Simply beautiful music!
I really enjoy listening to these two. It’s calm and nice, with excellent music quality. She (Yael Naim) also looks pretty cool and she is very beautiful, specially when she wears those fantastic dresses (I like them :P).
I wish them the best of luck!

That’s right, the revolution is coming…and it’s gonna be big!
Civilization Revolution is the new and most recent work of Sid Meier, developed by Firaxis for the new generation consoles: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo DS.

Even though PC gamers (and Civ fans) won’t be able to play Revolution on their PC’s, this new Civilization game by Sid Meier looks pretty amazing with tons of new features and abilities.
Even Sid Meier is looking forward for the release having said “This is the game I’ve always wanted to make.
If Civilization 4 was a success and for many the best strategy game of the year (rated ‘9.4 Editors’ Choice’ by GameSpot), then Civilization Revolution will blow you away.
For those who don’t know, Civilization is a series of turn-based strategy games ‘created’ by Sid Meier, since 1990 with the very first Civilization, followed by Sid Meier’s Civilization II (1996), Sid Meier’s Civilization III (2001), Sid Meier’s Civlization IV (2005), and now Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution (2008).
Civilization series have come a long way now and Revolution is better than ever.

In this new game you will find 16 civilizations (USA - Abraham Lincoln, England - Queen Elizabeth I, China - Mao Zedong, Japan - Tokugawa Ieyasu, Aztecs - Montezuma, India - Mohandas Gandhi, Mongolia - Ghenghis Khan, Rome - Julius Caesar, Egypt - Cleopatra, France - Napoleon Bonaparte, Arabia - Saladin, Greece - Alexander, Spain - Isabella I, Germany - Otto von Bismark, Zulu Nation - Shaka Zulu, Russia - Catherine the Great), an invaluable Civilopedia, a streamlined time scale for quicker play, a fully featured online play mode up to 4 players, integrated videos and voice chatting, in-game achievements, and extra downloadable content. The game also has highly detailed characters, units, buildings, landscapes and visual effects, with an amazing integrated physics for ultra-realism. In-game interface has been improved as well and it now looks awesome…pretty simple and nice.
The new Civilization Revolution intends to attract new gamers and to make the game more playable by all ages by trying to change the classic playing style of Civ. For example, game speed is now very different and you can end a game in only a few hours instead of previous Civ versions (which can be not cool for classic Civ fans, but cooler for first timers).

Preview:

The game will be released on July 7 and so far it looks awesome.
I’m really looking forward this since Civilization series are my favorite…it’s a shame that I don’t have a PS3 or an XBox360.

Goodbye and take care!

(Back Part)

Hi there.
I finally received my T-Shirt 2 or 3 days ago, but I’ve been very busy lately and didn’t have time to post about it before.
The T-Shirt is awesome, I really like it and may I say that it is the first ‘thing’ I receive, directly imported, from the USA (Portugal here!). That’s cool! :D
Anyway, here is a pic of the T-Shirt…

It’s very cool.
I want to double thank Bill for the T-Shirt (thanks Bill :) ) not only for the T-Shirt itself but also because he had to pay to send it across the pacific ocean. Make it a triple thanks…for the gesture Bill :) .
Thanks a lot.

So don’t forget to visit MXTabs.net. If you’re a musician you can find all kind of tabs at MXTabs, and the best part is that they are completely FREE and completely LEGAL. It is the only place on the web where you can find tabs with both these characteristics (besides, who knows if you won’t win a T-Shirt too…).

Take care…and ‘legalize it‘! :D

Apparently there is a DX10 version available for windows XP (which I did not know).
DX10 was supposed to work only with Vista but it seems that Cody Brocious, the Alky Project leader, has released a version of DX10 do XP.
However, this is not an official release from Microsoft and results are not guaranteed, and neither the stability of your computer.
Event though, if you wish to know more about this project or if you want to give it a try, you can visit the Alky Project web site.

Take care!
