Dudley shoved the pile of papers on his desk to one side. That was most certainly enough coursework for one evening and he knew that because his computer monitor showed signs of life. A small blue square in the bottom right that popped up demanding his attention accompanied by a chime that interrupted the song playing through his speakers. The wonders of instant messaging. He reached out a hand, brought the mouse under his control and clicked.

Dudley closed down MSN and winamp and grabbed his headset from a shelf. New things were always exciting, moreso when he got to experience that first time rush with his friends. He unplugged the speakers and replaced them with the headset's mic and headphone jacks. Gaming was just of the many things Dudley loved about the digital age. Gaming and the internet. Computers and technology. How did people ever live without them? He opened steam and logged in.

The program recognised his settings and began downloading the game update. Just a few minutes later he was ready. He tried to quell the excitement. It would be no good being all jittery when he needed a steady hand to aim. He launched the game, adjusted the mic placement on his headset and entered the game lobby.
