Dice Wars!

Most flash games are pretty bad, but there are some good ones out there and i believe i've found one. DICE WARS!. Set in the near future Dice wars takes you on a out of this world adventure pitting you against some of the ai imaginable.

This game isn't easy and may take a few games to get good at but it is horribly addictive to those strategy fans out there ( ;] ).

How the game works!

You start off with a few territories with a few dice on them, when it's your turn you can choose to take a terrtory close to you. BUT! you wont always take it, lets say the territoy you have has 6 dice and then territoy they have has 7, then will most likly win. How battle works is each dice on your territory rolls a number and all those numbers are added up to produce a single number, then the opposing territoy does the same and the territory with the biggest end number wins that terrtory. This adds a element of luck to the game.

At the end of each turn you recieve a few more die which is randomly divided between your territories, the more territories you own the more dice you recieve. So naturaly you want to take as much land as you possibly can. But in most situatons this could be a bad move. If you play with 8 players then they are all going to go for the biggest enemy, so you have to know when to make your move.

It isn' that annoying kind of strategy either, you know the one you find in monopoly where everyone hates eachother at the end. It's a rewarding kind of strategy, exhausting but when you finally win it's rewarding.

Sorta reminds me of that board game risk, except this game wont take aslong to finish. Looking back on board games i'm kinda glad they stopped making as many and made more video games. Before i owned my own computer i played alot of board games, games like chess, risk, monopoly and they ussually ended up with everyone yelling at eachother which was pretty funny. I remember one game of monopoly i had when i was in grade 4 i think, the banker went to get another drink of "soda" so one us mischivious kids took $500 then so did everyone else, then we started yelling at eachother because most of the bankers money was gone and he would notice, then the banker came back and started yelling and then we all stopped playing and got even more pissed because noone got to win. one kid even cried. Board games pwn.

The world of warcraft.

Let me start by saying wow(world of warcraft) is NOT cool.

It's a kids game, and kids are idiots, when i was a kid i was a idiot i'm not denying that but for some reason this game still appeals to other demographics.

And don't give me any of that "It's just a game steven, only played for fun lol" I'm just tired of Julian saying he's a pro gamer because blizzard decided to implement a combat system in their fantasy world.

Godamnit, what happend to blizzard anyway, you wouldn't expect the creaters of Diablo II and Starcraft to make 3 crappy fanatsy RTS's (real Time Strategy) and a crappy mmorpg(massivly multiplayer online role playing game). The only cool fantasy game they made was diablo II, now that game was fricken awesome. The combat in that game was ruthless, none of that "agree to have a friendly fight for fun lol(laugh out loud)" in diablo it's "hey this lower level amazon is standing right outside of the rogue encampment, I can quickly go hostile with her attack her and kill her in under 3 seconds and run back to town before she knows what happend".

What's even better about Diablo II is the storyline which when you complete(and you wont) you can do it again but in nightmare mode(harder, like starting over but with all your weapons and high level) then when you complete nightmare you can do it one last time in HELL mode which is impossible, why you ask, i'll tell you.

The first time you fight Diablo in act IV you'll die, then you'll make a portal in the Chaos santuary so you can run in give Diablo all you've got then run threw the portal back to town, buy more potons, repair, then do it all over again until he's dead. In hell he regenerates his life. Sometimes faster than you can hurt him. What's even worse is that he might have a immunity to something. If he has a immunity to Physical damage and you're a barbarian then you better hope you put alot of skill pionts in concentrate (magic damage) otherwise you'll have to save/exit and face him again.

Think you can do it with other players online? no way it's even harder, when another person joins your game everything gets stronger. And after killing diablo in HELL mode which you'll never do, don't expect to finish act V (the last act) in hell mode because it really is impossible unless they released some sissy wow influenced patch that fixes that.

The picture is a barbarian by the way, i was going to have some wow(world of warcraft)pictures by most of them are just elves casting "magic" which just isn't cool. And i know there's magic in Diablo but the magic in diablo is badass, in wow you can summon like 1 creature or something, well the Necromancer in diablo can summon 20 meelee skeletons, 20 skeleton mages, and 1 golem either mud/blood/iron or fire. And if that isn't badass enough the druid in diablo summons a bear. Yes i know the hunter in wow(world of warcraft) has a bear so stop bitching about the flaws in my argument plz.

Now let me get to wow's(world of warcraft) actual world, the virtual reality people get soaked up in. I hate it first of all. It also looks like a dream I would have if I was a 7 year old who just watched lord of the rings. Yeah real "pro gamer" Julian battling mythical creatures in a world of pretty castles and bueatiful landscapes. Seriously the whole "fantasy" world thing is a sham, it's just the dark ages for 3 year olds.

(I took the picture of the pope out because it was irrelavant.)

FIN.

007

Originally a book the 007 series flew to the top as a series of movies. The character James Bond was named after a aurthor of another book which the writer of 007 thought sounded right for his character. But no one cares about that.

007 IS action. For some reason all the new action movies are getting more and more realistic, realism sucks, there's no action in reality. Lets take clint eastwood for example, one of his later movies he was a cop and after negotiations with some robbers failed he drove threw the store with his car got out and shot them all.

IRL (in real life) this would not have happend, but noone wants to see policemen save people by "negotiating" we want to see the policemen use everything neccessary and more to stop the bad guys.

This is getting to my second piont, stunt doubles are loosing buisness. No more crazy stunts in movies anymore, all we have in 2006 is Hillary Duff riding her electric scooter. No one likes electric scooters OR italy, we want tanks and Russia which happens to be in the 007 film Golden Eye which IMO (in my opinion) is the best james bond film.

The new James Bond films are a bit more realistic in their action but not THAT realistic which is awesome, we still get the unexplained explosions we know and love (see WATER WORLD for more info) there's nothing better than a jet ski blowing up because it drifted next to a wall.

What really curdles my milk is when people say "aww wah wah ejecting that seat would not have flipped that car back to its original glory" I actually don't mind that though, if the car didn't flip then James would be forced to get out and walk to the ice palace, but not in time for Halle Berry to drown which isn't that bad because all she does is fail everything in the movie so James has to waste another scene saving then reviving her so her boss later has tell her to follow James onto the bad guy's plane which she fails at flying so it flies straight threw the ray of sun from Icarus which forces James to start a helicopter in mid air then make love to her :(.

This concludes my post on 007 which is indeed VERY cool(the movie not my post... )='().

Except tommorow never dies, that movie sucked.

Commando.

Commando

Commando is pretty cool, just about a MAN who kills alot of bad guys when his daughter is kidnapped by some jerk. It was made around the time when action was more important than "uncool" stuff like "story line" and "realism" so all and all it's pretty cool.
