TV and Video Games

After a bit of optimization, connecting both an amplified antenna and a pair of old-fashioned bunny ears to an HD receiver, I’ve finally gotten all the free digital HDTV channels I want piped into my little idiot box at home. Sweeeet. Last night, I came across a special on video games from the most-unlikely of networks to air it: PBS. The show brought on a bit of nostalgia as it documented the evolution of gaming from the early days of Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt on the original NES, to the birth of FPS games like Doom and Quake, and to the emergence of MMORPG worlds more recently. Did you know that Pac-Man was originally named Puck-Man in Japan, but was changed when it got here to avoid people altering it to something more offensive? Btw, I’ve taken down my guestbook ’cause it was getting spammed too much.
