So the magic words and a few

Once a student asked the senior master, "Master why 1210?" Master thoughtful and carefully tysiąc dwieście by ten seconds stir, not even blink. Apparently fell into a trance in order to respond fully to the disciple, having regard to all aspects of the case. Then he said, "and why not?".

But, neither I am not a champion or not you are my disciples, so to answer accurately, leaving less of your guesswork. Number One thousand two hundred ten (of Rome will MCCX) appearing in the history of the world very often, but for obvious reasons, hiding its existence. Wikipedia reports that in 1210 years not much has actually happened, that's a few fights in Poland, the death of a Chinese and a total of so many, in a word very quiet year. But it was all a lie, you introduce confusion. Error so great that it was properly camel. Now, 1210 years have never been, people missed it, after 1209 there was once 1211 A disguise for the 2 events were taken from the end of 1209 and two from the beginning of 1211 and found that people give to acquire that it was 1210 They wanted to disguise that number because it has extraordinary power when he has the number and the appropriate determination can change the whole history of the world. There were many instances of use over the centuries.

First documented by Homer MCCX holder was King Priam of Troy who defended himself against all the armies of the Greeks for a good ten years. His first contact with her was in his youth when he traveled through Hellas.Tegan Presley He managed to meet the Dionysus, who was then still young, proud and stupid. Now Priam Dionysus challenged to a duel but that the future king ruled the weapons so well the struggle ended in a draw. Dionysus, being full of admiration impact (front and wine) has decided to reward Priam, gave him his gift from Zeus. The gift was a plaque engraved with "MCCX. Had it not Priam of old age is not so long defend Troy, but as it happens in such situations, the King said that no one will defeat and began to praise all around, as long as Troy is the plate will continue. How can you guess his most trusted officer whistled and ran it when Priam slept. Troy fell in the morning. And the story of the Trojan horse was invented later to cover up cases.

Another of those who know the power of the number in 1210 was known as Alexander III the Great of Macedonia. He won them during a march to the revolting to Thebes in 355 BC Alexander lost his way and slightly deviated from the route to hitting a "village" (actually 2 houses, one of which looked like a house, and the second as the hospital converted to temples). There, behold your son Philip the priest learned that there is something that can give him the victory and the guard before his death, that something sacred relic was kept in the local temple. On his luck was a big alcoholic priest and two agreed to give a pot of grog that artifact and use it to teach Alexander. Since then Alexander did parted with a small stone plaque engraved with its "MCCX. As long as it was, no one was able to him and his army threaten. Alexander was almost drunk with their success (or rather the success of this small plate), to the extent that when, in 333 BC in Egypt, says Alexander revealed that he is the son of Zeus, really believed that he is almost God. However, nothing lasts forever, and died in 323 BC said that perhaps because of alcohol or that he was poisoned. But this is only partly true, son of Philip najnormalniej you see in the world have lost a plate, and its power without the hundreds of kilograms of cyanide to him all times are his subordinates friendly in the hope that dies in the end worked.

PolesNicky Benz are not geese, but their fate with the number 1210 also bound. Specifically, it was John III Sobieski "Lechistanu Lion" which is being abroad in the years 1646 - 1648 accidentally stumbled around Antwerp in the middle of the road stood a cart with charioteer and killed several soldiers. Because it seemed so strange it looked in the car and found a dying soldier, holding the hands of a small plate. From him he learned the extraordinary power in 1210, dying Sobieski asked to dowiózł it to Prussia. But that did not like pruskaów Sobieski, so he decided to keep it for themselves for the future, because a knife is handy. As it turned fairly quickly found useful. At Vienna September 12 1683 Sobieski, seeing how hopeless the situation is so mobilized the Ottoman Empire fell.

Another was the youngest member in 1210 and the French general Napoleon Bonaparte, the great man. He found the magic number in 1793 and immediately brought him victory in Toulon and promotion from captain to brigadier general. Then Napoelon frequent use of its power, so it came to power and it went so well the struggle. No but how probably guessed during the Russian campaign Bonaprate found that can handle without it (he wanted to prove that, and in itself is quite good). How did it end we know (500 thousand in Moscow back 50 thousand) of Waterloo, leek and decided not to use the power dormant in 1210 which meant that suffered total defeat. However, all the time he was carrying a plate of "MCCX" which will significantly lengthen his life, because as you know on the island of St.. Helena truto him regularly, and a very large amount of poison. If the rivet is a tablet would die in a moment, and so it survived the years.

