Разработка к видеоматериалу How to destroy the world. Computer games (Как разрушить мир. Компьютерные игры)

Greetings! Today on “How to destroy the world” we are looking at computer games (Здравствуйте! Сегодня в передаче «Как разрушить мир» мы рассмотрим компьютерные игры). Чтобы уйти от грубой реальности (brutish reality), люди придумали (invented) компьютерные игры, в которых много драк и веселья, но никто не умирает (all the fighting, all the fun, but none of the death). Однако люди не учли, что в то время как все счастливо живут онлайн (everyone is living happily online), реальный мир может перестать существовать (the real world can cease to exist).
