I must agree with you. I browse the web on my phone a lot, and the only website where I want to use the mobile version is wikipedia. And even then, I need to switch back to the desktop view at times.

From the perspective of a guy who loves multiplayer FPS, I think there's never been a better time to be an FPS fan. FPS games hardly ever die out entirely, and they can be played over the internet with anyone else in the world who happens
