Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Toshib Bagde has gone where few other artists dared with his series "Super-Heroes Poop Lab," envisioning what the excrement of some of the world's most famous do-gooders might look like. Hey, it's a crappy job, but someone has to do it.
"I love superheroes," he explained on Bored Panda. "They are just like us but, yeah, with powers. So I wondered, how would the poop of superheroes look? I think it should represent the characters."
When faced with a roster of characters that includes Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, Storm, Scarlet Witch and Black Widow, it may be difficult to settle on just which of Marvel's female characters is the most badass. Luckily, however, there's a handy infographic to help you decide.
Courtesy of the United Kingdom's MorphSuits, which previously tallied the kill counts of Marvel characters, the graphic ranks 20 heroines and antiheroines in the categories of strength, fighting skills and general "badass rating."
Cartoonist Tom Beland, best known for True Story, Swear to God, has posted a series of sketches showcasing comic book heroines — and in one case anti-heroines — as they enjoy a little time to themselves.
Medusa multitasks while reading the newspaper and Storm whips up a fluffy cloud elephant, while Sue Storm won't allow a little thing like a multi-pronged attack by villains tear her away from a good book. It's not all Marvel, though: You'll also see Alana and Hazel from Saga, and Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy from DC Comics.
Inspired by Skottie Young's popular baby variant covers, artist Luigi Monaldi created the adorable "Indestructibles" — featuring pint-sized versions of the Invisible Woman, Incredible Hulk and Wolverine — for a "baby comics" contest on treddi.com. The details are pretty amazing (click on the image below to super-size it), from the Reed Richards doll in Lil' Sue's hand to the splintering floor beneath Hulk's fist to the claw marks on the chalkboard.

|Huckabee Sucks Up to Liberals
|Why Is It So Cold? Maybe the Sun?
by Christopher Chantrill
December 18, 2007 at 1:39 pm
FIFTY YEARS ago the US conservative movement began in a fusion between Burkean conservatives and libertarian conservatives. In the late Sixties they were joined by the "mugged by reality" neoconservatives.
Then in the 1970s the Supreme Court created the Christian Right with Roe v. Wade and added social conservatives to the movement.
These different factions in the conservative movement have not always got along, but they have learned to live with each other and to respect each others agenda. The poster boy for this is Rush Limbaugh. Divorced several times, he is a success-oriented conservative; yet he is respectful towards social conservatives and he is pro-life.
Having learned to live with each over the years many of us were shocked when John McCain ran for president against the social conservatives in 2000. Why would anyone want to do that, we wondered? Its become clear, in the years since, that McCain is a national security conservative only, and just doesnt understand, and doesnt want to understand the other factions of the movement.
The initial first tier candidates for 2008Giuliani, Romney, Thompsonare all fusion candidates. They may target their appeal to one faction or another, but they do not try to split the conservative movement.
But insurgents like Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee are splitters. Ron Paul is trying to create a divide between libertarians and the rest of the conservative movement and Mike Huckabee is trying to create a divide between evangelical conservatives and the rest of the conservative movement. And then there is John McCain, who still wants to split off national security conservatives from the rest of the movement.
Im rooting for one of the uniters to win. And I hope that all of the dividers fail. Our conservative movement needs to grow. It needs to be ready and welcoming when the next troop of Americans is cast out into the political wilderness by the liberal establishment.
The various wings of the movement have broadly similar goals and the particular concerns of each faction informs and inspires the others.
We dont want no stinkin dividers.|
Christopher Chantrill blogs at www.roadtothemiddleclass.com. His Road to the Middle Class is forthcoming.
I agree, a divided conservative movement can't win in this media climate. Ron Paul has a lot of good things to say but he will never have the party behind him and neither will McCain. Huckabee, I beg you, please go away! What we don't need is a minister right now, we need a manager. The rest of the Republican hopefuls are imperfect but are all miles ahead of any Dem...
Very good analysis of the candidates. Ron Paul can be a particular danger to the Republicans this year. He has raised a decent amount of money and has gotten good exposure in the debates, etc., both of which he can use to great effect in a third party run after he is defeated in the primaries. After all, Paul did run for the presidency as a libertarian in 1988 -- what's to say he won't do it again. If he does, he'll probably get 5 to 7% of the vote, enough to ensure a Dem victory.
The incentive that impels a man to act is always some uneasiness...
But to make a man act [he must have]
the expectation that purposeful behavior has the power to remove
or at least to alleviate the felt uneasiness.

