Jay Wars Episode IV: Some New Spam...
Well, already people are finding ways around Hotmail's spam filter (gee, what a surprise!) and I am getting spam emails again. But bonus points for trying, guys!
Let's see... we have one where the whole spam is fit in the subject line (which is quite impressive, in and of itself), basically asking you to mail them all your details to get shifted to a new account with *huge* compound interest... Well, that's *technically* true, in that each time some poor schmuck gets suckered, said account grows a lot over a few short months!
Ahhh, and this one: Subject line - I hope I finally found the right address... basically, from the words "ever since you left the country", my spam-sense tingled! I read more, and, lo and behold, the standard "you have been left lots of money, but I need your bank details to do it."
Er... ever heard of cheques? After all, I could just tell you to mail it to such and such, care of...? But since this is spam, we're not after consistent, logical thought here, just phishing.
In other news, I'm considering making some Let's Play videos, but am having a hard time deciding what. After all, people have already LPed some of my true faves, and others I just can't be arsed with (I mean, who would want to LP Pariah? It's a poor game, imho, and not worth it.)
So far, the only choices I have are all space shooters: Battle of Endor, Battle of Yavin, and The Last Starfighter... all indie remakes of various arcade games, including the one that doesn't technically exist from the film of the same name.
Any ideas would be cool.
