Bet you thought I was talking about the new health care bill, uh?

Nope all this dough was spent on one video game

Over half billion dollars in just five days

Modern Warfare 2 generated $550 million during its first five days on the market, a figure that sets a new entertainment record for the period.


Whoops! I mean million ... I really was thinking of the health care bill lol

Why do you think it is a crappy game?

I don't know a lot about that game.

The first one (CoD 4) is supposed to be really good. Maybe I check out this one, too - a friend of mine got it a few days ago.

I prefer indie games. Like Dwarf Fortress.

Every mainstream game I've tried has been crap, they don't put their heart and soul into the game and do it only for the money.
