Strange Conversations: Part Sixty-One

Posted 7 November 2008 in by Catriona

Five minutes after Nick walks in the door:

ME: I haven’t updated the blog today.
NICK: You’ve been busy.
ME: It’s been mark, mark, mark, mark.
NICK: That’s okay—soon you’ll be able to update with a brief, informative history of Fallout 3 and how your partner’s completely disappeared to play it.
ME: Right.
NICK: It will be very interesting. You’ll be able to talk about the pit boy. [Which, Nick tells me, I should have heard as PIPBOY.] And the vault system. And the power armour. And the fact that when you get a big plasma gun, you shoot people with it and they melt and go (sound effect).
ME: You shoot people with a plasma gun and they melt and go (sound effect)?
NICK: Well, sometimes you shoot them and they turn into ash and go (different sound effect).
ME: Great.
NICK: They’ve always been violent games.
(Pause)
NICK: Right, I’m off.

And that’ll be all I see of him this weekend.