At first, we thought [the power of the West] was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system. But in the past twenty years, we have realized that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity.
David Aikman, Jesus in Beijing
[In the] higher Christian churches... they saunter through the liturgy like Mohawks along a string of scaffolding who have long since forgotten their danger. If God were to blast such a service to bits, the congregation would be, I believe, genuinely shocked. But in the low churches you expect it every minute.

Civil Societya complex welter of intermediate institutions, including businesses, voluntary associations, educational institutions, clubs, unions, media, charities, and churchesbuilds, in turn, on the family, the primary instrument by which people are socialized into their culture and given the skills that allow them to live in broader society and through which the values and knowledge of that society are transmitted across the generations.

When we received Christ, Phil added, all of a sudden we now had a rule book to go by, and when we had problems the preacher was right there to give us the answers.
James M. Ault, Jr., Spirit and Flesh
I mean three systems in one: a predominantly market economy; a polity respectful of the rights of the individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and a system of cultural institutions moved by ideals of liberty and justice for all.
In short, three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
There was nothing new about the Frankish drive to the east... [let] us recall that the continuance of their rule depended upon regular, successful, predatory warfare.

Peter Pan to take audience on magical, high-tech flight
Peter Pan is a familiar tale that has been adapted many times, including in a Walt Disney animated film and on Broadway. But have you ever wondered what it would feel like to actually fly into Neverland with Peter and friends?
The closest thing to becoming Peter Pan himself is attending a modern-day adaptation of J.M. Barrie's classic story, which made its Southern California debut in Orange County on Sept. 28 and runs through Jan. 2.
Never before has there been such an ambitious attempt to transport theatergoers directly into the performance with Peter, Tinker Bell and the notorious Captain Hook. This is not your typical stage production. Audiences will be treated to a multi-dimensional and unparalleled theater experience.
A state-of-the-art outdoor tent, presented by British production company threesixty Entertainment, is the setting for a elaborate theatrical experience that includes an in the round stage, 22 stage actors, puppetry, epic music, singing, choreographed flying and fighting scenes, and arguably the most enticing element: the world's first 360-degree CGI theater set.
Breathtaking video projection surrounds the audience and circular stage, putting the audience right in the middle of the action. As actors fly through more than 400 square miles of virtual London and beyond, the audience feels like they're being transported with them. Our imagination soars with Peter when we've seen past adaptations, but flying to Neverland has never been so real or so much fun.
The production first premiered in London's Kensington Gardens, where Barrie was originally inspired to create Peter Pan and where the original statue of Peter Pan has stood since 1912. It played a 16-week sold-out engagement to 200,000 people - including a Royal Gala for the Prince's Trust for Children and the Arts, attended by their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall (Prince Charles and Camilla). It has since made its U.S. debut in San Francisco beginning in April. The adventure now flies into Orange County.
Don't miss this incredible, 21st century version of Peter Pan. The exclusive engagement in Los Angeles and Orange Counties is the perfect fusion of the iconic original and modern magic, presented in a way that will be long remembered by children and adults alike.
"Peter Pan" tickets are available through the Orange County Performing Arts Center. A limited number of child, student, senior and group discounts are also available. Click here to order tickets through ocpac.org or call the box office at (714) 556.2787.

Seizing the Moment: The Birth of Needlove Records
In the fall of 2014, Needle Points were approached by Scott McMicken of Dr. Dog with interest to produce their next album. It was to be the neo-psych 'n' rollers' second album, following up their six-song LP, Bom Tugangu, that they self-released the year prior. However, the album has yet to see the light of day.
After spending two weeks at Mt. Slippery studio with McMicken, the band spent the next year and a half shopping the end result around to multiple record labels. They received varying levels of interest, as local as Brooklyn and as far away as England. Ultimately the band decided it would be in their best interest to release it on their own. They would utilize it to get their own record label, Needlove Records, off the ground with plans to finally release the new album later this summer.
The startup record label will be run by Needle Points' lead singer Colin Holloway and drummer Jordan Kaplan. Having already released their own Bom Tugangu debut and through their dealings with other musicians and labels through their work with McMicken, the two definitely have some do-it-yourself experience under their belts.

