    This just in. More people playing Forza 3 than racing in all Professional level racing combined.

    Breaking news. More people in military than not in military.

      Heh, not with the way things are going in the government and how they're trying to get fewer soldiers out there! . . . Of course, not much of the government nowadays makes sense, so who know!

      I would say I agree with ruledbysecrecy up there, but I think (s)he got that "breaking news" part mixed up hahaha

      Indeed . . . Personally I've no desire to play. But I think people are spreading news of it so much, for fear that if it's not getting attention then more people will start to not like the series! Then the "coolness" factor will begin to wear off!

      Apparently it is.

      There are more people who would rather simulate warfare than actually go to war.

      Go figure.

    Wow, there are more people in the world who are willing to fight a war from in front of a television screen in the comforts of their own home than to do it in a mountainous country in the other side of the world ?

    WHAT A SHOCKER.
