Never fear NVG that's on the internet now. A good lawyer will find it. So, at least MsA will be brought to justice. That's some consolation, right?

Um yeah...

On the brighter side of things, Medal Of Honor is out today. We'll see how it turns out.

I think I've soured on first person shooters. They just don't do it for me anymore. I keep trying to get into ones that people say are good but they all feel the same to me.

Starcraft 2 still has me hooked for now. Which is also strange because I'm too lazy to learn all the ins and outs of multi-player. I pretty much do the same thing over and over and hope I win.

I would like to state that the above referenced comment was for the purpose of exaggerated humor and not in any way a declarative statement of intent....gigglesnort

ok seriously the IRS may actually be the least helpful agency on the planet

No joke. They're pretty much designed that way. I just hate how they seem to purposefully ignore common sense. They setup all sorts of bureaucratic hoops for you to jump through just to be jerks.

My personal pet peeve is with poker taxes. They seriously say you need to have a hand written log of every single time you play a live game. For online you're sort of on your own at determining what a "session" is because you can play multiple tables at a time. They couldn't just make it simple and tax your net winnings. Nooooo that would be too simple.

I really bet they could make much more money if they just said "Hey we already get your W2 forms from your employers. We'll send you a bill and if you want to dispute it or claim anything other than the standard deductions then you have to fill out your forms." So, many people would just decide it's not worth it and pay whatever they come up with.

Our version of the IRS is equally useless. They sent me a letter many years ago now telling me that they lost all my information and need it updated. I never did respond, just forgot. But I'm still getting taxed, so they cant be that much in the dark.

@NVG: If you manage to survive MSA's devious plans, you'll need to let us know how Medal of Honour goes. I had been planning to hold off and get call of duty black ops myself.

Zeek I love your plan... I am totally fine witht hat. And as you add kids on they just continue with the deductions. It would make things so easy no one would grumble

But Navy...how will you prove you exist

Fallout New Vegas comes out soon too!
I've been hooked on first person shooters since I played Half Life, but I could never really get into strategy games like Starcraft, although I used to play Warcraft 3. My new obsession is Bioware games. I just need to find time in between obsessive studying to play some. :/

I have always been an air combat gamer and also into strategic warfare. I Have Microsoft's Aircombat I & II. I am now enjoying Activision's Rome Total War.

Ah the crazy gamers:)

Really never could get the enjoyment of it, but I'm glad NV is happy:)

Stuck at work today for a total of 15 1/2 hours...stupid open house.
