Shall We Play a Game…?

First it was the game of Jackels, then chess, next first person shooter games. Now it is the real thing. That is, game playing as the real thing. As in right down to the controller systems being developed for the DoD. —

I’ll be the first to say — deploy anything that keeps our guys and gals in the military safe. But there are limits. I say limits only for this reason, its cheap. The cost of doing a UAV is now in the realm of the hobbyist. For less than a $1k you can build and deploy one. No you won’t be able to fly it half way around the world like a Global Hawk but for just general level terrorism a quarter scale model carrying 3-4 of C4 is more than enough to create havoc.

Don’t be surprised if Sony or Microsoft gaming wins a DoD contract in the future.
