295 – Playing Video Games
Achim: Check out this new game I just got!
Marcia: Let me see. Oh, it’s a fighting game. I’m not into those. I like role-playing or simulation games a lot better.
Achim: This isn’t just a fighting game. You have to use strategy for each mission. Check out these amazing graphics!
Marcia: I can’t play that at my house. I have a different console.
Achim: Yes, you can. It’s multiplatform. Look at the box. It says that you can use a joystick as your navigation system or a keyboard and mouse.
Marcia: You know, right now I’m really into retro games.
Achim: You mean last year’s games?
Marcia: No, I mean really old school games, like the ones my parents used to play.
Achim: You mean like Pac-Man and Pong?!
Marcia: Yeah, exactly. They’re classic and a lot less violent.
Achim: Yeah, but they’re so boring you fall asleep playing them. You can’t call yourself a gamer if you play those kinds of games. Give me 3-D action and some blood and gore.
Marcia: You can have it. I’ll pass.
