it kinda went full retard when
one guy
in ONE evening
"A-team's" it up and using random parts and a HOT GLUE GUN
builds a PLATOON's worth of weapons that fire "Focused Energy Pulses"
so SPACE LASERS
and a BIGGER bada-boom space CANNON(and thank god he didn't go proprietary with those connectors and battery packs huh?)
oh and cool new space ARMOR that we'll put on in slo-motion
and new space armor HELMETS
... complete with pretty lights holographic crosshairs etc etc
no really in one evening he advanced technology to Call of Duty Infinite Warfare with a hot glue gun. dude wrote the code himself.
