Jane’s got the taxes ready to go in, today.

This is epic. We're going to make deadline. We usually have to ask for an extension. Guild Wars 2 is running an annual tax-time silliness called the Adventure box, which emulates the old 1960's games, like Star Raiders, Frogger and Pong, with demented icon-characters...
