Bomblaster - Chrome Extension

Don't like 'bombastic' used to describe explosive games? Replace with 'bomblastic' on Polygon & Kotaku! Inspired by Triple Click.

Inspired by episode 88 of the podcast Triple Click where, about 37 minutes in, Jason Schreier complains about video game journalists' tendency to use "bombastic" to describe explosion-filled games, which is distant from its prior meaning about language and diction.

To be clear, this is a joke extension, but perhaps it can bring you joy by quietly changing a word and surprising you one day.
