Tonight at 8:00 PM it shows "RISE OF THE VIDEO GAME" on Discovery!! GET READY!!...yeah, i dont really know what it is, but it has to do with video games, so im gonna check it out
Part one goes from the 1950s to the early '70s. Dang, this thing should be on The History Channel. A new episode will premiere every Wednesday at 8PM. Discovery also has a poll on its site for the show to vote on "classic" games. Obviously the fanboys have taken over as New Super Mario Bros comes in first place over Pac-Man and Space Invaders.

And the official page for the show:

Oh god that "poll" is horrible...
They use New Super Mario Bros image to represent "Super Mario Bros"
Doom 3 to represent "Doom"
Why is Tomb Raider and Spinter Cell even on there? face -> palm
Most shows like this just cover the basics that we already know, and end up questioning if videogames are good or bad. Although it does look like they will have interviews with some interesting people in the gaming industry. |

So...is it on already? I'm not too keen on beginning to watch a show in the middle of it, so if it is, I'll just wait for a rerun. |

Isn't PST three hours before EST? = /
In that case, I don't feel like staying up till 11:00 just to see something that I already know about. |
