Lindsay: So if you buy a game, how long does it take you to beat the game? One year or fifteen hours or what?
Jake: Well, maybe the shortest ones are only about six hours but it all depends on how much you're playing it. If it's something I really like, sometimes I can't put it down and I just keep playing it and I finish it in a few days and sometimes, well, it's alright but I can't get myself to keep playing it so sometimes it can take me a few months to finish a game.
Lindsay: Oh, OK. So do you think you're a very skillful1 video game player?
Jake: No, I'm pretty bad sometimes, especially at the newer games. I'm better at the old ones.
Lindsay: Oh OK. One final question, do you think it's more important to beat the actual video game or when you're playing with someone to beat the person that you're playing with?
Jake: What do you mean?
Lindsay: So, you know, when you're friend comes over and you're both playing the video games together and you're competing against one each other, or is it better to actually like beat the video game itself? Does that make sense? Don't you usually play against your friend?
Jake: Yeah, sometimes I play against my friends, but it seems like there's less goal to it when you're playing against someone else. You win sometimes and you lose sometimes, but once you finish the game, then you can feel like you've accomplished2 something.
Lindsay: Oh, OK. Have you ever been so addicted3 to a game, and then you finished it and you were disappointed4 because you liked the game so much?
Jake: Actually, that happens a lot. Sometimes you finish a game that you really like and you wish there was more games so that you could keep playing it.
Lindsay: OK, that happens to me but that's when I am reading a book, or yeah, usually when I'm reading a book or finish a long project but I can't imagine that happening with a video game.
Jake: It's exactly the same as with a book or with a TV series5 or something else that you really enjoy. When it's finished you're...
Lindsay: It's bitter6 sweet, right?
Jake: Yes, exactly.
