Summary: Slow dialog: 1:00 Explanations: 2:41 Fast dialog: 13:49 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. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
