    It was broke and he bought me MW2 to compensate, which was worth more. I can't complain.

    It can be fun...one of my projects was to essentially build a small processor from scratch....for once I understood what's going on in the photos that they show you of the newest processors, magnified.

    Knowing how the CPU is built, interprets instructions and all, and then going up one level to asm, then looking at the compiler (asm to bin is pretty darn simple) is even better....then if you're really in for a thrill, write something like an interpreter. It's all fun, and quite a learning experience, as you come to appreciate how C code translates into binary code specific to each CPU architecture.
