      In addition to my first grenade kill ever (well, I mean in the game), I got accused of cheating. […] I think what prompted it was a round where I went absolutely fuckin' Ghengis with the noob cannon. I was brought down in a hail of small-caliber gunfire, but only after splattering 5 separate crania with 00 buck.
