Great observation. I think there's something significant about the ravens as Valve always used an ASCII text bird in the 'tests' before the game was out. hmm....
Was the same with me, I heard about it on the radio on my way home from college then sat down at a computer to check out the news (before thinking to check the tv)...knew it was something major when CNN was inaccessible or refusing to load, then they just uploaded a really basic page which...
