CorpseCamp.Us

I couldn’t help but share this link with you from the whole Blizzard Real ID fiasco.

This is a hilarious youtube video of a foreign film with subtitles. This will give you a good few minutes of Laugh Out Loud fun.

All links open in a new window.

Sadly, that’s the joke. It hasn’t been. Big news from Blizzard you can see here.  Basically, they’ll be publicly posting the REAL NAMES (including last names) of all posters in an attempt to curb flaming and trolling.  How does this bit of news fit into CorpseCamp.Us? Well, you can’t get much more absurd than that! Agreed, something should be done about the rampant anonymity problem. But publicly posting any one of millions of real names who dare post on their forums to the rest of the web? That’s got to be a serious privacy issue.

Public posting of personal information is something you expect out of hackers or gold sellers. Mandatory advertising of people’s last name is just inviting identity theft. How can you trust a company that’s forcing its customers to do something Internet safety experts have been warning against doing for over a decade? This is going to be an interesting firestorm to watch!

So I was reading a thread where someone lost their authenticator and had issues with Blizz because they didn’t have their authenticator serial number. This got me thinking and I decided to make sure I had my info backed up. I go to my email account, pick up my lil authenticator and copy the SN down so it’s safe. It was then that I noticed that written in big letters on the back of the authenticator are the words “Made in China”. Does anyone else find it ironic that the authenticators are made in the very country that is responsible for the majority of the gold farming? Continue reading “Made in China” »

Q u o t e: It’s called a scapegoat. People who like to complain use them all the time. Watch, next week they’ll be blaming Obama again or Ghostcrawler. Maybe even Santa Claus!

Don’t get me started on the fat, lazy, red suit wearing, elf-enslaving jerk. Continue reading “I blame Obam–Ghostcrawler!” »
