On a more light-hearted note...

As to why the weekend that came before the Week of Suck was awesome:

It was even larger and creamier than it looks. And the venue was a giant ball pit. With a giant screen so we could play some pony and throw balls at the bad guys. I'm not even kidding.

I guess the following week was sort of allowed to suck a little, to even things out, even though it clearly pushed the boundaries.
