I love how the article says that the Beltway Snipers supposedly practiced with Halo.
If they said that or not... I don't know, but either way, even if they DID... how the HELL is a game any good practice for a real sniper rifle.
True, you get hand eye coordination, or adjusted vision for it... But you don't line a target up in sights in the game like you would with a REAL gun in your hand. If Halo had a sniper gun attachment which you played with (Like Time Crisis' pistol), then maybe.... but not with that GIANT xbox controller.
This was the first thing I thought of, being from Pennsyltucky and all.
I was going to say it's ironic that this TECHNOLOGICAL device is also the name of a large Amish area in PA.::grin::
True, other things have gone into the Stealth Camo Suits, and other technology, it is just that Anime happens to have this stuff.... A LOT.
Mechas, guns, 5000's of shells flying around, etc. It's done in anime A LOT, and done with lots of detail (usually).
Ideas come from all walks of life, but it seems like the coolest ideas come from anime. I mean, who wouldn't want to pilot a huge mecha, or Evangelion?::drool::

What are you, stupid? Yeah let's windex the INSIDE of a power supply.
The Last Starfighter is one of my favorites! "What do we do now?" ::eye visor flips over::

Not me at all, I'm ganking asshole terrorists left and right in Raven Shield every night.
A game is a game. War is war. They are separate.

Wahhh, I get paid to play games and I complain.
Yeah true, meetings suck too, but.... you do nothing in meetings!
Dude that's some hard core pansy talk right there. Warranties are for sissies.
