This is another reference I would have added to my talk yesterday, but I ran out of time in the morning. It's a computer game, sure, but the players are not playing in a virtual environment. It's real. " The game's real-scale model occupies a 180 square meter (1,938 sq. ft) basement of a residential building in the Ukraine city of Brovary, just 150 km (93 miles) from the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and 30 km east of Kiev.... 'It's a really neat concept ...,' Shaun Prescott wrote in a review of the game published by PC Gamer magazine in January. 'Controlling the tanks is kinda cumbersome, but they are tanks, after all.'"
