Game Review: 1602 A.D. (or Anno 1602)

I've owned this game called 1602 AD for a number of years now, and since I have nothing better to do I'll do a review about it.

Soccer Week Wrapup: August 28th, 2011

I'm a Man United fan at heart, but that doesn't mean that I don't care about the other EPL clubs or the European leagues or even leagues like MLS which are far from "top class". Although the Man United 8-2 Arsenal scoreline is probably the best of the bunch from the world of soccer this week, there were a few other shining tidbits that I'd like to mention.

Never Mind There ARE Troubles at Arsenal

So I stood up for Arsene Wenger last week in my article Are There Any Troubles at Arsenal? and now he just goes and make me look like an idiot with that SHOCKING performance. Now, I'm a Man United fan, but even I would never have thought that United would've scored eight goals! And some of them, to be fair, were pretty spectacular, especially the 2 Rooney free-kicks and the Ashley Young long shots-that one could be the Paul Scholes of the future!

Arcade...Again!

OK I messed up last time. Turns out if you bring the width down to 150, when you play the game some of the screen is cut off, making it impossible for you to press the "play" button. To fix this, I brought the arcade's width to 800. I advise that you move all of your gadgets from the right side to the left so the arcade won't mesh with the gadgets. If you find that you can't move them, just go to "Edit Template HTML" under the Design tab and scroll all the way down to find the gadgets. There you'll see that some gadgets have "false" next to them while others have "true". Just change all the "true" to "false" and you'll be able to move your gadgets.

Arcade

If you guys haven't noticed, I've made an arcade on my blog, featuring the most popular online flash games like Bloons Tower Defense, Doodle God, Thing Thing Arena, Portal 2 among others. Since I'm no techie, and since Matthew ditched this blog, I did a little bit of searching and found this widget at HeyZap.com. Just go there, register (it's free) and download the widget to add to your site/blog. Trust me it's a lot of fun. The only difficulty is that, since blog pages are really skinny and long, there might be some sizing issues if you download the full arcade widget. But whatever you do, DON'T download the blog games toolbar widget. It's just pure advertising crap with some messed up Rango game and some random social games like Caesary and Evony. Just download the full arcade widget and on "Edit HTML" bring the size down to 150 so it could fit on your blog page without some content getting cut (which happened if the site went down to 100) and voila, your viewers can play! You're welcome.

Skittles!

Skittles! I love them. They're my favorite candy, although I don't buy them that often because I get cavities if I do. Though I also love Maynards and Starburst candy too. Basically, I like any sour candy, which I suppose is better than the really sweet chocolate like Smarties for my teeth (...yeah, I have really crappy teeth). Though I really prefer not to eat those gummy worms and wine gums since they're so cheap I wonder if they put random chemicals into them like the Chinese put chemicals into babies' plastic toys which is an abominable practice (and this is coming from a Chinese guy too). Or, come to think of it, how KFC puts drugs into chickens to make them grow 5 legs/wings at a time. Yeah I know it might not be true, but hey, you never know the weird practices large multinational corporations will do to get the money out of our wallet. Come to think of it, all the food we eat might be full of drugs and other crap, so if all food is such, how can we avoid it?
Wow, this random train of thought I put into this post turned from me telling you guys about my candy preferences to mutated chickens.

Jack Layton's Death

I know this is long overdue but

Are There Any Troubles at Arsenal?

So you guys have all heard about Arsenal's recent woes at the transfer market and on the pitch, yes? Well, if you haven't, Arsenal have just sold arguably their best players in Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri to Barcelona and Man City respectively as well as Carlos Vela (to Real Sociedad) and Emmanuel Eboue (to Galataseray). Their replacements? Emmanuel Frimpong, Carl Jenkinson, Ignasi Miquel and Aaron Ramsay. Well, the headlines have been screaming for Wenger's head after these decisions, mainly because Wenger hasn't used the Fabregas/Nasri transfer fees to buy any world-class talent.

New Season of Soccer!

Ah, August. The peak of summer, the last month before you have to go back to the dreadfully boring sludge of school. And the start of the new European soccer season!
Well, a few things happened in the summer that I wasn't aware about. For one, Sergio "Kun" Aguero is now at the trillionaires under the name of Manchester City. I thought Aguero's transfer was just to make Tevez stop threatening to leave unless he gets a $10000000000/week salary or something...

Revival

Alright after a 5-month absence I'm gonna start this thing again!