The last known human user number was Adolf Hitler in 1210. Who in 1933 became the Chancellor of the Reich was thanks to that magic number (and a large number of Mark, which means it won). Bought it from the Jew in the bazaar for 10 Mark, because he liked her oldskulowość. Then when he realized what got into his hands began to use it properly and it looked to have been Chancellor. Throughout World War II only by winning it. When in 1941 ordered the realization Operation Barbarossa (the attack on Russia) someone stole his MCCX thus condemned to defeat Adolf. Hitler was the theft of the completely mad, accusing each of its General of stealing (and Erwin Rommel [Head of Afrika Corps, one can say that the greatest general in World War II] in particular by which erected it before the election, or honorable suicide, or process in which the honor is nothing [he chose suicide]). Unfortunately, it is not known who podwędził plate 1210 or what happened to him afterwards (though considering who has been following the user can expect that it was not pleasant).

More or less in 1990, received a plaque in the filthy hands of Lucifer himself, who is zmielił and mixed it with the front cognac (robionym the worst of human souls). Alcohol is as it is in the habit of alcohol got into the clutches of the student and the student who, as drunken students are used to facilitate contacts between the properties the percentages. Fruit of the devil's brandy was born nine months later, it was a girl (know "where the devil can not send there, babe"). Currently, it is more diabolical than all the devils together, the more sadomasochistyczna and much more optimistic. Even in the Apocalypse of St.. John is the aforementioned "I opened the pit of the abyss. I rose with the smoke pit like the smoke from the blast furnace, and the sun and the air darkened with smoke from a well. (.Nikky Benz..) Ago, who sat on it's name was Death, and Hell went after him; ". So as you see it, it make come the end of the world (according to some announced on 23.12.2012 [although I'd be skeptical, so many times it was announced that I would rely more on observing that the world does not happen any strange things, and the this basis, determine the approaching end] so you have to make good use of our remaining time).

Bark

Let us be frank: I am a bit physically all failed. It is not the least of it, that I was genetically popaprany or something in the pattern, on the contrary, I have the genes from his parents, I think, very good. The problem is that DNA skręciło to me in quite niepiękną combination, if I am mentally healthy, it physically and aesthetically not demand a bit. So let's start from the fact that I have a heart defect, is enough for me to delete from the list of donors, but not the defect is serious enough that I could evade the army. I have a raise a bit too high, I can not wear sandals, I also damaged fingernails, though no one knows from what. The true emperor, however, my disability is my language, the language, so to speak, I'm in a different state of creation.

My fate was already clear two days after birth. My mother, a pediatrician, I looked carefully and firmly stated that (in addition to many other parts of the body) nature has equipped me well in the language, and in geographic tongue. This is not a tragedy: it is quite a decent tongue, but the top is a little shed. On its surface formed of different colored spots, stains, moreover, they can change their location, what makes this ailment - as in the case of Asia, my cousin - can be aesthetic and very charming. My problem, however, lies in the fact that (as it turned out later), nature has equipped me well in something artistic value can only be ridiculous to give medical terminology. My language, except that the geographic, it is also (note) mosznowym language: on the surface there are deep longitudinal furrows.

Do not get me wrong: it is not so that the tongue bothers me function normally, or that it can store pickles for lunch. In childhood I was not aware of the case, at the age of high school no one else was aware of the case studies and - like everything else strange or unusual - it became even do a useful organ. Among the friends he raises the most complete estimate of panic, even though its ugliness can also be excited, but language itself is sometimes the ultimate argument in the dispute - not after seeing everyone is able to continue the discussion.

For some odd way, I am indeed proud of my awful tongue.Cova Yana  That's olbrzymiość, horror, horror is somehow wild and original. When we break down it, rozpłaszczę front of the mirror, I have the impression that it is in me felt a barbarian, is in me ugly, gaping beast. The animals - I like to imagine - the smells, or the smell of the forest: the fight, flight, pursuit, hunger and prey. It is nimble and fierce; smell of sweat, saliva, and suet.

Therefore, to smell a little nicer, brush it thoroughly and eat gum Orbit:)

How do you call?

It's very simple. The old woman wyplatała their wicker baskets on the beach. Something like a restaurant where you can preview how the cook prepares the food. Sometimes you can not even choose a fish from the aquarium. Here, it is true wicker, it was impossible to identify, but then wicker wicker is not a way to distinguish one piece from the second to say something more about its composition, age and even coloring.

Entirely different thing to be with people. As I walked near the shoreline, so pathetically normal, like everyone except the representatives of our species who have come to the seaside, where our clothes were lifted trivial gusts, it seemed to me suddenly, weaving baskets is very necessary act. It was good to go every night next to this place and know that the old lady will be there, that her tired fingers will once again traverse the air is still the same way. Just like we udeptaną path, the path rutynowanych Bathers. I wonder now, if only to her, this routine referring to.

How do you call?

