Pretty cool. Wish they had made that vid before I had to take GSP 110 and read all that crap. Although I guess I would have still had to read because they got a couple facts wrong. For example Computer Space, an adaptation of Steve Russel`s Spacewar was the first coin-op video arcade game, not Pong.

-=You already voted on this article changing it from a 4.85 to a 4.85.=-

This is such a great documentary for spiked humor that my 4.2 voting power is equal to nothing (specially since i am voting 5).

Great post!

5/5 just for the "AHHH!" dude form the intro to civ4 warlords at 0:49. I always thought he looked/sounded like he had a problem.
