Help stop first-person-shooter disease

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.
