So i thought i had it all planned out. Last month i bought Rome: Total war on steam for 10 bucks so i could brush up on my strategy skills (Campaign map skills, not battle skills, Armour and swords =/= guns and cover) it was awesome, i began building up hype for Empire: Total War and started to get really good at managing a huge empire. So about a month passes of me playing Rome: Total War almost exclusively for about 20 or so hours a week and i begin saving up for my one game a month budget that i set up for myself so i dont end up homeless and/or without electricity to play games. I had it all saved up around 80 bucks (to buy the special units version), and today much to my surprise, i open up my bank account online to see what my balance was so i can get the game through steam and there it was, 11.56 USD.............................

I begin to freak out.. Mind you i am the type of guy that doesnt even freak out when his car stalls on some train tracks with an on-comming train (true story). I immediately pull up the account history and i see two charges on my debit card, one for 29.99 and one for 39.99 from a company i dont even know about. I call up my bank and ask them wtf is up and they tell me to call the company that charged me. So they give me two different numbers and i call both of them. The first one was a hispanic lady who immediately asks for the last 8 digits of my card number to varify that im the owner of the account. After going through all that bullshit she ends up giving me the name of the guy who put the charges on the card... My own fucking brother. Needless to say im quite pissed that my brother stole 70 bucks from my account, but what really pisses me off is that i found out he used it to buy a subscription to a fucking porn site. The lady ends up refunding my money and puts my brothers name into some sort of porno black list so that he cant ever buy porn again or whatever (lol). But it turns out i wont get my money back until next week at the earliest. So my plans for awesome game time (which i almost never have anymore) turned into looking for my brother and beating the shit out of him.

So the lesson for today is dont trust family.
