He really wants to get his hand in the Pocket pool.

Didn’t know he did something on Screen Savers. But I seem to remember the show being much older than what they mention.

EDIT oh I see I misread the dates in OP. It makes more sense now.

I distinctly remember the two Kevins as hosts around the time I watched G4TV. I ended up playing a game called Blockland for years after they showed it on air. Somehow I never realized Kevin Rose went on to become that Kevin Rose.

Digg is still alive?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

It died so hard it underflowed and came back to life. Poorly most likely.

Yeah they just had some bugs last go around and needed a bit of time (give or take 13 years) to fix them.
