The Military-Nintendo ComplexIn America, children

The Military-Nintendo Complex

In America, children are being drafted into war at about the age of seven. American military actions resemble high-tech electronic games while on our own soil we are witnessing another war: The soldiers are children, the battlegrounds their schools, and their engagements resemble the same violent electronic games that train our military and "entertain" our children.
Many games are indescribably obnoxious, and I've been out of the gaming world so long I didn't realise they're proud of shit like this. (WildTangent is a great visualisation engine but that is no excuse).
