"People are always arguing about whether they should call them 'Metroidvania' or 'search action' games." "Really? Well I can think of something even better to call all those games." "Yeah? What's that?" "Really boring!" "DOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO"

Yet, Ben Sasse and the @wsj.com seem to think that it is appropriate to double down on sacrificing American boys to the death sentence that is this sport. www.wsj.com/opinion/free...
