"Today," said Yukari, "we're going to be learning about FPSs, or first person shooters to the lame non-gamer. And that title is pretty self-explanatory, isn't it? The point-of-view is your own, therefore 'first person' and you shoot at things, therefore shooter! And while the thought occurred to me that we could do something like a field trip to a laser tag arena or something like that to sort of bring the feel of an FPS to real life, the whole point of this course is that real life is boring and pedestrian, but video games are awesome and great! So that definitely wasn't going to cut it, especially not when we can bring the FPS to us and make it way cooler!"

By literally just making the danger shop into a laser tag arena. But with cooler guns! And helmets! And monsters to shoot instead of your classmates!

Well, you could still shoot your classmates. "That," Yukari explained cheerfully, "is called friendly fire! Because you're all on the same team, so try and help each other instead just sniping someone because they wouldn't let you copy your notes from another class or totally kicked your butt during one of those things they do in the park every week.

"So, gear up, we'll do a quick tutorial lesson, and then let's get shooting!"

Look, FPSs aren't that complicated from the onset, and, as much as they could be a good release for pent-up rage (not that she had any of that!), Yukari didn't play them as much, so this was going to be pretty quick and swift so you could just get to running around shooting things.

There was an interesting cackle that might seem vaguely unsettling whenever she managed to show off a good sniper shot, though.

Monsters, mazes, sets and settings are all completely moddable! Have fun, team up with your buddies to shoot some bad guys, go rogue and shoot your classmates, find a spot to camp and do nothing, or keep dying and respawning in the worst places! The world is your shooty fun time oyster!

Oh no. Oh no Yukari, why would you do this? Why would you give Navaan a gun and then let her go mad with power?

You did this, all blame lies upon your head.

Please no one ever give this woman a real gun.
