Snake Vid-edit

War-games have changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by gamers and the gaming elite. War-Games, and its consumption of time, has become a well-oiled machine. War-games have changed. Players carry leveling weapons, use leveling gear. Energy drinks inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Mind reading controllers. PSN and XBox Live Accounts. Emotions rage. Battlefield replays. Everything is monitored, and kept under control by GMs. War-games have changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of obsession. All in the name of distracting us from the real-life catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, probably has the most points. War-games have changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war-games... becomes routine.
