Professionals play video games

Post by Kuokkanen »

Professional planners play Cities: Skylines and SimCity 2000. Interesting stuff.

[edit]
Changed thread title because I want to post links to other cool videos. Feel free to add more yourself.
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Nothing new. Harpoon was initially a game used to wargame different naval warfare scenarios.

Regardless it was interesting for me to see how professional city planners build cities in video games and I learned something from it. Policewoman playing herself in GTA5 is good too. And their commentary about games and their realism (and lack of it) is something worth of note.

I can't count how many hours I and my shipmates played Harpoon while on my last deployment on USS America in 1992. [&o][&o][&o]

Sounds good! Can you make a video about it? Or has somebody else made it already? I mean a video about navy personnel playing Harpoon.

Navy veterans play Battleship

It's a little late for that in my case, Kuokkanen. I left the Navy over 21 years ago. [:D]

Correct, Lobster. It means Sonar Technician, Submarine according to this.
