Trouble Shooting / Re: Repeatedly experienced severe crashes while playing Q2 online

« on: January 15, 2013, 07:00:22 AM »

Yeah, I downloaded several torrents from PirateBay but gave it up soon. I would usually focus on getting a legit copy with a seperate keygen or a cracked exe/dll, or even better, just a legit copy and a list of legit product keys. And what I was trying to say earlier is that now some of the supposedly "clean copies" trigger an alarm, too.
Anyway, at some point I started scanning the Windows system partition from a Linux OS. And it would always find a nest of 10 to 20 snoozing trojans, viruses, backdoors, keyloggers, dialers the Windows AV never detected.
So I dumped "shared software" and went for freeware instead. And the more I started experimenting with Linux, the more I learned to appreciate open source apps. Plus, I started playing Q2 with Linux and didn't have any trouble for quite some time.

But for your amusement, the best is yet to come. When Foc and Dev started suspecting I was walling, I set up XP just to be able to use AC. That was when the trouble started again.
Very soon, a Quake player would snipe more or less subtle remarks on what I had done just the day before. I am talking about stuff that I had googled, movies I had watched, photos I had stored on my HDD and the like. The more he mentioned, the more I started to find it somewhat disturbing, for he seemed to know stuff he wasn't supposed to know. For several years this player used a nick just slightly different from the name of my first email account, and his ingame remarks made it look like that was no coincidence, either.
Plus, I found out that there was a lot of strange internet traffic going on whenever I was online. I tried my best to secure and harden XP, but this story's end is: No matter what I tried, I didn't succeed. So one day when he again quoted from a movie that was still in my DVD drive, I threw his shit back at him. He began to act evasive and soon left; after that he'd be remarkably friendly, no more strange remarks for some time. But r1q2 started crashing whenever some 160-ish or 140-ish ping player spec'd me.
So I started bothering Quadz with my assumptions, and after that, this 160-ish ping player would start a strange monologue ingame. Something like "I know another Quake player hacked me" and "if I lose this hacker battle, I will stop playing Quake for good". Pretty much a summary of what I had told Quadz in an email. 
Quadz tried his best to explain to me it wasn't possible to obtain my IP and hack me while playing Q2, and I didn't know what to do anymore. Finally I called my former lodger/host and asked him about that XP copy again. Now guess what... That's what you get when you're a noob and you trust your buddy.
THIS is why I abandoned XP - and why I believe that I got a "special friend" around. "Shared software"? Oh yeah, so much fun! 
No risk for me anymore, thanks!

I meant to say UPS instead of PSU, lol. I got the two mixed up. D'oh. 
Of course I got a PSU, hehe. But I'm not going to replace that one. I'll get a new system with decent hardware instead. Later. Some time.

Uhm, the keygens that came with that "downloadable software" have already been detected as malware long ago. But now main exes or dlls show as trojan, virus or other malware, too. Hehe.

@ Ely: Wow, been a while since I last got raped by you since I've seen you on the servers. Are you still playing from time to time?
Uhm, I never owned a PSU, so there's nothing to replace, but I'm working on getting at least a line conditioner and maybe later a PSU, too. Unfortunately, this month I got to spend money on several other things first.
And I'll check that program out as soon as I've set up another Win system - after the last crash I started using another OS. Gonna check the repositories, maybe there's a version for this OS, too. Not sure what to do with the results of that stress test, though.

@ Foc: When I started using emule, I was careful enough to avoid the newest versions of programs or vst plugins; I never went for the fancy shit and never got too greedy, but even most of the old stuff was infected. Most of the installers had a trojan or virus aboard, and the few things that seemed to be clean later turned out to be infected, too. Let alone all the stuff that wasn't even working.
Same when I started with Pirate Bay and BitTorrent (or whatever it was) after emule went down the hill. It was like you'd download one hidden .exe, one trojan, one keylogger and maybe one "clean" prog that'd turn out to be broken or shitty or a wrong version. So at some point I quit wasting my time downloading this junk and went for open source. And I'm happy.
All that torrent stuff is now sitting in an isolated folder, and from time to time I run a scan with the latest detection rules, just for the fun of it. Even now it keeps detecting new malware. Could be a lot of false positives, but I'm not going to try it out. I kinda had it with this shit.

