I discovered "Globalization" with Civilization V by Sid Meier ~ Mac Game Review.

8/20/2012

After upgrading my computer, I decided to try out a game that I had bought a year ago but that my old computer couldn't handle: Sid Meier's Civilizations V. The opening movie graphics were so good and smooth on my new Macbook Pro that I thought it was a real for a few moments.

This poor fool denounced me so I wiped out his army.
I chose to play as the Persians because they receive financial bonuses over the other civilizations. After building banks, stock exchanges and my "special building" Satrap's Court, I was raking in extravagant amounts of money per turn. The hours flew by and my civilization became rich. This was my strategy all along and I was easily ably to buy buildings and upgrade my military units late in the game.

Satrap's Court: Helping make coin and keeping the people happy!
In the end, I surrounded the other Civs with "Giant Death Robots" but I built a spaceship before I managed to actually attack with them.  Once I get some work done (!) I will try another scenario on a harder level. I actually progressed so far that the game was quoting George W. Bush! This is one addicting game.

Olympyc-fever Sprint Blog with photo finish pics!

Usain Bolt should win gold in the the 200 meter sprint as well. He is in his own class when it comes to the men's 100m sprint. His long stride means that his top speed is faster than everyone else's.

Usain Bolt: Giant on the track!
For Women's sprinting, I caught the 110 meter hurdles, where Australian red head Sally Pearson calmly set an Olympic record as the other women winced and flailed over the steeples. It was an amazing race in the London rain, with Pearson's absolute focus on gold clearly making the difference.

Can you say "focused"? wow!
The real thrill though is these creepy photo finish pictures that they flash afterwards! I am a bit obsessed with them! lol

a giant among men.

Canadian Women's Soccer Gets Robbed in Olympic Heartbreak

8/6/2012

Alex Morgan scored the overtime, extra-time winner. Another 30 seconds and it would have been a shootout! The goal was on a header. Canada's Christine Margaret Sinclair had previously scored 2 headers as part of her 3 goal hat trick. It's the furthest Canada has made it in Olympic Soccer.

Sinclair's second goal.
The Canadians had the lead 3 times but the USA team hung in there until the referee could help them get a penalty kick. After awarding an indirect kick for a mystical 'delay' call on the Canadian goalkeeper, the referee then called a hand ball on a weird bounce. USA capitalized on the penalty kick awarded and ultimately made it to extra time. Here's a video with the full match highlights:
Canada will now face France for the Bronze while team USA plays Japan for the Gold. I know that my gf loves the pink soccer ball and all the headbands!
Picture
Japan will get Silver or Gold.
