"I jumped into the fray of an multiplayer World War II-themed game not as a combatant, but as a journalist, capturing photographs of the conflict instead of participating in the battles. The gameplay, for me, became a matter of documenting the action without putting my avatar at risk, hiding inside destroyed buildings and ducking behind piles of rubble as I took my photos." (Kent Shelley)
