I will personally track down and shout obcenities through the letterboxes* of anyone who posts a spoiler or any in game link with halo2 and ilb!

Ah, the joy of being salaried.
Nevertheless, I am going to work tomorrow. They've lost enough of my productivity due to my obsession.
One of the lawyers: So, it's a slow day for you.
Me: Mm-hm.
Lawyer: <noticing me typing furiously> Whatcha up to?
Me: Saving the world from aliens on a religious war, with the help of a crazy AI from 2552.
Lawyer: You winning?
Me: Too soon to tell. Probably not.
Lawyer: Well, why not?
Me: Probably, our information isn't accurate. I think we're being lied to.
Lawyer: Wow. I'm never going to play that game. Sounds too much like my job.
Me: <long pause> Um...probably not so much.

ah yes those moments when you are trying to explain to co wokers what you are doing. They made life interesting and people never look at you the same, lol.
Phaedra, do you have XBL?

Hows this for an excuse......?
Told my boss that with the release of Halo 2, my friends and I have organized a charity tournament and I am doing the coordination and really need to be there if at all possible..... He bought it! and gave the day off - unforntuneately unpaid, but doesn't count against my attendance record! He he he - here's to creative thinking...... Love the RVB G4 commercial
Had to come up with something new - I mean how many times can your grandmother actually die?

I know for a fact that there are at least three or four lawyers who have been following this ARG rather closely. It's fun watching them argue with each other in the forums!

There was one in this thread from a while back, for example.
