#4 I don't play on-line games. I game to get away from @$$holes; why would I surround my self with them?

#5 Does that mean if I play solitaire on my computer, I'm an extremist?

#7 I wonder if they're monitoring gamers on Ivy League campuses? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no.

#11 Hasn't it been reported (maybe on Rantburg) bad guys communicate within the game and such communications are hard for the feds to follow?

#12 That was a plot point, in a movie, made some ten years ago, and presented as established fact to the audience.

#13 I'm pretty sure it isn't just gamers they are monitoring...

#14 Apologies if that came off as snotty; it stuck with me because it had been talked about extensively and when it showed in the movie I wasn't shocked, but was like about time.

So the question here is, what is this? People rediscovering Starship Troopers? Too much Sweet Baby chatter? Independent media reviewers not talking the line?

#15 Monitoring gamers? My guess is that you can only watch so much pron before you move on.

#16 Federal government's war on beer and pretzels.

#17 Sounds like a plum assignment as compared to being assigned to take a bullet for Hillary Clinton.

#20 #19 There is a new version or update to Harpoon? I will check it out.

It ain't Harpoon, but it is a very good likeness.

Tons of scenarios available, and new weapons (with the advent of Drones) being introduced all the time.

Highly recommended.

A glorious timewaster.

#21 Play capture-the-flag as a team
And be deemed by Big Bossy extreme...
But the posses who flash
Guns and gang hands and cash
As they capture "the process?"
A dream!
