Look, let's be "real" here guys.
I don't care what games are popular here or what is a "sim" and what is a "game". There's nothing anyone plays here that is a true "sim". Playing soldier in ArmAII by clicking a mouse and pushing buttons on a keyboard is hardly simulating what a soldier goes through.
And I don't care what the start-up procedures are on a helicopter or airplane. Essentially these are ALL GAMES. Period.
So, DD, please, just get OVER yourself. Or at the very least don't be a hypocrate and tell Magnum not to post pics or vids of Gears of War. Let's see how far you get with THAT suggestion.
If sci-fi shooter screens aren't your thing then just feel free to move along. There's no point in going negative on it.
Jeevz is right. This is ALL fantasy. We're just a bunch of grown men playing G.I. Joe, Chuck Yeager and Buzz Lightyear.
