terrorists used its popular Flight Simulator game to help plan the attacks. Recent versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator include realistic city landmarks, including the World Trade Center in New York, and sensationalistic news reports have included footage of the software simulating the pilot's view of one of last week's doomed flights.

Toy manufacturers have long enabled small children to simulate battles using army men, vehicles, and even toy guns!!

Shocking, but true

lol, i doubt the terrorists will start hiring hydralisk mercenaries anytime soon. It'd be cool if the protoss comes over and vaporize those terrorist camps from space just like they did to planet Char when the zergs are infesting it. wait a min.. jih how come you're not in the SC tourney that's been going on?? Check the games forum.
