Okay. FMA stands for Full Metal Anorak. In case you're not from the UK,
an
anorak is a coat, kind of like a rain shell but I thinkg it's supposed
to be
nerdier. Certain gaming geeks are said to wear anoraks, much like the
stereotypical computer geek wears a pocket protector.

FMA is the trademark name for the Dirtside II and Stargrunt II game
systems.
