While out running errands earlier, Al and I stopped off at Sam's Club to pick up a copy of Turbo Tax Business for the DKA Productions taxes, along with a couple of other things. When the cashier scanned the box, the computer/register responded with an age verification question. The cashier laughed a bit and asked, "Are you over the age of 18 and able to play this adult computer game, Turbo Tax for Business?"
*snicker* Walking out of the store, Al and I discussed the idea that the payoff for winning the game must be Lara Croft delivering your refund, naked.

Jan. 12th, 2005 02:08 pmYa know, I was getting along fine for years without being into one of the larger geek-supported industries. Peripherally, I always had a childhood/adolescent fascination (for hopefully obvious reasons given in certain ways I am poster het boy) with the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman series, and I loved the first three Burton Batman flicks, but for the most part, it stopped there. Of course, I had to really get into the X-Men and Spider-Man movies in the last few years. It started off very slowly a couple of years ago when I was encouraged to start reading Gaiman's Sandman series. I have most of the trade paperback collections of those, but haven't finished. I never should have discussed the X-Men movies and their relationship to the comic books with elmegil a few weeks ago, though. Now I find myself hitting the local shop every Wednesday when the new stuff comes out.
Currently picking up Top Cow's Witchblade and Tomb Raider series. Surprising, I know. Also Futurama, Dork Tower, and a couple of others. I've gotten some of the back story collections of X-Men, but there are so many spin-offs and variations, I have no idea what's going on with them currently and so haven't started that. Could be a good thing, actually.
[Edit: And I forgot to mention, but yes, I've also gotten into Foglio's Girl Genius. I forgot about it because I have almost completely caught up with it in a very short time. Fabulous.]
