Hard Reset is a self-described old school sci-fi FPS.

We all pick on Austin, and I mean we all pick on Austin. He is usually a very good sport about it and I hope he realizes that if we did not pick on him then we would not care about him. To be fair though, he asks for it. If you think my jokes are bad, try talking to Austin about anything; it will almost always end in a poop joke that makes about as much sense as Kingdom Hearts.
