Some people are very upset about how this year's San Diego Comic-Con hotel sale went. But should they be?

Getting a hotel room for Comic-con is a physical and mental race against the clock. You need to have Nolan Ryan's fastball, Ronda Rousey's reflexes and Edward Snowden's keyboard skills. It's the ultimate test of nerves for nerds. But some may wonder, just how short IS the window to get a room downtown?

As I write this, the hotel situation for this year's San Diego Comic-Con remains in flux. Open hotel registration—which is in effect a lottery based on hand and browser speed—took place yesterday morning, and it was a tense, tense 10 minutes with confirmation emails yet to go out. Hours of training, both physical and mental, memorizing maps and testing internet speed were all for nought for a bunch of folks—the Beat included—because the website suffered some kind of hitch. Tony Kim has a sad account, backed up by many on Twitter. As the world collectively hit the refresh button at high noon EDT, 9 am PDT, the hotel selection form froze up and then sent you to the "Congrats, wait for your email" screen. That's what happened here. I got the first screen, clicked on some hotels hit return, got kicked out and then sat there in confusion and dread and then went back in. The second time it worked but by then four minutes had passed, four precious, precious minutes, and downtown hotels are usually gone long before that to people with better autofill speeds.
