Hi Hayden, Lol! No, not hardly. One reason I used w is that in the tomb raider games the draw/holster command was on the spacebar and fire was on the control key. I personally found that slightly confusing as I'd often press space to fire, which is what I'm use too, and end up killing Lara Croft si
