However, you're right Bob. There are probably a thousand similar games, and many of them have "God mode" which - after inputting some code easily obtained on the 'net - allows the player to play "forever" with maximum power. The challenge and fun of that mode escapes me.

It's definitely sick, and furthermore, it's stupid. This morning I was listening to a "breaking" press conference, and each of the reporters asked a barely different version of the SAME question of the law enforcement officer holding the conference. He must have answered 10 times that he and his dept were not going to release the requested information, yet the reporters continued, wasting everyone's time. Disgusted, I finally turned off the radio. First let's catch the sniper(s). Then we can talk about it and write books about it and make a nice little TV movie. I usually take the side of media rights, but what's going on now is really over the top. Lori ~
