Downloaded Seal Online.
Suddenly there was ifinst27.exe on my computer. In the C drive no less when Seal was loaded to run on D.
So now the question is, do I date see if I can connect to this game or do I give up early the search for something to help me destress. Because seriously malware and possibly trojan alerts are not de-stressful. Oh no, they are the opposite of no stress. (90mins give or take of running scans and other tech things)
(Do I try Seal and Elf Online?)

I have noted that the creatures in Fairyland are almost too cute to be hacked at just for points n'stuff. It's disturbing.

ifinst27.exe was the effing Uninstall???????????
And now the extra spyware stuff I put on my computer last night, won't let it reinstall (so I could even uninstall it -wtf?)
I'm cranky. I'm cranky for a whole lot of reasons. I'm cranky cause it looks as if that above mentioned exe file was the uninstall for SEAL ONLINE. I'm cranky because I'm having to reinstall the game in order to have uninstall capabilities and take the damn thing off. I'm cranky because I want to uninstall the game, because there is a minimum of technical support - I couldn't even use their contact us text field - it wouldn't send - I had to email to find out what the heck the suspicious file was and not one ever got back to me. And there's no mention in their guide to installation that this is the uninstall file, it loads separately onto the C drive, blah blah blah.
I'm cranky because I enjoy the option of having the game windowed. I like the bright colours. I like the fighting motion and how the text fields are framed for interaction with NPCs. I like the music. I like the concept of crafting, even if I really don't understand it and just wanted to name the character Harley - cause BIG ASS MALLET. But I'm crankyh because I can't make anyone brown.
It's a game of preset hair combinations and that's it. No change in skin colour or eye colour. Even Fairyland let me make a brown elf (and a brown human and a brown dwarf!)
Looking for information on various MMORPG forums I stumbled across someone asking if one particular game (I forget which) let you shade character's brown. If it didn't this person wasn't interested in playing. And there were several replies about how racist that was and how he should be all about the game and not bring that stuff into their fun place.
And I found myself thinking - nah, that's honest. After being surrounded by white people all the live long day, if you want to have a brown character to play with why not?
It made me think about the hue and cry that would come out if a really cool game was released and all the default templates for characters were brown or darker brown, or dark as night black. But you could
buy some pale pigmentation and blonde hair at the cash shop. Oh wouldn't there be fretting and cries of racism, reverse racism, all sorts o shit.
So I'm admitting now that I like being able to play brown characters. Truthfully I like playing mutts like myself - as in when you go past bi-racial cause your parents were bi-racial and their parents etc, you're a mutt. You're multi-racial, you're mixed. I've got straight haired, green eyed cousins, I've got aunts with buttery pale skin. I've got relatives that look like the head maintence guy in this 'apt of lies' - he's got light brown-golden skin and green eyes.
Anyway, SEAL ONLINE, all chubby faced white kids roaming around.
4:01pm (Reinstall was successful. Uninstall was successful) So now to ponder if I want to reinstall at all. I like the thought of evil bunny bad guys and I like the bright colours. I just... I want not to feel so claustrophobic when I play a game though. I don't know if it'd have mattered to me -as much- in the past. But boy does it matter now.
PS: I tried to uninstall first time 'round because there was an error that wasn't letting the game launch.
4:11pm:
They call it a REGGAE HAIRSTYLE.
Oh HELLS no that shit's getting permanently taken off my computer. Not only is it wrong to call it Reggae and not dreads or locks,but on a purely white face? As a fucking TREND OF FASHION?!!!
Fuck you Seal Online. Fuck. You.
4:!8pm And on closer inspection of the pic itself. I can see
braids. Oh us crazy whacky black people with the things in our hair.
More buggering up the ass with a scissors SEAL ONLINE. All for you.
