Lorne Lanning "Guest Stars" on an episode of Codemonkeys on G4 Network

Codemonkeys? I've never heard of it until a few days ago, and as I understand it's quite a hit! The show is about a game company called "Game-a-vision" and details the adventures of the game programmers who work at this company. (BTW, the show is done in the original 8-bit nintendo graphics, very clever) Imagine my surprise when Lorne Lanning cameo'd in the show as a "New Guy" and starts talking about Oddworld, Mudokons and Gabbits, only to get tazed and thrown down a well. Later on he reappears in the show only to get his head knocked off.

Sad and surprising, a fact exacerbated by the fact that I haven't followed Oddworld in years and "boom" here comes this surprise. I looked up the show on G4.com and it says that the episode originally aired on September 12, so the episode I saw just tonight was a rerun. Here's G4's limited mention of it:

I find it interesting that this comes out almost as a response to Lorne's shutting down of the San Luis Obispo facility.... then being written into this show as "a new guy" at another game company.

Just a tidbit I thought I'd share.
