Once there was in 1999, a young a man named Basilius
Evlampievich (Hereinafter - VA).
He was an avid fan video games.
He loved everything to do with computers, internet
and the gaming industry.
And, so I loved, Many perceive that
too close to heart.
In particular, it is so believed in the end of the world,
that will happen with the beginning 2000 year when it goes crazy
all computers that filed statement in a secret
research Institute, where he developed
freezing technology alive organisms with subsequent
Defrost them years later.
And, it just so happened that they just need was willing
experimental.
And then, as if by magic, letter from Vasey.
In general, we decided to make as follows: freeze it on the eve of
Millenium Obnulleniuma, and defrost in a couple
days, if it turns out that no end of the world not
It was.
But then everything went not the case freeze a frozen,
and then the celebration began: New Year, Christmas, 23rd
February, March 8th.
In general, to get forgotten of our cryogenic chamber
Vasya.
Lost and paper on it Grandma Masha - a local cleaning lady
- let kindling the stove in the auxiliary boiler room.
Then one day, serene, spring day 2017, at the Research Institute
I turned off the light.
Something happened there force majeure - never mind.
It is important that due to power outages cold chamber has stopped working,
and people have started to thaw, and rebound.
I come and Bob.
He opened the hatch, and I went down the hall lab
slapping her bare, wet feet on the marble floor.
He walked so walked until I saw in one of the rooms,
something like computer class, on which the center
It was a new and powerful computer - the pride of the institute.
Electricity at the time We have already given, and our hero is not
seen by anyone, included a computer.
I plug and began to wonder.
Raised iron power and the Internet.
First of all, Bob reached configuration, and very
I wondered the power of PC.
On his home computer It had 128 MB of RAM,
and 16 MB video card.
The hard disk was 6.4 GB.
Now RAM tens of
gigabyte memory GPU - just gigs, and
hard disks have switched to thousandth calculus.
After that, our hero opened Internet and I wondered again:
Internet has evolved even steeper, and rate of 100Mbps, after
Dial-Up-modem seemed to him, something than would have seemed
Formula 1 car inventors the first cars with engines
Internal combustion.
A virtual reality.
Next, Bob decided to learn: what a thing like this - virtual
reality.
He looked Lawnmower and I had some idea
a tremendous helmets that It must be worn on the head.
But he could not imagine, that all this music will
in video games, and helmets will be available to mere mortals.
One of helmets by happy accident, lying side by side.
Our hero put it on his head, and launched some primitive
demo example program.
She was impressed, but not really, but the erotic
videos that are viewed, apparently one of the staff
SRI, in his VR-helmet liked.
Multiplayer games.
Putting aside the helmet, he decided to see in what is now largely
play.
And what was his surprise when it became clear that the vast
most of the major games modern, sharpened
solely on the game with other or against other
players.
Apparently, the bandwidth the modern internet
It was so cool, that began to produce igrodely
shooters with the special mode, which was named the multiplayer,
and it was very unusual and interesting.
He had heard the acronym MMO, but the could now see
firsthand what it is.
To realize the beauty and possibilities games in which thousands of characters,
interact with friend in the vast world
- It was not easy.
Voice chat.
Bob knew what the Internet is, and I know that there is a network
games, but then they were browser-based strategies,
in which you can communicate it was only a text properly.
In modern games it turned out that you can naturally
talk to other players, as well as hear
their voice.
It seemed to Vasya phenomenal, For now the games have become the most
close to reality, because to say something
other characters, as well as hear their speech - it was very promising.
Here, the transmission technology the smell in the video games, he
unfortunately I not found.
Apparently, to activate such a shtukviny, soak in the cryochamber
needed much longer.
Gamepads.
Running multiple set games, he was surprised to find,
that almost all of them sharpened management
through the gamepad.
Basilius was surprised I looked at the keyboard
and mouse.
The first was a very beautiful, I had a number of additional
keys and number keys, macros, programmable commands
and the mouse was not enough, the wireless, so in
It has not yet been inside the ball, which, in theory, should be.
So why, then, these same gamepads, if you play on
keyboard in any three-dimensional shooter, rotating
using the mouse camera - extremely user-friendly option?
Vasya did not understand this, but He promised himself - to understand.
Early access.
Going out to the Internet, our hero I decided to go in search of,
some gaming framework that surely must have existed.
Immediately on his eyes caught a program called
Par.
In this very Pare were thousands games.
Some of them seemed Interestingly, some
- very flawed, and some It caused quite a surprise.
Suddenly it turned out that Many game developers
ask for money for the unfinished product.
They naturally come with unfinished product,
and put it up for sale, promising to finish the game in
according to gamer Regards.
It called the Early Access.
Strange - thought Vasya he suggested that early
Access is when for some Merit you get the opportunity to
ready to join the game before the others.
But to imagine that people will be interested in playing
in unfinished games and developers It will not be ashamed to sell
them - he could not.
Graphics and an open world.
The next thing that surprised our frozen - photorealistic
graphics and an open world.
In most action games of today gone such a thing as
corridor locations.
Bob was very fond of shooters, but they were all corridor,
flat enemies and sprite shots.
Enemies, however, always turned to your face, so that their
plane is not particularly embarrassed, but wanted freedom.
But if the shooter or just any fighter, then
necessarily in the corridors and rooms.
However, gamers 2017, it turns out, playing games open
and huge worlds.
In addition, the worlds were so beautiful that Vasya just
breathless.
it seemed to him that before These caption, but it
it was not so, and in the most "Caption" can
to play.
Then he took off his cap system block, and saw so many
and cooling fans radiators that all at once
realized.
Mobile electronics.
When the system unit cover fell into place, Bob noticed
that lay on a nearby table two unusual items,
similar to the small, flat televisions.
In more detail it turned out that it is electronic
device with glowing displays that almost
We did not have the keys.
By chance it turned out, that they need to manage,
poking your fingers right in these same displays.
One that was smaller, It turned out to be something like a wireless
phone.
More - looked like a school board with colored shortcuts
when clicked, We run a variety of
applications, some of which were video games.
Devices can be connected together by
some kind of wireless technology, and control the game process
you can by tilting the pieces in hand.
A little digging in the settings, Bob found that their internal
filling several times more powerful than his home computer,
which is now, probably, waiting for him, pylyas somewhere
on the mezzanine.
Buying games.
Putting aside curiosities, young man again opened Steam,
and I found a huge Russian-speaking community,
who praise or scold games, and most importantly - spent
money.
Bob himself, for his life I never bought a single
games.
More precisely, I bought, of course, but to buy them in the market,
a deep pirate copies, or simply threw
computers with their friends.
Now it turned out that for the game began to pay money.
But, apparently, paid just because of the fact that
access network functions that - Bob
knew about it - will be cut off in pirated copies.
Torrents and piracy.
Well, whatever comrades are faring Pirates?
Once the Internet is so cool I rose, probably the game is now
It can be downloaded directly from the sites?
After a few minutes lasagna on the web, Bob learned
new for yourself the phrase - torrent trackers.
They were special Sites where people themselves are laid out
all they take into your head, and others, by means of special
software downloads, inlaid the pieces, which were divided
People from around the world whose computer at the moment
They were included.
It was amazing and very unusual.
And, if such exist would be in 1999, the year it was Bob
I would be absolutely happy.
However, a similar technology he could only dream of.
Such are the marvels.
Maybe Bob did not get up until from the computer, and while
it did not find the orderlies, you will be able to offer more,
something which we thawed hero could be surprised.
If you have something in mind - offer in the comments.
Well, that's it.
Play only in good games, and do not freeze
never.
Thank you all for your attention.
