MEMPHIS (AP): Today between roughly 1 PM and 2 PM PST, United States productivity levels jumped 58% due to a suspension of ability to read, post, and spam the world famous "www.Neo-Geo.com" website. Apparent technical difficulties resulted in roughly one hour of inaccessibility to the famed last resort of 2D gaming, causing initial mass hysteria and eventual devotion of resources to actual work related tasks.
Mused internet tough guy EvilWasabi: "I had no idea what the hell I was going to do with myself. I just started wondering who I was going to insult/ban/do lewd acts to. I asked myself: 'What would FatGuy do in this situation.' But I realized I couldn't get on-line to ask him!! I'm so glad it's over."
Site operator Shawn McClesky had mixed feelings. "Yeah, the NeoStore took a hit, but at least I didn't have to read any silverslug or DashK posts for awhile. I'm debating whether to actually cause random site shutdowns just to add to teh drama. I love teh drama. In fact, I *heart* teh drama."
Another unforseen outcome was a monumental surge in good will around the globe as many of the downtrodden groups such as "teh gh3ys", port lovers, ROMsZs whores, and the like were given an hour of life with no insults. NG.com member Kenny Boy used this time away from self-defense to purchase several new shades of flourescent colors and clean out Target's Michigan stock of cutting boards.
Now that the site is back on-line, work levels are slowly returning to normal and the psyches of many "retrogamers" is settling back into baseline levels.
