In the Battalion game, you are a monster that shoots buildings or
walks into them to destroy them.  I think this is what he is talking about.

A while ago I worked with a guy who had worked at HP in their high-end
visualization group.  They had a very realistic driving simulator as a
way to demo their 3D cards.  Of course, the engineers modified it to
score points for running over pedestrians, etc.  They had to
consciously de-program themselves when they were about to leave for
the day and drive home.
