Okay, stupid question here. Today my two friends, aforce and msm were arguing over what RPG means. I told both of them that RPG stands for role playing game but only aforce believed me. I guess it can mean both but what is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of it?

Same thing for fps:
--feet per second
--first person shooter
--Federal Protective Service
--frames per second

It stands for both, though with games I usually see it 'RPG'. Really, though, it's just a matter of your personal context as to which comes first; soldiers, military buffs, etc. will think of Rocket Propelled Grenade, and nerds, gamers, etc. will think Role Playing Game. In this case, I also think most people will be primed to think game over grenade, as Minecraft is a fantasy game, much like typical RPGs.

Am I really the only one who thinks rocket? Wow...
But that's probably just because I watch action war-ish movies and play Call of Duty a lot. I don't really do rpg games a lot, besides Minecraft. I'm more of a small skirmish battle person like COD online and SC2.

I'm sorry, but I cannot vote after reading the forums, because both answers are indeed correct, and this time I'm making sure that they are before I hit the post button. Yep... Role playing game, and Rocket Propelled Grenade are both valuable answers...
Now hand me the damage die so I can calculate how much that propelled grenade hurt me by...

I understand what you mean but the question is what comes to your mind first.
