When this kind of technology(video games) became the rage in the 1980’s, Ronald Reagen said that kids who mastered these games would make good soldiers and pilots from playing them because of the finger/eye co-ordination it would build in them. He was laughed at at the time. Who’s laughing now?

I play a game called DEFCON. The gameplay is reminiscent of the “big boards” that visually represented thermonuclear war

And Tipper Gore tried soooooo hard to stop it.
My parents were convinced my computer was the devil.

Bah. MMORPGs don't do a thing to help you operate military equipment in real time. You need to get where the real action is - some hardcore FPS!

Somewhere, I saw an article explaining how video games are actually a huge conspiracy between industry and the government to train soldiers how to kill.
