I thought they passed the bill, or maybe it was just past the house and in the senate now. |

Last I had heard they passed an extension on the past budget that went up until March 18th, or somewhere around then. |

I think that was one of the listings that all 3 were games I had played. Some of those titles I didn't even recognize, I didn't vote on most of era 1. There were a couple of choices I felt were a bit unfair to pair together also. Fallout 3 was really good, which is why I struggled. But, I guess not owning Fallout 3 and my fanboy/nerdom of Star Wars won out. World of Warcraft was ok, but I had a lot more fun with Fallout 3 and Knights. Also my world is a crotch. |

The exhibit opens on March 16th and is open through September 30th. Who has two thumbs and will be there probably within the first week it's open? This guy. Also, they'll have Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., Secret of Monkey Island, Myst, and Flower open for the public to play in the museum. The SSA Kentuckians should probably use this exhibit as an excuse to come out to DC.

Sorry, I don't mean to exclude the non-DC, non-Kentucky SSA members. The rest of you are perfectly free to use this as an excuse to visit DC as well. |
