Well, he has more muscle-mass than I do.

Transmorphers 2

Oh my God, this may just be the best trailer I've ever seen!!!!



I especially admire the helicopter tour stock footage they used so well. And the dialogue!

EDIT: Yes, this movie stars THE Bruce Boxleitner!

The Evony Trap

Apparently, there's some pretty insidious stuff going on with Evony (you know, that MMORTS whose ads include only great, heaving chests scantily clad in lingerie?). Especially now that there's something called iEvony coming out...

I'll let Ark's Ark explain:

One thing I didn't know was that Evony comes from China. Where they don't care too much about international copyright laws, I guess.
The effect of this: Evony's creators steal (or at least they did, up until very recently) all their avatars and in game graphics from games like Civilization and Age of Empires.

I'm a big fan of AoE. Not cool, guys.
If even half of this is true, I suggest staying away from Evony. There are plenty of free browser strategy games.

A Helpful Guide

I've only ever played a few MMORPGs, but in that time I've come across a lot of terminology I didn't understand. And it's difficult to have to keep asking the other players "Hey, what's that mean?" when you're in the middle of something.

So... a helpful guide to Online Gaming acronyms!

Enjoy, lawl!
