Do you talk to Bradley’s parents about banning this game or do you just chaulk it up to boys being boys?
2. A new experimental VR headset is available at this brand new secretive game company, which your friend just starting working at. Cardi lets you know that they are looking for beta testers to see if the tech they’re using really can make people feel immersed in the game.

Do you stop reading now and tear up the waiver or do you just skip to the end, because if something happens you’re gonna sew no matter what rights you signed away?
3. Liara has been a gamer ever since she got her hands on her first joystick.
