A Supercomputing Cluster For FPS Gaming

These guys apparently have built a cluster that will be pushing 2 TerraFlops, which would easily put it between Blue Pacific and Blue Mountain . Interesting that the same time the .mil starts making FPS's, FPS platforms are outperforming some of the top defense labs."

    Now they'll be able to do a fully realistic military sim!

    You'll spend two years digging really high polygon ditches, then get shipped to the asscrack of the world to perform a police action, and after two months of dysentary and grinding boredom, an extremely well rendered twelve year old kid will crack your skull with a well aimed rock.

    Abort / Retry / Get a clue.

    (Seriously, I love FPS's, but as games. Please let's not mention .mil and realistic in the same context as games)
