Culture Matters: Languages
Two men are sitting at a table facing each other. They each have a laptop and headphones, and are gaming,
[Man 1] Which tune do you plan on rolling?
[Man 2] I need to gear up my bear tank. Do you mind supporting me on flintlock?
The narrator is sitting at a different table with a laptop. He looks over at the two men gaming.
[Man 1] Sure thing. I love melting faces.
The narrator looks at the camera.
[Narrator] I have deployed four times to three different countries. I've had extensive training in mastering the subtleties of understanding different cultures.
Camera close-up on Man 1's hands as he types. The camera shifts to Man 2's face, and then his hands as one types on his laptop and the other controls a mouse.
[Narrator] I intimately know their language and their Army subculture. I've analyzed them using aSCOPE and PMESII.
Camera pans back to the two men as they continue to game.
[Man 2] Let me get agro.
[Man 1] Get a threat meter. So weak. Right to his face.
Close-up on Man 2's hands.
[Man 2] Noob, you're going to wipe us. Healer's already raging.
Man 2 looks frustrated. Man 1 looks unconcerned.
[Man 1] I own that mob. Crybaby's only dropped a few hots on me anyway.
Narrator talks to camera.
[Narrator] And after all my analysis, I still have no idea what they're talking about.
Man 2 looks confused and surprised.
[Man 2] What, did he just eat that?
Man 1 looks frustrated.
[Man 1] What? He ninja-ed it?
[Man 2] That's what you get for trolling the healer.
[Man 1] Stupid ninja.
[Narrator] Culture training is a lifelong effort.
[Man 2] B-logs, just reroll.
Man 2 throws his hands up in the air in frustration. Camera returns to narrator.
[Narrator] Sounds like one of them got owned. Culture matters.
