The comment the <strong>Family</strong><strong>Friendly</strong> <strong>Gam<strong>in</strong>g</strong> team keptmak<strong>in</strong>g was: “oh look anotherbor<strong>in</strong>g war game, that has neverbeen done before.” Yes it wasdripp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> sarcasm. Can youreally blame them though? Allof that time and money spenton attend<strong>in</strong>g just to be ignored.The macabre and the morbidwas worshiped at those pressconferences.
