Kuando el Rey Nimrod (When King Nimrod)

feeds@yuku.com (Dan) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:13:18 GMT

Since I've already posted this on AH.com and CF.net, might as well start posting this series I'm working on here. All I've got done so far is Part I, which I could try posting here as a series of 2 updates per week for 5 weeks in a row. In addition, feedback is always appreciated. Currently, I'm working on Part II, and once I get that done, I'll update this as well to reflect the latest posts. Is that all right with everyone?

Sanctuary & Warehouse 13

feeds@yuku.com (TomB1) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:02:52 GMT

I have been watching both "Sanctuary" and "Warehouse 13" on Syfy (not keen on that renaming marketing gimmick) There are a great many similarities between the two shows both of which are still struggling to define themselves. Magnus collects and shelters living things with unusual powers while Artie collects unusual artifacts often with dangerous power. Both shows have a fascination with steampunk. Initially the director character had 2 principal agents, one male and one...

In order to make things more organised and reduce scrolling for people, a new History Forum has been created and the General History, East Asian History, World's Monarchies and Rome & Byzantium forums have been moved into it.

Hearts of Iron III

feeds@yuku.com (AngusH) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:46:57 GMT

I liked Hearts of Iron II, however Hearts of Iron III seems to be a bit of a letdown as far as the AI is concerned.

Playing Germany 1936 compaign, after 1939 and Poland, Britain invaeded Germany in December 1939!!
This sort of AI has runined the game for me, I will keep waiting for the patch to fix this type of problem along with several others, but have stopped playing this game for a while and gone back to Hearts of Iron II.

I give Hearts of Iron III 4 out of 10,...

AH.com Outage

As I realise that some people may be coming here looking for information about AH.com's current disappearance from the net, I can confirm that I can't access it either.

New Battlestar Galactica Movie

feeds@yuku.com (King Sargon) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:44:39 GMT

I've recently come across news that says that Universal have secured the rights to make a theatrical movie with Bryan Singer to direct it. Now, as far as I know it has nothing to do with Ron Moore's version, and it rumoured to either be a continuation of the original, or yet another reimagining.

Has anyone else heard about this? Thoughts?

Torchwood Season 3: Children of Earth

feeds@yuku.com (King Sargon) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:18:34 GMT

Well, it has kicked off with a large bang here in the UK, all five episodes shown on consecutive nights for the whole week. Am enjoying it so far, although I'd be happier if there were certain others in it that were hinted to turn up, but there are still 3 more to watch!

New Terminator film

feeds@yuku.com (AngusH) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 07:59:02 GMT

This seems to be the year (well so far) where most of the films that I have seen I do like.
The Terminator film did not make much sense and it did not seems to fit in very well with the other Terminator films.

Star Trek Movie

feeds@yuku.com (AngusH) — Fri, 08 May 2009 07:44:00 GMT

Has anyone seen or going to see the new Star Trek Movie, as I would like to know if it is worth seeing?

Thanks

Absent Again

Apologies to all Stronghold members as I've been absent due to real life issues and terrible internet connectivity. Rest assured that I am still alive though and hope to post more soon.
