Getting a bit of a scratchy throat? You'd better plan to stay home tomorrow to fend off what's sure to be a terrible cold. And while you're lying around hacking up a lung, maybe you can garner the strength to play a little Call of Duty: Black Ops: 2. Your boss will never suspect that's why you really dialed in sick.
Not until reading about a new IGN poll, that is. One in four respondents indicated plans to skip work/school tomorrow, the day the next installment of the hugely popular first-person shooter launches worldwide for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Health warning: The Call of Duty Cough is expected to be serious and widespread!
IGN, a site that covers all things gaming, invited readers to take part in the quick, four-question online survey over the course of three days last week. Nearly 10,000 IGN.com visitors answered the call, with 26 percent of respondents saying they definitely expect to feel under the weather tomorrow.
