I guess there's nothing necessarily wrong with this, it's just that I prefer the simple core mechanics of a first-person shooter, in which the player runs around a shoots people.You like first person shooters, but don't like Mario because it's the same old stuff presented with occasional graphics improvements? That makes no sense. The game mechanics of shooters have remained basically the same since Doom!

OH MY GOD IT'S JAWS!
I'm in tonnes of pain today...
LOL WUTNo, my back, ribs, shoulder and pretty much all of my joints are playing me up. I have to go to the hospital again soon. That'll be the 3rd time this month!
Ahh... frezal and his sarcastic jokes...
I don't know. They say I probably have arthiritis and my joints are really flexible. They are so flexible that I can make every one of them click.I might have pulled a muscle in my back (again).

I think I read once that the sound of joints popping is made by the popping of little air bubbles embedded in your cartilage between the joints. When you pop your joint the bones come closer than they should and pop the little air bubbles. Which, consequentially, damages the cartilage and causes it to inflame and expand. Years of popping joints can result in very damaged cartilage and inevitable surgery. Though, as most chiropractors demonstrate, the occasional popping is not bad and keeps your cartilage "awake" or something like that. Frez, you are smart and stuff... disprove me if I am wrong.
Cavitation within the joint—small cavities of partial vacuum form in the fluid and then rapidly collapse, producing a sharp sound. This explains the popping that can occur in any joint, such as during spinal manipulation. Synovial fluid cavitation is the most likely theory and substantial evidence exists in support of it. Cracking knuckles releases gases from the joints.[2]Rapid stretching of ligaments.[1]Intra-articular (within-joint) adhesions being broken.[1]
I have a doctor, biologist and a Ig-nobel award that says that what you said is bullsh**.
