They're not video gamers who dabble in comics or RPGs, or Trekkies who play a lot of WoW. No. They're just video gamers, and they want me to play Smash with them and stuff, and it's just not my thing, and then I'm just sitting there mashing buttons in case I can magically make something happen (as I once did with Tekken), and just falling off the edge forever and ever and ever. Respawn, repeat.
