That's the running joke with a buddy of mine when $GAME_WE_WANT_TO_PLAY isn't working: "awww, shit, Halo matchmaking is broken. What are we going to do now, spend time with our families?" But it's only a joke. If someone is in tears over it, it's a great teachable moment for parents. "Worst Christmas ever"? "Okay, kids, today we're going to learn about 'perspective'. Grab your shit, because we're heading down to the homeless shelter to drop off clothes and spoon up some soup."
