The opening scene in the latest episode featured Jesse pretending to play Rage with some sort of fake gun peripheral that doesn&#8217;t have the courtesy to superimpose a reticle over the canned footage that passes for gameplay.  Meanwhile, the character supposedly relates the gameplay to his own misdeeds involving a gun.  Shooters, man.
