I Guess People Like It

Well, it appears the expected has happened.  Modern Warfare 2 was the most profitable media event of all time.  In just one day of sales, Activision raked in $310 million dollars.  To put it in perspective, The Dark Knight earned just under $160 million during its opening weekend.  Now, I consider myself an avid gamer, but I still have yet to pick this game up.  I'm a fan of shooters, but the game centers its appeal around the online multiplayer side of things and has about a 5-hour single player campaign.  I'll probably give it a rental, and I definitely recommend you do the same if you're at all interested and are, of course, old enough.  In case you haven't heard, there's some pretty mature subject matter in this one.  Here's just one of the many, many articles about its success that I got the above figures from

Here's today's Web Waster:
