A young game developer is killed before his time, and stands before Saint Peter.
"Because you died so young, we cannot properly judge you on your sins and virtues. Therefore, you will be allowed to choose between going to Heaven or Hell."
Before the developer can express his dismay, St. Peter sweeps his arm and says "Behold! A vision of Heaven!" The developer sees endless row upon row of old people sitting at tables contentedly playing Bingo, easy listening music playing in the background, happily chatting, drinking fruit punch and eating sugar cookies.
Then St. Peter says, "And now, a vision of Hell!" The developer sees a grand bacchanal, the dammed engaged in a mass orgy, ecstatically drinking whisky and stout, eating from huge platters of meat, smoking weed, snorting cocaine, while the finest rock, R&B, and pop musicians from ages past perform for the crowd. Seemingly any carnal pleasure to be had is available at the sinner's whim.
"Well, what shall it be?", asks Peter.
The dev sighs and shrugs, "Well, if those are my choices, I'll have to choose Hell!"
As soon as the words leave the dev's lips, the ground opens beneath his feet and he plunges into a lake of fire. As his skin burns off demons set upon him and begin to violate him in all manner thinkable and unthinkable.
The hole begins to close and the dev screams back to St. Peter "Wait!! What is this? What happened to the big party!?"
Peter shrugs. "Well, what did you expect to see in Hell's demo?"
