Pretty good. Here's mine:

1. Game developer releases teaser trailer.
2. Forums explode! Wild speculation, insane gameplay expectations, wildly complicated "idea" threads, 10,000-word posts about the potential storyline!
3. Things calm down.
4. Game developer releases content about possible features.
5. Forums explode! Raging flamewars, irrationally confident fans and haters clash, fans who posted under number 2 complain that their idea has not been implemented, passionate fans defend game developer's decision, and trolls take advantage of the mayhem to pour fuel on the fire!
6. Things calm down.
7. Repeat steps 2-6 until launch.
8. Launch.
9. Repeat steps 5-6.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC
