To be honest, anything less than physically coming round to my house, telling me the news, then making me a brew and doing a spot of tidying up is a Slap In The Face.
Ah, the ole 'post-it over the optical mouse eye' gag. One of my favorites. I had to save our last mouse from being thrown across the house after I pulled a similar prank on my lady.
Good times.
Annoying...I hate twitter, I dont use Facebook or Myspace, -hunkers in his cave-

I delete more 50s, then you'll ever have.

How does anybody fall for this prank for more than 2 seconds? My mouse periodically doesn't work when I start up my computer (it's kinda cheap like that), and every time it happens the first thing I do is turn the mouse over to see if the LED is on.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Just the other day a lady came to tell me she couldn't watch a short video because the sound wasn't working. When I went to look I saw that her speakers were not turned on. So, never underestimate the ability of people to completely miss the obvious.
Came to snark, laughed instead! Thanks OP
I get annoyed when support people ask me "is it plugged in and turned on?", but I do understand that they really really have to ask. 
Dec out.
I once got my mouse stickered by a coworker and didn't figure it out for a few minutes. In my defense, that computer had a history of periodically forgetting it had a mouse.
To add insult to injury, he had written "I just lost The Game" on the sticker.

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

Well, it only took him about 30 seconds, but there was definitely some mouse on desk action.
I'll have to repeat the experiment a couple times before I can make any conclusions...
I fear these shennigans have set back development.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, sure! War Witch has time to put Post-Its on everyone's mice but not to design a Moon Zone?
Lazy!

Worst call I ever got was from a nurse at home- her laptop would not dial into the system. After about 30 minutes of troubleshooting everything I could think of and she was still not getting a dialtone, I just stopped for a moment and asked how many phone lines she had..|

"well 1 of course"
"Ma'am are you calling me on the same line the modem is trying to dial out on...."
"Oh......"
I actually banged my head into the wall several times after that.

1. Most people are really stupid.
2. Even those who aren't stupid act like it a lot of the time.
Dec out.

It's already done, but we'll have to wait for I-25 to see it.

It seems once again, extremely important information concerning what the Paragon Studios devteam is up to has been posted on Twitter, and nowhere else.
This is a slap to the face to all the loyal fans who *deserve* to have this sort of infomation posted on the forums, or even better, sent to their CoH ingame mail.