The Also-Ran Who Also Ran
At roughly this time a dozen years ago, George W. Bush was preparing to select Dick Cheney as his vice-presidential running mate. Mr. Cheney was an unusual choice. He had been out of politics for years and professed no desire to return. He had suffered three heart attacks. His voting residence at the time was Texas, the same as Mr. Bush's, raising a problem with the 12th Amendment's so-called Habitation Clause. Besides, Mr. Bush had drafted Mr. Cheney to run his vice-presidential search operation. Picking him over nine worthy finalists might be awkward.
To make sure he made the right decision, Mr. Bush asked Karl Rove, his adviser, to outline Mr. Cheney's possible shortcomings. Among many other problems, Mr. Rove pointed out that the choice of Mr. Cheney might make Mr. Bush appear too reliant on his father's administration, in which Mr. Cheney had served. Mr. Bush picked Mr. Cheney anyway.
Whoever he selected would give voters "a window" into his "decision-making style," Mr. Bush wrote in his presidential memoir, "Decision Points" (2010). "And I remembered the vice presidential horror story of my youth, when Democratic nominee George McGovern picked Tom Eagleton to be his running mate, only to learn later that Eagleton had suffered several nervous breakdowns and undergone electroshock therapy." As Joshua Glasser notes in "The Eighteen-Day Running Mate," his compelling account of the Eagleton affair, it was indeed a horror story, in political terms, and one that sheds light on the whole process of choosing a running mate.
The Eighteen-Day Running Mate
By Joshua M. Glasser
Yale, 381 pages, $26
Until the past couple of decades, candidates generally picked a vice-presidential nominee to balance the ticket ideologically or regionally or to add policy expertise. The idea was to ramp up the prospects of winning, nothing more. The most successful example was John F. Kennedy's choice of Lyndon Johnson in 1960, a marriage of the Northeast and Southwest and the liberal and conservative wings of the Democratic Party. Once elected, the two men were incompatible. JFK ignored LBJ, who fumed.
Today the focus is on how the two candidates will function in the White House as a team, with the vice president taking on a bigger role than before. Thus the president's comfort with his running mate has become essential. And if the running mate provides a bit of governing balance, as Joe Biden did with foreign-policy experience superior to Barack Obama's, so much the better.
Yet the temptation lingers to choose a running mate who might shake up the race—a game changer. This was Arizona Sen. John McCain's aim when he named Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in 2008. Ronald Reagan flirted with a game changer in 1980 when he came close to picking former President Gerald Ford. Reagan backed off when Ford suggested that he be co-president. George H.W. Bush was chosen instead.
No doubt Mitt Romney understands the risks and rewards of deciding on a vice-presidential partner. Still, he would benefit from perusing "The Eighteen-Day Running Mate." Mr. Glasser is neither a historian nor a political scribe—he is a researcher for Bloomberg Television—but he has written a rigorously reported, unbiased and readable narrative, with incisive lessons for current and future would-be presidents.
Call Me Tom
By James N. Giglio
Missouri, 310 pages, $34.95
The first lesson is: Do not choose in haste. George McGovern, the junior senator from South Dakota in 1972 and the Democratic nominee, chose Sen. Tom Eagleton of Missouri on the last day of the Democratic convention. The lateness wasn't entirely Mr. McGovern's fault. Forced to prevail on a procedural vote, he hadn't nailed down the nomination until the day before. Until then, his VP focus had centered on Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.
But Kennedy had repeatedly declined, the last time an hour before the convention deadline for designating a running mate. Eagleton, little more than an acquaintance of Mr. McGovern's, was hurriedly picked despite vague rumors of alcoholism (untrue) and mental illness (true).
Eagleton had made the initial list of 23 finalists after showing strong home-state appeal—Missouri is a pivotal swing state—in a poll of possible running mates. He had survived the next round of cuts and was put on the short list presented to Mr. McGovern.
