It's like these people have never been to a concert or something.
More than likely, they haven't. Otherwise they wouldn't have hauled their DS/PSP/miscellaneous expensive hardware into a pile of people who could possibly be rocking out pretty hard.
mc chris got a pretty solid response, mostly because he worked the crowd incredibly well.
However, how do you react to a band that plays video game themes? There's no lyrics, so some of the people were singing along to the guitar. One of my buddies flat out told me if he saw moshing we were out of there, only because of how ridiculous it would seem to watch a nerdfight with the Contra level one music as a soundtrack.
Having worked in a tech support and back end server dept for 5 years, you should know now that the development cycle on any project will be June-September, with a rollout by fall. Everything major must be completed then, and there may be time during the school year while keeping up with occuring bugs/problems/ornery faculty that you may work on what you've developed.
Most of the guys I worked with used the times school was in session to start fleshing out long-term product ideas and best approaches, so that they could implement and roll them out during break periods. Luckily, we were only providing a service for about 4000 students, so it was a bit more lax on rolling out potentially dangerous changes.
So the key point would be making changes is like trying to move a house with your bare hands. Good luck though!
