While a lot of us are safe at home playing Call of Duty 4 on our game consoles, a sizable portion of the US military is overseas right now living it – but that doesn’t mean they aren’t gamers. There are tons of video game addicts in the military, and now there’s an organisation dedicated to getting them their fix. Created by military wife Stephanie Doctor Shea, whose own husband was just redeployed to Iraq, Games For Fun is an organisation that plans on raising money to supply our troops with video game goodness. She and partner Dana Blackman Brady believe that the comfort of video games will do our forces a world of good. “What they really appreciate over there is the true comforts of home,” Blackman Brady said. “The stress relief and the escapism involved in these games, we really think could be beneficial.”
