Video Games Day
“Life is a video game. No matter how good you get, you are always zapped in the end."
Gamer tartan alert! With AI driven platforms, graphics that are nearly indistiguishable from the real thing, open-world design, incredible gameplay mechanics, and immersive experiences, gaming has come a long way since the table-tennis game of "Pong" appeared in 1972. This 2016 tartan was created to honour the fourth anniversary of the founding of Clan Sverker, a gaming community that has long interwoven Celtic and Scandinavian history into its organisation. Clan Sverker is a World of Warcraft gaming guild focused on teamwork and camaraderie. They welcome players of all experience levels who are interested in participating in both casual and more challenging in-game activities. The name and logo of Clan Sverker are inspired by Scandinavian and Viking history. "Sverker" references a Swedish royal dynasty, specifically King Sverker I, who ruled in the 12th century. This evokes a sense of warrior culture, leadership, and strength, aligning with the clan's focus on teamwork and collaboration. The logo typically features Nordic or Viking imagery, such as shields, axes, or runes, reflecting their connection to Scandinavian heritage and warrior traditions. 💙 🤍 💛 🐻❄️ ⚔️ 🎮 ⚡ ⚡ ⚡
October 18th, 1958 marks the debut of what is considered by many to be the first video games, "Tennis for Two" which simulated a game of tennis, using a Donner Model 30 analog computer and an oscilloscope for a display. American physicist William Higinbotham designed the game for display at the Brookhaven National Laboratory's annual public exhibition. This game was resurrected in 1972 by Atari as "Pong."
Clan Sverker is an MMO community that is accepting new members. According to their website:
"We're a community of bearded, beer drinking, laid back gamers who stick to the older ways of doing things ... and offer our members a laid back, mature and stable atmosphere to play in."
Through dedication and hard work, (pending position openings) a member of Clan Sverker can work their way up to higher, more leadership focused roles within the clan, which includes the following: Initiate, Member, Longbear, Hirthmathr, Lawspeaker, and Mormaer.
