Mirror’s Edge Review

I just finished this parkour-free-running-shooter game and it was insanely polished visually and mechanically. The only gripe I can say is that it gets old real quick, the gameplay has no depth and it’s always the same wall-jump puzzle. It starts out very promising because you learn every single cool thing about the game in a well thought out tutorialish first level. There are about 4 visual styles in the game, daytime rooftops, daytime streets, bright indoors and dark indoors. The story’s cute, but not too convincing. Did I mention the main character’s hot and has a matching hot sister?

It was a good game but next time around I’d like EA to give me something I can enjoy chewing. Maybe add a tricks/turbo system that helps you run/jump/fight. Oh and one more thing, there’s a slow-motion-matrix button which is absolutely useless, shoulda been removed from the game if it isn’t relevant.

biroking is a Myspace spoof phish worm

I googled this and it appears no one noticed yet so I had to write about it specifically… biroking.com looks exactly like the myspace login. How does the phish work? Well all I know is i got a message that only had a link in it to biroking.com so I checked it and voila holy fuck. I assume that once they get your user/pass from the fake login they just message all your friends with nothing but http://www.biroking.com what assholes.

Reporting phishing

It’s not as easy as I thought, most websites actually want you to e-mail them a phish report. Naturally, google did it almost right.

This is how you check if a site was reported or not (notice you have to modify the url to use this):
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://biroking.com/
