

29:13 - Garrett describes the plot of Ready Player Two without realizing it.

I still dont get what the thing does?

I'm glad Rocco has achieved his dream of being in the Matrix

The themesong glitch made it analog horror lmao

Eternally jealous of Rocco having all the Beatles: Rock Band DLC. I got into that game through this channel (already liked the others, but was "eh" at the Beatles at the time), and it was already way too late. Now I love that one, wish I could get more, and it's longggggg gonnnnnnnnnne I still play the old ones, RB4's disc is always sitting in the PS4 with loads of DLC and gets played a bunch, but I always feel like I'm missing that bit

I think we can safely say virtual rocco is the most christlike

Haven't watched in a bit and didn't know Derrick had stepped away from the podcast.

Rocco's avatar has that scuffed airbrush/glam rendering of MGS4 character/cutscenes.. has an anime ayaya feel like one of those Yazuka games as well.

Digital Rocco is the most unsettling thing I've witnessed

I love smooth Rocco

Cyber rocco looks hauntingly similar to cgi young jeff bridges in Tron Legacy

So excited to see Rocco in the new "O.D." project by Kojima!

Cyber Rocco looks like Dr. Ryan

While I'm sure that like 80% of the Derrick comments/emails are mostly people indulging in the bit, and while I've really enjoyed Derrick being on the podcast, when I think about if I were in his shoes, I'd get bored of doing the same thing year after year, too. Doesn't matter how great my friends are, I'd be fuckin bored after YEARS getting together each week goin "yeah, playing this video game still. Yep, saw this movie that everyone else saw" etc etc. Think it's great that Derrick has been doing his own thing. All of the special livestreams have gotten cleaner and better, more and more well produced since Derrick has shifted his focus to non-podcast content.

Finally, the future is now

Why does digital Rocco look like a different type of white guy

can we give virtual rocco cat ears and whiskers

Avatar looks like that weird commentary dude "The Quartering"

Rocco, Rock Band 4 was supported longer than Rock Band 1-3, it got DLC for 8 years and they just released their last DLC two weeks ago.

Rocco's avatar looks like Newman.

Rocco looking like Ed Norton lmao

How do you not get Vitamin D in California?

That internet drama shit in yt is indeed start to gets irritaring. Yt shoved em into my feed every-single-time, and I'm sick of it. I used internet to escape all of that shit from tv and now internet is doing the same exact thing. Like, what the hell is wrong with people??

Derrick missing from the pod is really not a big deal at all

Wow, legendary.

Digital, digital, digital, forever.

I feel like if they ever made a 360° ghost hunting video or urban exploration videos, they would look amazing in the Apple Vision Pro.
