I definitely remember reveal day pretty vividly. I had already soured on it by then, but I still watched anyway, some of the leaks suggested it was going to be pretty stupid looking. Could not have possibly prepared for what drove out on stage... apparently ketamine is a hell of a drug, I guess.

Watching the crowd reaction, even the fanniest fanboys had a hard time not making the "who farted?" face. They really had to start stretching to prepare to jump through the hoops necessary to continue being fans, many didn't manage.
