Out of the many comments I received about the most recent version, there were still some lacking areas.

  By now, people’s grasp as a whole has grown quite a bit I feel and I think that this time does not warrant a full-fledged tutorial (also, my lack of time doesn’t help either).

It made me want a McGriddle.

  Lets make one…
