Hey, did you hear it? The cries of hundreds of thousands of people. The outpouring of pure anguish and heartfelt pain. Ten hours of panic and confusion and fear.
What is it? An earthquake? Volcano? Tsunami? Hurricane? Forest fires?
Has Al Qaeda launched another terror attack? More planes down in fields and city centres? Tube trains full of smoke and flying nails and death?
Whatever it was it moved thousands of people to move from their couches and post over and over on message boards and forums around the world. To rave in anger and rage. Were they railing against a corrupt government who finally overstepped a line? An evil oppressor? Genocide? Misappropriated relief supplies leaving millions starving?
Whatever it was, it must've been pretty bad, yeah?
I know four people who were personally affected. I, myself, was a victim this terrible day.
Were you affected? Let's hear your story. How did you cope? What did you do on May 17th 2007...
The Day The Halo 3 Beta Download Button Didn't Work on Crackdown.
Sometimes the people I share my hobby with make me want to turn off, unplug, and never come back. Thank you Bungie, MS and Realtime Worlds for letting me share in your free public beta.

Just one example of the kind of crap I am talking about here:
1-up.com I am disappointed. Even the article is ridiculously overblown, and the comments... ack.
