What I hate about most modern games is that they try to be arcadey and
shooty but they make you think.  If I want to think, I'll go and read
Plato or play Pontifex.  I play games because I want to have a blast.  That's
why Doom is good, Quake is less good, and all other FPSen are shit.  That's
why GTA is good, no thinking required, just drive around and run grandmothers
over.
