As soon as people started calling staples of the FPS genre "boomer shooters," I knew it was over.

    That never made sense to me, since Boomers by and large weren't the ones playing games then.

    Boomer is shorthand for "old". Accuracy is not a requirement for a snappy genre title.

    Is it called a "boomer shooter" because it has exploding barrels (or other things) you can shoot?