The first call went to Sen. Walter Mondale of Minnesota, but he declined and urged Mr. McGovern to consider Eagleton. When Kennedy said no for the last time, he recommended Eagleton or Wilbur Mills, the congressman from Arkansas. Sen. Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, one of Mr. McGovern's closest friends, also refused and echoed Kennedy. "The guy who wants it is Tom Eagleton," Nelson advised. Minutes later, Mr. McGovern chose him.
"On paper," Mr. Glasser writes, "the young, liberal, border-state Catholic who enjoyed popularity among blacks, women, and the labor establishment seemed to be the ideal match." The vetting process consisted of one question. "No skeletons rattling in your closet?" McGovern adviser Frank Mankiewicz asked. "Right," Eagleton replied.
With more time, McGovern advisers might have done a full-blown frisk of Eagleton's background. Just as important, leaking his name would have drawn out rumors and allegations, giving the campaign team time to check them out. Almost certainly, the team would have discovered that Eagleton had been hospitalized three times for depression and twice given electroshock treatment—he would surely have been eliminated from consideration. Instead, Mr. McGovern suffered the humiliation of embracing Eagleton "1,000%," as he put it in defending his choice, and then dropping him 18 days later.
Mr. Mankiewicz and Gary Hart, Mr. McGovern's top campaign aides, believe to this day that Eagleton was obliged to inform them of his history of mental illness. Perhaps so, but this claim leads to another lesson: Never expect a politician eager to be elevated to a sought-after position to disclose all the troubles he has encountered in life. "To Eagleton, his hospitalizations were a thing of the past, and he strove to keep them that way," Mr. Glasser writes. "If he considered his mental health disqualifying, Eagleton would never have promoted the idea of his candidacy, as he had in a television interview the night before and in conversations earlier in the week with McGovern advisers."
Nor was the atmosphere "conducive to confession," according to Mr. Glasser. "For a man who had concealed his hospitalizations for nervous exhaustion and depression throughout his professional career to suddenly disclose matters he clearly considered private in the presence of staff, friends, and a radio reporter—recorder in hand—among others, seemed absurd," he writes. "It would have taken extraordinary courage for Eagleton to have shared his deepest secret with a man he hardly knew."
Being dropped by Mr. McGovern did not prevent Eagleton's career from flourishing. A respected senator, he won re-election easily in 1974 and again in 1980, before retiring in 1986. He died in 2007.
For a full account of Eagleton's life, Mr. Glasser's book can be supplemented by "Call Me Tom," a recent biography by James N. Giglio, an emeritus professor of history at Missouri State. The author describes Eagleton's devotion to his often gruff and demanding father, a lawyer and a one-time St. Louis mayoral candidate, and he clearly admires Eagleton's legislative record as a fiscally moderate, liberal Democrat. But it is Eagleton's character that he emphasizes: urbane, self-deprecating, collegial. After the 18-day fiasco, Mr. Giglio notes, Eagleton "taught us how to handle setbacks with grace and fortitude."
However well Eagleton rebounded, the McGovern campaign didn't. "The seemingly backhanded and spineless manner in which McGovern compelled Eagleton to withdraw," Mr. Glasser says, "probably hindered McGovern's shot at the presidency more than keeping Eagleton would have hurt it." Mr. McGovern ended up settling for a second-tier running mate, former Peace Corps director Sargent Shriver. Mr. McGovern did win re-election to the Senate in 1974, only to be defeated in the 1980 Republican landslide.
As much as Mr. McGovern vacillated about dropping Eagleton, he really had no choice. There was the distraction of the controversy, for one thing. As for Eagleton's health, Mr. McGovern claimed that it was "not an issue." But it was. Eagleton arranged for Mr. McGovern to talk to two psychiatrists who had treated him. Both expressed doubts about Eagleton's mental fitness to be president. That finished the matter.