Yeah, you're right about those surf-by infections. And yeah, maybe some providers of porn sites actually care about safety - although I'd doubt it, unless it's a pay site maybe. There's sites out there known to be dangerous, but they're swarming with people. Maybe some visitors get hacked and won't return, but others keep coming. Why care?
And I don't have to care, either. I've never been the one to follow any links or click on every button, but even if I did, it wouldn't matter. I'm still careful, but I don't really have to worry about all that anymore. If there's a surf-by infection, all I have to do is shutdown the computer, clear the RAM and it's gone. And if I got to have some song or clip, I don't download it anymore; instead I plug line out and microphone together, visit the site, play the clip while using "recordmydesktop", synchronize audio and video later on - and that's it. Linux has made my life a LOT easier.
If it wasn't for that stupid mouse acceleration of most Linux systems, I wouldn't even bother using Windows for Q2 anymore. You got to modify like 200 settings just to harden an ordinary Win7 install, and what for?
Oh well... Hehe.

I guess I should close this thread and do my homework now. Let's see if it solves the problem. Thanks a lot for your patience and your help, guys! Your knowledge is appreciated!

Sorry, was busy the last two days; I've checked the local HiFi and electronic stores for line conditioners and updated my operating system to the latest version (it took 8 hours, would you believe?). He, and since they've added some stupid mouse acceleration to it, it's now useless for playing Q2. Just my luck. D'oh.

@ Happy Friar: After all those crashes, there's only one working system left - I'm out of PCs for LAN'ing, else I'd already be testing again. For now, I guess I should single out the power/line trouble first and see if it solves the problem. If not, I got no other choice but to dig deeper.

@ Foc: At that very time I was beginning to suspect some virus was messing with my BIOS, too. Like you, I started browsing the web for answers. I found out about that BIOS-virus stuff, too, and that you could easily read and change any BIOS of any component on your board. I tried flashing the BIOS, setting more secure BIOS passwords, but everything would reset out of nowhere.
So soon after that, I replaced all the hardware and cleaned all HDDs including MBR, but the trouble with BIOS resets went on with the new board and the following system, too. It now looks like it was the power issue, but of course it would have been quite interesting to hear how to detect a BIOS virus.
 
Anyway, I found out the hard way that porn, torrents and downloading freeware are the best ways to ruin your machine. This is expecially true for systems running a Windows OS.
I'm sure you know it and I'm not going to preach - I'll just share a few experiences, just in case.
If you wanna watch porn (who doesn't), try using a browser like Bitbox (browser-in-the-box). Or even better, pull the plug of your hard disks and try using some Linux live CD (LPS, Sabayon or whatever). It's boot & go; all you need is enough RAM and a decent DVD drive. Just make sure to turn off the power of your PC for at least 10 seconds after shutting down, so the RAM gets cleared, and there will be no more Windows infection when browsing porn sites. And you only got to download a new live CD iso from time to time to get the latest flash player plugin, that's all.
 
From my experience, most torrent stuff is infected, sometimes with self-made stuff that no AV scanner will detect. Especially not when the infected OS is up and running! Instead of using that stuff I'd prefer a Linux OS over Windows and use one of the great many free programs out there that easily keep up with anything running on Windows boxes. A Linux OS is very good for running AV scans on Windows partitions, too!
Since you don't have a Win install CD, you could at least try installing a Linux OS on another hard disk and go on using the Windows for dirty shit if you MUST use torrents. That way, you'd have at least one clean OS. Sabayon and Ubuntu are the most easy to use operating systems, at the same time providing a huge number of available programs and they are WAY more secure than Windows.
 
Last not least: Using a backup tool like clonezilla helps with systems that come without a Win install CD. You got to pay attention when backing up or restoring, for you can mess things up easily, but if you read carefully, clonezilla helps a lot! One backup before you even connect to the net and one after you've updated and configured everything, and you're on the safe side. Just my 2 Cents.

Again, thanks for your replies! You guys are a great help!

@ Foc: I'm already using DBAN to nuke my drives, especially all the old ones in use when I had XP installed. Works just fine, but of course it takes a long time until the whole drive is wiped. Even if you just choose to erase it, depending on the size of the drive it takes several hours - with other settings even days. But you can indeed be sure the drive is definitely clean then - if you want it safer than that, use a hammer, hehe. Else I'm using the shred function of the partition editor that comes with Gnome or KDE. I don't think this function is as safe as the old DOS low level format, though...
Yeah, some of the CD and DVD drives out there suck ass; I had to plug an old DVD RAM drive to a USB port via IDE to USB box just to be able to use live CDs and install stuff because the built in drive of my recent system would go spinning up and down for 15 minutes until the live system was finally bootet.
Hey, I think I recall you were saying you had a BIOS virus on your board some time ago, is that true?
How did you find out it was there and what did that fucker do?