This is, after all there were thousands of names. Every day, new and with each successive step. In the morning you started a new weave. And although I did not have a gram or wicker, I was doing pretty nicely. In the morning you had a child growth and aparycję when wskakiwałaś laughing on the table and legs machałaś waiting for scrambled eggs. Usually it przypalałem, but then we said to myself that probably only a sweeps eat. Strength habits. And so we passed this morning, turning the morning when you nachodziła desire for a serious conversation. Serious conversation in your release arrested at the earliest ten years ahead, with the youngest child had already then go to school. Serious conversation in my release expected that selects the appropriate tie me to a new suit, which IAdrianna Sage put tonight. But before this happens, there comes the afternoon, when you're a little nervous my helplessness in making promises and promises that you have enough change for me and fit their strict set of rules. The moment will be made on fatigue and come nightfall, you could tell yourself that you have done a further step towards educating me on an exemplary husband and father, that your efforts are not in vain, and once resulting in a beautiful, which is extremely important for our position and for your friends, which would have envied. I do not know where all this will I do, but I hope it will be for me at least a low stool in the kitchen, which, in silence przysłucham to your conversations and I know what I should be.

How do you call?

- Understanding.

Inquisition


Time passes, the next spring in the neck, although not so again I am old, but nice (?) Two decades stukną me soon. For several years does not change my belief, so there was probably time to share a few thoughts.

Moving on to things cucumber season has already begun on the first article about the dangers of games have already stumbled, music 'hard' and starts to tear. I read and read, watch these topics in the news and everywhere the same - I will not elaborate, Bre Olsenbecause everyone knows what's going on - the lack of knowledge of the subject and the relevant arguments, 'tis a true crusade as those from the Middle Ages: "Our religion is correct, So you have the right to bump the stock. "

Of course, psychologists and advocates of the Catholic faith are shoulder to shoulder like a medieval Crusaders to battle with this vile, pagan plague. Both groups "worry" about child psychology and morality of society. Why not right? Another rhetorical question, not that going. I only wonder why one side of this "alliance" is not interested in a second.

Just a little look in the expired messages, and it turns out that we live in a country where the Roman Catholic church would not give up power. Somehow I do not see the constitutional equality of religions and the separation of religion from state power, when Catholics constitute only MOST OF ALL want to make the proceedings so and not otherwise, and the pastor of my parish during a sermon suggests, for whom to vote. The director's father, I will not write, is another example - abortion - a problem which according to me does not exist. Is a practicing Catholic who has never done, and let the atheist is doing what he wants.

Religious fanaticism, in itself, is not dead and I'm not talking here about Islamic extremists, and therefore all men politicians and psychologists propose to address the problem of social manipulation and fanaticism - problems that are caused by bad clergy understands his vocation. Times of the Inquisition come to an end - perhaps the time aware of those who still do not know this and stop a few mindless crusades.

Title: Girl with a Pearl Earring
Original title: Girl With a Pearl Earring
Year: 2003
Director: Peter Webber
Writers: Tracy Chevalier, Olivia Hetreed
Photo: Eduardo Serra
Starring: Colin Firth, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Wilkinson, Judy Parfitt, Cillian Murphy, Essie Davis
Duration: 95 minutes

Let us begin with Mary thins. When we ask her about a sentence in-law of Jan Vermeer tells us this: "It is all painted for the money. These images, they do not mean anything. "Yes, we hear, but you will thins itself seemed aware of the falsity of the phrase, not because of" Girlfriend in a pearl ", a film by Peter Webber, the sentences less true. There is no greater mistake than to look at a picture or video from the perspective of their sales. What really counts is the aesthetics and beauty spots pixel.

Screen adaptation of Tracy Chevalier's novel is quite a free variation on the creation of one of Europe's most famous paintings - "Girls in the pearl earring" the Dutch painter Jan Vermeer. To this day, it is not clear who portrayed dutch master detail, talking about Mary, daughter of the artist, but this theory does not explain, except the subtle eroticism of the work. Sensuality of the image suggests a deeper and more intimate relationship, this canvas and must stimulate the imagination. For Tracy Chevalier and Peter Webber's story is the story of a picture of a collision of two worlds: the world is sensitive to the art of servant Griet (Scarlett Johansson) forbidding reality of the rich bourgeoisie. Serving at home thins Maria (Judy Parfitt) and her daughter Catherine (Essie Davis), Griet, working hard for their living, is also an opportunity to explore the world of art, the guide is Jan Vermeer (Colin Firth). Its unique relationship with the painter from Delft will not remain unnoticed, the feeling that arises between them, and the deeper it is, that their special relationship from the beginning, is devoid of chance of survival.

But let not fear those who fear cheap, romansidła Hollywood, everything in this film is more subdued and quiet, devoid of pomp California. Griet is faced with a difficult choice: it offers the quiet life of Pieter (Cillian Murphy), a guardianship of the local butcher's son - the other hand, it tempts the absurd prospect of an affair with a married John. It is a deeper dilemma: torn between a calm, familiar from generations of merchant life - and romance with the art. Romance (for women and for serving) sentenced to up to a sad finale, however tempting dissimilarity and hope for a deeper life.

