Speaking of the devil... I found this quick, funny and entertaining exposition about game history.
My english level make that some parts of these british guys words, get away from my understanding. I want to understand it completely. Subtitles would make the definitive solution for me but they're not available anywhere like you can see.
I publish this here for two reasons:
1) To see if somebody would like to pleeeease!!, lend me a little hand with the missing pieces of the puzzle, if is not a bother of course.
= E
2) And of course, to share the videos with all of you, FF partners. ^_^
Here is what I've manage to caught 'til the moment hearing and transcribing (in case of somebody has the kindness of helping me). Didn't posted the second part because I have planned to work in it one of these days, only a few minutes ago I finished of writing all the texts below:

PS: Wouldn't be bad to put in the forum commands for videosites, spoilers and things like that.