@ Happy Friar: My PC was standing on carpet, but no longer now.

@ Panjoo: I usually pull the network plug if internet isn't needed. Plus, if I'm online but idle, my router disconnects after 1 minute, only reconnecting on request.
Thanks for your advice! I already did most of it after the last crash, though, hehe. I started using a better router with more detailed options in 2011 or so, using a safe password, too, but before that
last crash, I spent most of the time on securing the windows firewall instead of the router firewall. Now I got a special set of rules for playing Q2, explicitly blocking every port and every outgoing traffic that is not needed - and only allowing connections to tastyspleen server. If I knew which ports AC needs and what IP it needs to connect to, I'd allow those, too, but since I don't know, it is blocked just to be on the safe side.
I've started using the Antivir Rescue CD, too, after I found that with XP, the installed Antivir had apparently been circumvented in no time. Scanning the system while the OS is inactive is indeed much more reliable, especially when searching for rootkits, but as always, the problem about AV software is the virus database. Over the years, I've scanned one and the same folder with the same files many times, and every year Antivir would find one or two new pieces of malware in it. Stuff it wasn't able to detect before. Same with malware scanners like AdAware or Spybot S&D.
I finally decided to put those old files on an EXT4 partition on a USB storage device and not access them with any Win system anymore, unless it's a virtual Windows machine. But maybe I should just destroy all of that old data to put an end to the risk of re-infection and download the Q2 stuff again, too.

@ Cowie: I would agree on your assumption that the Dell BIOS was corrupted and it reset to default settings of the board manufacturer. And I am starting to believe it is the same power/line issue.
Checking the BIOS with a flashrom reader shows that the BIOS lock was enabled and the BIOS write function was disabled. If this refers to the jumper settings on the board, I guess it's impossible the BIOS got flashed - good as hackers may be, they're no wizzards.

Also I'm starting to think that the wall plug the router is connected to might be on a different circuit than the PC plug box, although it's in the same room. If that's true and there's a voltage difference, then the network cable would be a bridge between the two circuits. There could be spikes every time I connect the cable, and voltage drops whenever I pull it. That would certainly explain why so many shit seems to happen when I go online/have been online.
It looks like a whole shitload of problems is going to be solved the moment I got a line conditioner!

@ Cowie: My BIOS has no auto-update function. And this is not the first time the BIOS settings changed out of nowhere (without battery trouble!) - just the first time on this computer.
Of course I'm trying to isolate the problem(s), but I'm simply not savyy enough. I know more about computer stuff now than I did in 2005, but it's still not enough, and I will never be an expert.
It's like with this BIOS thing: I'm now sitting here, wondering what the hell this means - was it some power supply trouble again affecting the CMOS, or is it related to that port scan and DoS and somebody somehow managed to flash my BIOS so that now this system is compromised? How can I find out whether this change is something malicious or just a reset?

After you guys told me, it now looks like a lot of damage was caused by this line/power supply issue. This means the moment I got a line conditioner etc., that'd be one problem less. The solution won't be cheap, but it'll solve the problem. Thank God!
But over the last years there has been odd stuff, too, that can't be explained by power supply issues. I've bothered poor quadz more than enough with this, and I'm not going to start again.
What I know is: I've used XP for many years, and it was compromised. While I tried to figure out what's normal and what's not, step by step trying to learn about basics to secure the system, my XP was an open door. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a fact.
So I don't think a Quake2 player started hacking me - I think in fact a hacker who accessed my system later started playing Q2 for his personal amusement.

I think I got rid of most of whatever malicious shit was on my old system, and security has improved a lot. But I'm not sure I got rid of everything. For I can run my system offline without experiencing any trouble for months, but whenever I go online and start playing Quake2, the trouble seems to start again. I even ran a 24h test with r1q2 and bots having fun on a LAN server, and it never crashed - I go online, and it crashes every day!
And I'm concerned that I'm not able to keep hackers from intruding again.

