Yes, smiling in disgust. I remember when lamers like Gamespot TV regularly
called them "First Person Shooters." Now they're supposed to be "shooters."
Well, back to my pondering the extremely dark age of evil we're entering

2D shooter fans. I think I'll be picking up GW2 real soon and savoring Mars
Matrix next month. Better enjoy it while it lasts.
