Seriously enjoying BF 1942. For those of you who haven't signed up for the horridness of Origin: It's free on Origin.

Origin really is pretty bad, in the "way too basic and not good for doing anything remotely useful" way, moreso than XFire.

Heck yeah! There once was this game called "Egoboo" that had a remarkably similar art style! A shame that it died.

Truly. It could be that some things age better than others, as sad as it can be, though.

Maybe the spambots' controller decided to do a manual override?

All they'd have to do is use it manually 90% of the time but paste in text when they want to dump their spam.

The spambot was becoming sentient, but you stopped its awakening! It could've become our ally and shared valuable information about the way spambots think and fight, but you killed it before it had a chance to redeem itself! :waah:

AFAIK, they just do the following:
1. Register under a fictitious name, using words from a bank, like when you do a character class Starter module.
2. Find a particularly active part of the forum.
3. Dump spam all over the place.

Number 2 is definitely wrong. They usually dump everywhere.

I bought mine for the Kingdom of Bishopia. :(
