Saw an alert for a new video on one of my YouTube subscriptions this afternoon and it immediately caught my eye. I thought, "Nothing like a quick video on Polybius to end the week," until I saw it was over an hour long. It's worth the watch if you find yourself with 68 minutes of spare time. I think he does a pretty neat job of working back the chain of folks that spread the myth around, including proposing a new potential source. The guy's also done some really neat retrospectives on the development of computer graphics and the influence of the Cold War on video games, as well as a bunch of mini-documentaries; if you find yourself enjoying this one, check out some of his other stuff.

 
Watched about 20 minutes of it so far, and it's interesting! Thanks for link!
 
Just finished watching. Entertaining, but nothing new. I am inclined to believe it is a myth, a well crafted old wise tale. A good one however, it keeps you wanting more.
 
Guy does his research. I knew most of it, but love how he went the extra mile and implicated the coinop guy as the myth creator. Makes sense.
