You're not listening to power English
Thursday, did you know
Hello hello hello once again and welcome back to power English March 6th Thursday and you're here with Sid and Steve and we're already well into March well into 2008 I can't believe
how fast time goes and today is did you know day today we are gonna be talking about computers
very difficult subject for me to discuss cause I don't know too much about them so let me ask you to start up the show today
Am are you an online gamer? Do you like to play games online?
Am I'd like to but I don't have time much these days I used to play quite a lot actually
What were your games of choice?
My games of choice let me see well this is long time ago what I used to play warcraft 2 a lot
and then when startcraft came out ah might play that little bit that's when I started getting
really busy so I stopped playing
am maybe a mistake cause I could be a startcraft pro. Some of my friends are actually pros and
they make a pretty good living though you know
If you're good, you make a lot money
Yeah and thesedays a play am these what I call massively, massively multi type player online games or something like that. More they have is giant world online and people login and become a character and they play in that world so you know it's a little bit different than before the online games before like starcraft warcraft you would play aginst another player for one match and I'll be it or several players one match but in these are it is new onlines you know like thousands millions of people logon at the same time and inact each other pretty cool.
I used to play Diablo. Do you remember that game? And I remember it was my first year in Korea
and I didn't have computer in my house so I always go to the PC room and used the exact same computer because that where my file was saved for the game and I remember I got up to like level 18 19 which is not that high in the game however still talk a lot of time to get that far and the employee of the PC room had raised my file I don't know so I gave that up and then I started to play chess on line just for fun and a when you play chess online for fun they have different rooms and different levels right?
So I would go in the beginner room because I was a beginner of chess but the advanced player would go in the beginner room so they beat me in like for moves and make fun of me so I quit that as well
You hope that they were coming into the room right ?
This is true maybe they were really good beginners. I was just that bad
Well you know that's way these online games these days all of everything stored online on the server. So you don't have to have you can play on any computer anywhere in the world and log in to you character and plays as much as you want so I mean I played for little bit cause friend of mine played and showed it to me it's pretty intents I mean I can imagine how people get lost and sit down and play all day and all night very addicting very dangerous too anyway today we're gonna talk about computers again and we're gonna talk about the how to correctly reformat your hard drive so let's go ahead and listen to the dialog
