Playing video games in English is a really fun way to improve your speaking skills doesn't
matter if you make mistakes doesn't matter if your grammar is bad you just have fun
but you do need good communication so today let's learn how to play video games in English
today I'm playing "Animal Royale" it's basically fortnite but with cute animals it's free to play
on Steam they don't sponsor me though so I don't care if you download it and play it it is fun
though and I'll be playing with my friend Marina you might know her as "@Mudazukuri" on social media
- I'm an inventor. I make useless machines. For example: The machine that slaps your face with money
to get motivated. I made over 200 useless inventions so far!
Let's kill some animals! Yeah let's kill some animals! I'm really excited I'm excited too!
Definitely give her a follow she's hilarious!
The basics! In all games, the weapons are pretty much the same let's go through them
This is what we'd call an AR that stands for assault rifle but no one says that AR
this guy is a pistol this guy is a shotgun SMG sniper rocket launcher but everyone just calls it
an RPG and the things you put in those weapons are called bullets you count those those are countable
one bullet two bullets the uncountable version of this is ammo I'm out of ammo for example
so you both have a weapon but you need some ammo how can you ask can you drop me some
ammo to drop someone something in video games to give someone something usually you have to
drop it first so that is the question you need to ask can you drop me some ammo can you drop me
a weapon can you drop me some health depending on the game you're playing and remember I said this
"OUT OF AMMO!"
"To be out of something" it means you don't have any left
You're empty. You used it all.
I'm out of ammo I have no more ammo
she can't offer ammo, but she can offer a grenade! That's a grenade. And the short version in video games
we say "nade" "I can drop you some nades?!"
So you're both ready for a fight but then you see someone! What can you say to your partner?
Person!!
Oh my God! Someone! Someone!
You can just say "I see someone!"
but if someone is actively fighting you, this is what you say:
"There's someone on me" "I've got someone on me" or easier
"Someone on me!"
so if you think your partner is in trouble the question to ask is
"Is there someone on you?"
to check if they're okay to check they're not in a fight
now usually if you're playing a team game you don't kill someone instantly usually you just
KNOCK them or DOWN them! Those are verbs and the whole sentence
I got the knock
"I got the knock on her" "I got the knock on this guy"
that means you didn't kill them they are just in this state and probably their teammate is
still alive trying to save his teammate so yeah "I got the knock on her" or "I downed her"
"I downed that guy" notice that they could both be verbs but in this case that one "KNOCK" can be a noun
"I got the knock" / "I got a knock on this person" but like I said her teammate is near so maybe
he's gonna he is gonna...!!
He is gonna save his teammate depending on the game giving health or just
*Holding hand over fallen teammate and miraculously they live again, like a sexy zombie!*
to bring them back to life to resurrect them we usually shorten "RESURRECT" to "Res" this can
be a verb like "I'm down please res me" or it can be a noun "I'm getting the res!"
You could also use the verb revive mostly we just use that as a verb resume revive me
when you win you get the W or some people say the dub I don't
um I don't even say w i i just say we won that's awesome but some people say w some people say dub
totally your choice I'm not here to tell you how to have fun but if you lose you don't "GET"
the L no no no you "TAKE" the L I don't know why it just sounds more insulting like "Ha take the L!"
and we also use this in real life sometimes too if someone fails at something if someone
hurts themself for example in real life someone might say yeah that's a big L but either way at
the end of the game say to your partner say to your teammate GG or ggs and it means good game
again this also is used in real life sometimes usually sarcastically when there was a conflict
or a fight and something funny happened for example if you and your best friend like one girl
but that girl chooses another guy and she wants neither of you you might say "GGs" to be sarcastic
I'm just saying you might hear this in real life but maybe this is someone's first game maybe you
need to teach them how to play a game if you need to tell someone to press a button to do something
that is press for a long time that's hold or hold down this button and this that's tap and those are
the same words depending if you play on a PC with a keyboard or a console with a controller so now
you've learned some new vocabulary it's time to go and play video games to improve your English
okay let's go see if Marina and me can win this thing and get the W or lose it and take the L
