Spam & Phishing

Posted on June 30th, 2006 in Videos, eDrinker by Oliver.Cross

SpamI didn’t have anything to post today untill I went to delete one of about thirty emails, just general rubish I have to sive through before reading anything constructive. 

Ok here is a quick lesson, let’s define Spam and Phishing.

Spam: To indiscriminately send unsolicited, unwanted, irrelevant, or inappropriate messages, especially commercial advertising in mass quantities. Noun: electronic “junk mail”.

Phishing: is the act of tricking someone into giving them confidential information or tricking them into doing something that they normally wouldn’t do or shouldn’t do. For example: sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

Smacktard, like the people that send me this rubbish.

Right, try and stay away from chain mail. Especially if it’s from friends of friends. Don’t read crap from Africa, Nigeria and anyone else in that region. It might be prejudice, but this is were it keeps coming from. 

A friend of mine had a good idea, if you receive one of these emails take the list of email addresses. Because and I quote “just the right audience, a bunch of noobs will buy anything”. 

Here is a typical example of the sick emails I have been receiving:

[Removed: I don't think Google liked the text in the email]

Now for a little light humour.

You will only understand this video if you have played online games but it is hilarious some guys are taking this all to seriously meanwhile Leeroy is sat in the corner AFK (away from keyboard) and when he comes back you see that he has not been listening and uses his own tactics.

Anyway i didnt make it to Morroco or Rhonda but i did make it to Puerto Banus im now recovering from spending 600 euros but it was a great night!

I have a bad cold today. Here is a funny video of a box monster:

Old Arcades

Posted on June 25th, 2006 in Videos, eDrinker by Oliver.Cross

GuileYesterday after updating eDrinker and checking my mail, I passed an arcade located in reception area of the hotel. Arcades have been killed by the console market and what really blows if you find an arcade it’s usually full of crappy simulators or light gun games.

I had a quick look inside and instantly spotted a classic machine, “Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors’ Dreams“. I went to the counter picked up five tokens and sat down. Within seconds a bunch of kids surrounded the machine and asked if they could play. I haven’t played in a while, but I would be dammed if some kid was going to beat me. I let him play on my credit. Just as I suspected before even playing, if you find an old machine the stick doesn’t work or the buttons jam. You couldn’t do any fluent motions with the stick unless you were on right hand side and being player one I started on the left. If I did make it to the right hand side of the screen I couldn’t fucking block. Anyway within seconds this nine year old kid kicked my ass and immediately turns around and gives his mate a high five.

I don’t care if you’re eighty, forty or even eight years old I don’t take losing lightly. I put in another token and chose “Charlie Nash“. “Nash” as he’s called in Japan is a charge character, an almost identical version of “Guile” from the original “Street Fighter 2“. In less than a minute, I landed one perfect, which means I finished the round without being touched and nearly finished the second round with another perfect. I then turn around to high five my friend and realised I was on my own.

Anyway what pisses me off is when I find an arcade with some real classics but the buttons or the joysticks are fucked. Kids get their pocket money and start pumping coins in to the machine and believe they are actually having a good time. There is no fun in not having any control or not being able to throw a punch or a kick because some knob hit the button to hard last time he lost. They don’t fix the machines because the little kids playing haven’t got a clue what they are doing and no one ever complains. It’s like test driving a cool car without breaks or trying to play pool in a bar where there isn’t enough room or not providing any chalk for the cues.

Anyway congratulations to England in winning against Ecuador and to Michael Bisping who destroyed the Americans away from home in the “UFC-Ultimate Fighter 3 Finale“.
