      During the Western Eclipse, there were two popular forms of entertainment. The first one was putting on ‘earphones’ to listen to two strangers bantering while you were stuck in traffic. The other was sitting alone in a dark room watching ‘electronic games’ on a ‘computer’.

      You mean playing ‘electronic games’.

      No, they watched strangers play the game and talking over it. Everyone under 30 got all their information and opinions served to them by people broadcasting themselves playing ‘electronic games’. Some of these players got rich, and wielded great influence and power. They styled themselves with ridiculous names: Fouldaggior, Prophecy, Moldhaven, Creampie, Shaslik, Zimzam, Hoooorg…

      This is a serious history class, you can’t just make stuff up, no one is going to believe this crap
