... with killing.

Yesterday I downloaded the demo of a WWII shooter called Call of Duty. It's a very fun game, though it goes against everything I stand for.

You see, I'm kinda a hippie, and I'm strongly against war and violence.

I'm so obsessed with it that I've beaten the demo on every difficulty level: greenhorn, regular, hardened, and veteran. It's nuts. So why do I find this game so much fun that I have no doubt I'll buy the full version?

My theory is that it's the human fascination with violence and war. There's nothing to get the adrenaline pumping quite like hearing someone shout "MG42's! Hit the dirt!"

It's just interesting to see what happened in WWII, and trust me, this seems to be a pretty accurate replica.

In the demo you get the first mission. The objective of this mission for your platoon to capture the town of Ste. Mere Eglise, which is under Nazi occupation. The first section consists of you and your platoon crossing a minefield while under fire by machine guns and mortars.

There's people falling to gunfire all around you, bombs going off everywhere, all your defenses are being blown apart, as well as people being thrown twenty feet in the air by mines. It's just horrible.

And yet, I like it. Even though it goes against all of my core beliefs, I get this thrill from playing the game that makes me want to put writing second, though I don't. It still gets done every day.

What do you think?

I agree. I find myself enjoying games such as halo 2 and as much as I'm against the vietnam war, I really liked the game Nam 67'.
