People arguing with the video without having watched it lmao

I have watched the video. I think it's Stuart's worst.

The thesis statement is more like "We now call Doom an FPS, but that term really didn't come about until Half Life, so what did they call Doom at the time?" Which would have been a quick aside in another video, but here it's the whole thing. I don't think there's enough meat there for a whole video, and the "obviously, but what I'm really getting at is..." title isn't great.

Given a choice, I'm going to rewatch Chicken-o-meter instead of this video.