That's why I came here - to ask stupid questions, get help from more experienced guys, and I don't mean poor quadz who already did enough. Maybe I should open another thread dealing with security stuff, since I got a pretty good explanation for my problem with hardware damage.

Guys, after I visited the forums and restarted my PC yesterday, my boot screen had changed from "Dell" to "Acer". Looking at the logs, I found that at 4:33:47 pm Berlin time my ports were scanned and I received 5 UDP packets that were recognized as DoS.
WTF? Looks like my system spontaneously decided it was time for a change, huh? :->
The IP was logged (64.27.28.2), but I guess it's most likely spoofed.

@ Foc: You're not using one...? Hehe, dunno why, but I could see that coming.
Well, I perfectly understand the thing about the beeping - my former lodger/host who is a truck driver used to transport dangerous material and one day brought home a couple of old truck batteries and a PSU which was still functional. He put everything together and soon we were to experience the negative effect. Several times we met in the hallway in the middle of the night and were like "Wtf, fire alarm?", before he killed the beeper. Hehe. 
Yeah, I came across the Furman equipment when I googled power conditioners and I guess I went kinda pale...
Btw, I am not using any of the hardware of my damaged systems anymore, for I already suspected it suffered damage. I am also aware that the system I am using now might have already been damaged by spikes or micro-outages.
Sigh... Looks like this is going to be expensive. That seriously sucks; I was hoping it wouldn't get too bad. I wanted to use my savings to start studying again next year, but I need a working, reliable and powerful system for rendering, too.
Anyway, thanks again for your suggestions. Your help is appreciated!

@ Vae: Thanks for your suggestions, too. It's indeed a start; I'm going to take a closer look at these and several other models as soon as I got used to the thought of spending parts of my savings on computer stuff again.
 
@ Cowie: Memory leak issue? Do you mean damaged RAM?

Any comments on my question regarding the WSAEHOSTUNREACH host unreachable crashes and bt-utp packets I mentioned?

« on: January 06, 2013, 05:01:23 AM »

First some replies to your posts; after that, I'll deal with crashes not caused by electrical problems, but by some problem with the r1q2 client or maybe restrictive firewall settings.

@ Vae: There was a time when I thought that a high price indicated high quality of power supply and that one "good power supply" would guarantee long life of the other PC components. Which was obviously wrong. You live, you learn...

@ Panschwul: Your story sounds exactly like some of the shit I've been experiencing last year (including rage damage of hardware - I beat the shit out of the metal side cover of my minitower). Especially with
those reboots or shutdowns out of nowhere and looping sound. I've tracked that problem down to a loose contact with the mainboard power plug / power cord. After I started using the second cord that came with my power supply, it stopped. Or so I thought...
Man, it really sucks loosing good hardware because of shit like this! For my part, I won't be able to use good old sabayon 3.4f live cd anymore. That really sucks, for playing Q2 on a mini live system with Geforce 7950 GX2 card was FUN as hell. Best game performance I've ever experienced. That was when
people would start thinking I was walling/hacking.

@ Foc: Thanks for the explanation; I guess your advice will save me time and money, since I would have started looking for a decent PSU next. Looks like it's better to get some decent power conditioner first,
aye?
Since you seem to have experience, is there any good model you can tell me? Maybe one of decent quality at a reasonable price? What model have you got?

@ cowie: I only recall a bluescreen when the last crash killed the onboard GPU of my last system. I have written the message down somewhere, but don't recall where. I think it had something to do with hyberfil.sys.

@ Happy Friar: I got a pair of Heco Celan XT301 with quite a nice bass. It never occurred to me to waste a thought on loud bass affecting electrical lines before, though. It makes sense, but I'm still surprised
this could actually matter.
Regarding another client - yes, I have been using aprq2 prior to r1q2, mostly on linux systems. It was the only client to compile without problems.
On Win7, I was having trouble with weird mouse acceleration when using aprq2 and m_filter set to 1, so I used r1q2 instead. I'd try another one, but I'm running out of clients, hehe!

Now to a problem with the r1q2 client crashing. Since I keep having problems with mouse acceleration when using aprq2, I'm using r1ch's client. But it keeps crashing with an error message
"WSAEHOSTUNREACH host unreachable".

