Why Do Gamers Say "Cheese"?

To "cheese" a game means using a cheap, unfair, or unintended tactic to overcome a challenge. But why do gamers use the word "cheese" in the first place? In this video I trace the history of gaming's cheesiest term, from 19th century slang to arcade fighting games, early Usenet discussions, StarCraft theories, and one surprisingly angry Mortal Kombat player. Along the way we'll look at where the word came from, how it spread through gaming culture, and why players still can't agree on what counts as cheese more than thirty years later.
