Crazy happy, that is. That thing was INSANE. ... and INSANELY FUN while it lasted. We all knew it would go.

They nerfed the Deagle? Really? Damn it, now I have to go start up an online petition to the Obama Administration demanding the blocking of CS:GO's downloading through Steam, until VALVe meets our demands to buff the Deagle back to its original fun levels again! And I'll make sure to address the president as "Mr. Obama" as well as add in random grammatical errors to make the message more personal and "human sounding-ish."

Grrrr!
