The idea of LARPing I totally jive with, but not that casual kind you
most often see/hear about. Something like the SCA was always a bit
more my cup of tea; it aimed for more accuracy and less running around
screaming. Hell, for many the ultimate video-gamer's dream is a Star
Trek holodeck, and that's just LARP taken to a high-tech extreme. The
problem isn't the LARP, it's that we haven't the ability yet to do it
convincingly. ;-)

But those kids seem to be having fun, so who am I to judge?
