Error 37

(noun) The infamous error message displayed in the game Diablo 3 whenever a player is unable to login. The error is a result of Blizzard's servers being overloaded, resulting in a server crash. Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, decided to require people who spent $60 on their video game (should have only been $50, considering there are no licensing fees on pc) to be online even when they simply wanted to play the single player campaign.

Nerd 1: ERROR 37!!! WTF!!! I WAITED TEN YEARS TO PLAY THIS FUCKING GAME AND NOW I CAN'T BECAUSE YOU STUPID FUCKERS AT BLIZZARD MADE IT SO I CAN'T EVEN PLAY THE FUCKING GAME WITHOUT BEING CONNECTED TO YOUR STUPID FUCKING SERVERS THAT YOU HAD TO KNOW WHERE GONNA CRASH, BECAUSE THEY FUCKING CRASHED WHEN YOU DID THE FUCKING BETA!!! WTF!!!

Nerd 2: Yeah man, that sucks. That's why I bought Max Payne 3.