These cards have a USB interface actually built into the chip, rather than relying on a conventional USB smartcard reader device to do the job. In terms of coolness factor, the highlight here is that the resulting I/O speed between the PC and the card is way fast. With standard ISO smartcards and readers, we typically see a negotiated communications rate of about 56 Kbps max. In practice, I think the e-gate cards may see more than 10 times that (when operated in "USB mode")!

Sounds like a good catchphrase for me to use tho throw back into the face of Antis that relish using the media scare words "Assault weapons and hi capacity magazines."

Newly married – hopes and reality
A relationship and marriage are the wishes of most people. An alliance between people and families. There is a traditional marriage and hope for the continuity of generations. During the marriage ceremony nearby there is the experience of wish fulfillment, dreams and hope for a new beginning, a successful and happy. Allowing marriages to grow, grow, flourish and prosper.
After the euphoria marriage ceremony and the accompanying dreams, reality penetrates perfect picture. Life partners enter new elements, new sensations, questions and issues that put the couple unfamiliar situations or situations they are familiar but repressed and concealed because of the occupation and the organization of the wedding.
To return to everyday reality and routine, may accompany financial difficulties due to commitments couple took wedding preparations, flat sheet. Other difficulties may arise from a change in lifestyle and the need to regroup in a relationship. For example, being a guest and hosted by the bride's parents and the groom's parents, relocate the relationships and social connections – friends and girlfriends. Sometimes the couple must give up social contact and friendly they had in the past, spending habits were previously each partner etc.
Throughout our lives we need to adapt to changes. Marriage life we live in a single-life experience of adapting to a life of couple and family life. The ability to go through the process of adaptation to change, predicts the likelihood of a good relationship, friendship, contains, supportive and thoughtful.
As mentioned above, in order to stand the test of adaptation to a new lifestyle, we need to be aware of a number of patterns:
* Communication – the partners to be able to define clearly the difficulties, problems and needs. This media can listen to your partner and understand his words.
* Printing to deal with difficulties – life throws us challenges at various levels (economic, health, child rearing, etc.). The couple jointly cope with difficulties and not "run away" to deal with and keep your spouse angry, frustrated, hurt and loneliness difficult. You can learn and internalize patterns of coping, so that we can apply them throughout life.
* Expectations – each partner comes coexistence with different expectations. When there is too big a gap between the couple, this will cause frustration, anger, tension and strife. Therefore, the couple coordinating expectations, create a reasonable interval between the expectations of the couple to be able to successfully deal with the gaps.
* Maintain proportions – not exacerbate and exaggerate sharply everyday problems. The couple help each other see things in the right proportion with respect for the partner concerned.
* A clear definition of marital system over other connections. Literature, this process is set to say goodbye and differentiation. The couple when they internalize laptops, they become emotionally separate unit and mom and dad will put in place the couple's relationship is different from the other connections. Differentiation and separation are an important key to the success of the marriage and building a family double and enabling healthy growth.
During the marriage, we must constantly adapt to new situations and changes in emotional and other difficulties in the couple?
On the emotional level and personality as the couple live together and get to know each other, disguised habits revealed. Begin to rise qualities that we were not aware of them, peeling masks and a couple more are exposed to each other for all their advantages and disadvantages: rigid, flexible, cynicism, anxiety, fears and so on.
With downloading Poor thing "may be a great relief. Feel more confidence in a relationship, you can be more genuine and authentic. However, this openness has a price – is it a spouse where we fell in love and we have chosen? This can create conflict and tension between conflicting needs and desires. Thus, we have to maintain a balance between authenticity without a mask and conduct a "mask" in the marriage life. Maintaining this balance is an art life of marriage, it lets not get your spouse for granted all the time.
Many events Shakers marriage and require adapting to change. One of the most significant is the entry of the first child to the family. It is a source of great happiness, joy and sense of pride of continuity. However, the first child brings with it a powerful experience unlike any other – the dream, hope and joy merge into fatigue, worry, anxiety and so on. Until the birth of the first child, the couple were in the contact center. After birth there is a need to adapt and give way to the newborn. The baby becomes the center of life, while parents should be all in the emerging new parenthood. Although it is a choice to have a child, fulfilling the desire and self-fulfillment through the role of a parent, it's emotional and physical burden that could lead to an erosion of marriage life. Therefore, it is important to continue to nurture, cherish, maintain, worry Babies "additional and equally important – relationship.
Since most of our lives we need to change, acceptance and adaptation to new situations, the question is who will succeed not only to survive but also to enjoy a satisfying and complex change processes. In order to succeed to continue nurturing and strengthening marriage, we need to trust in a relationship, optimism, self-expression and fulfillment, clear boundaries in relationship and social connections. It also requires the ability to discuss and talk openly and honestly about feelings, frustration, anger and pain, without fear of criticism and judgment.
Good relationships necessary to the preservation of the ability to dialogue ever – personally and interpersonally. Dialogue will allow each partner to emotional responses, strengthening and empowerment, where everyone defines himself in the marital relationship. Fruitful dialogue, each spouse learns to recognize itself in the spousal relationship, to respect his feelings and his partner, be attentive and supportive.
When marital problems arise, please contact couples therapy which will be handled any problems arise at each stage of marriage. Usually there is a process of strengthening and problems manifested in full force for a long time from the date of emergence. One or both of the spouses takes time to understand that there is a difficulty in relationships, they need help. Couples therapy will be a broad picture of the couple and the family system, its history. From the bigger picture could be to identify the best and most positive elements of the couple, as well as the points Hhkosi and weaknesses.

