Silent Hill: Homecoming European release pushed back
Irem making Spelunker for PS3, Disaster Report for PSP(continued from previous page) ...more free time before I got a day job again, and it shows.
Dave Wales: You told me a bit earlier that you're going to be doing another interview with a newspaper after this; can you give any insight into that interview as well?
Seebs: As a hobby, I've been suing junk faxers. Many people don't know this, but the US federal government outlawed junk faxing in 1991; unfortunately, the primary means of enforcement is individual lawsuits. So I collect my junk faxes, and I sue the senders. A reporter spotted one of my suits in the civil filing records, and wanted to know more about it.
Dave Wales: People spam via fax? I never knew that.
Seebs: Yes, huge amounts. If you leave a fax machine connected long enough, they'll eventually wardial you and start dumping. Most people I know with fax machines get at least a couple to a few a week. If you ever get a call where you just hear a couple of beeps and they hang up, that's a junk faxer scanning for fax machines. Just so you know, the remove numbers are a scam, and your only real option for stopping the faxes is to sue. You are generally entitled to $500 per fax, or possibly more. The law's more complicated than that, and I'm not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice, just a report on what happened for me.
Dave Wales: Sounds like the potential to have a second income if you get enough of them. All right man, that's pretty much it, thanks a lot for doing this, I appreciate it and I’m sure the readers will also.
There you have it guys. The view into the life of a true pro gamer in every sense of the word; if you read it all the way through, you’ve just gotten +2 to your Attention Span and therefore have leveled up. Stay tuned for our next member spotlight coming in two weeks as usual.

Next: Lost Planet demo removed, new one up shortly Anyone who has downloaded this demo from the update on Thursday can attest to the problems that it came with. Players were repeatedly told open rooms were full and that s... |
Nice.
LOL Seebs pwns the noobs on here.
Wow Uncool! Understatement of the decade there. I know I've been educated or owned on more than one occasion. Anyway, decent interview nonetheless.
Aww nobody likes me :( Any who I was reviewing 7's thread and Seebs response to it. You can tell a mature poster by comparing him/her to a not so mature poster. Besides I am off to rewarding more members today, including seebs. ^_^
Very interesting interview. Talk about old school! This guy makes everyone look like newbies. Excuse me, I'm about to go buy a fax machine.
Really interesting stuff there - best Member Spotlight thus far (sorry Uncool...)
Mua ha haa!
So far, 2/3 of the interviewees are from Minnesota!
I leveled up ^_^ This was a good read! many thanks to both Dave and Seebs!
i enjoyed the post, but if we didnt have tribalism we probably wouldnt have the technology we do. dont get me wrong i want peace just like seebs. i dont like when gamers hate gamers because of the console they own its kind of shallow, but without the competition we wouldnt have ither console if you think about it. Competition is what drives sales...
The PSU family.
I don't know about you guys, but I think I'm in the market for a fax machine now. I need a new computer.
you people are racist , i dont understand i been on this longer then anyone , im not black or white or american im kurdish im from kurdistan . northern iraq , i have family there i currently live in nashville im american citizen , why cant i be treated the same as you guys , huh ? is it because im not you is you people serious ? i mean come one focus this absurd !
@ Cashville WTF Mate!, Good spotlight
Haha, I'm 16 years old and I know of these rougelikes :P
My fav is Nethack! It rocks xD
I feel so old =O ^^
@ cashville: You didn't know Dave was selling his spotlight to the highest bidder? Dave's a skill point pimp or "Spimp" for short.
We could really care less about race here, until someone raises an unnecessary flag to make themselves stand out for no reason. I doubt anybody had any idea that you were a Kurd. If you want to yell at someone, yell at me. Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean you should take it out on the Spimp. And it's quite hard to be on here longer than the site creators; your registration date sure doesn't reflect your statement either.
