400 Turns of Civilization V
Wes found a preview of one of the most anticipated upcoming releases by the inhabitants of my office: Civ V. It starts "This preview of Civilization V is incomplete. It takes more than nine Earth hours, you see, for the great Arabian empire — land of Mecca, Rio De Janeiro and Beijing — to assume dominance of the globe."
I dont know why you consider this absurd. Playing a game of Civ where the Indian civilisation violently conquers North American civilisations is the very definition of "alternate history". You've played Civ before, right?
You live in an alternate world, aren't you?
