I love it when a very simple (and free) web-based game can just capture my attention for the better part of an hour. Good thing that I’m not at work right now with this thing. The concept is very simple. Time your release of stones thrown with a trebuchet to knock down walls, decapitate soldiers, and bring down the king. The big trick in the harder levels is to take down the flag. That’s how the Europeans conquered the world and that’s how you get big points in this game.

Trebuchet away!
Friday, March 6th, 2009Wholesale liquidation
Friday, March 6th, 2009And here’s an interesting idea. It’s an online auction site that specializes in auctioning off stuff like consumer electronics as lots. If you have a burning need to get your hands on 40 XBOX 360s or a truckload of housewares, then this is the place for you to come. Even if you want to unload your 20 iPods or even just a single camcorder, people will come to this site to buy wholesale electronics.
Rubix-pent
Friday, March 6th, 2009Okay, now this is absolutely going over into the ree-donculous. For those out there in the world where the Rubik’s cube is just too easy for their brains to get around. Someone has developed a puzzle cube where each face is a pentagon with a pentagram inside. There are a thousand moving parts and takes days just to create and assemble. Currently it appears to be a one-of-a-kind with the ebay auction taking place soon.
Hopefully, the buyer wants it for it’s beauty and not to open the gates of hell.
Moon wine
Friday, March 6th, 2009Wines from around the world are becoming more and more popular as regional wineries have more and more access to international markets. Recently there has been a major influx of wines from such far flung countries as Chile, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. Maybe the grapes grow better upside down below the equator. Joining a monthly wine club gives you a variety of different types of wines to try everything from local California to international varieties in their wine of the month.
Movie Ender
Friday, March 6th, 2009In the continuing saga of the increasingly delayed saga of an “Ender’s Game” movie, it was recently revealed that although Warner Bros. have did not renew their option to make this classic space yarn into a big-budget classic, another production company immediately gobbled it up. Late last month Orson Scott Card turned in yet another script revision that he calls the best yet to Odd Lot Entertainment. This company appears to be have been around for a few years now with their biggest success coming with last year’s “The Spirit”, costarring Samuel L. Jackson.
Maybe they can get Sam Jackson to join in on a major roll. Do I dare say it? I dare. Mazer Rackham? Could Samuel L. pull off being a half-Maori New Zealander? I hope so.
Losing even more weight
Friday, March 6th, 2009My recent diet of reducing breakfast and lunch to a fruit bar and lots of water (and maybe some sugarless gum) was been another resounding success, but I still haven’t jumped into the weight loss pill crowd yet. If I were ever to need going that far I would want something proven safe and effective without side effects. For the best weight loss pills around those would be definite prerequisites to winning that title.
HBO Thrones
Friday, March 6th, 2009Great news all you fans of Westeros.
News has just hit the Swedish press that the day is coming soon for filming to begin on what will be the greatest fantasy television series ever. That’s right. I’m predicting that right now.
Producer David Benioff recently spoke with the Swedish press about many different projects, one of them being George R. R. Martin’s tremendous opening chapter to the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, “A Game of Thrones”. HBO has the option and everything is falling into place. Benioff revealed that locations are being prepared in Ireland and filming will begin around October of this year.
Can’t wait to get news of casting and production stills and set design and finally release dates.
TW watches
Friday, March 6th, 2009If you’re looking for your ordinary, plain old time keeping wrist ornament, then this is definitely not the place for you. If you’re looking for something dramatic, different, interesting, or striking, then TW Steel watches are something to look into, especially when you can get a good online deal for one. With multiple dials, the date, tachymeter, and chronograph all at arm’s length away, you can’t do better than this.
