What would YOU think if you found a shooting game on your son's or daughter's computer and your home was the floorplan?

I'd think about asking them if I could get the level on my own computer, and then play it against them.

Hehe... well, to be honest, I’d let the kid know that unless they dramatically embellished the size of our house, its going to make a pretty poor FPS level. Drawing the whole block would be better ;)

"I'd think about asking them if I could get the level on my own computer, and then play it against them."

Waayyy back in 1981 I took a Greyhound from WV to Ariz. to visit my parents.

We stopped at Tulsa to hose the thing down (cross country bussers know this) ... and I whiled an hour of my time away playing PacMan (the only thing in the lounge and I only paid a quarter for all those games).

When I got back on the bus, I picked up the book I was reading before I disembarked and discovered I couldn't read from left to right. My eyes had an hour's worth of up, down, right, down, right, left, down, up, right ... etc .... and I couldn't read the book.

I fell asleep and awoke a couple of hours later.

That experience taught me .... taught me ... that what you do with your eyes is connected to what your brain is telling them to do.

I'd have a hard time thinking my child was thinking about how to kill me.

Or worse ... My thinking about how I'll kill him or her first.

War games are OK, fantasy games are OK, Tetrus is OK, etc ... but not a game about killing me.

OK ... I'm not here to fight with a freeper ... just my opinion ... I'd like to know more about this article, the kid and the school.
