British Government Recruiting Gamers
By: Ryan Geddes
For: IGN
Fancy taking on James Bond and working on top-secret missions for the Ministry of Defense? The British Government is eyeing up games players as the potential special agents of tomorrow.
That's right, the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory - an arm of the MoD - is targeting gamers with a new print advertising campaign in UK games magazines. The ad shows a city under siege from UFOs and the caption: 'You're already a dab hand at analyzing scenarios in the gaming world. But how would you fare in real life, with real lives at stake?'
It's hoped that the campaign will find the 'most unusual minds' in the country to provide solutions for defense and security problems. So far the ads have generated 150 responses of a 'very high caliber', according to a DSTL spokeswoman.

If the terrorists can be stopped through some combination of crate stacking or smashing this will all be worth it.

Finally the Brits have caught up with the Americans. Just take back those damn Puritans and we can go ahead and win, then Scotland can be the 51st state. Deal?

Centauri: Well, you may have thought it was a game, but it was also a test. Aha, a test! Sent out across the galaxy to find those with the potential to be Starfighters. And here you are, my boy! Here you are!
Alex Rogan: Right, here I am, about to be killed!
Centauri: Killed! You don't really think it's dangerous, do you? Don't be silly! Trust me!

Its been working for years. The previous generation of British secret agents have kept the country safe from having barrels dropped on it by angry gorillas.

They should nerf death blossom. It's way overpowered, practically an I Win button.
