And in more Templar news….

It’s been three years since The History Channel successfully entered the original scripted series arena with Vikings (along with Black Sails and Penny Dreadful, arguably the best tv series that hasn't been cancelled these days IMO).

Now the cable network is mounting a new scripted push (\o/...about friggin' time) which ( Read more... )

So the next Assassin’s Creed game will be set in Ancient Egypt with the potential of going forward into Ancient Greece and Rome as the franchise continues. Sign me up, I’m in….although I can’t imagine it would be able to top the brilliance of the Italian Renaissance. How do you top Cesare Borgia???

I expected a victory and am pleased with precision at which he completed the task. 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 - finished in less than an hour and a half  - and  ten aces to boot.

It brings me back to the point I made when reviewing The Alexandria Link. There is so much knowledge out there - so many things I don't know and never will know ( Read more... )

This weekend flew by. Two measly days never seem long enough. I want to take some time off - I am really sick of work at this point (in case you haven't already figured that out by my previous posts) and need to get away. *sigh* ( Read more... )
