G4 might be premiering its new animated series, Code Monkeys, this week but you can already watch it online. In fact, the site allows groovy embeds, so you can watch it right here (care of Break.com). This online video will be available by Break.com until July 11, 2007, the day the episode will air on G4 (at 9 p.m.)

Code Monkeys is an animated TV series written by Adam de la Pena (The Man Show and Crank Yankers) that parodies videogame culture and history. The story is set in the early 1980s, the early days of the hard core videogame phenomena, and takes place at GameAvision, an Atari style company owned by an oil tycoon who knows nothing about videogames.

True to the era and show’s atmosphere, all the characters and settings are presented ina pseudo 2D format with chunky, squared edges. The show has already lined up some videgame and computer icons including Steve Wozniak, David Jaffe and Nolan Bushnell as special guest voices.

UPDATE: (6:30 p.m., July 16, 2007) Although the video remained online a few extra days, it is no longer available. You can keep hitting the play button but it just won’t work. Heck, just keep on hitting it. You never know, something might play.
