I have to start off by saying that this isn't a story. This is a warning first and foremost. Whether you believe me or not just know that what I say is true and know you have been warned. Now I guess to make you understand what I’m talking about and what I’m warning you about I have to start at the beginning. I have been an avid gamer for years but there has always been a series I never really touched. "Phantasy
I was downloading some ROMs of ROM hustler to play some games I never had. One of the games I came across was "Phantasy Star
As I came in to some generic town in the game I noticed something odd on some of the character sprites. Certain character sprites’ eyes were pixelated… Pixelated is the wrong word. Their eyes were static, like an old TV when it loses signal. I figured that it was nothing more than an odd graphical glitch from the rom or emulator as happens at times and kept playing. As I progressed through the game more and more sprites had that graphical glitch. Certain character sprites when I would speak to them would only state, "We are
I began to enjoy the game more thinking this was a cool story point. I reached a point where I had to talk to a certain character to progress and when I reached them they had the glitched eyes. I spoke to him to move on but all I got was the, "We are
At this point I began to realize the game must be hacked as some joke from a deranged hacker. I went to another ROM site to get a new ROM of the game and started a new game. As soon as the game began it began to glitch terribly causing it to freeze up. After a few moments it came to a new screen saying simply, "We are
I began to get ready to do a factory reset on my computer after the virus scan found nothing. I was going through the folder containing my pictures hoping to save them before I restored my computer. As I looked though my pictures I saw each one had the same static eyes as from the game. At this point I began to think this was more than a simple virus. I had never heard of a virus changing such a specific item on a .jpeg.

I became more and more entranced by what I saw as I scrolled through the pictures. When I reached the last picture I saw something that shocked and still bothers me to this day. The picture was of me sitting at my computer. A picture I didn't take. Somehow my computer had taken of picture of me while this was going on. The eyes had the same static as all the others, except on thing was truly off setting, the text… The simple text captioned to that picture simply stating:
"We are
My computer was restored and seems to be fine now as of this date. I haven’t put any ROMs on my computer since that day. Nor have I removed the piece of duct tape I placed over the camera on my laptop. I don’t know who was in my computer or what the point of this was, but just knowing that someone could take away my privacy like that. Knowing that there may be more hacked ROM files with the same code in them. I warn you. Beware what you download, for they are watching…
