Call of Duty 4 (PS3)

I got this game for Christmas and finished last night. My only regret is that the game ended.

Good Story, kick ass graphics, just loved playing it. The story was actually great, great in as you can actually see this happening. Not like Metal Gear Solid where it starts bordering on the paranormal.

Thought I would share for anyone in the market looking for good first shooter games.

Quick run down.

You are primarily playing the game from two points of view. A SGT in the marines and a new recruit for British SAS. The stories are relevant to one another; both taking place at the same time in different places. You do get to do a couple of new things; such as being the gunner for a C130 supporting the SAS extract out of hostile territory.

Vonage

…is really getting on my nerves lately. First off, I’d like to say that spending $45+ for a home phone is retarded. Hence, the reason I went with Vonage.

I started out with a $15 plan for 500 minutes a month. Which is perfect because I rarely call anyone from home and no one ever calls me.

Then Vonage started adding random fees, so I’m around $20 a month. I get an email every month saying, “I’m taking your money now, make sure you have money in your bank account.”

I just got some NewsFlash email this morning… the 27th… of December. It read…
[quote]What’s on YOUR List This Holiday Season?
Dial 1-700-CALL-SANTA and tell the big guy yourself!
Now through Christmas Eve, you and your family can call Santa from any Vonage phone! Have the kids call 1-700-CALL-SANTA to tell Santa what’s on their wish list and to find out what’s going on up in the North Pole. We’ll secretly relay that message to your email address so you can share it with family and friends.

Track Santa
Plus starting at 5pm EST on December 24th, you can track Santa’s whereabouts! Just call
1-700-CALL-SANTA to find out exactly where Santa’s going and where he’s already been. It’s our way of keeping the holiday spirit alive![/quote]

Hmmm, way to be on the ball, assholes. Needless to say, I’ve just opt-out of marketing emails that I don’t remember asking for.

On top of all that. The website is slow, hasn’t been showing recent calls and my caller id hasn’t been matching up with what’s on the website. I’m just not as happy as I use to be with it.

I’ve been looking to switch to someone cheaper. Anyone know?

I’ve found Via Talk (9.95 for 24 months). Nice features within their web based control panel.

iConnectHere is the cheapest I’ve seen at $7 a month but their site only looks good in IE. Blah!

And Skype, that’s just one step closer to me buying a cell phone. Blah x 2!

395

Do you even know how silly 395 is? I checked the traffic before I left home this morning and 395 was green all the way up A.K.A. clear. So I took the chance of taking it. It took me maybe under 15 minutes to get to work this morning. That’s West Springfield to Crystal City at around 8:45 AM.

They need to figure out a way we can make 395 less traveled? More telecommuters, extended Metro systems, or something.

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

Here’s a movie filled with tons of action, cheesy one liners and ridiculous situations. If you have that one friend that will sit through a whole movie and nit pick everything, don’t watch this movie with them. There’s alot of “you gotta be kidding me” scenes in this movie and they are there on purpose. It a fun movie to watch. I’d watch it again.

I Am Legend (2007)

Eh. It was OK. Kinda dragged on for a sec. I don’t think I’d watch it again.

Bored? What something to play with? That’s not a penis.

Maybe we should switch all our avatars to Mii’s.

Bloody Awesome!

See, it’s me being to lazy to think of obvious things like this. Looks like it has no real support and you might as well be on the floor. Also proves the fact that, dogs can sell anything.

Opening a Roth IRA

Since I’m getting older or old, I guess I should start saving at sometime. I was reading about those who’ve opened a Roth IRA. Seems like it’s something I should do ASAP. Opinions?

Basically all I know is that there are “conservative,” “moderate” and “aggressive” investing packages. And that I can get it through ING fairly easy. Is that all there is? Push money and cross your fingers?
