Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster
After 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.

I don't understand why this video is so popular... Software isn't that branch where video is popular

They do seem to be ahead of the game as I can remeber when I used to listen to the old Cnet radio ( streamed broadcast), which was superb and I used to listen to it everyday, despite being based in the UK and the Bay area traffic reports were a real hoot to listen to. Good to see that they have come back with something thats quite good.

Totally agree. I love the format and speed catch-up on gadgets, etc. One thing I would like to see would be a mini version so I could have it playing in the corner of my screen whilst getting on with other things.

There is a mini version were it could be playing in the corner of your screen and you could go on with other work just use LePlayer. It's a program were im pretty sure it has CNET video.

I like the format very cool, would like to see an additional feature "Embed this video into your blog or web page" like they have on www.ifilm.com
