IN: Erik refused to let me help him with it . It was super cheap entertainment for an hour . They did n't charge us for our shoes ( I did n't understand the mumbled explanation , but I ' m not complaining ) . This is definitely something we 'll do again , probably as a family .
What was super cheap entertainment for an hour ?

OUT: Bowling

IN: I had Dani and Adam over and we went to the Foothills Mall for EB games , dinner , and to wander around . At EB games I got The Godfather for my 360 and the GTA trilogy for ps2 . And we had Danielle pretend that The Godfather was her favorite movie , which she announced in the car on the way home ( long story , ask me sometime ) . At my house we played The Godfather , GTA III and Scarface .
What hobby does the narrator seem to have ?

OUT:
They are gamers .
