I simply find it ironic that a fixed wing jet pack of sorts exists in reality before it existed here as a costume item. |

But in a simulated game world it ought to be easier to draw a few random pixels than it apparently is to defy gravity in real life with carbon fiber "surfboard" strapped to your back.|
