Ooh, sure, it's one thing to blow a few polygons to pixels with an encapsulated plasma beam, but when it comes right down to it, have you killed a man with your bare hands??? Have you locked your hands around his throat, fought off the spasmodic kicking made ten times as strong as normal by adrenaline, looked into his eyes and cracked his spine? Huh? Have you? Have you put down an entire trenchload of Charlies with nothing but your garotte wire and a pistol with an empty magazine? Have you stared death in the face, and spat on it?
Well? HAVE YOU, punk???
