(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

WARBLOGGER WATCH
Saturday, October 05, 2002
G. Harlan Reynolds's enthusiasm for wargaming appears undiminished by recent allegations. Professor Reynolds links to an earlier piece he co-authored for the loons at NRO, which notes that to "anyone who knows it, geek culture is full of military aspects," and that "[g]eeks, who know that they can program their VCR, also believe themselves capable of cleaning a gun safely." We know of the ridiculous veneration of the machinery of death by many geeks, as well as their overestimation of their military competence. If this is a demonstration of the mastery acquired by gameplay, our predicament is indeed dire. posted by Anonymous5:27 PM
