Well theres this guy who plays Americas Army, well he didn't have real training in medics, but he managed to assist the people, under the pressure, instead of yelling of **** **** **** what the **** do i do?, well Jack-o (Jack Thompson) It proved his theory wrong that games bring harm to people.

Wow, that's awesome! He must've knows something though, because I don't think someone that has someone break into their house and they have random AK-47s everywhere and have ladders into the Ducts and stuff.

That's really interesting. In your face, congress!

Wow that's pretty cool, I also play AA and have passed the medic training and found it pretty informative. I haven't gotten to use the training in a real life scenario yet though, (unless you count putting a tourniquet on my little brother for fun :mrgreen:

), suppose it may help some in health class too.

I've never actually seen this gae, but I have heard of it. It seems like it can be used IRL.

I heard of this story on one of my podcast (1-up yours i think). I think this is awsome taht a game can actually help you save someones life.