All this, however, the whole multitude of feelings and tragic situation, takes place somewhere in the depths beneath the surface of everyday events. Everything is subtle, full of allusions and allegory small. It is no coincidence: in this lies the spirit of Vermeer paintings.Jenna Hazel There is no place for them to violent movements and gestures, such behavior would be obscene and unsightly, so they are hidden under the plane scenes, the usual. Among these spots, however, tangle strong emotions, you can feel the layer of dye. Assimilate all this imagery and film to become a moving follow-up of static images. This unity with the spirit of Vermeer, the congestion atmosphere of his works - this is the film's greatest virtue.

This consistency is also evident in attention to detail. Scene painter in the house is lighted from the left side because it illuminated its Dutch paintings. At home, find an artist known for his articles canvases, also impresses with the beauty, aesthetics and the appropriateness of the design. They are real, but also prettier and more well-kept. It's only small ornament, visible in the pictures, but we know that this world is unreal calm, and even false, when compare it with the bustle and dirt of the street. This also explains the desire for Griet; smoothed world becomes a painter for her arkadyjskich features, though we know from the outset that this is just an illusion.

We live in a totalitarian cinema: the film has to admire the sound, image, dialogue and plot. "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is not such a piece: a continuation of the image, which focuses on the visual layer. Dialogues are few and most of the film takes place in silence, the one and only theme music is the background for the scroll by scenes from the life of the city. The film then leaves us alone with a clean image, is a return to roots and the nature of the arts. When you deprive of us of sound, dialogue, all this excrescence, is we are alone with the very essence of what the movie: an ordered collection of paintings. In the film, Webber enjoyed these pictures on the most fundamental and original way: your charming delight, sober beauty. And that is why we watch this movie: I have the impression that it was able to conclude najpierwszą art, basic and output, but who knows if this is not primordial or her heart. Show the beauty - is a value in itself.

We had bad luck, it just evolved on Earth. Maybe if we have received from the fate of a chance to evolve on Saturn, mankind would have become a race of slaves at the beginning of the thirty-second century. Power and opportunities are within reach of our fingertips. Well, maybe not in stock, but some good rocket engines.

Saturn is a planet, the mother of the Solar System. Energy of this planet's jealousy again sun and protects the planet from all the other inorganic, space garbage. Saturn is in the air - just like on other planets of star systems of countless mothers - there are alpha particles, which can make any body nadorganizm. Our misfortune that we have learned about only at the beginning of the third millennium, when it was already too late.

 

Metal bar embedded in the ground began to vibrate without warning. As the buzz grew, the rod shook harder and harder, as if some powerful force tugging him in all the worlds. After a while, this little piece of countryside flew from the ground, and right behind him soared other road signs, brick, concrete and steel elements of the environment. Over the next few seconds all that scrap metal was taken to the upper layers of the atmosphere Devil Tomei, where he has undergone disintegration.

Someone had to prepare the ground for the already-planned construction of a modern entertainment center - the energy impulses to stimulate the most pleasant parts of our nervous system, travel in virtual reality, to participate in the latest productions hologram, bowling. It's all very celebrated Fontana, whose owners gave only one free night per week.

After several minutes the vehicle stopped. A fair maid turned and confronted the construction site plans with the land, who had just uprzątnęła. Pofrunęło a few more garbage into the air through the invisible power of the mind.

She hated the job.

She loved this work.

Every moment on the air, where the lungs can inhale the entire Alpha particles was nothing long sleep after a hard day. Cute Puppy Name Felt then, as if was in the center of sea, sky, meadow, paradise, rainbow, and the same time. Her long, plaited brown hair in a braid radiating, thin face lit up in a smile, and green eyes could see the depth of the ocean. The former ruler of the world. In fact, could happen if no collar, limiting its freedom of thought. Every time you thought about any other piece of the galaxy than the planet on which it stood, gave the collar itself felt. And it's quite painful.

The woman started our way back to the Job Center. Greeted her on the spot offer black work, the sight of which got vomiting. Weaned vehicle to a hangar and went to the house for slaves. When passed through a built-in gate energy neutraliser as ever fell again enveloped her sick and for a moment lost visual acuity. When the power came back she got up and went to ruin the canteen.

- Scientist, hell bent - to the cursed mug filled with beer. - At least we have a free beer.

- Do not complain - it suddenly came to a baritone voice. - Imagine what kind of lives they had people who have come here before their body has adapted to sześćdziesięciogodzinnej day.

