Bio-Warriors and Implant Freaks

k-hell writes "There's a very interesting article on Anarchy Online's web site about a father's observations in watching his twelve year old daughter interact within the world of Anarchy Online. He tells that his daughter now knows, in very simple terms of course, what nanotechnology and implants are. He goes on and states: '..there is no denying that these games have certain integral qualities that very many so-called "educational games" lack.'"

I learned that eating big moving mushrooms can make me grow up to be big and strong, and that if I eat those big red pulsating flowers I can throw balls of fire!
