Derrrrrr - people who don't check their sources

Great story from PC Gamer magazine:
ITV documentary can�t tell the difference between gaming and reality; mistakes Arma 2 for secret IRA film
Here�s an upload of a video from a recent ITV documentary into Colonel Gaddhafi�s support of the IRA. It contains shocking footage of a helicopter being shot down using weapons allegedly supplied by that baddie.

Except. Umm. It�s actually ArmA 2.

Words. Fail. What. How. For goodness sake. UK media, can you stop being shit please.

If you�re looking for the footage in the documentary in the ITV player � it�s online here. The footage is in place from 28 minutes, 20 seconds.
Links to the video in the source article. Unh... You have to be a special kind of stupid to not be able to tell the difference between a video game and real-life footage. The video game is aliased but has a lot clearer points of view and steadier camera. The game ArmA 2 website is here Talk about great advertising... Posted by DaveH at September 27, 2011 6:00 PM
