This is kind of like saying that you can contract a VD by playing Leisure Suit Larry.

Let's just say that I've probably broken a few international laws in AOE:II by burning some peasant's crops and stealing their oxen.

My work as a terrorist in CS and CS:S probably counts as crimes against humanity. Genocide is definitely included, not a single hostage lived on my watch.

Not to mention the times I cheated and plowed over my enemies with sports cars and space men. Now I need to go back and play those games.

There is an ongoing study in DoD in how American Soldiers react to actual combat and in the combat of the gaming world. And can they maintain the differance under the stress of actual combat. There is no reset button in actual combat.

Making the games compliant to the current Rules of Land Warfare could erase that potential grey area in current and future conflicts.

No, everyone knows that double tapping is for amateurs.  Real men use controlled pairs.

I just started playing again.  We need to get some forum games going or something.

Owing to the fact I am not killing actual humans, and that this is taking place in an alternate universe, I'll just ignore that.

I honestly don't get how they are making this connection.

Games = make believe.

I don't know if any of my computers will play it anymore. I can try my ol' lady's PC, but I don't know if the whole Windows 7 thing will cause problems.

I had a hard time getting it to install. Something was getting snagged up. I'll try again later now that I'm done for the semester.

Click it and play it and join me in the land of mental " I can't get that arsing song out of my head" anguish.

And it's amazing nostalgia sauce.
