這種無秩序的混亂
會讓人窒息…
進一步的危機是
生理 與心理上的雙重不健康
還我生活品質來~~~

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II is a Real-time strategy computer game and sequel to The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth. Unlike its predecessor, the game is set mainly in the northern regions of Middle-earth. Known factions include the Elves, Dwarves, Men of the West (Gondor and Rohan combined) and the Goblins, along with large additions to the other evil factions. The gameplay will include naval battles, larger battalions, and more traditional base building, unlike the original. The game has a stated release date of March 2, 2006. The game is currently in the beta stage of software development.
Story setting
The Battle for Middle-earth II (BFME II) takes place in the Northern section of Middle-earth. For the Good campaign, the story starts with the Fellowship of the Ring's journey south from Rivendell. For the Evil campaign, it begins with the siege of Dol Guldur. According to the developers, the single player game will consist of more varied objectives with long-term consquences than the "search and destroy" scenarios which dominated the first game. Additionally, the method of building bases on predetermined plots has been replaced with the traditional real-time strategy building style which features a fort operating as a base hub. There will also be some missions or portions of missions inside buildings in the single-player campaign.
Upcoming Game features
Since the game currently is in its beta stage, information below may change before its release; however, the following is likely a feature-complete sampling of the final game:
.BFME II will differ remarkably from BFME in resouce accumulation
.The player will be able to build section of walls which expand in non-linear direction and attach the wall, to impassable terrain, like mountains.
.The player will be able to customize his or her own hero from scratch.
.Naval battles will be possible
.There will be six distinct factions: Men of the West, Elves, Dwarves, Mordor, Isengard and Goblins.
.New powers such as the "Watcher in the Water", "Flood" and "Tom Bombadil"
.Goblins and Umbar pirates can climb walls
.Defensive upgrades such as boiling oil, flaming arrows, trebuchets and catapults including unique bonus-giving monuments
.Argonath as the menu map
.Missions covering the whole of Middle-earth
.Special effects like spreading fire and light reflection
.Ability to flank the enemy to receive attack advantage

越熟悉的路,越遠
英國科學家發現,我們對自己熟悉的路,會比較高估路途的距離。
神經科學家很早就知道,人類對長距離的估計很不在行。不過相關的研究通常都是要求受試者在固定場合(如運動場)行走,所以得到的結果似乎不能反映真實情形。所以英國曼徹斯特大學的Andrew Crompton決定利用真實世界的路途來研究人的距離感。
他要求140位建築系的學生估計校園活動中心到另一棟建築物的直線距離。結果他發現,學生不但高估距離,而且年級越大,距離越遠。一二三年級的估計結果分別是1.24、1.33跟1.45英哩。
為什麼會有這種情形呢?他認為可能是因為高年級的學生時常再走這條路,因此會開始注意路上的許多相關事務。因為相關資訊越來越多,所以就會連帶影響距離判斷時的參考,所以路程會相對的變的更遠。
所以如果覺得回家的路有越走越遠的情形的話,換個新鮮的路回家,或許你會覺得回家的路變近了。

Batman Begins
蝙蝠俠:開戰時刻
感覺像是前傳
交代了batman怎麼從平凡人化身成super hero
不像以前一出場就是飛著出來的
試著從現實角度去重塑Batman
原來蝙蝠洞是這麼來的
還有一代的蝙蝠裝和蝙蝠車
Gotham City的壞人
比起前幾集的急涷人啊 毒藤女啊 還有小丑
不那麼卡通也不那麼奇幻了
政治腐敗 毒品走私 野心份子
整個情節愈接近現實
場景氛圍也愈來愈紐約
感覺比印象中的蝙蝠俠系列電影
更有深度一點 比較內心戲
不再只是那種很high的打鬥和很炫麗的特效了
題外話:
紐約人還蠻累的
滿天都是超人啊、蜘蛛人啊 還有蝙蝠俠
偶爾還有King Kong來湊一腳
有太多super hero在試圖拯救這個城市
動不動市容就要大翻新~
真想知道Gotham City有沒有都市計畫這種東西…
