Rise of the Nations

Great game, meant to be even better than my beloved Age of Empires II.

I Believe In a Thing Called Love by The Darkness

This is one of my favourite songs of the year to date. It’s like a mixture of a reincarnated Freddie Mercury, 1983-1988 and Beatles’-like drumming in a glam rock package, resulting in great music.

From what i have heard so far “Permission to Land” will be the first album i’ve bought in a long time. Or someone else can buy it for me if they are feeling generous.

I keep on through habit fitting an arrow to the string, then I remember and have to lay the bow down. So many roads lead thought to H. I set out on one of them. But now there’s an impassable frontierpost across it. So many roads once; now so many cul de sacs. (263)