Ratańczyk sat next to Fontana, or so it seemed. Head ended a long tail, four short stumps protruding from the head and two and a half times greater than human-like arms mounted on the human body. Thought that this was one of the races in space, which most resembled the man seized her sick again. I still could not get used to the alien, where the organisms are not able to make sounds in a logical whole. Had a mouth and throat, but their construction differed from, Even though, human. Instead, such breeds as ratańska literally umieszczały own thoughts on specific brain speaker chambers. Bloody evolution.

- Dawnoś got here?

- Caught me three days ago - in the echo reflecting on its skull could be heard for the unique serenity of this place. Cause good moods are explained after the time when the slave continued. - Do not you think it's a little ironic that the Labor Center has changed over the years in the house for the slaves? - In a moment a man burst out laughing, though he told the best joke in the galaxy.

The woman glanced at him with boredom, as some stłumiło his joy. Slaves quickly lose their senses, but usually only after the first week.

- If you're counting on anything from me, Ratańczyku, you may as well put their tentacles into the bucket with cold water. - At these words the stranger frowned. - My owners keep me clean. - No longer remember how many times was an object of fantasy of the local workforce. But the owners have full authority. Unfortunately for the horny slaves. Unfortunately for her.

- Please - started in horror alien - do not be angry, but I - he hesitated - his wife. - Before the sentence as a whole went to the awareness of women, the stranger again got an attack of laughter.

There were few races, where representatives conclude long-term relationship between two of its subjects. In practice the People probably also will change over the next few hundred years. Galaktykizacji process was inevitable.

- Looking for a partner to help me drift away - he went with dignity. - I think you can help me. - Spauzował for a moment. - I came here by accident - threw himself with this thought with a strange sense of desperation.

Fontana is now burst out laughing.

- And where is patched? On the moon? - Devil Tomei has lost all its moons for many years during the war, therefore, ironic pronunciation of the questions was the most accurate. The fact is that although they were slaves on the planet, To help Animals and his mother during labor can be worn all the favors, it is to save the prisoner was not to be counted. Starting from the absence of a spacecraft by the guards, collars, and the hotel closed for the night ending.

- Maybe the moon, or maybe not. I have the intention to take my wife to Tablocę - replied with feigned pride.

- Tabloca? - When the collar gave itself felt grimaced and rasped, trying to catch air. - It is, after all millions paratonów stellar here. There is not even a space ship, which arrived there to. And you said you would brzmisz seriously.

- How do most - zająknął mentally - seriously, although I do not know that word. You heard that Tablocy built a floor? Literally - first floor. Can you believe? Did floor for the entire planet. Can you imagine that?! I gotta see this!

At this time, excitement Ratańczyka rate was the zenith, as well as podirytowanie Fontana. She got up from the bar and went out without a word, digging on the occasion of a microscopic alien, who found himself at the wrong time just before it boots.

- I Armel! - Think alien exploded in her head. - Tomorrow is blowing, not zaśpij!

Prychnęła woman nervously. What a pity that the motion sensors, opened all the doors on this damned planet. She wanted something flick with anger. Instead, it came to pass-entry.

Fontana, stood in front of a piece of wall, which stood out a bit different, białawo, silver, transparent color. In addition, the surface of the rectangle slightly falowała recalling propagated after a pane of water districts. Nacisnęła slave to cyferblacie number 48, then tapped the confirmation code. Surface before it suddenly heaved and took her inside the model room. Fontana came straight into the wall.

Was in his cubicle slave.

 

Usually in the morning, just after the opening of the eyes, we see the first rays of the sun, the sky painted stratusami, or a lover who brought breakfast in bed. Fontana woke up stinking drop of saliva, which skapnęła with suspended over her face stretched in a smile Armel. Face, which, in the same second burst right hooks.

- ALC! - Ratańczyk groaned when collected from the floor. - In my world, it's not a reason to attack - he added with irony. - Zaspałaś, I should shoot you.

- Jakes got here, the bright hell? - Do not be surprised wonder woman. Slaves had no contact with each other, except for joint evenings in the canteen. No one knows the access codes to the rooms of other companions in misfortune. At this time, reached to her that a stranger was no ordinary Ratańczykiem.

- Quiet now, quiet. - Words Armel it appeared before his eyes when he sat on the floor. - I came, as I announced. Blows.

Fontana, looked at him like an alien. Well, once such a sentence would make sense.

- You are crazy.

- That I'm different does not mean that I am crazy - announced zaszczycając Fontana did not even look. - You better sit down, I know that some of your species have a very weak heart.

Stranger took from his pocket, two multi-colored stones and spread them on the floor just feet from each other. In one moment it seemed that the man reached the fingers of both hands to the stones, and the next one has already pulled out two pieces of skrzącego, which can not be catch sight of the cord. Armel stood up, still spreading in the air by two vertical lines. At the height of two meters, both dropped the end, which not only fell, but rozjarzyły the white light.

- What the lightning ...

Odcinakami space between the two "rope" was filled with white light. At least, she thought, because you never thought that something could be so white, but the ideas of Heaven Bedtime stories, which she remembered from childhood.

