    http://us.i1.yimg.com/videogames.yah...-lives/1181064

    Look Ma all this video gaming I do is worth saving lives, really I am not kidding!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    That's a great story!!! Good thing he didn't learn techniques from Grand Theft Auto. They would have been shot, robbed, and car jacked...

    Has anyone ever played America's Army??? I thought about it, but never got around to joining. It sounds like a pretty cool game...

    I played America's Army a little bit a couple of years ago too. Made all the training courses, including that of medic.

    Can't remember which movie it was anymore, but it was with Vin Diesel, and he said something like "Videogames are our education!" (He then drove a car off a bridge and jumped off it with a parachute in mid-air... it's what I recall from the scene)
