but wasn't the name coined by the retarded marines? They could have called it Sandwichtainium if they wanted.

It was perfectly obtainable to the big bluefolk who werent n00bs while exploring the forests of Pandora.

Yes, but James Cameron controlled the thoughts of all the space marines. One of the worst names for anything ever.

Agreed. Nothing justifies paying this much for a video game. I don't care if there's only one in existence; it's a piece of f*cking plastic.

Don't be silly. Marines don't think.
