That might be what you get if you dock and 'see' the game but if you were just cruising by (not docked), you might hear the odd snippet like:
"Ooooh! Right in the asteroids..."
"That's gotta hurt Jim."
"What a play! The opposition didn't see that one coming."
"They sure didn't, Nick"
"It's like Adders against Thargoids out there Bob"
"The crowd's going wild, Rick."
"They haven't seen action like this since that holo-vid was leaked of me with your wife, Jim..."
"...That's right, I do have the same name as my wife"
"And the referee says NO!!!...
The players are questioning the call, the coaches are questioning the robo-linesmen
...and the crowd appear to be questioning the referee's ancestry..."
"Ian Bell, David Braben, Commander Jameson, Rebecca Weston, Alex Ryder, your boys took one HELL of a beating..."
What do you think? Just a quick pass but I could remove some of the (ahem...) 'humour'
and it shouldn't be too difficult to edit for anyone who could open a file...
Of course, I 'd have to learn how to write the thing first
, so don't hold your breath...
