…. VR simulation, and the experience changed how I understand the bomb "Nuking the city of New York was terrifyingly easy and disturbingly informative. From the bank of the Hudson River in Hoboken, New Jersey, while gazing out at the Manhattan skyline, I simply moved my hand over a giant red button, and then pushed it in. A bright white flash temporarily blinded me. About half a second later, a deafening blast akin to 1,000 thunderclaps pounded my ears. Next came an ominous and murmuring roar: the audible lingering aftermath of the nuclear explosion. The noise bounced around the area for what seemed like an eternity, yet was no more than a minute…."

As long as you're on a roll take out LA too. |

How many do you have? I've got a list around here somewhere. |

I'd prefer we not nuke DC, it'd be such a waste to lose the museums. The population, however… |

So wait. It was terrifyingly easy (because it's just a VR simulation) and an unspeakable horror, and he went ahead and did it again?!? |

I'm so glad everyone finds killing tens of millions of people funny. |

I suppose it's a good thing researchers haven't found a connection between violent video games and mass killing sprees? I find it disturbing that this early into VR applications someone came up with this one. |

I'm with Pan on this. Good thing the DC museums keep me from the wrath of some posters. |

Oh come on guys. You must have a pretty low opinion of humans in general if you think any of the above comments were meant to be taken seriously. People have always had a fascination with "the end" because it's a mystery, and people just love mysteries. If you can't poke a little fun at it, life would be an even more miserable experience than it already is. My two cents, and worth every penny you spent on it. |

Man, some people are wound pretty tight. Chicago'd be on my list, since Detroit already is pretty much a wasteland due to an own goal. |

Nuking cities today, don't ask what they'll be using it for tomorrow. |

A propos to this conversation: YouTube link I remember when Nukemap launched as a web application. I immediately nuked my junior high school. It was fun. |

It's called morbid humor. It's not exactly a recent invention. Lighten up folks. |

I'd prefer we not nuke DC, it'd be such a waste to lose the museums. This is why God gave us the neutron bomb. |
