The Future of Gaming, The year is 2085….
The year is 2085, and the "X-ball" Microsoft’s latest superconsole is selling well, despite early reviews from magazines saying they’d rather kick it, than play games on it. The Christmas line-up this year is particularly strong with the release of a number of Big must have games such as "Streetfighter EX 67.9 Gamma - The cyborg warriors", and of course the game of the new Bond movie "You can only be cloned Twice". However this Christmas everyone is eagerly anticipating the release of FIFA World cup2086, and industry hotshots are predicting that FIFA will be the Christmas number one.
So what makes this latest FIFA worth splashing out the extra Euros on, well let me tell you. For a start theres everything you’d normally expect from a FIFA game: All the top teams including 7 times and current world Champions "Scotland", and Current European Champions "Swansea City". However what’s likely to make this a big favourite is the option of taking control of many of the classic teams of yesteryear.. such as the "1966 England" team (The last time England won a major championship!).
Other added bonus features include the option to take control of not only an individual player (so you can negotiate your multi-billion-euro contracts, and take home your pop star girlfreind!) or the manager but also the Fan. This new Fan option which EA are calling the "Inividuo-interacto-real-time-fluid-play-mode" or IIRTFM for short, will revolutionise the Football game genre. You can now choose your club (e.g. Chelsea), choose and customise your fan then follow your team throughout the season, starting and organising riots are just some of the options available here.
Although “ISS Scotland 2082” on the Playstation 22 (Imaginatively titled!) is personally my favourite footy game, theres no doubt that FIFA Worldcup 2086 is a must for your X-ball collection.

But if he does that then he'll keep crashing all the time and spend more time being debugged than switched on. Then we'll have to wait for Gates v3.4 before he can properly take over the world, just as his successor is being developed.
The Third World War...
(What! They can't afford food, never mind guns!)
Oh shut up. Anyway, the Third World War, which NEARLY took off in 2089, was disrupted by the discovery of one single thing.
Technology had advanced so much, that even if Russia, (Always Russia...), launched one missile, it would take out the entire Earth on impact.
They were buggered, basically.
So the idea was, to fight it out on the internet, with Unreal Championship. All those who still played Quake 8 were shot.
Sure enough, the premise took off, and Russia's and America's teenagers took in arms to battle eachother, to gain frags.
And surely enough, they soon realised that it was getting them nowhere.
So while the teenagers still played Unreal, the scientific geniuses from Russia and America worked in harmony to degrade technolgy, so it would be possible to fight once more.
The scientists unfortuantly forgot where to stop, and we ended up with bayonets and gunpowered pistols.
"Whoops." Said the scientists.
But of course, it didn't last long, as Sony managed to take over the world in 2119, after the slow zombification of the mid twenties and lower...

I hope you were not being sarcastic by Scotland winning the World Cup.
Now by 2085 we may have got past the first round!
