probably real, soonish

the sudoku killer gag at the end is a good one.

Not where I would have spent my weekends in High School

Was waiting on a sandwich from the delicious café across the street, and read this article in the New York Times while I sat there.

The Army now runs an arcade in a mall...

I suppose this idea is interesting, and a good way to recruit the mass of young gamers...but it still seems strange to me. Would they be strict about what games they carry in this arcade? Would they get Street Fighter 4? Even if you choose to not be contacted about recruitment, they still have all your information since you have to sign up to enter. I'm sure they track via your bar coded badge what games you are playing and how you do, etc. Ick.
