If you missed the first showing which was yesterday at 9:00 PM, they are going to rebroadcast it soon. It was a very nicely done show. They showed a lot of videos from very old games as well as some newer ones like DOom3 and even the recently released MOH: PA demo. Very informative. You also get to see Carmack with his Ferrari.

I saw this show, it was great. They interviewed Shigeru Miyamoto, Sid Meier, and Peter Molyneux so that made the show even better. The part about the blind girl was really sad.

And the part about the MMORPG romance was hilarious.

i didn't see it, but from what i've heard, they really did a very poor job at their research, as alot of their information was blatantly incorrect. And also, that alot of the videos that played in the backround were of different games than the one they were usually talking about. I'd love to give specific examples, but the thread (different forum) i got this from seems to be gone.
