Another interesting example of why our parents were wrong. "Its not like
you will ever get a JOB playing those games!". And I thought my job as
beta-tester was the ultimate answer. Then the Air Force came out with those
little planes that do surveilance and bomb runs with the guy flying it
using a joystick in a trailer miles away. Now you can be CIA and play MMOs.
Cool!

Have you checked out the new 'Crusher" vehicle the Army is planning to
use? Nearly autonomous, you command it to go to a location, and it
navigates its own way. But it does also have manual remote control.
One feature given was its camera system that can be manipulated using
a modified Xbox 360 controller. There were several articles about
this vehicle the past few days on various news websites.

tool part trainer and lots of fun. Entertaining propaganda, woo hoo.

with the help of a thousand monkeys banging on keyboards, was finally
able to type out the following:

And Rogues, how could anyone forget them considering they're are in
effect a spy class. They're into sleuth, stealing, and assassination,
all the skills any good terrorist would need.