- This is a portal - he definitely Ratańczyk. - Our way of escape. Does not lead either to Tablocę, or to any moon. - He made a sour face now. - Yesterday I had a little skip in the truth. Too much unauthorized ears and other receptors speech alone understand.

Latest at Fontana was able to do now is to understand. Understand anything of what happened here.

- Portal? What are you bredzisz? So you can not bend over to make a hole to another place, it is elementary knowledge. - Slave in the meantime, she sat on the bed, and a mixture of fear and curiosity, she looked alternately at the spot of light and Armel.

- Whether to give or not give. It is important that it works. You need to decide whether you become a slave to the end of his life, drawing only joy of those moments where you are contacting the alpha particles, whether you go with me - freedom.

The decision was trivial.Imiona świętych Every single body in the world is born with the desire to be free. Of course, this choice, and so had no sense, because Fontana still do not believe that any of this was true.

- It's a game? Wybrałabym freedom, that's clear. - At this moment in her mind shone yellow, warm light, which drove her to a strange feeling of euphoria.

- No such clear, as you might think - "said a stranger.

- And where would we like to go? Owners think over all, the heavy thunder!. They had thousands of years. I want to run away, like everyone, but there is a place where we could go.

The man was no longer certain that he chose the right person.

- It's true, there is no place ... - Hang on a moment of thought. - Not in this universe.

He then calmly stepped in the spot light and disappeared.

History of video games


I must admit. I was scared before I wrote this text. Well because in the end, the fifteen can write anything about the history of computer games, when he goes back to memory only the first part of GTA? But still. I tried. Did I succeed, they assess openly. I invite you ...

Have you ever wondered what it really meant by "game"? Well, this man is niezajmujący probably wyjaśniłby after his "simple, interactive application, built on some graphics engine. He is right, but for us, players of lesser or greater length of this "simple application" is not just a patchwork of texture, sound okraszonych. It is something more ... Games allow us to break away from reality and go to the "second world," limited only to our imaginations ... Somewhat better, because free from problems and worries that plague us constantly in our real life. Various types, so that everyone can find something for everyone. We must now ask ourselves: What decided the game's success and why but they are also bitter enemies? And perhaps most interesting: What was the beginning? Answers to these and other nagging questions you will find in the reading of this text. The truth is there ... Enjoy ...

A.D. 1947

Ludziska! I say unto you, let everyone remember who called himself played this date! Why, you ask? Well, in that year was probably the first "game"! Yes! Do not confuse you eyes! Over sixty years ago! I am not sure whether they would know of its existence, even the parents of your parents ... :)  Created her Thomas Goldsmith and Estle Ray Mann. Fajne Tapety .It was a simulated missile strike on any target. Developers do not even realize that his proposal moved the stone from the top of an even greater advance. Since monentu for us players began a new era ... era of computer games ...

The next title does not have to wait too long, because already in 1952 a professor at Cambridge University - AS Douglas created OXO, interactive version of the popular game "notebook" or "tic tac toe." It had to justify the thesis of Douglas for human-computer interaction.

Oh, and one (that was not the prints here:]). In nietórych circles, the first game it is Tennis for Two, William Hinginbothama. It arose quite late - eleven jat the missile simulator. The purpose of the game I will not explain, the title tells all ... However, I will try to unravel the problem of those who believe that the size of today's controllers are "large". Well, to play himself in the TFT, needed a joystick (actually two), with a size roughly half of today's small computer box (!). Thus, it was not too handy controller. :) TFT has been shown for one more year, then was dismantled.

The following examples of games were not to raise any gains, they were treated as projects ONLY. The situation changed dramatically, however, already in the sixties ... Details? Read on ...

Crazy 60's!

Most of the amateur game, was only created in the universities, because the computer at home, not everyone was on the stand and held the whole room. It is therefore quite weak access to the hardware limit "production" for one game for a few years. A small breakthrough occurred in 1961 when a small group of enthusiastic students from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology - one of the most prestigious technical universities in the world), has created a game called Spacewar! - A simple shooting for two people, taking place in the cosmic reality. The person who played had a spaceship, which was designed to shoot down the enemy. But the producers that it was not too easy, put the gravity field in the middle of the board. Thanks to Spacewar! was very grywalnym title and became the first play of the public that profitable (and it is considerable).

Five years later, a man called Ralph Baer enrolled in the annals of computer games, with its patent for playing games on regular TV. At the beginning it was one of the title, named Chase, moreover, created by him. But over time (read: two years later) Baer had been patent for more than a dozen service games. Soon the author and his ideas became interested in the company Magnavox, which it bought from him a prototype and in 1972 released the first video game console. I think that this is what we have entered the third decade of the history of computer games. How To Windows 7 Well, it gets more interesting ...

