[Pokey isn't really sure what the hell a X-Box is, but he knows that games were mentioned.

So yeah, he's just coming on in when he hears that call.]

So what games?

[techno_mancer]

Hey! I got a bunch. Mostly multiplayer shooters 'n' stuff. But I got two controllers, too, so we're good.

[godisachild]

Awesome.

[Blood and violence? Yes please. Pokey will just love that.

But he looks at the console with utter confusion for a moment, before putting a poker face on. He doesn't want to look like an idiot or that he doesn't understand technology, after all. It's just...weird looking.]

[techno_mancer]

Pretty much. Fantastic, ain't it?

[godisachild]

It's awesome. Is everything like this in the future?
