Rina #173: VR Games at Home
Player
Coming in!
Rina
Welcome. Thanks for coming today.
Player
Don't mention it. Thanks for inviting me. I'm glad I get to come over to your place to hang out.
Player
You mentioned a game you wanted to play with me… What kind of game is it? A video game?
Rina
This.
Player
Is this…a VR game?! No way! I've never played a VR game before!
Rina
This will be my first time playing it at home, so I'm really excited.
Player
VR games are supposed to make you feel like you're actually in the video game world, right? I wonder what that's gonna be like! I can't wait!
Rina
Here's the headset. You have to put it on to play the game.
Player
Thanks. Whoa, this thing is so cool! It looks like it came out of a sci-fi movie! But wait, what are you gonna use?
Rina
I…
Rina
I'm gonna use this.
Player
Huh? Isn't that the Rina-chan Board you use during live shows?
Rina
Yup. This Rina-chan Board is equipped with a VR headset function as well, so we're all set.
Player
Really?! When did that feature get added…? Man, your Rina-chan Board gets more high-tech every day…
Rina
That's everything set up. I'll start the game.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Whoa! I really am in a virtual world! Huh? Is this a game, or is it real life?
Rina
It's a game. But the graphics are pretty realistic and if you're not holding your controllers… Actually, even with the controllers it's hard to tell the difference. Whoa!
Rina
Check out your stats and…start!
Rina
Take that…and that! Ack, I messed up… One more time!
Rina
Urgh, this game is pretty hard… But it's fun! I HAVE to beat it!
Rina
Phew, that was fun.
Rina
Huh? Is this the game, or is it real life…?
Player
This is the real world now. *Chuckle* You got really into it, huh? I heard that VR games were pretty immersive. I guess it's true after all!
Rina
S-Sorry! I just took off without you halfway through…
| Option 1: “I was having fun too!” |
|---|
| Player You don't need to be sorry! I was having fun too! Rina R-Really? I'm a bit embarrassed, but as long as you were having fun, then I'm happy. |
| Option 2: “You must've been having a lot of fun.” |
| Player You're normally so quiet and reserved, so you must have been having the time of your life. Rina Yeah… It was super realistic and there was so much to do in there that it totally sucked me in. VR games sure are fun. |
Player
They sure are. I'm glad I got to share my first VR gaming experience with you.
Rina
I'm also glad I got to play with you. This was actually my first time playing video games with someone in my own room like this…
Player
Really? Sounds like the two of us had a lot of firsts today.
Rina
U-Um, there's actually one more game that I wanna play with you… It's another VR game.
Player
Really? Then let's jump into our second round! I messed up a lot in the last one 'cause it was my first time, but I'm sure I'll be better this time around!
Rina
I'll show you how good I can be too. Here we go! Game on!
