To quote my school's librarian: "You don't need to playing that Doom shooting game!"

[OB1]

Amen.

[Great Rumbler]

It was Half-Life, though. :D

ALL FPSes are Doom. Just like how into the mid '90s all consoles were Nintendos. And now they're all Playstations.

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, that's the way it is. Brand names become general use names for similar products.

#1 on that list is Band-Aid. I mean, does anyone call them 'sanitary bandages' or 'adhesive bandages' or something like that? :)

[Great Rumbler]

Nobody that I know of.

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah. I mean some people say 'Kleenex' and others 'tissue', or 'Xerox' or 'Photocopy', etc... but 'Band-Aid'? No one calls them anything else.

[OB1]

I call them "adhesive bandages with a gauze pad in the center, employed to protect minor wounds", or ABWAGPITCETPMW for short.

Except the french.

That's dumb.

[OB1]

No YOU are.

[Great Rumbler]

Oh yeah?! Well, your face is dumb!
