Head Tale

I never got into role playing games like many of my friends from elementary school did.  (In fact, the first time I was invited to play D&D at a friend's house in grade five or six, I got into a fistfight and bloodied another guy's nose!  After that, rolling a D20 to determine if you hit someone is a bit of an anti-climax. )

One game that held my friends in particular thrall was called Shadowrun (which I think they still play to this day.)  This game is set a few decades in the future and contains themes of cyber-warfare, techo-terrorism and corporate vs. government power.

This game is fictional.  But recent news stories about the cyber-battles between the world's largest country and one of the world's largest corporations make you wonder how long until that's no longer the case?
