Haven't watched, but I'm going to predict at least one really boring segment that focuses on the controversy over violence in video games. I wish it were not so, but every single video games history I've ever seen has screeched to a halt in at least one part to rehash something that has little to do with the actual games and more to do with media hype and political opportunism.

Violence is touched on in the 90's at 43:00 but the focus is on the innovation of Street Fighter 2 and Doom and again it 47:45 with Mortal Kombat, Night Trap and the US Senate Hearings that led to the ESRB rating system. The pace of the narrative is still compelling as this was an important leap forward where game graphics could be represented by photographic imagery. Let's face it, the violence controversy formed a major part of the evolution of video games.

If you can't stand to hear about Columbine again, skip 52:00 to 54:00. Glen Beck chimes in on GTA at 1:11:00, but he doesn't steal the spotlight.

Moving this video to alcom's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
