Have any of you watched that show on discover? It's on right now and it's very interesting. They saddest part of the whole show is that I still play some of those games for like 1970 and 1980. I wasn't alive then but I have the systems and play them.

It's pretty good. They talked about a lot of stuff I didn't even know about until I saw it, and it makes some good cases for why Video Games are good. There are some issues with mixing up games, but overall, I like it, and would recommend it.

Is this the one that Jeff Keighly did? I remember him talking about doing a documentary on video games but I never saw it.

It's not? I'd call it one... And Keighley is in it. You'll recognize many people in it.

It's a "docu-series", which is still a documentary. The third episode make me despise the military.

agreed. The UK as far as I know is monitoriing Splinter cell scores for possible recruits.

That's freaky. :eek:
I found it kind of funny how in Level/Episode 5 they said that "games" like Second Life are the future of gaming. Oh please. :rolleyes:
