Due to popular belief, you may think that gaming is a reasonably new fad, that is some 25 years young, but how Naïve you are. Gaming began eons and eons before that though.
Take your mind back to the beggining of time. The big gang had happened about 100 years ago and Adam and Eve have now both passed away. The time slip had just begun and strange things such as guns, bombs and police had been showing up left, right and center. There was a man named Loki. He was quite a mischiefous boy and got into a lot of trouble. When he grew into a man he was no different. But, the day he showed up to burn his parents' house down, did he know that just about 1 hour later, he would be dead?
Loki is about to perpetrate this terrible crime when just in the nick of time, the police arrive on the scene. They try to convince Loki to come out of the house and give up. Nobody comes out of the house. Finally, Loki walks out with a detonation stick used for dynamite and the detonation string tied to his elbow. The police threaten to shoot. Police go in to grab him but he lifts his elbow, setting off a bomb. The house bursts into flames and the police are blinded by the firework. They recover and open fire on an already on-fire Loki. Loki continues to walk towards them, even with 7 bullets in his chest. After a further 4 bullets, Loki falls to the floor and an Ambulance arrives, prosuming him dead.
The people of the earth had never seen anybody like this, a renegade. Also, God did not take a blind eye to this and when Loki went to the gates of heaven, they did not open and Loki was sentenced to an eternity in hell. Loki was the first to go to hell and certainly not the last. Loki floated away from the gates and in what seemed like an instant, he was at some other gates with the words, "Hades" written on them. The gates opened and Loki walked through. From the outset, he was being treated as he had treated people. People in dark suits and red flesh known as "Devils" were guiding him through the darkness. They dropped him off at a well lit area and left him there. The lava bubbled around him as he sat there, bored. He sat there, he sat there some more and he sat there for thousands of years.
Over this period, Loki had formulated a plan to get to Heaven. He planned to ask God for another chance. God, who had grown older, had forgotten about Loki's bad deeds and gave him this other chance, but with a slight condition. Loki would have a gardian angel, who has no name so Loki referred to him simply as "Angel". Angel revealed to Loki that he indeed was also a renegade and had been to Hell for a long time. Angel did the same scam as Loki was doing and so Angel decided to help Loki get to Heaven and so, they arrived at Earth.
During the thousands of years, Loki hadn't just sat there and thought to himself, he thought of other ways to get back at god. One of these was called "Gaming". Gaming was an addictive, unlawful act that was carried out in the comfort of your own home. It was entertaining and pleasurable. It let you control characters of famous films and be able to choose their destiny, do they die or do they live?
Down on Earth, it was now 1965. Loki told complete strangers about his idea and a few people liked it but those who didn't, recieved a Glock 47 bullet through their head. A man named Alfonz Tuter took Loki's idea and made his first game called "Pong". It involved two bats and you had to bounce a ball back and forth, trying to use so much skill that your opponent loses contact with the ball, winning you a point. One night, Loki goes over tp Alfonz's appartment.
Loki was not a happy man and asked if Loki could have all rights to the game. Alfonz refused and seconds later, his head was rolling across the floor via Shotgun. Loki stole the game and began marketing it. It caught on to a lot of the general public.
Unfortunatly, there is even more sadness to the tail, in a heated argument, Angel murdered Loki by stabbing through the chest with a sword. God saw this transpire and screamed at the top of his voice. It was so intense that Angel's heart exploded and his head flew off of his torso, decapitating him. God had tried many times to ban games but the general public loved games so much, that he gave in, as he didn't want to hurt his lovely creations. And...the rest is history. So, now you know how gaming began.
