Anyone else picture what it looks like behind the scenes...

... when nearing a major patch?

Maybe I just an over-active imagination, but I always imagine what the devs might be doing in the final moments of a patch before release.

Possible scenario: Red alarm lights flashing, and people scurrying about provide the backdrop to Yoshi screaming at an intern in a coffee stained shirt to bring him some more coffee that doesn't taste like yak piss. Everyone's normally pressed white shirts shirts are sweat-stained and disheveled, and papers are flying about the room as people frantically search for a solution to the patch not being anywhere close to ready. All the while an ominous countdown repeats endlessly in a gentle yet firm female voice, "Attention! Patch goes live in t-minus 15 minutes. Installation must be complete or total system failure will occur."

Scenario two: Yoshi-P and Foxclon are sitting around in a darkened room with a big green button in front of them that reads "On." A mostly empty bottle of sake is on the table and the two are having a giggling fit while Yoshi is drunkenly explaining to F for the 10th time that the patch has been ready to go live for hours, he just enjoys watching the little people squirm on the forums.

Gah, the "yak piss" had me busting up!

But no really they're probably laying on their stomachs on a bed with one leg bent, supporting their body with their elbows and fixing whatever is to be fixed before launch.

That or your second scenario. xD
