If you ’re a History Channel science show nerd like I am , you could appreciate how much of a divergence this is for the channel . Most of their shows do fun stuff like go on location to see gargantuan machines , but seldom do they unify it up with zany , YouTube - vogue jump cut and a emcee who devolve on a skateboard . It ’s great to see science looking cool , while still retaining a geeky , educational side . Here ’s desire that History Hacker gets pick up for a full season , and we get to see Pettis pull more excogitation out of his closet . ( Also , can we see that closet , please ? ) Image viaMAKEzine . History Hacker Pilot[via Bre Pettis ]
