Good radio documentary show on NPR. This week's theme was video games...everything from how video games effect your brain, the military and games and Mario Art! Listen to segments on the site.

Cool. I'll have a listen when it comes on in my time zone. It's usually on when I'm doing my Sunday drive out to visit the folks.

I did, I listen to it every week although it was interesting it was not quite up there with their other topics.

I have to agree with that. I will say that it was fairly good for the topic though. Video game culture has been getting a lot more play in popular media lately.

Ohhh what did they say in relation to video games and the military. I was just at the G.A.M.E.S. Synergy Summit.

It was primarily about the intersection of army training games with commercial releases. How well games actually prepare troops, etc. There's a nice section at the site. The segment was called "The Army and the Xbox" haha. They talk some about Full Spectrum Warrior and a piece of software the army uses that can simulate a virtual city with something like a million structures, citizenry, etc.
