a plague to the civilisation games has always been the roads. if you start building roads in every square around your cities things can get mighty ugly fast.
as trying to show in the following screenshot:
It turns out, one of the developers of the game, told me, that the game's creators are re-thinking how roads are implemented and displayed in these games. The idea the creators at Civ studio Firaxis are going for is, they said, that "roads will mean something" this time. As in: Even a single road will have relevance and feel as special as a key highway does in the real world.
The Firaxis developers did not elaborate on their road concept for me. They didn't explain how road-building will differ in this game. But they prepared me for a Civ that will not wind up, in its end game, with a spaghetti tangle of roads networking a major nation and its big cities.
here's a proposed screenshot, though no one knows exactly how it works yet.
This one totally passed under my radar. Monolith Software, makers of the xenosaga series of games, was bought by niintendo a couple of years back. they've been working on an RPG for the wii. i don't know when this was announced but they have a teaser site up with some nice background music.
the following is a pic of the site. really, go check it out, very nice music.
Montreal played Tampa last night here in Montreal. generally speaking Tampa was not there most of the game.
i still would of like to have seen price in net but the team just seems to want to play when halak is in. it's like he's a hero on the team and his very presence on the ice gives the players a +2 to their want to play.
Gomez with 3 points (i think RDS said he has 7 points in his last 3 games, must be more than that by now)
Metropolit with a goal and assist
Darche with 2 goals.
A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite..
This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen...forward and backward.
This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant.
I'm buying new headphones. once again i'm going with the Creative EP-630 from dell
they sell for 20$ plus shipping. can anyone give me a reason not to go with these?
maybe something better or cheaper.
they need to be in ear and "sound proof"
the reason i'm buying a new pair is i lost one of the rubber ear pieces that make it comfortable and sound proof.
- Price was amazing and deserved better, but cursed as he is like the previous #31 on this team (Jeff Hackett) he's a good goalie perpetually stuck behind a shitty team.
- Habs are back to one line that might score and a bunch of deadweights that enjoy runnning in circles.
- Everyone will praise the shot blocking of the Habs, but really they just allowed the Sharks to do whatever they wanted in the Habs zone. Lucky for the Habs Price doesn't give off a zillion rebounds like Jaro does. And even then the Sharks still managed 40 shots (projected calculation, if Jaro were there it would have been in the 50-shot range). That's 30 scoring chances too. I honestly don't remember the shots on Nabby 'cause it felt like the Habs had maybe 20 in total and only 10 that were good. (That last glove save Nabby did was actually going wide, all he did was give us on O-zone face off which was stupid of him 'cause the Habs tossed on the extra man).
- CHRIS LEE MUST DIIIIIIIIIIIIE. A stick lift is not a hook you asswipe. And a hip check is not a trip. But oh no, don't call the Sharks on the hooks, trips, grabs 'cause that would be fair. (Not that it mattered, the PP was shit after that one goal Gomez got tipped off a Shark).
- Marleau's shorthanded goal exemplified precisely why they lost last night: Lazy defence and lackadaisical ladida play will be the death of this team. That puck had no business even being in the Sharks possession let alone heading towards the net. Smooth move Markov, Spacek... Maybe someone should start questioning their heart...
- And a curse on you, Vehicular Homicide (Heatley).
- Someone owes Price breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and a lots of hugs and apologies. And if Martin doesn't play him next game he's a fucking moron.
And people are bringing up last year's game against the Sharks and how Jaro "won" that game without bringing up the fact that Brian Boucher was the goalie for the Sharks (not that Nabby was any better, his life wasn't made difficult last night), it was a home game for the Habs without an Olympic break and the old team was together, Habs scored 3 early on Boucher and did nothing the rest of the game while the Sharks got two quick goals in the 2nd and then hit the posts the rest of the game. Suck it, people. Jaro would have gotten pulled last night like all the other goalies in the League (Fleury, Leclaire, Roloson).
But whatever. The Sharks will be bounced in the first round of the playoffs anyway (or second if they're lucky).
see, the thing about Tiesto is that he is fantastic at making music sound great and sneaking in these great little "side-beats" which kind of take over the song. now that i think of it, you could probably say that a lot of his music is transitions between songs. don't understand what i mean? check out the clip.
