From what I've heard from the 4 people I've met a couple years older than me that are enlisted and in Iraq when they're in combat, it's funner.


It would be fun when you are outdoors, shooting live rounds and getting an adrenalin rush, but in a game if you die, you simply respawn. No chance like that in real life. Plus some of the injuries sustained can remain with you for life. Also, there is the horror of seeing your buddies blown up, and suffering from post-traumatic stress. I am not saying that this happens to every soldier, they seem to be very well protected, but if you are that one unlucky b*****d....then I am sure you wouldn't be thinking that real combat is fun.

Well duh. One of my friends actually told me a story about how they called in an air strike and started yelling out stuff like "M-m-m-m-monster kill!" and "Fatality!" while watching a hut with people in it being blow up

Don't "duh" me! You were the one who pointed out that you spoke to people who thought combat was fun. You offered that remark almost to say that war was fun, you did not state whether you agreed or not!

About calling stuff out like "fatality!", that's all we need, just more fuel for the media to say that video games are a bad influence!

Then stop acting so condescending in 70% of your posts. That's my job.

I'm not sure about any gaming documentaries, but there was a rather large museum exhibit on videogames about this time last year. It was needless to say a small chunk of gamer heaven. heart
