Here's a good 'un

Oooh, sneaky...
Got a rather clever phishing mail today. A couple of the usual "we're not quite professional" typos and the traditional "dear Paypal member" giveaway, but a nice, sneaky approach:

A Comparative Review: CoD Black Ops, Medal of Honor, Battlefield Bad Company 2
In the last few weeks I've played all three of these, and friends have told me that this one's rubbish, while this one's great, and so on. So I decided to compare them myself.

An Ex-Fan's Reevaluations
Last night, laboriously typed on the dismal keypad of my dismal Sony Ericsson Satio, I posted the following (http://community.livejournal.com/sheldon_penny/1238384.html) on the Sheldon/Penny LJ Comm. If any BBT fans read this, perhaps it'll be of some interest.
( This evening, Tasha and I caught up with the last few episodes. And, well, I'm about to give up on this show... ) -

The wondrous tale of Tasha and the Snow Racer
Tasha - my rather delightful girlfriend - is from South Africa. She once encountered snow, on a holiday in Austria when she was seven or so. This Christmas she came to join me in Sweden for one of the coldest and snowiest winters we've had in at least a decade. Naturally, I had to get my old Snow Racer out. ( Read more... )