Yesterday there were like 3 of these crashes; they don't happen when I'm using aprq2.
I noticed there was a bt-utp utorrent "FrameReload" packet coming in when the first crash occured - don't know if that has anything to do with the crash, but I thought I'd mention it, since it happened almost simultaneously.
Any ideas what to do?

BTW, what are these bt-utp utorrent packets? I keep getting quite a lot of 'em, like Syn, Ack, State, Reset, Data, Fin... No need to explain the meaning of syn, ack etc., but are they related to map downloads or the like? Just wondering.

Hey guys,

thanks for your replies!

First off, I'm sorry for bothering again, especially if my questions and assumptions sound (=ARE!) stupid. :-(
I'm really no tech-guy; all this stuff is some kind of Black Magic for me and I do know that there are lots of guys who are experts - and some of them are bad guys.
I really don't know what's technically possible. Moreover, I'm no rich guy who can afford buying a new computer every 3 months, so these crashes are kind of getting to me. All I wanna do is relax and play Q2, not bother with having to take more and more extra efforts to secure my machine and
the like.

But back on topic. Okay, so it's impossible that some !#"§)&@ launched attacks on me causing these crashes and hardware damage. All right.

The power supply is indeed like the only thing I haven't checked, yet. No, I don't have a UPS - I was planning on getting one, but money was short. All I got is a surge protector.
And I in fact just replaced the defective hardware by a new set of the same models and continued using the same AC power supply, a BQT E5-600 Watt. I wouldn't call it cheap, but it's now outdated for sure (like the other components, hehe).
Only the last machine came with some cheap MaxSilent thing - and other cheap parts. And my recent machine is some Dell model with standard power supply.

And yeah, it could also be a problem with the power from the wall. This is an old house and my landlord doesn't spend much money on keeping it up to standards. Could as well be a problem with my power company.

I guess it would really be a good idea to spend some money on UPS/power conditioner, huh? :-o

Again, thanks for your help!

Trouble Shooting / Repeatedly experienced severe crashes while playing Q2 online

« on: January 04, 2013, 10:41:16 AM »

Hi guys,

I don't really know which board to post this on, but last year I've had some severe crashes while playing Q2 online, leaving 3 mainboards and a 500 Gigs HDD damaged, and I hope that maybe some of you more computer savyy folks may help me find out what caused it. I am posting this because I suspect there might be some yet unknown exploit, bug or security issue, and I hope you guys look into it.

Whenever these crashes occurred, I was using a Windows system (first XP, later Win7) and r1q2 with default opengl. At first, only r1q2 crashed several times, later the crash of r1q2 would let the OS crash, too, while internet traffic went on.
These crashes seemed to affect the vid card slot in use while the rest of the board - and vid card - seemed to remain functional. Only the last crash damaged an HDD, too.
The damaged systems all showed the same symptoms: After the crash booting would not get past the vid card test (vid card fan running full speed, monitor would be black and only turn on for a sec when you switched off the PC). The last board had an additional onboard GPU which was still functional after a crash had rendered the PCI-e slot useless (again, the vid card in use when the crash occured is still working fine on another board). I used the onboard graphic device until another crash happened. After that, the screen would show strange symbols on startup and the boot process would hang up on HDD detection.

The funny thing about it - and the reason why I'm posting this - is: It always happened when playing Q2 online, and regardless of the hardware and the Win-OS in use the damage to the system was the same - or a bit more than the time before.
What makes it kinda odd: Over the last YEARS, whenever a crash occured, someone was spec'ing me. Every time before a crash occurred, either a 160ish or a 140ish ping player would enter the server, move to the sidelines, I would type "players" to find out that he's spec'ing me, and the very next moment my r1q2 would crash. I'm not going to go in detail about those two, for it might as well be coincidental, but instead tell you what I've noticed with the last crashes.

After a crash in August last year had damaged a second mainboard, I abandoned XP because of security issues and set up a clean new (original) Win7 system with completely different hardware - again only for use with Q2. I took my time to update, harden and secure it according to several security guides by authorities and set up a pretty restrictive firewall policy that would only allow connections between my machine and the vanilla server (and AC traffic). I tested it several months, and there were no crashes at all, neither in singleplayer nor via LAN server.
After one week of playing Q2 online though, I would find the Windows firewall acting strange (like not
booting or crashing while I was online), followed by several changes to my registry. I reinstalled Win7
from backup and added additional security settings. After another week or so though, someone would enter the server, move to the sidelines, spec me and r1q2 would crash the next moment, leaving the PCI-e slot damaged. So I reset Win7 again, this time using the onboard GPU.
A week or two later, I called the 160 ping player an asshole while he was offline. Only minutes after that, he would enter, go straight into spectator mode, and the moment I had typed "players" and saw that he was spec'ing me, my system would crash, damaging the onboard GPU and the HDD, rendering a whole machine useless.

