My Days in the Military Part 3: First Person Shooter Games

Most Airmen, or military personnel, like to play video games. For most of the mechanics I met these video games were narrowed down to the category of First Person Shooters, or at that time, Halo. I was not a part of this group for I personally like RPG's and don't like talking to other people, but this was not the case for my fellow male coworkers.

Robin was one of the male mechanic Airmen that enjoyed First Person Shooter games. He often complained to me about the British people that he often played against (seeing as we were stationed in England I did not find it that weird). Robin was very dedicated to his game, he had the wireless remote, the headset to talk to the other players to tell them how stupid they were and cuss at them while playing; the works. In his attempt to get me into his world he had me play, and I sucked, I died almost instantly and refused to play again. I could not understand why someone would want to pretend they are in a war when we could be deployed at any moment and have to actually live it (and he eventually was).

Seeing as we were in England the forecast was it's usual overcast self. The sky decided to let loose it's bowels and it began to pour violently, with the added effects of thunder and lightning. Robin was engrossed in his game, as per usual, since we were not at work 


The following conversation will be shown from what I saw, on the screen of his television.

























Because it is difficult to read the conversation in the picture:
Brit123: Eat Lead
Robinhood343: You suck
Brit123: HA
Robinhood343: Dude, your country sucks!
Brit123: Why do you say that?
Robinhood343: Look outside
Brit123: You're in England?!
