Like myself. Thanks, 'pronoiac!

EDIT:

I started thinking why do I pretty much always check HN comments first. Besides the obvious "HN comments often far outclass the original link", I came up with another reason - when I open HN, I usually skim the frontpage while quickly firing up comments for each interesting submission in a separate tab. Opening comment threads instead of submission links ensure that each new tab is a lightweight bookmark, with predictable loading time, close to zero resource consumption, and no bullshit like autoplaying video ads.

I've used this in the past to see how AAA games implement various graphic effects. It lets me see the textures, shader's and building of the various buffers (back, depth, etc) for an individual frame of the game. This is a great tool for learning exactly how games are put together graphically.

Extract assets -- might be easier to do it by intercepting OpenGL calls than by reverse engineering some proprietary binary format.

Edit: There are entire online communities dedicated to pulling assets out of old games, for who knows what reasons. A buddy of mine from school would spend entire weekends dumping assets from classic GameCube titles -- he would occasionally render up scenes from old Zelda games with global illumination and fancy material shaders, which were always kind of cool.

Debugging would be my first guess.
