This article covers the basics of a heroes, villains and ideological conflicts. It does break things down very simply. One thing that this article premises is that villains always lose and that is the way it should be. It does note that sometimes villains win, but they presume that it is best when they don’t. I personally have always liked it when the villain does win. Now I don’t always want the villain to win, but when it is done properly it can be a great story. [More]

I am not sure why the blogger is getting from this but it is obviously advertising. I just don’t see the value in this service. Maybe other’s do. [More]

This is funny, we have a technology that can help us remove our dependency on fossil fuels and we find out that it causes a disturbance in the force so much that it effects radar. This effect could cause blank spots in our ability to watch the skies for terrorists or bombers coming in. I would be interested in seeing who comes up with a wind turbine that doesn’t cause this problem, you know someone will. It is like the genius that came up with the blade-less fan. Someone will do it. [More]

I am taking this from the article. Sorry to shameless take it from it, but I can’t say it better. [More]

Might & Magic online game. I just checked it out and it is similar to other kingdom creation games.
