Yeah heard about this on Joystiq. I usually like discovery's documentaries, I watched 2057 and thought it was honestly really well done and interesting. yet to see any of the Planet Earth stuff, I might Bittorrent it.

It starts with the very beginning of video games, where people thought it was just a fad that's just going to end in a couple of years to present day, where the big powerful computers are able to run incredible games, but also where some current gamers are incredibly jaded.

Anyway, it starts at 8 tonight (nine for me though I'm mountain time), anyone else going to see it? its probably going to be the first thing I've watched on TV in months.

EDIT: oh and I almost forgot to mention that today is only going to be "part one" I think its going to be weekly. not sure though. don't know how many parts there is going to be...

That'll be 2 good shows! First this one at 8, then MythBusters!
Thanks for the news.

Yeah, I love watching documentaries on things I don't know about, but not so much on stuff like this.

Still, good for people not into games I guess.

just because you already know a lot about video games does not mean it has nothing to tell you that you have not learned before. Anyway even if I end up know pretty much all the stuff they talk about, it would still be entertaining to me. I mean, its on a topic I'm interested in.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
