The Settlers Rise Of An Empire The Eastern Realm-PROCYON

The Settlers II, anyone remember that? Such an awesome game that Ubisoft have trying to re-imagine ever since. The Newest installment “Rise of An Empire” has got average reviews. Nothing special or innovative here. However a new expansion pack called “The Eastern Realm” which supposedly adds all this great stuff which can be read about below in the publishers description. In my opinion its also going to be an average xpack for an average game. The description below is long enough s i will end it here and see you all in my next post. :)

Description: The Settlers: Rise of an Empire – The Eastern Realm is the first add-on to The Settlers: Rise of an Empire.

The Goddess of the Green Fire doesn’t like the old Eastern Empire which is now under your rule. So as any good enemy, she threatens the current state of peace and has to be eliminated. But yours is not the only state in the Eastern Realm that is threatened by the presence of the Goddess so the beautiful Saraya, only child of Praphat, Mogul of Hidun, allies herself with you.

She is the only new hero the add-on adds to the game and her passive abilities lowers not only the building price of trading posts but also makes it cheaper to buy resources there. Her activate ability is to demand tribute from other factions.

Besides the new hero, the most obvious new addition is the climate. Much like in the winter scenarios in the original, not everything can be produced in a desert and the new weather pattern monsoon can make whole areas inaccessible due to floods. Honey, fish and corn are none existent there. To help the player to overcome these handicaps a bit, the add-on brings two new buildings to the game: the fountain and the trading post. While the fountain saves up water during the rain season which can then be used during the dry season, the trading post allows the player to engage in trading with the other factions. There are also a few new decorative objects available including a triumphal arch and a sun-dial.

The last gameplay addition is the return of the geologist, already known from the previous games. But unlike the previous games in which he scouted good places for new mines, this time he can reactivate already dry iron-mines.

Besides the new campaign the add-on also includes new multiplayer- and single player-maps. Three multiplayer-maps and four single player-maps were made by the community during a mapping contest held on the official website of the game.

MadTV S13E12 PDTV XviD-2HD

MadTV episode 12, brought to us by 2HD. This is obviously a bit of a love or hate skit comedy show. I am pretty confident most of you have heard about/watch it. As you can see, the show is featuring a “Juno 2″ skit. Say thanks to 2HD, MadTV pirates.

Keegan-Michael Key and Daheli Hall play Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey in a musical spoof of Flo Rida’s video “Low.” Also, Juno 2, and Roger Clemens is in the hot seat in a parody of “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel.”

Superhero Movie CAM XViD-CAMERA

Whadafxup. Here is a highly anticipated CAMERA release from the group CAM. A typical spoof type of film by the Scary Movie crew. The video quality isnt the worst, but it is still cam at the same time. I dont waste bandwidth on cam’s, so i myself will be waiting, but if you have no patience, then enjoy the release!

Synopsis: Super is as super does: Finally, the guys behind the outrageously silly “Scary Movie” franchise have used their own ’special powers’ to spoof superhero movies. After being bitten by a genetically altered dragonfly, high school loser Rick Riker develop superhuman abilities like incredible strength and armored skin. Rick decides to use his new powers for good and becomes a costumed crime fighter known as “The Dragonfly.” However, standing in the way of his destiny is the villainous Lou Landers. After an experiment gone wrong, Lou develops the power to steal a person’s life force and in a dastardly quest for immortality becomes the supervillain, “The Hourglass.” With unimaginable strength, unbelievable speed and deeply uncomfortable tights, will the Dragonfly be able to stop the sands of The Hourglass and save the world? More importantly, will we stop laughing long enough to notice?

Eve of Understanding 2006 DVDRip XviD-NEPTUNE

NEPTUNE are the releasers of this flick, which has good ratings at IMDB, but it doesn’t really tickle my fancy. If this is something you would like to see, the quality is a pretty regular DVDRip, but at least it has nice AC3 audio.

Sometimes running away is the only way to make peace with your inner demons. That’s exactly what Donna tries to do when her family becomes a little more than she can bear. But when she hits the road to trek across Texas and Arizona, will she find that you can never really leave your home behind you?

Boarding Gate 2007 DVDRip XviD-SSF

This seems to be the day of the DVDRip, with an absolute bucketload of movies being released today, all are DVDRips. Boarding Gate was previously released as an R5, so now we have the fully fledged DVDRip. With minor video and audio over the R5, this is the version to get if you still haven’t.

Controversial actress Asia Argento teams up with equally divisive director Olivier Assayas for this sexy thriller. Sandra (Argento) has left a life of prostitution behind, but her past haunts her when an old lover (Michael Madsen) returns. Their tryst doesn’t turn out as either had imagined, and Sandra is forced to escape to Hong Kong. But a change of scenery doesn’t reduce the danger in her life, and her new friends aren’t what they seem.

Trainwreck My Life As An Idiot 2007 DVDRip XviD-RESERVED

Well this rather unknown movie Trainwreck, released by RESERVED, stars the well known Sean William Scott (most of you will still probably remember him as Stiffler on American Pie) as a young man who doesn’t want to do anything but party. The quality once again, is a great DVDRip with high video bitrate, and an average audio bitrate.

A dramatic comedy about a self-induced attention-deficit disordered, learning disabled, Tourette’s syndrome suffering, balance impaired, ex-alcoholic young man from the Upper East Side of Manhattan and the gold-digging girl who inspires him to try to get it together.

Extraordinary Rendition 2007 FESTIVAL DVDRip XviD-TheWretched

This film looks very interesting, it is about a man who is taken from London, and transported to an unknown location, throwing his life into disarray. He is kept in solitary until a few months later when he is returned to London, and he tries to adjust to the world he thought he had left behind. Thanks to the TheWretched for this flick. Quality is great as well in case you were wondering.

A man is abducted from the streets of London and transported via secret flights to an unknown country. Held in solitary confinement and cut off from the outside world, he is plunged into a lawless nightmare of detention without trial, interrogation and torture. Returned without explanation to the UK many months later, he is left to pick up the pieces of a shattered life in a world he no longer recognises.

Magus 2008 DVDRiP XViD-TRG

Sceners TRG have released this corny magic STV. I’m not sure if its a remake of the 1968 classic The Magus, but eitherway it is incredibly crap. I think the comment on IMDB sums it perfectly, cool effects don’t make a good movie, and I doubt this even has cool effects.

Since the dawn of time magic users have availed their mysterious powers to ward off evil and heal the body. Throughout history wizards, sorcerers and magicians have practiced in secrecy, keeping their powers hidden, guided by the Wizard’s Code. But there are some who desire mastery over others and attain the highest level of magic to gain it. Even just one Wizard, obsessed with his own power, can threaten their secret world. This one is called the MAGUS.
