For about a month now, I’ve been playing this online multiplayer game called Lord of Ultima. And I think I really like it, so I’m going to recommend it for any of you w![100126-lords[1]](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_Tl7xVSHEwJs/TBKWeFewqfI/AAAAAAAAAWw/lDW43vLw0m0/100126-lords%5B1%5D%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800 "100126-lords[1]")
ho like me, 1 – Like games, 2 – Like to play with your friends, 3 – Like civilization style games, 4 – Hardly ever find the time to play anything at all. =)
Lord of Ultima is a strategy / civilization style game that’s fully browser based, and runs quite smoothly on most any browser / system. So it requires no installation of any kind. You sign up for an account, choose a server, and start building cities and armies. You can choose to go to war with other players, or focus on building your empire. You can invite your friends to join in an alliance with you, and you can support each other. And the nicest part of all of this from the point of view of someone like me, is that it “can” take very small amount of time to play. Even though people do get obsessed and spend hours just staring at their monitors as stuff get built [or so I’m told], but that’s not something you have to do. 😉 Personally I play this game for 30 seconds each time, in between working or studying… and just that.
I currently play on Server 6 EU, where me and friends have an alliance called Ariadne. If you’re by any chance tempted to join the game and play with us, you can check out a brief profile of our alliance @ Ariadne.Aasemoon.com. Feel free to drop me a line if you like to join. =)
Today a friend said to me “you should really see the Robin Hood movie, it’s right up your![robin_hood_2010_poster[1]](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Tl7xVSHEwJs/TAbhSyZOV2I/AAAAAAAAAWs/4XmkzDc0c54/robin_hood_2010_poster%5B1%5D_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800 "robin_hood_2010_poster[1]")
alley!”. And I said, “oh it totally is, and I’ve already seen it!”. And he said “but… but… but… but… but there’s nothing about it on your bloooooooooggggg!!!!”. Well, you can imagine the utter SHAME I felt at that moment! =P Oh my GOD, how did I manage to not write anything about my all time favourite version of Robin Hood?? So let me fix that now…
Yes, a couple of weeks a go we went to see Robin Hood. And I’m glad that despite a few discouraging comments that I heard / read about the movie here and there, I did go to see it. I have to say I don’t understand what’s not to like! In fact I enjoyed watching the movie IMMENSELY! =) The small but important modifications made to the plot felt like they were exactly what Robin Hood always needed to turn into a most interesting story. Since I know many of you haven’t seen it yet, I’m not going to say much more… but I just have to say that everything about this movie was very impressive. The cast were the best possible, and the the whole mood and feel of the movie really worked for me. So don’t listen to anyone who says otherwise…. and go see the movie for yourself. =)
