I was reading the 20 Feb 2010 edition of the Telegraph Magazine and Olivia Williams who plays Adelle DeWitt in Dollhouse low point was:
Being a corpse in a real morgue in a real drawer on a real zinc bed in a real fridge, naked.
For a cop show.

Formally called Civony this browser based game brings you a very basic medieval game in which you create your city and expand your empire. This is really a cross between Age of Empire and a Sim City type game.
You start with following the basic quests given to you which is a tutorial that lasts for seven days building up your city, from cottages to barracks, town hall, farms and works. Each building is time each upgrade is time, hence the meaning running in real-time. I have to say I do get rather bored by this game, there doesn’t seem too much depth to it.
A direct copy of Age of Empire’s is the farming system, collecting food, wood, stone and metal. The same again when building your army.
The landscape is repetitive all over the place. There is no continuity, structure or beauty to this game, the graphics look okay but there is no glamour. There are level changes in the map structure and this doesn’t really happen in reality and shouldn’t happen here. It looks wrong and seems wrong.
A feature of the game is the shopping which is very expensive and isn’t worth spending any of your money on. I don’t want to increase boredom by descressing boredom.
Game score:
1.5 out of 5

I decided to play Star Trek Armada 2 again on my new PC and decided to go visit GameWinners.com forum. In 2001 the site was very popular and there was a lot of activity. Loads of different forums and lots of informative people.
I was looking for the Star Trek folder of the forum, but alas they had deleted it. Even still they had deleted the Star Wars folder.
I was simply told this is down to the popularity if there isn’t enough people interested then they delete them. I have always been against deleting informative posts or information.
For a website to hold it’s populace and popularity you shouldn’t force people out to other sites. Even if this is a the fringe, they can come back to a website if they remember it being good. But the fringe people on the web don’t count for the whole, but they certainly help to drive the content and awareness of a website up.
And just to confirm of which I am theorising here, alexa.com/siteinfo/gamewinners.com

Greeting from Mrs. Melinda Cojuangco
Hello Dear,
My name is Mrs. Melinda Cojuangco, I am sorry the way these email came to you but I hope you will understand that it’s out of circumstances that I have contact you.
I am the wife of Late Mr Lucio Cojuangco who was the former Philippines director of mineral resources who was assassinated along side with our son in 2007 in connection with government of Philippines due to greed and jealousy of his wealth.
I am writing you due to what I have suffered here by my late husband’s first wife and her children in connection with the government because the first wife is a relation to the president of Philippines. This is because my late husband willed 70% of his assets to me and my daughter which have been forcefully taken away from me by the first wife and her children with the connections of her sister who is in the presidency.
In one of the envelop I received from my late husband’s lawyer, I saw a deposit certificate and certificate of legalization documents for a security company abroad with a later which explained to me that my late husband deposited a trunk box in a security company which the box contains $23M USD in cash and Black diamond which worth $5M USD.
I am contacting you because I want you to help me in securing the money and help me leave Philippines since the first wife of my late husband through the government now monitor all my movement and also which right now I am leaving in absolute hardship because they stripped me off all my late husband’s assets and left me with nothing. I hope to trust you as you will not sit on this money when you claim it. I am ready to give you 35% of the total money the diamonds for your assistance. If you are willing to help me, I will wait to hear from you so that i will give you more details on how to follow up.
God Bless you as you help.
Mrs. Melinda Cojuangco
If I knew any better I would of thought she was trying to con money out of me! O wait, she is, well then, why is Mr.Richard Wang doing the exact same thing? And for that matter, is the Nigerian Mafia and other pathetic organizations thinking they can still get away with these silly emails. Wake up already criminals, try something new before the Ipolice catch you.

I have had my mobile for a while now, it is the Nokia 5610 Xpress Music phone which I brought in Thailand. The camera on the device is a 3.2 megapixel A/F camera with flash. Enjoy some of the photo’s I have taken with it.

I rather enjoyed the film, the acting was good with a good cast. Lines were very well delivered and the trains did not run on time. At times it felt a little slow, other times you felt for the characters, but for some reason they didn’t make you feel claustrophobic down in those tunnels.
At one point of the film the police decided to do a crazy run trying to deliver the money on time. This seemed a stupid scene, but that was about it. And that was it, there was no twists or turns, no loose ends. Just a nice little small package with a typical ending.

Well this is a film of non-stop action and a bit too much all at once. I was surprised by the cast members know, a good cast in essence, some of the jokes were good. At times the CGI looked bad and many times I saw copies of other films.
Everything seemed to happen so fast I forgot what I was watching at some point, but going back, there are evil guys and good American guys. With a few French, English here and there.
The next thing I knew was that they took a long time on the streets of Paris in an effort doing their best to destroy the city. Next thing they were all under huge amounts of ice. Scenes seemed to be copied from Star Wars and all hell had broken loose.
Well I am glad that is over now! For me the best scene in the whole film was the first flashback of Snack Eye’s as a child. There we saw a very well choreographed fight scene between two foes who meet later in life. The few flashbacks certainly helped to explain a few things, but there wasn’t enough of them.
It still didn’t seem to explain how planet Earth evolved so quickly or why this is all suppose to happen. And why the hell would anyone build an advance base under the sand in Egypt? That’s been done to death already, the base should of at least been in the US!
I don’t want to be too harsh, but after my head is spinning I am only going to give the film a score of.
2 out of 5.

I rather enjoyed this film and it was the first film I have seen in 3D from what I remember. Although I found that my eyes strained a little the animation in 3D was amazing.
My favorite character with this franchise has always been the squirrel and he didn’t disappoint. His jokes were the best, he fell in love with a sex red squirrel. The next has to be Simon Pegg’s weasel known as Buck who was a swash-buckling pirate character. However the main weasel Sid i never really found funny, a pathetic character full of pathetic jokes.
So Sid finds three T-Rex eggs and manages to go off on the journey making new friends and managing to get his old friends almost eaten. Nevertheless it was one happy ending.

I don’t know how many other people have tried to enter the McCoy’s comp and failed. But for me I have tried with Google Chrome, Firefox and IE. Well my cookies are enabled on all those browsers. I just seem to have the most success with IE.
Still it does take a long time to enter, considering when the barcode is exactly the same on the back on the packet for the specific flavour! I don’t know if there is success for different flavours or not. But it does save you having to buy a pack every day, I guess this means I can enter the comp every day with out buying.
That is definitely a floor in the promotion on the packets, at least it saves me getting fat!
