MrB I invented modding! Registered: 08/28/03 Posts: 6396 Loc: SE Kansas	I had to get the app. To check out the targets The question is do the targets look like caskets. Well, to the extent that caskets look like the human body in rough form. Lots of games have lot more human realistic look. Many targets have real people on them with animation . At least from what I've seen in ads. I don't get shoot Em up Aps Dave _________________________ There are 10 kinds of people. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 8323 Loc: Miami, Fl.	Lots of games do have more realistic animation. I know. I play one every night. Call of Duty 4. But the point here is this a game released by the NRA with timing that couldn't be more callous and unthinking. NRA President Wayne Lapierre's comments drawing a connection between video game violence and real-life violence have raised the issue of whether the NRA app is hypocritical. So, being hypocritical isn't reason enough to pull the app, but that doesn't stop it from being tasteless and hypocritical. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== It appears that autocorrect has become my worst enema. ---

And a level of detached callousness that is staggering. _________________________

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 8323 Loc: Miami, Fl.	And it was released exactly 1 month to the day of the school shooting. It's all the little things that add up to a negative impact. At least for me. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== It appears that autocorrect has become my worst enema. ---
