Guns recoil, if you fire an assualt rifle for any long period of time your shoulder hurts.

The first time I fired a rifle in videogame I killed a Russian guard. The first time I fired a rifle in real life it knocked a tooth straight out


So yeah, there's a difference.

what? you can't fire a real rifle while listening to mp3s and eating a slice of pizza? if they had to go to war, most gamers would be fucked!

Even worse : the trenches don't serve coke, and just try to find a Wireless Accesss Point in a minefield.

Come on, what dolt would think a hobby where you sit down all day could give you any sort of advantage in a real-world activity ? Sure, I can land a crippled 747 in a storm without instruments, as long as I can press F1 for help.

There&#39;s always a pilot... damnit.

Let&#39;s see you tackle this one : I can blast my way through an army of killer nuclear droids any day, as long as I can press F1 for help.

Knowing my luck, the next post will be by a professional NASA "cleaner"

lol dude ur funny

I did my flight training on the stupid M&#036; flight sim, it was pretty fun but i have to say it&#39;s no substitute for the real thing.

If I were to fly a real 747 i would prob crash but I know the basics of flying pretty well

You sound like a friend of mine (except he can probably fly a 747). The only thing he flies regularly are gliders and his dad&#39;s prop, but he says M&#036; pretty much nailed the technical details...

I&#39;d rather not take the test.

wow then I am impressed with my virtual piloting skillz....

ya I never bothered with the small planes, dunno why, but I loved flying the big jets, I can go anywhere I wanted to

ya I hope I can fly a real plane someday... but i&#39;d never pass the physicals...(20/20 vision)

His dad&#39;s got freakish glasses (even looks a bit like Gates ) and he&#39;s gets to fly - not the big &#39;uns, but he does fly.

Don&#39;t give up hope &#33;
