A: Mark. Where have you been? I’ve been calling you all morning.
B: I’ve been playing computer games.
A: What? So you blew me off yesterday and today over a stupid video game? What game is so important that you have no time for me anymore? What are you playing?
B: It’s called Counter Strike. It’s a first person shooter game. It’s awesome. It’s a multi player game where you can go online and compete against players from all over the world.
A: You’ve been wasting your time on this? I can’t believe it! It doesn’t even look fun or challenging!
B: My laptop is on my bed. If you think it’s so easy then get on line and try to beat me.
A: Fine!
B:Damm it! How are you killing me with a single shot? It’s not fair! I don’t want to play anymore! Let’s go get something to eat.
A: Can you bring me something? I am totally hooked on this game!
