The first week of June is gearing up to be a big one for Revision3 as we span from coast to coast with exciting events and coverage for you. Whether you’re in Los Angeles for the celebration of video games at E3 or in New York City for Internet Week, Revision3 has some cool events and appearances lined up for you. If you’re not in LA or NYC, you can still take part in the fun from home with our coverage and episode releases. Here’s the rundown of what’s going on in June:
E3 - This is the mega huge video game expo in LA where all the latest and greatest from the video game world is presented and demoed. Of course Revision3 is there in spades with CO-OP and the Totally Rad Show on hand to cover the event. With both shows covering the event, we could not contain the amount of awesomeness going on, so we created a one stop spot for everything E3 at Revision3, or “RevisionE3″ as we like to call it. Just head over to revision3.com/e3 and you can tune in to the LIVE stream featuring the TRS guys AND the CO-OP team live from the show floor - June 2nd, 3rd and 4th at 7 PM Eastern / 4 PM Pacific. In addition to the live shows, CO-OP will be releasing DAILY specials from E3, and the Totally Rad Show will be releasing their E3 reactions on June 9th.
Diggnation in NYC - Last year’s live Diggnation in New York City was a sold out event and was insane. This year, we return to New York City with our friends from Digg to host Diggnation LIVE and host a Digg Meetup at a bigger venue: Webster Hall in Manhattan. If you live in the New York Metro area, you’re not going want to miss this as it’s looking to be one of the biggest live Diggnations ever!

Today marks a milestone in not only Revision3’s history, but that of internet television as a medium. Today we celebrate Diggnations’s 200th episode. The show started with a phone call from Kevin Rose to Alex Albrecht. They decided that since iTunes was going to be starting video podcasts, they should put one up. That call happened on a Tuesday and the first episode of Diggnation was posted that Thursday. With that, a revolution in online video began and since then an episode of Diggnation has gone up every week, pretty much without fail. Over the years, Kevin, Alex and their tireless producer David Prager have put tons of time and creativity into this show and have grown an audience of devoted and rabid fans that include celebrities, politicians, athletes, men, women and pets!
Recently we did a live Diggnation on stage at Stubbs in Austin during South By Southwest. Stubbs is the premiere venue in Austin and is the “place to be” during SXSW. When the owner of the venue looked out at the crowd of thousands of screaming fans who had come to see Diggnation that night, he said “I’ve never seen anything like this….this isn’t a band…this is two guys on a couch!” That’s true, but as we all know the show is much more than that. It’s authentic, hilarious, visionary, boozy, community driven and just plain fun. It’s truly a unique and watershed show and this is a moment to be acknowledged by the entertainment industry as a whole.
So, please join me in congratulating the team that makes Diggnation every week: Kevin, Alex, Prager, Hippie Glenn, Mauricio the editor and the Revision3 staff as a whole. The next two hundred episodes are going to be even better than the first!

In case you missed it, Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht of Diggnation appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on NBC last night. This isn’t the first time Jimmy Fallon and the Diggnation guys have teamed up, as Jimmy was on Diggnation a few weeks ago. But this time, Kevin and Alex were on Jimmy’s court, from his studio in 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City.
If you missed it, here’s the entire segment of Kevin and Alex on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon:
Watch it on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’s site
Give Kevin and Alex’s appearance a Digg
All in all it was a great day for Diggnation. Not only were Kevin and Alex psyched to be on the show, but the Diggnation fans came and represented, as some were in line as early as 8 AM. Jimmy was nice enough to get the die-hard fans some breakfast:
We’d like to thank Jimmy Fallon and his entire, awesome team at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and the folks at NBC for welcoming Diggnation onto their show and thanks to all of you, the loyal Diggnation fans who attended and watched at home.
thanks.

There are times when my job is easy. The moment the Area5 (CO-OP) guys came to our office for their first meeting, I knew this show needed to be on Revision3. I’ve been a longtime fan of their work at 1UP and their new show is a huge creative leap forward. With that, I’d like to officially extend a HUGE welcome to our friends at CO-OP, the latest show to launch on the Revision3 network.
Matt, Ryan, Cesar, Jason, Rob and JayFresh have been working tirelessly to keep their show going independently through their new company, Area5. We are thrilled to give them a new home here at Revision3 and help them take their video game show to the next level. I can honestly say that this is a fantastic and dedicated group of guys and their talent is clear when you watch CO-OP. They have found an extremely engaging and entertaining way to talk about games with insiders who are actually their friends.
Check out this week’s premiere episode which is up now and the new episodes will be launching every Tuesday from here on out.

Recently James Martin of CNET stopped by our offices and studio and took some photos of Revision3, behind the scenes. He also visited Kevin Rose’s apartment and took some photos of Diggnation being taped. Recently the photos along with some cool audio narration from Jim Louderback, David Prager, and Kevin Rose were posted over at CNET. If you’re curious about how we produce shows like The Digg Reel and Diggnation, then you definitely have to check out this audio slideshow. It’s a super cool combination of photos and the folks that make Revision3 tick talking about what we do.
thanks.
