Umm... I'm hoping it will be good enough to be put in da sweet stuff, but 2nite at 9, on channel 27 i think? is a 2 hour documentary about the history of video games. Sounds like it should be interesting to all the hardcore gamers out there. I'm gonna be busy for 2 hours 2nite, thats for sure:)

hahaha thats hilarious.

it was a good special. i still think the over-reaction of violence in games is stupid.
i mean i played mortal kombat and there was blood and shit but it was cool, like wow thats crazy, let me try the move. not hey lets try it on the quiet kid in class. stupid people like that hate rap cuz they say bitches and ho's.

anyways wicked show thanks for the head up photonic.

yay for video game violence...

i was kinda dissapointed in the special in regards that they payed very little to attention to Sega (I was a sega kid growing up), not specifically due to personal preference, but also due to all the groundbreaking stuff that sega introduced, the first (and i belive) only 3D glasses to be released for a home system, which was back in the 80's, the first color handheld system, the first system capable of playing multiple platform games (the genesis was capable of playing their 8-bit SMS games), and also I think they were the first company to put platform games in CD format.

Other than that, I enjoyed it:)
