QFT.

That said, I have yet to not be sick when I return from a show. The degree of sick always varies (though it's a constant for GDC, oddly enough), but it's a guarantee.

OH WELL THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.

Seriously, I would have been pretty freaking concerned if E3 was even DELAYED due to a hint of the oh-so-deadly swine flu.

Always read posts before commenting to make sure you don't miss any irony.
But this seemed dripping with sarcasm to me anyway.

Linky by the same guy as http://isitchristmas.com/ ?

Riight well everyone now knows that the swine flu really isn't that bad and the only reason people died from it(well maybe not the only one) was because the people who got it in mexixo were too poor to get proper medical treatment and died.

At least you havent become a zombie. So remember to bring a few weapons can't ever be sure when the first Zombie mutates and attacks you.

That's Hakkar, the final boss of Zul'Gurub, from Vanilla WoW. He was the source of the Corrupted Blood outbreak a couple years back. Very fitting picture :p

swine flu not so deadly more people die every month from vending machines then the total deaths of swine flu 3000 people die every year from the regular flu that almost 100 people a day and currently the same number of people have died from swine flu as snorting fire ants
and only people to die were a 23 month old mexican baby and an extreamly ill woman who had like aids or something

Oh noez!!!
Well, not really. I live in a fairly isolated country that has had no cases of swine flu hus far.
Personally I am still shaking in my metaphorical boots about SARS and avian flu becuase the media circus never actually left town on those, it just settled down after people realised that apocalyptia may not actually be the result if it is properly contained.

E3 goes ahead, media sensationalise, the planet goes around the sun. Any more incredible social commentaries to make?

The boss that massacred several servers full of characters. He puts out a debuff that makes one person take a bit of damage every 2 seconds for 20 seconds but was generaly not lethal as you as your healer has half a brain but every time it does damage, it spreads to nearby targets who get a new debuff which can then re-infect the first person resulting in a neverending chain of players taking damage that either overwhelm the healer or cause him to run out of mana. Some players found out that if they dismissed their pet after it was hit, the time would be stopped and the pet could be resummoned in anothe place and be contageous there. They released those pets in Ironforge and Orgrimmar, which had half the population of the game standing at any given time back then, resulting in the effect spreading like wildfire. Level 60 characters would generaly survive for a while but everything below lvl 40 was inevitably killed off quickly. So whe they ressurected, they got infected again by people running arround like headless chickens and again and again, resulting in Hakkar temporay hogging the first spot of "most players killed by an npc" away from Defias Pillagers(high power lvl 15 creaure in a lvl 10 area) and Vaelazstraz The Corrupt(A bossfight that was over in 180 seconds, one way or another).
