I've almost written 2 blogs between this and the last one, but I didn't post them, so here's an update of what's happening in my life.
I got another PS3 game for Christmas. It's TESIV: Oblivion. Great game, I spent over 100 hours on it before I quit, and still didn't finish the main quest line.
One day I decided to download a Sega Megadrive/Genesis emulator when I saw some website mention it.
Now I can once again play all my favourite Sega games, like Toy Story, Rings of Power, Sonic 2 and Wonderboy in Monster World.
My video walkthrough "business" is going fine. In January I bought a Pinnacle Dazzle tuner, so now I'm a "professional" video game walkthrougher. My newest walkthrough is Spyro: Year of the Dragon, for PS1. I'm going to redo my old walkthroughs too now that I can have better quality.
I was referred to the leading paid-to-click program of this time, and made an account there. I've already earned 2 dollars and 83 cents. Too bad I can't withdraw my money yet, because there's a 10 dollar withdrawal minimum. Someday I'll have $216 and then I'll buy myself a website and a real domain name.
I recently bought 5 games.
Sonic Riders, Xena Warrior Princess, Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, Tomb Raider Legend and Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition.
Sonic Riders is just bad. Xena game is not just a really horrible game, but it also makes so much noise inside the PS2 that I don't dare to play it anymore, in case it breaks something.
Tomb Raider AoD is crap. The controls are so clunky that it makes you feel you're playing a really badly made horror game.
Devil May Cry 3 SE is ok, but a little too fast paced and has too many tight areas to appeal to me right now.
Tomb Raider Legend is great, though. I don't know why some people mock it, but the controls work just fine, the story's...ok I'd say, and Lara's hot. It's a good game and really invites new people to the series.
Last night I was reading through my e-mails, and I saw something funny.
MySpace had sent me an account confirmation message. Someone had created a MySpace account for me, with as close to my real info as possible. I thought it was nice so I confirmed it. So, now I got me a MySpace account. Sad.
I don't understand why anyone would actually need MySpace, and I'm not hurrying to set up my detailed profile there. I haven't even picked my url yet.
I guess the person who created the account is some fan of my Jak walkthroughs, at least that's the idea I got from the password the person picked.
Well, that's about it. Other things have happened too, but I don't want to talk about them here.
Comments
I use a different password for every website and forum I visit so somehow getting my password there wont help, and I'm certainly not writing my passwords anywhere. MySpace or someone there asks for my email password, or any other password, I'll immediately close the account.
My email I use there is public information already so that's useless. Hijacking the account would be pointless because anyone could've set up this "JohnnyFox's" account from scratch even without me knowing about it.
Trying to find my address, phone number, age or even my home country there wouldn't work, I never give out my adress or phone number online.
So, someone tries phishing for my passwords or personal info, it wont work. Someone tries hijacking that MySpace account, he'll get an empty account with a user name "Johnny" at best.
