IGN: The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II Review Battle for Middle-earth II is proof that EA was serious about getting back into the good graces of serious RTS fans. There's a lot to experience with this entry into the series including three new factions, a redesigned base building mode, some awesome new powers, terrific improvements to the engine, a tighter campaign mode, and both skirmish and War of the Ring. This might actually be a detriment to some players who liked the simplicity of the first game, but I'm quite pleased. It's a pretty traditional RTS, but it's also a very good one. in Computing > Computer Gameswith battlecomputereaearthgamelordmiddleofpcreviewringsthevideo
The Cowbell - Saturday Night Live comedy sketch "More Cowbell" is a line from a April 8, 2000 Saturday Night Live comedy sketch about the recording of the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" by Blue Öyster Cult. Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keys. The foundation of rock music. Occasionally strings are used to give a lush, orchestral feel. But we all know when a song needs that extra oomph, that extra push over the top, there's only one thing that will satisfy: The Cowbell. in Lifestyle > Musicwith bluecowbellcultculturedontfearferrelljellylivemorenightoysterparodypopularreapersaturdaysnltelevisionthetvwill Note: Background: In a BEHIND THE MUSIC parody from SNL, Walken plays a famous producer insisting that "More Cowbell" is the key to making Blue Oyster Cult's "Dont Fear the Reaper"
::FEED THE RAT:: To FEED THE RAT is a prevention, a cure. A remedy for being sick and tired of being sick and tired, of anxiety, of confusion. An avoidance technique to prevent each superficial day after superficial day leading to the inevitable thinness of meaning in the endless flatland. A rejection of nebulous limits, demands, being a slave to the clock and a having a life lived in bursts. Some people are different; only one percent of the world's population will relate to this. These are unique individuals who have their own stimulants. They are detatched from the rest of society, the normal, mundane, dull everyday society. They are unable to endure an existence that is overwhelmingly safe, predictable and tedious. It is a way of life they are compelled to reject. in Fitnesswith feedfeedtheratfitnessoutdoorsphilopsophyratthe
Reporting America at War . Malcolm W. Browne . The Buddhist Protests of 1963 | PBS "It was clearly theater staged by the Buddhists to achieve a certain political end. At the same time, there was a human element to it that was just horrifying, because the sequence of pictures showed the initial shock of the flames touching his face, and so forth. He never cried out or screamed, but you could see from his expression that he was exposed to intense agony, and that he was dying on the spot — and then, in the end, when the body was rigidly burned, they couldn't stuff him into a casket because he was splayed out in all directions. As shock photography goes, it was hard to beat. It's not something that I'm particularly proud of. If one wants to be gruesome about it, it was a very easy sequence of pictures to take." in Political > Newswith againstamericabrownemachinemalcolmnicoprotestrageratmthewar
