Guns and Ammo

Couple of (kinda) gun-related posts that caught my eye on Wonderland this morning.

First is a guy, playing WoW who nearly got shot in the head through a wall by his neighbour who was playing with his gun collection in the bathroom. Guys are both soldiers, but this raises the question - what was the other guy doing playing with all those guns in his bathroom? Would you clean a gun in the bathroom? It's not like you run them under the tap. I have an image in my head, and it ain't pretty.

Second is an anti-war protestor called dead_in_iraq who logs onto the US-Army-FPS-cum-recruiting-tool America's Army and instead of joining a team and shooting, he stands, unarmed and recites the names of the US soldiers who have died in the Iraq war.

  2. Recruitment thing aside, AA was a great game. Could only be a sniper when you had passed the rock hard training missions in single player.

  3. I shot the instructor in the head. I just can't help myself in games like that.

  5. Well, that's what QuickSave is for.

    How many people actually pick up the can in HalfLife 2?
