Shoot, there goes productivity...

When alien archeologists land on the planet in a few thousand (or so) years and are exploring the ruins of our civilization, they'll be able to conclusively prove that our civilization ended not due to war, but likely because of a weather pattern.

Specifically, they'll say it was caused by something called Blizzard... now this probably SOUNDS like a rant about global warming or some such thing, but it's not. That will be an article for another day. No, the Blizzard I refer to is a Blizzard of unimaginable strength, a Blizzard of amazing power, a Blizzard of magnitude so great that nothing can trule withstand it, a man-made Blizzard... specifically, a Blizzard that every gamer in the world owed a lack of productivity too back around 1999 when they unleashed upon the world the forces of StarCraft.

Everyone thinks the dotBomb was caused by bad market planning, coupled with other overwhelming economic forces that culimnated in 2000 with the election of President Bush... but those are only part of the issue.

In the end, it really came down to the release of the expansion to StarCraft: Brood Wars. And now, it's going to happen again.

Don't believe me? Fine... click here.
