The Video Game Revolution Hits PBS

Thanks to Chris Pirillo and his newest Lockergnome newsletter, Game Invasion for pointing out a little Must See TV heading our way. On September 8, PBS will air "The Video Game Revolution", a two hour documentary on, well, the video game revolution. Based on the website, this documentary looks more in depth than any I have seen to date, as it includes the complete revolution, from Ralph Baer, who first suggested the concept of controlling images on the TV screen in the 1950s, to a couple that met and married as on-line characters and then met and married as themselves. Looking at some of the interview clips, there will also be a focus on the controversy over violent video games. Oy. Check to see when it will air in your area.
