Hey duders, I'm trying to find a specific piece of an old Bombcast and Google isn't helping me. I'm hoping there are enough obsessive listeners with sharp memories out there that someone will be able to point me to it.
This was years ago, probably five years or so. Someone sent in an email describing how some game didn't work for his PC (or their friend's PC), and it turned out the problem was that they had something plugged in that controlled a remote rocket launcher. When they unplugged the rocket launcher device, the game suddenly ran fine.
I love the story because it seems like the perfect example of why devs can't possibly test for all PC configs when they're shipping a game. You can't possibly anticipate all the weird things that people are doing with them and where conflicts like that might show up. But I'd love to be able to point to the actual Bombcast bit with a timestamp rather than rely on my own hazy recollection of the details when I'm relaying the story.
Any help is appreciated! :-)
