My favorite pc game is quake, have you head of it?
I've heard of it, but I haven't played it! I've never been a big fan of first person shooters.
In Quake's single-player mode, players explore and navigate to the exit of each Gothic and dark level, its a very scary game with a lot of monsters, its like a sci-fi game
Now, that does sound cool! I like scary stories in RPGs. That's my favorite genre when playing tabletop games!
The player takes the role of the protagonist known as Ranger who was sent into a portal in order to stop an enemy, enemy is called Quake, you should try it someday
That sounds neat! Do I need to play the first Quake game to get an understanding for the sequel, though?
Well for single player yes, but for multiplayer-online you dont need to play from the beginning the first game is really old, you may not like the graphics 
Yeah, I sometimes have a hard time getting into the older video games because of the choppy image quality. Honestly, I'm most likely to play games like Super Mario Kart. The Wii version is my favorite
