Weekend Investigation: Scores of Hive Community Members Report Injuries After Listening To The Rising Star Game Music.

This weekend we investigate complaints made to us over the plague of injuries that resulted in people trying to turn off the music on the Hive Second Layer Game Rising Star. Reports suggest there are many people injured trying to find a way to turn off the "Illegal Busking" song when they first go into the game.

Johan from Poland tells his story.
"My ears just started bleeding" said Johan who suffered from a burst ear drum.
"And I couldn't find a way to turn off the music."
"I ended up collapsing with the pain and blacked out."
"My mother, god bless her, came in and saw me on the ground and called the ambulance."
"She grabbed the desktop computer and threw it out the window so the music would stop."
"I would be dead if it wasn't for her."

Vinnie from Lagos was another unfortunate victim.
He is suffering from some kind of mental illness after hearing the song.
He keeps uttering the words over over
"Hey Mister don't you know that I'm gonna be BIG SOME DAY,"
"We ended up bringing him to the mental hospital."
"He is now in a straight jacket where he cannot do anymore harm to himself."
"The clinical psychologists are trying to find out who this mister is that he is referring to."

Michael from California decided to add the song "Illegal Busking" to his busking repertoire because he thought the tune was catchy and he could pass it off as his own.
Normally Michael who is a happy go lucky surfer that lives out of a VW camper does a little busking so he can have a nice meal. As soon as he started playing the song, many dogs started howling in the neighbourhood and he was savagely attacked by a Rottweiler and a Bichon Frise.
"It was an awful racket," woofed Raffles, the Bichon Frise.
"We had to sort him out." yelped the little white ball of fluff.
"Our ears much more sensitive than humans."

Michael was then set upon by a murder of crows.
"He was putting us out of business" cawwed a crow.

Jacek from Germany who are well known to have bad taste in music completed the 10 Illegal Busking missions and managed to survive by pouring hot candle wax in his ears as he too could not find the off button. But he was unaware of the next hidden danger. The "Open Mic song" mission song resulted in Jacek falling on the ground and started shaking controllably.

Patricia who was in the middle of an important presentation to her board of directors on the year's Quarter 2 results. However she could not get the song "Illegal Busking" out of her head as she was playing Rising Star the night before. She could not find her train of thought and ended up having to apologies and run off stage.
"If I did not blame it on my 'flowers' arriving then I would have been sacked." claimed Patricia.
"That bloody song is addictive."

This is just a drop in the ocean around the injuries sustained that we know of from playing the Rising Star game. The players that have remained involved found a way to stop the music early on which meant survival in many cases but for many it is too late. The game is designed so the music starts automatically unless you turn it off. But for many the pause button in the lower bottom corner is too far to reach as the intros to the songs play and cause paralysis before you can click the button. The most accident prone to the music are known to be aging rockers who are experiencing projectile vomiting after 3 seconds followed by full blown Tourettes syndrome.

"That fucking wanker game fuck is after bastard making dickhead my life a *bitch * misery" claimed Phil the rocker.

"We just ask the games developers to just let the user press play so they have a chance to remain uninjured." cried Johan's mother Silvia..
"Everyone deserves a chance to defend themselves," she sobbed.

It is unknown how many gamers have left the game as a result of the Illegal Busking tune. Our report thinks millions but rumour has it that the songs get a bit better as the game goes on.

"It is all part of the process," said one Rising Star fan.
"You start off shit and then you get better so in theory it is genius by the devs."
"How many illegal buskers have you passed by that were shocking? "Loads I imagine."

"So to get away from the bad music, you will be motivated to grow and get better."
"If a fell people fall out of windows or have burst eardrums well that is all part of the process."
"It is how you really make it in the music industry."
