Q: Nick, have you played Halo 2?
Frost: No, I havent. But thats only because my girlfriend hates me playing games. So I would rather not play games than play games and have her angry.
Pegg: You should take the playing games part off that sentence.
Frost: What do you mean?
Pegg: Your girlfriend hates you.
Frost: Oh. Im gay.
Pegg: I havent started playing Half-Life 2 yet, and Half-Life was my favorite game of all time. Doom 3 was a hoot.
Frost: I couldnt play it in the end. It was too tense.
Q: Scared you too much?
Frost: Yeah, I just thought, I dont need to feel like this in my own house.
Pegg: What I like about it is that you will go into a dark room and everything will be dark and that was what was great about it, that you only have a torch and you hear ugh agh and you shine it around and theres a zombie right there!
Frost: I know.
Pegg: One time me and Nick were playing it, and we were playing on the computer and my girlfriend who I adore beyond measure called down to me for something and I was like, Yeah? and then I got killed and I hadnt saved it for like I was shouting. You rooooo-ined the game! You roooooo-ined it!
Frost: Im addicted to this game called Championship Manager 2005. Days disappear.
Pegg: Its a soccer game.
Frost: You can be a manager for any division in the world.
Pegg: America United?
Frost: From shit divisions you can be DC or Kansas City. Any team in the world. Youre the manager. Youre responsible for the players, how much you pay them, if they get injured, their morale and training schedule. And then a week goes back and you then get to play a match. Where you get beat. And if you dont do well enough they fire you. Its incredible.
Pegg: I love that about the first Half-Life, where you actually went to work for maybe half an hour. You got on the train, you went in, you picked up your suit, you walked off and were messing around in some chamber and then 20 minutes into the game when youre just playing a blue collar worker the dimensions fold and all these aliens come in. It was brilliant, I cant wait to play the sequel.
Q: Have you played the new Grand Theft Auto?
Pegg: No, I just bought that.
Q: Its incredible. I hope you have a week and a half to kill. Are you Playstation or Xbox guys?
Pegg: Both.
Frost: Xbox.
Pegg: I havent played a Playstation game for a long time. I do like PCs.
Frost: I love PC. We both have nice offices, so its nice to sit in our PC room and just play.
Pegg: I really enjoy Jedi Outcast, the Star Wars game. Thats where they get it right. You know why that is? Why the games are better than the films? Because he delegated it to Star Wars fans and Star Wars fans are making the ancillary media. They understand it better than he does.
