Gegereka the freaky file search

GegerekaThis from the Freaky-drop-the-remote-and-go-hide-your-files department. An anonymous source sent us Gegereka (which sounds like the name of a Grecian god of FTP server indexing or file nakedness) is a new FTP server search engine and indexer. You can search for .mp3, .wav, .jpg, .gif, .avi, .mpg, .zip, .rar, .gz, .exe, .doc, .txt, .pdf, .xls, .ppt and just about any other type you can think of. I tried both psd and wmv formats, of which it found many (screenshots after the jump). Gegereka looks oddly like Google, but so does everything these days. The scary thing is Gegereka finds files on FTP servers, and the owner of the server may not even have a clue that their files are being scanned. This is a cool idea for a web application, and I like the "search within results" feature as well, but I can see this tool being sorely misused by the RIAA and others like them. Katie, bar the freakin' door.My search for "mp3", then "britney." I searched by clicking on the .mp3 link at the top of the page. You have to first specify the type of file you want, then the actual search criteria at the bottom of the screen, before you get the results you want.

My search for ".psd" files, which I typed in manually.

My search for ".wmv" files, also manually.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
