Help stop first-person-shooter disease
Posted on July 13th, 2009 – 9:22 AMBy Randy A. Salas
Having spent more than five hours Saturday night playing Left 4 Dead with my friend Eric (aka Louis), I found this YouTube video (via Boing Boing) to be pretty funny.
I don’t suffer from first-person-shooter disease, but I did have a creepy feeling recently while visiting Washington, D.C. I couldn’t help but get a strange sense of deja vu while walking through the dimly lit Metro tunnels amid all of the zombie-like commuters and tourists. It was just like playing Fallout 3, set in a post-apocalyptic version of our nation’s capital. There are much fewer mutants in real life, though.

When the butter knife switched to the gun… I spit my coffee all over my desk.
Hey Randy, Why is it that I can no longer find a link to your “Technobabble” from the blog area? If they cut your blog and kept Liek’s it’s no wonder the Strib is struggling with poor decisions like that.
Hey, Darth. I’ve been on vacation for three weeks (just got back) and have been busy with other duties. They’re in the process of switching my blog to the new format. I’ll start posting again on Monday. Thanks.
