LoTRO’s update hits Europe

Turbine’s Book 13 content update for Lord of the Rings Online has finally touched down in Europe, while Gandalf wannabes over in North America have been nerding their way through it for nearly a week already.

Book 13: Doom of the Last-King introduces a brand new region, a new faction, a new class for LotRO’s PvP solution Monster Play, a new hobby system, loads of new quests and the continuation of the epic storyline that threads through the title.

Turbine’s working its arse off to get these updates out and the next one, Book 14, is due this summer. The first full expansion for LotRO, Mines of Moria, should be with us in the autumn.

Keep eyes peeled for an interview with Turbine on Mines of Moria gracing these pages in the not-too-distant future.

So I've been in germany for a month now...
Hallo!

So I've been in Germany for about a month now. So many things to talk about and so many photos to upload. But since I don't have internet in my apartment yet, and I'm still using the library for interweb usage, the huge update will have to wait. So this is a teaser. :P

The next update will include EVERYTHING that happened from my departure to my first month in Germany. And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING! I feel like Harold Crick from "Stranger Than Fiction"....


Tschuess!
 
 
   
 

Europe or Eurabia?

 

Here are some interesting thoughts on the Islamization of Europe by Daniel Pipes. Hopefully to inspire you to read the entire article, I think a good summation of Pipes’ point is this: Europe will voluntarily slip into Islamization or as Sharia Law confronts European Egalitarianism, civil war or civil wars will break out across European lands that have significant Mohammedan populations.

 

Just at the top of my head this would include most of Western Europe (e.g. Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and so on) and Russia.

 

Even though this essay is about a potential Eurabia, it would behoove America, Canada and Australia to take a long look at what a non-Western Culture can do to society.

Elections in Italy!
Italian people are going out to vote this coming Sunday. Elections are usually all about WINNING! During campaigns, the candidates promise THE MOON, people pretend to believe that, and the winner takes it all. These coming elections seem to be about LOSING; no matter what the outcome will be, everybody already knows who has LOST: it's THE ITALIAN PEOPLE!!
Both contending coalitions have recently governed Italy ...with DISGRACEFUL results! Saying that Italy is a country in DECLINE is a euphemism. It is impossible not to notice that something has gone TERRIBLY WRONG as you can read in THIS ARTICLE from the NY TIMES. Not to mention the ECONOMIC CRISIS ...
In spite of all this, people talk about politics relentlessly, political talk shows dominate prime time television (there are more than 25 weekly talk shows, while seven of them are on the air every night)...PEOPLE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF IT! How is that possible?? I HAVE A BIZARRE YET SOUND THEORY ABOUT IT...AND IT CAN BE SUMMARIZED BY THE FOLLOWING FORMULA:
Photobucket
Yes, Italian politics is a sort of WWE Wrestling for grown-ups! Let me explain. Have you ever seen a wrestling match? Two or more over sized people pretend to beat up one another, while performing stunts, setting objects on fire, sealing opponents in coffins, throwing scooters at each other, etc. Everybody knows that it's ALL FAKE! Fighters who pretend to be divided by FIERCE RIVALRIES, actually go to parties together, share limos, use the same brand of anabolic steroids...and MOST IMPORTANT THING, they have a fair share of the huge business they are part of!! The business is quite prosperous because children and "children at heart" love the HOOLABALOO...and pay a lot of money to attend the shows or watch them on pay-per-view channels.
Think of Italian politics now. The main protagonists go to the numerous talk shows and attack one another, vomiting hate and profanities...  Their fights are very VIBRANT and flirt with people's lowest instincts. When the talk shows are over, ALL THE POLITICIANS go to parties together, pull over their limos at the same fancy restaurants, go to the same plastic surgeon...and MOST IMPORTANT THING, they have a fair share of the huge business they are part of...as you can read in THIS ARTICLE ...
It doesn't matter...people love the endless amusement provided by politicians...even if there is a price to pay: economic crisis, sky high unemployment, garbage in the streets, and looming bankruptcy...
People should feel pretty much like this...
Photobucket
...but they don't. Sunday they will go out with enthusiasm, and vote for their beloved CLOWNS!!
Why do people tolerate a situation like this?? My theory can easily answer this question: try and tell an 8-year-old kid that wrestling is fake, and that John Cena kicked Triple H's butt because it was in the "script"...EXACTLY!!
SO...WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?? NOWHERE...THE CATASTROPHE IS INEVITABLE!
IT'S A GOOD THING, THOUGH! We will have a chance to START FRESH...and learn from the mistakes of the past. We will finally have an admistration worthy of a country that retains 75% of the World's Cultural Heritage.
Ti faccio i miei migliori auguri, Italia! - I wish you all the best, Italy!
 
PS. If you ever wonder why I don't live in Italy anymore...
