I know many will curse me (or already am...), but I was able to score an early copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from a local store that broke the street date on Friday.  I caught up on it by looking at Craigslist, and someone had posted the news.  I called them, and sure enough, it was confirmed.  A short 10-minute diversion off my normal commute home Friday evening and I was good to go.

Short story:  it's everything that Modern Warfare was, but now on steroids.

I suffer from Gaming Attention Deficit Disorder (more commonly known as GADD), a common problem amoung most gamers.  Most common symptoms include the inability to complete a game, general fondness over multiple genres, and ownership of every console made by man.  Fortunately for me, yesterday I was pointed to a more viable treatment option than I have been using in the past.  Previously, I've been either selling my old games via forums or (grudgingly) to GameStop.  But now, thanks to SirPoonga and our glorious Site Chat, I have been pointed to Goozex.com.

Couldn't be happier! It's been a long stretch since 2000, but we slowly built back to what is needed to take it all the way to and through the postseason. I tip the hat to the Phillies for a hard fought series and making it one of the better sets of games in recent history.

Now...how am I going to convince the boss to let me use a sick day to see the parade on Friday?
