Some scribble shit

I was suppose to write part II of the adversities of online gaming but work got caught up. Anyway, I'm like Bradley Cooper from Limitless without NZT... no surge of brilliance is coming through my brain.

So, just finished watching Pacific Rim and learned some new words like Kaiju, Jaeger and neural hand shake. The third one intrigues me quite a bit, how can 2 people be sharing emotions and memories and then act as one - really really weird.

What happens when you have an erection while inside the Jaeger? Why not dance the Moves like Jaeger thing. lol

The adversities of online games part 1

So you like to play a lot of online games huh?! If you're still hooked by all means go on and play some more. However, if you have enough of online games like me then read on. One thing for sure is that online games is a waste of time, money and effort. Yeah! You heard me!

Before I got hooked into online games where you shove your hard earn money to it, I was hooked to console games and what better way to represent console gaming than the first ever family computer. Oh yeah, Mario was the first ever console game I have ever played. Then comes Contra, I love pressing those up-down, up-down, left-right, left-right, B+A (or was it A+B) then select and start and you got 30 lives. After that consoles have evolved a lot and now you got play station, Xbox and etc.

Now the repercussion of playing these games are it gets very addicting that for some kids they skip classes and even skip meals to save some money in order to play. The worst part is some kids don't go to school anymore and just hang around all day in the computer shop.

With the introduction of a desktop computer comes more games to play plus you get to play with your friends on a network which can be very exciting. With this in mind comes the heralding of a much gaming addiction of all time - Red Alert, Diablo and Counterstrike. Now comes the genre of strategy, RPG and FPS games.

Stay tuned on my next post which will be coming soon... how soon? even I don't know.

In the mean time, why not get yourself busy with some cute pussy.

Out of the blue

Out of the blue I started to write again on this insignificant blog. I was busy with work, games and life that I did not find time to write - until now. Whatever the cause of this action, I'm not really sure how long this will take. For the record, I'm eating peanuts as I write this post. Hey?! Maybe that could be the reason as they say peanut is food for the brain but many guys like me like a different kind of peanut - one that is fresh if you know what I mean?! lol

As much as possible I tried to shove as many nuts as I can in my mouth and munch like a giant whose hunger can only be quench by the dread. Anyway, going back to this post I recall a line from the Merovingian (Matrix) saying "Beneath our poised appearance, the truth is we are completely... out of control" I couldn't agree more.

To sum it up, just out of the blue this post came to be. If you're confused as I am, then that makes two of us.

Its going to be 2013 soon

Apparently my last post was way back in 2010 and it will be 2013 soon and I there is no spark of genius coming from head so this blog post project might be pending for some time.

In the meantime lets play some Dota 2

I will commit to Blogging

2010 has been a very busy year for me, however, I will be committing to blogging starting this month.

FIGHT BACK! BY DAVID HOROWITZ

A New Twist on an Old Scam

I've been writing columns for years about various telemarketing scams -- phony sweepstakes, sure-fire investments, bogus charities and high-pressure product sales. Now, these boiler-room operators have come up with a new one called "recovery rooms." These callers prey on people who've been ripped off by telemarketing scams. The victim receives a call from someone posing as a "recovery agency" or legal-aid organization. The operator says something like, "We understand you were the victim of a telemarketing fraud, and we'd like to help. We can help you get your money back." There's a fee for this service, of course. Usually around $500. You'd think people who had been ripped off once would be leery about a come-on like that. But the caller sounds so sincere, and the victims are desperate. They've already been told by police that there's probably no chance they will ever get their money back. Maybe this company can do something the police can't do. These operators work along a fine line between what's legal and what's fraud. If they guarantee a return, then that's misrepresentation. But if they only promise to "help," then they usually can't be prosecuted -- even if the victim ends up getting nothing back, which is usually the case. Ironically, many of the people working recovery-room scams are the same ones who ripped off the victims in the first place. They leave one boiler-room operation for another, taking their lead sheets of names and phone numbers with them. Those same victims from the same lists get hit again with the new pitch. Authorities in Nevada recently filed legal action against two Las Vegas recovery rooms. But investigators warn there are dozens of others still in operation all over the country.

Boiler-room operators move around and change names so quickly, it's often impossible to track them from one scam to the next. So, the Federal Trade Commission has established a nationwide computer database on telemarketing fraud. It takes information from fraud investigations all over the country -- company names, suspects, scams, sales pitches -- and then searches that data for patterns and similarities. The FTC is now training state and local investigators on how to use the database to identify boiler-room operators in their areas. That lets them move in and shut them down more quickly. They can also circulate bulletins warning potential victims about a new scam, like the recovery rooms above. The FTC is also going after companies that process credit-card transactions for boiler rooms. Late last year, the commission sued the Electronic Clearing House Inc. of Las Vegas, which processed $12 million worth of credit-card charges for telemarketers, including four companies charged by the government with consumer fraud. Under the terms of the settlement, the clearing house agreed to stop handling charges from telemarketers who use prize promotions and to investigate solicitors whose transactions exceed $30,000 a month. FTC officials say the case is a warning to credit-charge processors all over the country. They better watch whom they do business with, or they'll find themselves in federal court, right along with the telemarketers. COPYRIGHT CREATORS SYNDICATE, INC.
