You know that mysterious comment in the codebase that says "// DO NOT REMOVE" with absolutely zero explanation? Yeah, turns out it's the only thing holding the entire application together like Superman stopping a train. Remove it and watch everything collapse into a spectacular disaster.

We'd clear the screen and a single line would print out, something like "EMM386 Memory manager error. Blah blah blah." We had to ship ASAP. So I hex edited the error in the memory manager itself to read "Thank you for playing Wing Commander!" Written 21 Oct, 2012. 86,862 views.
