They green lit season 3?? :dwillhuh:

It's starts this week??? :krs:

It already aired on Tuesday. I didn't know about it until today when I saw it show up at the top of the list of recorded programs in my DVR. At first I figured the DVR picked up a rerun, but its a new episode.

This show continues the tradition of the main cast inventing everything computer-related
I was about to say that Joe invented Shareware, but its more proper to say that he invented "freemium" software:
Freemium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also, looks like Mutiny is morphing into some kind of MMO (with Sierra OnLine level graphics) in in 1986.

Yep..so apparently according to the show it was Joe's idea to commercialize Arpanet/The Internet before anyone ever thought of it.
Meanwhile, Mutiny is out there inventing eBay.

Discovering video game secrets on your own before the days of the widespread internet was always :blessed:.

I remember the first time I saw the Street Fighter arcade game back in the late 80's. That was back in the days where games like "Karate Champ" were popular. Kids today would probably never believe this, but back then the "Hadoken" attacks were a SECRET. Nothing on the game machine or "attract screen" told you about it. It was like an Urban Legend going around among kids that there was some weird combo that would make magic fireballs shoot out. Then, some kid would accidentally get one to fire off at random, then never be about to do it again. (Back then, I was never able to do it myself.)

That's how Cameron and Gordon could play Super Mario Brothers for days and days and have no clue that the "Warp Zone" existed. That could never happen today.
