You can get flight trackers with wx radar/satalite derived data on the plot so you can have a guess if a front is going to hit before the aircraft gets in.

Pretty usefull as far as I can tell. The only time I saw it anger diverts were getting picked up and organised before any phone calls came in. Basically as soon as the aircraft pointed away from the hold the buses were arranged and ground handling informed.

And an Xbox plugged into the large screen in ops on a winters sunday afternoon with a couple of aircraft in the air in CAVOK isn't unheard of.

Last time I saw it LMC was getting a right kicking off crewing in mortal combat. Although to be fair crewing was cheating by destracting LMC wearing a vesty top and jiggling.
