The Abstract Exponent endorses Conan O’brien without equivocation.
Jay Leno was an apologist for idiotic and atrocious Bush policies for the duration of their administration, now he plays the victim.

The Abstract Exponent has been playing it for months and is not tired of it. The missions comprise a very unrealistic, glorified corridor shooter, but we can’t stop thinking of new ways to surprise the hell out of other players in Hardcore Team Deathmatch.
