Lesson Transcript

Welcome back, watchers! This week, it’s all about games and we are going to learn about 10 “gamer speak” words. I should have taken my controller and everything. Let’s go!
1. jeu d'aventures “adventure game”
“Finishing an adventure game takes a while.” Finir un jeu d'aventures prend longtemps.
Because you have to go everywhere and then solve all the puzzles and then you have to do the site quest and then you lost track and you have to go back to the main quest to finish the story, but then… adventure game!

6. personnage non-joueur (pnj) “non-player character (npc)”
That one guy you have to go to talk to that give you the quest to go pick up nuts in the forest for half an hour and say, thank you, thank you.

I play Heroes of the Storm and Garrosh is kind of tanky.
It’s an alliance for mother! Perkkk...!
