Irmo

The last really good session of the game Battlefield 3 I played on my PC left me, I'm forced to admit, somewhat drained.


Compare the two. John's photo, top, is faithfully recreated in a scene from the Arma 2 video game
The noise of gunfire and rocket explosions, the speed at which things changed, the way it was impossible to tell from where incoming fire was coming, and the charge for enemy positions were both exhausting and exhilarating. I was desperate for another go.

But it reminded me uncannily of a long, bloody day in Libya on 24 September 2011.

A very interesting article.
