just need some quick responses
(bugger i accidently posted this in the wrong section could this be moved over to off topic? )
i am doing a Comparison between two factors for a school assignment my question is did gaming gear you towards joining the armed forced? in other words did Gaming make you want to join the armed forces - and you did (factors are Gaming/people joining the Armed Forces) i will then convert the results into a scatter graph (if you want i can post the final results once i have enough infomation) every answer do this question will be greatly appreciated! EDIT: or are you going to join the armed forces becuase you were influenced by Gaming it will be good to see if gaming does increase people signing up to the armed forces |

Re: just need some quick responses
TBH I'd actually say my interest in the armed forces is what got me interested in gaming.

Re: just need some quick responses
No offense, but if you join the military because of games or just because it's cool, you're pretty pathetic.
Anyway, I joined the military for my own personal reasons that are not related to gaming nor coolness at all. A man has to relax once in a while, so that's why I game  |

To deny all the qualities of a being is equivalent to denying the being itself. A being without qualities is one which cannot become an object of the mind, and such a being is virtually non-existent. European Combat Battalion <--Check out my clan! |

tbh i think alot of who are brought up with military FPS ect do probably gear towards a military job. i remember seeing somewhere some officers looking into gamers for future apache pilots. dunno what came from it.

From what I can tell from visiting my high school buddy at army bases, real life in the army is way, way different from any video game. You'd have to be an imbecile to think serving in the military would bear any resemblance to any experience you've had playing a game Edit: I would be pretty surprised if you found a single person who would say he/she joined the military because of a video game. A better approach might be to investigate how many people in the military play games and compare those rates with non-military people. And even then, if you really wanted to be accurate, you'd have to control for regional differences and demographic differences (i.e. rural midwesterners vs urban east/west coasters) | |
