Sorry but I call bullsh**. That or a severe lack of humility and humor, where you feel the need to attack someones lighthearted attempt to make people laugh.

It's like making an alzheimers joke "learn something new every day" for example. I have an aunt with alzheimers, but even SHE would laugh at that one.

That said, I think its hilarious synchronous. Those sims pics are to a tee haha.

So any comments, kids?

For those of you that don't know what's going on basically DirectX 11 is so realistic that playing a game such as ARMA II or Modern Warfare 2 causes PTSD, a common side-effect of being in real life wars. Symptoms of PTSD include what the Sims are going through in the bottom images (being scared, stress vomiting and insomnia).

It is impossible to get PTSD from a game.

Obviously you and everyone else that has claimed PTSD from a game has never been a combat veteran [read actual war, not some game].

Momentary game scares, game stress, vomiting, and insomnia are not PTSD nor are those reactions to a game PTSD.

I am a war veteran and was in combat situations at least 100 times and I have been diagnosed with PTSD. Prior to the diagnosis I had never heard of PTSD, however, while in the hospital and through further therapy I learned what PTSD is and what causes it.

I do not wish to discuss this further or answer questions concerning combat because I do not want to relive it, and it is personal, so, do not ask me any questions related to my war experiences. Real combat veterans will understand this statement and the reasons why.

I have played all kinds of games, and some were scary at moments. DX11 does not equate scary, good game code does.

I will add that it is probably not a good idea for a combat veteran to play games filled with blood and guts.

Sorry for the late reply. I guess the system doesn't notify you of replies to one of your posts in the Matrix.

Anyways, it's a joke, dude. I meant no offense, I don't claim that games cause PTSD (thinking such a thing is flat-out stupid) and I don't claim to have some intimate knowledge of what it is and what causes it.

You completely misconstrued what is simply a stupid joke for a very stupid contest. But I suppose I shouldn't hold that to you considering what you just shared.