70's and the famous "INSERT COIN"

The seventies started so. "Game of the machines." At the beginning of the players came up to quite skeptical of this novelty, since in 1971 was barely one type of these razors. It included the game Spacewar! the sixties, called Computer Space. As the control version of the premiere has a big change and it was extremely uncomfortable, the idea is not sold. The creators of the first "machine to play for coppers" were Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. About that first it is worth mentioning if only because in 1972 he founded his own company, the aptly named ... Atari, which works dynamically as we know today). The first game released by these studios was Pong ( "simulation" of table tennis) in the automatic version, which was a great success. Sold around 19 000 machines with Pongiem. This event started a frenzy on the machines. Began to build gaming establishments, often temporary (in the cellars of houses, and even in your own room!). However, the small number of titles still gave itself felt (you can not continually play Pong for a few years ...).

After the success of Atari, the young developers began to take an example from Bushnell. So four years later, in 1976, the company's unprecedented Exidy sailed title called Death Race. This was the first title of causing controversy about violence in video games. Why? Well, its main purpose was "confident" control cars, so that as much as possible "ludków (like pedestrians) wpadało under our wheels. But the game was accepted and placed on the sale (including slot machines, of course).

However, the best was yet to come. In the late seventies, the Japanese studio, Taito released Space Invaders game, which proved to be great (with a capital "w") hit. Since this event began in earnest "Golden Age" games automatowych lasting until the late nineties of the twentieth century! We come back to this period, but in its time ...

Atari, however, did not give up and their next title (just released, the creators were Namco) outclassed all rivals ... Wondering about what game is it? Nothing simpler. Those days was a hit ... Pac-Man! Yes! This simple arcade'ówka consists in directing a smiley, consuming everything it encounters, while avoiding the evil fairy, has become the bestseller of all time! How is it possible that this ... hmmm ... though it now be called ... trivial (?) game beat all sales records? The answer is only one: Pac-Man owes its success to the simplicity of implementation, and thus - great gameplay, which has survived to this day. In the few years since release the game became so popular that every person who, though little has been interested in games, he knew what was going on. Note, we are approaching with great strides to the eighties ... We are going on!

Najntin ejtis!

The money earned through gaming machines, have allowed the most influential companies to grow, and thus also to recruit new, talented developers. In the eighties, the industry "growy" has become more powerful than ever. How the earth began to exit from various publishing companies, some of them have survived to this day (an excellent example of this is at least Electronics Arts). Started to appear in a new home computers, has already engaged the entire room, or the Commodore, and ZX Spectrum. So time to go to the examples of games ... Already in 1980 appeared in the titles containing the bold moves in the fields of graphics and gameplay itself. The first of these was the Defender - a simple space shooter, actually no different from its predecessors. With one exception. Well, this was the first title, which as one of the interface elements have a radar showing the whole of the game to date. In those days, it really made an impression ... But that's nothing ...

Still in the same year, Atari has issued another hit with disguised as 3D vector graphics (image was saved using geometric figures), virtually inaccessible to other manufacturers. It was Battlezone - a simple simulator tank commander. Purpose? Rout the enemy. On the winding and bumpy road to full trójwymiaru in games, and put signs Pole Position - ścigałka also developed by Atari. First used in the so-called. sprites (two-dimensional images, which, after przesunięcu and przeskalowaniu, were transferred to the screen). This gave the impression of a 3D, but everything began to tend toward the good. But talk about this later.

By the end of the eighties created a lot of games (the most interesting mention Maze War, Elite, King's Quest), but not so significant as to "deserve" to a greater place in the text. So I invite you to (in my opinion) the most interesting decade in the history of the game, or ...

Shareware, Intel 486, CD-ROMs - the nineties!

Video game industry continues to grow in strength, so producers began to slowly peel strategies for maximum profitability and reduce risk in the event of a possible lower sales. The world has begun to appear on various news, not only games, but new technologies that are developed in those years is mercilessly quick. The first and probably the most important news was the introduction for sale (pioruńsko if expensive) CD-ROM discs and readers to them. From that moment came the quantum leap in game production. Developers' zachłystnęli the "capacity and capabilities of a small CD'ka. In order to fill the entire plate, "stuffing" him a lot długaśnych film sequences. The new productions are watching more than playing! At that time, has grown considerably Adventure game genre - that adventure. All were created on that principle, and away they went to oldschoolu ... :) This meant that on this: the player was available for a small interface, occupying about 1 / 4 the entire screen. The rest of the occupied area of the ... movie sequences precisely. Playing was not too great "dominion" over the course of action, but only chose the correct answer among several alternatives i. .. ended the game in one evening, having as a dozen clicks and swollen eyes. Examples of games that have benefited from this technology have been here include The 7th Guest (worth mentioning that it was one of the first games on CD), follow-up - The 11th Hour - a more extensive, located on four discs (released in 1995!), SWAT (to this day I wonder how on earth can move the action game was for such a conversion ...) and many other clones of prototypes, but no longer can carry a lot of news to the same species.

