M: Rory, do you know? Why cats? Cats are so good at video games?
R: Oh, God. Why?
M: Because they have nine lives.
R: I feel like I've just lost one of my lives.
M: So Rory, what do you call this thing?
R: It's a controller. Specifically, it's like a two-handed controller I guess. Some controllers require two hands and some require just one. I think the Xbox needs two hands and the things like the Wii or the Switch just need one hand. A one-hand controller, a two-hand controller.
M: Yeah. So, dear listener, if you are a gamer. A gamer is a person who is into gaming. Games. So you can talk about different gaming equipment. Like this is a controller. We also have gaming mice, headphones, you know, or a headset, you know, specifically designed to play games. Or you can have a gaming keyboard, you know, like a special gaming keyboard. Or if you're into racing, you can have, wait, wait, vehicle control system with, you know, like a simulator, full-size steering wheel, control panel and even paddles, dear listener. It's just amazing.
R: That seems like a lot of work to put into a kind of hobby that's supposed to be just casual.
M: Yeah, but like, if you play tennis, for example, you have all this tennis gear, like a uniform, like freaking three rackets. You go to some space, like the same with gaming I think. If you're into gaming, you have the whole room full of gaming equipment, not just only this. You know? Rory, you told us that you play games on the computer. So on the computer, right?
R: Yeah, you play games on a computer or on the console, or you watch them on the TV or on a screen.
M: Or you can say that I don't have any time to play around. So play around is when you're kind of like crazy. Yeah? So I don't have time to play around. So I don't play video games. I'm not into gaming or I'm a gamer. Yeah? I'm crazy about video games. You can also play video games on your mobile phone, Rory. Did you know that? Like mobile versions of lots of games are there.
R: I know that you can. Yeah, I play chess on my phone as well. I just realized there.
M: Yeah. And did you know that mobile games have generated more profit than games on the computer?
R: Well, that doesn't surprise me because lots of people have phones. But not many people have, well, the money for computers or different consoles, do they?
M: So what do I say? Like, I usually play games on my phone. On my computer, on my phone.
R: Yeah. Well, if it's most people, then we would say they play them on their phones.
M: You can say like, well, sometimes I play video games to relax and unwind from my hectic life. Hectic - crazy. Unwind - to relax. So play games to unwind from the stress and hectic life. Oh, Rory is into strategy games, or what did you call them?
