'''Rocco Botte''' (born 1984) is an American independent actor and director living in [[San Diego, California]]. He is best known for his work in [[Mega64]], an web based comedy group founded in 2003. The group produces a self titled series that has had three seasons released on [[DVD]]. [[Complex (magazine)|ComplexGaming]] named Botte number 2 in a list of top 25 video game personalities you should know who aren't developers.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.complex.com/video-games/2013/01/25-non-developer-personalities-in-the-video-game-industry-you-should-know-who-arent-developers/rocco-botte | title = 25 Video Game Personalities You Should Know Who Aren't Developers |publisher= Complex | date = 2013-01-23 | accessdate = 2013-03-07 }}</ref>

Botte was born and raised in the [[San Diego]], [[California]] area. He is from an [[Italian-American]] family. Botte attended [[West Hills High School]] where he joined the school's theater department and met his future co-workers Derrick Acosta and Shawn Chatfield. He set up his first website in the early 2000's that chronicled stupid instant messages he had been sent, hosted his pictures, videos and various opinions & information on the television series [[Power Rangers]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://web.archive.org/web/20021104215234/http://razza.org/rocco/index2.htm | title = Rocco's Website O' Insanity |publisher= Rocco Botte | date = 2002-11-04 | accessdate = 2013-03-07 }}</ref> He worked at a [[video store]] for a few years, which he did not enjoy. Botte is an avid [[figurine]] collector, often posting updates about his purchases on his personal YouTube channel.

On November 5th, 2002 Botte wrote down a loose outline for what would become [[Mega64]] during class.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNaQsEmUkx4 | title = The Plaque |publisher= Rocco Botte | date = 2012-10-14 | accessdate = 2013-03-07 }}</ref> He eventually recruited friends Derrick Acosta and Shawn Chatfield to help create the show, which was intended to be released on [[public access]] television. Eventually, all episodes were released on DVD, published through Awful Video, the publishing arm of [[Something Awful]]. In early 2006 short skits from the series were uploaded to [[YouTube]], usually featuring Botte or another member of Mega64 portraying a video game character causing chaos in a public setting. Several of these videos have gone on to garner millions of views.

With Mega64 he has produced videos for various websites including [[Penny Arcade]], [[Game Trailers]], [[ArmorGames]] and [[IGN]]. He has also created ads for video game companies [[Ubisoft]], [[The Behemoth]] and [[Perfect World Entertainment]] as well as the online video game service [[GameTap]].

Mega64 was asked to create segments for [[The Aquabats]]' new television show [[The Aquabats! Super Show!]] on [[The Hub]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://mega64.com/2012/02/23/mega64-does-the-aquabats-super-show/ | title = Mega64 Does the Aquabats Super Show! |publisher= Mega64 | date = 2012-02-23 | accessdate = 2013-03-07 }}</ref> Botte had been acquaintances with the Aquabats lead singer [[Christian Jacobs]] ever since they had gotten permission from the band to use their song "Sequence Erase" as the theme song for Mega64. In a collaboration with composer [[Tommy Tallarico]], Botte and Mega64 released the tongue in cheek video series "Gamer Warz". A limited print two disc Gamer Warz DVD set was released in November 2012.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://mega64.com/2012/11/05/another-shocker-gamer-warz-complete-saga-dvd-announced/ | title = Another Shocker!!

A sound clip featuring Botte's laugh is part of a widespread [[internet meme]] dubbed "WTF BOOM!" by [[Know Your Meme]].