The next major event was the premiere of the game, entitled ... Note ... Quake! If anyone deemed to be a player, it is a sin not to know about this game. Absolute classic FPS genre. Question why I remember about him? Well, Quake was the first game, which had a fully three-dimensional environment! No sprites, no illusion - the true 3D. But unfortunately for the appearance of the pay, it is not missed anyone who wanted to see the game in all its glory. " Quake had HORENDALNE hardware requirements for those times, including besides the graphics card was still a need 3D accelerator ... And when all this is compared with contemporary hardware prices ... the hair stood on end on the head.

Creators Quake (id Software) first came to the serious issue of multiplayer (multiplayer). Refined it almost to perfection - complete freedom of movement and excellent dynamic gameplay, Quake'owi prolonged "life" of kliknaście years ahead (what you see today). So it was worthwhile to risk and to introduce new technology, zaowocującą in the future.

It is worth mentioning that at that time created a few "pearls", still have fans around the world. About the titles mean?Tetris Game Already mention: Age of Empires - a great strategy in real time (two continuations), Thief - "simulation" thief living in the Middle Ages (also two continuations), Heroes of Might & Magic - Turn-based strategy in a fantasy world (FOUR sequels), and much, many others.

An interesting thing was also made available by the authors of the source code of their own games, so players could take matters into their own hands, creating the so-called. fashion. These are simple or more advanced modifications, usually in the graphics engine, more rarely in the same game. From then on began to create all sorts of costumes and weapons for their "pupilków, living on hard drives. However, people more understanding of a topic, they began to look deeper and deeper ... the source code. Thus arose hacks, or various "help" to the game, giving such immortality. While the singleplayer game, to use the hacks could afford to play a multiplayer game already in such a stroke was (and still is) unacceptable. To put it briefly - a simple deception. On most servers, therefore, began to emerge antycheatowe security and anti-hacks. This meant that more or less, that if the game included a person with some "easier" is not a long pograła ... :) Of course, the beginning of its activities, these applications often untested protect up too much, because sometimes "clean" players were immediately disconnect from the server. Now, too, it happens, but it is very rare. Well enough przynudzania, we return to our time!

DirectX 10 and next-gen - Present!

After (or just until ...) two thousand words, we are finally to the present, in which the industry "growy" is well developed and highly influential. Who would have thought ...

Occasionally I will begin now on the novelties of the department firmware. Now the most interesting and most controversial was the release of ... The newest version of Windows, or Vista. Why controversial? Because together with another installment of the system on the horizon appeared a set of libraries needed to uruchmiania game, called DirectX 10, dead in an older version of Windows, or XP. It was obviously another way to Gates and company for another considerable Sumki stealing from outraged players. Time to go to the sales statistics, which are ... hmm ... look the same. On the first day of sale, barely exceeded the number of copies ... 300 pieces! Not 3000, not 30000, and from 300 It's quite ridiculous number. Those who bought, also were not happy, because Vista is more in case of emergency, and besides a new, more dopieszczonego interface, not rise to the heels XP. Dear God punished for publishing such a strategy ...

Another news release was to sell dual-core processors and graphics cards is compatible with DirectX 10 Performance veritable monsters, but prądożerne. Here the prime ministers of those born in the quality of the new generation of computer games ... One of the first titles to fully benefit from the "benefits" DX 10, was Crysis from Crytek. Beautiful graphics, advanced AI, and the minimum requirements ... Began to compare with the first Crysis Quake'iem, precisely because of the qualitative leap forward, and this unfortunate, the minimum configuration komuterów. But if someone was wealthy and could properly afford to kompa, where he would see Crysis in all its glory, did not fail to .*

Finally, write a very trivial formula, but the match here like a glove. So ... Sixty years after the release of the first "game" computer technology (the console) has evolved so much that the graphics in games is almost fotorealistycza (and started from the coarse 2D ...), highly developed artificial intelligence, ht not to mention gameplay. But for many players, especially the more "seniority" and age:) probably tear in the eye rotates when odpalają Pac-Man, or the River Raid. Oh, the years of youth ... Well, and what was at that time for us-cztenasto, piętnastolatków, born between Quake and now playing in a variety of super-titles, crunching computing power of our PCs? Sex FacebookIn my opinion, the answer is one: anyone who considers himself a player should know the history of the game, "from the cradle," because if it was not a small group of people who make up the first game, there would be no Need for Speed, Bioshock, and even more to this article. So I silently hope that after reading all of this text, it will be so much news, so in the future does not shine before the eyes of their children, "They'll ask you a question:" And how did it all begin? ".
