The experience I have with messing around with computer hardware could be summed up with a single word: zero. So I'll just have to take your word for that :D
Also, I can't believe Desi decided to eat a hamburger in my game. He paid the iron price for that one.
This was going to happen eventually. Everything was building towards an insane arms race and I decided to set it off prematurely. It didn't help that I decided to speed things along by giving free guns to everyone. The only regret I have is how much freaking work it was sorting out all these items... the gameplay's freaking hilarious!
Also, there's a lot of behind-the-scenes scheming that even I don't have complete access to. That's part of what made today so lethal.
