Then buzz it up

How are you doing today? How's your mood? Pretty good? Well tough shit, because we're about to hit you with one of the most depressing online games we think we've ever played in our entire lives - Stop Disasters.
Stop Disasters is, as you might have guessed, a disaster prevention simulator. When you start to play Stop Disasters you're faced with all kinds of terrifying scenarios - wildfire, earthquake, tsunami etc - and it's your job to make the necessary changes before disaster strikes. You can do this in many ways, by reinforcing the housing, building hospitals and schools to shelter and educate the population, planting special types of protective vegetation and so on - and then you sit back and watch a huge natural disaster destroy everything you've done and kill everyone in the game. We've played Stop Disasters several times already, and our lowest death-count is still 34 - still a shockingly large number. We suck and the world sucks. We'll be in our bunker if you need us.