A coincident again? I decided to set up a new system and wait if this shit happens again. Which was yesterday, again only a few weeks after I had returned with a new system.
A 160 ping player entered and ran a version check, soon after that, a 140 player entered, changed his name and moved to the sidelines. The next moment the game would act sluggish, players, teleporters and items would disappear or appear kinda warped.
I guess the fact that I was only pretending to be on a Win system prevented the client from crashing the OS this time, for the signs were exactly the same as with former crashes. This time the game would not crash but act sluggish (not like lag, ping didn't change - more like someone was stuffing me with commands) for like half a minute, and IMMEDIATELY go back to normal after the guy in spectator mode had disconnected. Soon after that, the 160 ping player disconnected, too.
I disconnected, too, to see whether the internet traffic would stop - which it did.

I didn't find any connection to unknown IPs in my packet sniffer's log, just the vanilla IP. There were TCP,
UDP, a few HTTP, several unknown Bit-Torrent protocol packets and a whole lot of malformed packets via the Q2 ports.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to read this data and identify malicious stuff.

My question: Could it be there's something similar to the old "spectator-kill issue" where a spectator could kill a player by typing "kill"in console? Some command entered by a spectator, messing with video settings or the like and that might cause the player's client to crash, causing a buffer-overflow and / or compromise the system? Even damage it's hardware?

If not, what else could have caused these crashes and hardware damage on different systems within so short a period of time? Any ideas?

Bot Drop / Jman walling?

« on: July 02, 2012, 05:59:54 AM »

Hi guys,

the crying about me walling (and botting) seems to be starting again, at least there's an increasing number of complaints ingame lately, and obviously, those guys are serious about it. So before the first demo with new hack-accusations gets posted, I thought I'd just drop by and invite you to spec me. You'll be wasting your time (my gameplay is nothing special), but feel free to take a look and record demos whenever you like. Or let me know if you need first person demos.

To those wondering why I'm no longer using AC: I'm on a linux system. Why? Simply because with Windows, I always seem to end up with trojans/malware on my HDD. Even when I put quite some effort in securing, hardening and restricting stuff, and even though I'm just using it for quake2 and nothing else.

The current linux solution helps to limit the danger of infection, that's all.

Bot Drop / Re: zbot on vanilla

« on: January 16, 2012, 02:14:03 PM »

I was too busy enjoying to kick the living shit out of this jerk and to trick him into admitting that he was botting. When I wanted to go in spec mode, he had already disconnected - else I'd have added a demo.

This was meant to be a heads-up; if you see him, check on him. I may not be experienced enough to recognize a more sophisticated bot, but I do recognize badly configured / very obvious ones. For instance those that hit you hard the second you poke your nose or toe out.
The two occasions that were alarming for me:

1. when he railed me bulls eye the moment when I came crouching around a corner (not making any noise at all - that moment I at first thought he was using a wh)
2. when he railed me bulls eye the moment I glimpsed around a corner while he was looking in the other direction (he turned around and fragged me at high speed, immediately turning back into the exact direction he was headed for).

You'll notice his favourite weapon was the railgun. You'll see that he fragged 10 people in a row after asking me if I had skype - that was more than obvious, for he was just standing there, hitting everything in sight.

His invite to talk to him on skype is quite tempting... But I guess I'll respectfully decline his offer and just take a demo in case he returns tomorrow.

Hi guys,

I condumped a conversation I had with a guy named Simoza93 on vanilla; haven't seen that guy around before today, and he was botting. Enjoy! :-D
Btw., I think he was on with two other noob-buddies earlier today, so there may be some more botting soon.


simoza93 entered the game

Hey guys,

Pudi seems to be mad about getting owned by cowie. He is on about "asian monkeys" and "asian slaves", and I mean like the last 1 1/2 hours or so. Could someone please drop by and make him shut up already, if you agree that this sounds kinda racist?
Thanks.
