well, it's more or less finalized. just a few things to do, server side. click on the image to see a video and more. you can also go here.
here's an excerpt from a description i wrote about it:
"I was in the Marines for a couple of years. I trained to be a machine-gunner in the infantry, but halfway through I woke-up to the reality of my situation. I realized what I was allowing myself to be used for and decided that I couldn't live with that, so I sought a discharge. I am not a violent person, but I have seen within myself the capacity for an unthinking violence that both scares and fascinates me. Violence is one of the heritages of humanity. This game acts as a window for me (and others) to approach this capacity in a socially and physically safe manner.
To underline this ludicrous but seductive dynamic, I modified the existing game so that the rounds continue almost indefinitely, the environment never changes. Both models, the terrorist and the counter-terrorist are wearing me, they embody me as a player of the game. It is not about me fighting myself, it is about seeing myself (ourselves) reflected in this perpetual cycle of violence. One that is as repulsive as it is fascinating."
