That thought occurring to me, no one else was doing that. That isn't a standard testing practice of, how can I leak memory from the game?

"What I ended up doing was: I went into the console and gave myself a billion experience, which put me at, like, level 247. And I walked around with the unique nuke launcher that launched two, and then gave it the add-on that made each nuke launch 10 nukes. So I was running around super-nuking the entire wasteland and found four crashes in a single morning."

The best part? "Back in those days, that would send out an email blast to the entire Zenimax Media company," McInerney says. "So, like, Robert Altman was getting emails that somebody found four crashes in a single morning. I would love to see an AI do my job. I am professionally stupid in a way that a machine could not even dream of."

This is how I play the game normally. I had no idea it wasn’t typical.

I've been binging Top Gear all day, but I don't know what that means, lol

Amateur! I am getting a crash at least twice per hour of game play...
