Those games when you see the gun at the bottom of the screen and you shoot stuff.
Okay.
Just point and shoot?
Yeah, but this is like the newest one.
This is the fourth one.
Okay.
It's been in development for a while.
Yeah, okay.
[MUSIC]
How do I shoot?
Okay, so the left-- you've got those two triggers on the side.
No, underneath.
These, right there.
So, the right one is the gun.
The left one is for special--
[UNKNOWN]
No.
You get certain guns and it does--
Blowing stuff up?
Yeah, blowing stuff up.
Look up, quick it's going to kill you.

You just got to move around and navigate.
[INAUDIBLE] [NOISE]
I'm done.
You don't want to play anymore?
[INAUDIBLE]
You want to watch me play?
I was gonna put you on one of the hardware You like the game or not?
Okay.
No, do you like it or not?
Okay, it's okay.
I'm not going to play it every day, that's for sure.
Okay.
The monster [UNKNOWN]
She's quite [UNKNOWN] Can you just stop right there?
You don't want to play anymore?
I don't know what else to do.
Well, I can put you on something else.
Great.
So what are you thinking?
Seriously, like what's your like you can say it's okay, but can you be more specific?
It's okay.
If you played games, would you play it?
No.
Why not?
It's too bloody.
I don't like all that.
What if there's a version of this with Nazis in World War II?
No.
You wouldn't like that either?
No.
Okay.
I don't like blowing people up.
They're not people.
Nazis are people.
These aren't people.
[CROSSTALK] [INAUDIBLE] Okay.
I guess my christian faith says.
Well, that's why I thought you'd like this.
What, just because you say I'm a Christian I want to blow up-
No I don't mean that.
Well isn't that.
That's not a very christian thing to do, is it.
