"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

A quick follow up to the GTA violence-level conversation; last night I had to (HAD TO!, I tell you) shotgun a guy who was in a car. While the graphics don't depict real wounds on the people, the mess that was left on the windshield was definitely unpleasant.

Kevin, I'll add you to my FL when I get the chance. Mine's 'The Sengir'.

Still haven't touched MP. I'm almost loath to until I finish the story in case anyone spoils me for it. I'm really enjoying flying blind through the tale.

Kevin, I've added you. My gamertag is Omnis Audis

Maybe I should change my motto from "Here to make you look good" to "cannon fodder".

I've always liked the term "ablative armor"

I prefer to call him Meat Puppet. Maybe that's just when he's working for me.

But I suck at other games, not just shooter ones. Oy, you should see me in the driving games! The walls on the course cringe when they see my gamertag log in.

You should try improving some time, omnis.

That's some pretty good advice there Sean.

"You know, I really suck at this."

"Well, my advice is, do it better."