How to be safe in laboratories
In today's era of the 21st century, an era in which we work smart work smart and sophisticated spaces, equipped with smart equipment, and smart materials are used. Many of us carry out our work in laboratories, there are those who carry out their work in chemical laboratories, and those who carry out their work in research labs, and there are many workers in medical laboratories and so on and so forth.
Laboratory Although it seems as a place quiet and calm fraught with quite a few risks because over the work, users working with hazardous materials, can cause various health problems or physical damage are different, so it is important to preserve both safety regulations at work in laboratories and not just safety regulations that the work done on the ground open.
While working in a laboratory can sometimes employees reach a point where they will test materials without them knowing what the results of the experiment and what will happen to the material and how and whether it could have implications for their health or is likely to cause them any harm, so we hear often on work accidents that occur in laboratories due failure to maintain safety regulations for working in laboratories.
Laboratory work safety regulations are regulations designed to prevent as much as possible risks at work and to prevent as much of the accidents that may develop during the work. Safety Regulations in Laboratories purpose is to inform employees what is expected to happen at the end of each procedure takes place in the laboratory, to establish procedures for the handling of all necessary material and material in the laboratory often appoint a safety officer within the company or hire services external occupational safety specialist.
Lab technicians undergo safety training and workshops, laboratory work, knew better handle dangerous situations that may develop in the lab, or workplace accidents that may develop in the laboratory, laboratory workers trained in safety at work in the laboratory is reasonable for whom there will be fewer accidents at work, that the work safety regulations will make them a Routine everyday work.
Therefore, employers and employees in the lab have a common interest to keep the regulations of safety at work in the laboratory, the employer knows that for him the workers were used to work as much as possible safe with minimal risk, and the workers know that the employer provided them the maxim

Rate-controlled drug delivery pumps, particularly those at the microscale, can provide exquisite control of released drug profiles and thus closely approach the goal of maintaining the therapeutic drug concentration over the entire duration of treatment. This is in contrast to oral or topical routes that, while both convenient and noninvasive, are not suitable routes for many novel pharmaceutical agents including biologics, biosimilars, and other small molecules. Pumps have been prescribed for acute and chronic conditions including cancer, chronic pain, spasticity, and diabetes. Uses include the administration of antibiotics, chemotherapy, analgesics and opioids, nutrition formulas, insulin, lipids, vasopressors, blood products, and other drugs for which controlled rate of delivery is required [1]. The ability to modulate delivery rate is significant and allows for the design of new treatments that better synchronize with the dynamic biological processes occurri ...

I have loved the Total War Games since if first played Shogun, and i was so excited to see that in this game they would be focusing on the Colonial Area of history. The thought of having guns, navel battles and artillery was truly exciting. And also disappointing when nothing seemed to work. While improved in the later expansions it is never really fixed. The AI is stupid and has no grasp of tactics. it is almost impossible to have any money in the game to the point that at the end of each turn you are just hopping that you stay in the black, and the AI is worse and managing their economy then you are. I hope that some time in the future they make a squeal that fixes all the major problems of this game, because I think that would be an awesome game but for the most part this game was just a big disappointment.
First time I played this game I didn't think I would like it that much because the time period doesn't interest me that much but once I started playing I enjoyed this game a lot. There are so many new and great additions to the game since the last one (medieval 2 total war) my favorite is exploring the unknown. Colonizing the new world, invading India, set up trade with the foreign traders all this makes the game so much fun. The sea battles which were implemented are also a lot of fun and are very fluent. They play out like you expect it to play. This game is a must have for strategy gamers! So go out there and buy this game and the entire series.
Empire: Total War Collection contains the main game and all the DLC released for this RTS. In this case we can control an empire of the 18th century and lead it to the glory. The best thing of Empire Total War is that probably it's quite different from most of the other titles of the series, because of the presence of gunpowder weaponry. In this case you must change your strategies taking into account this new element. An other good introduction in Empire is the possibility to do naval battles. The campaign is quite good and the computer AI works well. If you like RTS and especially the Total War saga this is a must have
Empire: Total War was a great twist for the franchise, for the first time you can use firepower in battles and these weapons changes the strategies a lot. In this game the world is bigger, the nations are more dangerous, you can have naval warfare with ships to conquest the world. If you like when the nations were in a global war to add more territories for their empires, you will enjoy a lot this game.
