Anyone seen "Warrior POV" on the Military channel? Some interesting stories by supposedly real people intermixed with dramatizations and stock footage, but o.m.g.! EVERY actor in their re-creations has their fricking FINGER ON THE TRIGGER the entire time! I just can't watch it because of this. What a dissapointment! LOL
 
I object to their describing it as a 'first person shooter' experience. As if the guys out on the sharp end of the spear are no different from some zit-monkey on a sofa with a game controller and bag of M&M's fantasizing about how he passed 1-SFOD selection and is now a 'first person shooter.'

Like plenty of the documentaries, etc. on the military channel. And maybe I'll find this one interesting... but I won't set out to watch it intentionally. This whole genre of 'documentaries' where they '360' things and essentially use game CGI to replicate battles does nothing for me. Then again, I was raised on Victory At Sea and the 10,000 Day War. So there you go.


I'm probably just being a Richard-Cranium-type for my opinion on this one.

Cheers,
