What happens if you hate sports? What about the soldier gamers that couldn't give two shits about sports or sport stars, but would be really interested in something like this?
When are they going to set something like this up where the celebs are actually video game celebs, like Hideo Kojima and/or David Hayter?
IDK about other people, but if I were stuck in war torn Iraq and got to play MGO vs David Hayter, well that'd just make my whole damn tour.
@TexasJack: What happens if you hate sports? Who the hell cares? I'm not a basketball fan but if Michael Jordan came to my house I'd still be pretty damned pumped to meet/spend time with him.
Polamalu insisted soldiers comb his luxurious locks while sidelined, oblivious to Live's and his teammates' limitations while Big Ben and company stunk up "Under Pressure."
Hmmm, I'd say don't get too hung up on what the capabilities of the actual device are, be concerned about what could be smuggled in/out in the size of the device. A few ounces of C4 going in, some top secret part going out.
I feel bad for them but damn, they shoulda known better.
Awesome.
Great to know that the idiots who work on the most important, dangerous stuff are so irresponsible that they bring damn video games to work.
ITS WORK you damn idiots. Get over it, and play a game when you get home.
Hell, I work in a damn video game store, and I dont touch anything till I get home....... Its called being responsible..
But i guess your parents dont teach you that type of stuff anymore, Lets rely on the FCAT tests to teach them stuff like that right...........
@Ur-Lord-Crypy: Working in any industry that has the word "Nuclear" in it tends to involve long frequent periods of downtime. Before you go on your rant about "kids these days" you might want to consider perhaps that they were using the devices at times when there was literally nothing else to do.
That being said, I have little sympathy because it's also extremely likely that they also aren't allowed to bring any non-work related reading material into the protected area either so it's not like it's not obvious that electronics would also be forbidden.
For a time in my life I worked in nuclear power plants for a contractor during maintenance outages. I probably spent more than half of my paid time sitting in break rooms and offices waiting to be cleared to go back into the plant because they were testing something or whatnot. There were similar restrictions on what could be brought into the plant. I probably read through the Spring 2000 Grainger catalog about 4 times at one job.
Seriously, I'm a guard at a major hedge fund and if we're caught reading anything that does not pertain to work, we're immediately terminated, no questions asked.
"just bring a newspaper and do the crosswords, ok?"
Some places don't even allow that. I know at the prison I work at, you're not allowed to bring in any reading material and if it's not official bussiness, you have no reason to be reading it. I suspect these guys might even have similar rules. Needless to say, that PSP is a real no-go. I'm suprised that since it's so high security that they were allowed to enter with it.
@Komrade Kayce - Hero of Soviet Kotaku: Except that cell phones and anything with recording or picture taking capabilities is also illegal in classified rooms. So no cell phones at work either.
@Komrade Kayce - Hero of Soviet Kotaku: Cellphones are the first thing to be banned from high-security areas. I have to give mine up all the time when I go for PATRIOT exercises, and PATRIOT isn't even all that secret.

If 1999 gave us Dreamcast....
If 2009 gave us a prototype of Project Natal....
I say by 2020 this will be possible...graphics wise, not the surrounding fuck-your-eyeballs simulation.

What the hell does natal have to do with visual fidelity?
Wait until the the comes out to judge the level at which it changes ANYTHING.
