Video transcript

Some of you may like online gaming, some of you may not, some of you may not even know what it is. And whether you like it or not I'm going to tell you about it.

For example (for the people who do not know what online gaming is) you can play on computer games with other people from all over the world, using the internet.

I think online gaming has more of a meaning than just sitting on your own trying to find one enjoyable thing on Ashes Cricket 2009 the videogame. I like playing online, against other people, all over the world, talking over the headsets with my older cousin shouting GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, on the last minute of the football game, then he beats me 5-4 on penalties. I have also played games like Habbo, which is made for chatting with people. But really all you're paying for is a stupid little pixel person which looks like it was designed by a 3 year old who was just told to use some expert videogame design program. You even get a speech bubble...how amazing! And also the clothes were all based on chavs.

In Runescape, which is a bit like habbo where you can do chat, but you have a storyline and quests, and on Habbo you cannot get an Armadyl Godsword, not that you need it for typing words into a speech bubble. It's not like you're killing goblins and dragons or something. Here are some of the skills on Runescape - Attack, Defence, Strength, which I would have added if I had time.

There is one more game, Club Penguin. I pay lots of money and got a virtual penguin...... and that's it. UNLESS... You are a member of the Elite Penguin Force!!!
