The first screens and info on the sequel to one of the better RTSs of the last couple of years.
While it wasn't perfect, 12054.html" >Warlords: Battlecry managed to claim a place in the hearts of the editors that got the chance to put some time into the game. Not only did it allow gamers to carry over a hero and upgrade him throughout the course of the campaign, but it allowed that same character to be carried over into the multiplayer aspect. It was a personal touch that allowed you to see your character grow and become powerful which really attached you more than one that was created for you. And so we're happy to say that SSG and Ubi Soft have announced that they will be releasing a sequel to the game.
While, as you can see in the screens in the media section below, the game doesn't look too different (with the exception of new height graded terrain), there seems to be quite a bit they've added to the formula. First off, there will be 60 new units and a ton of new buildings to add to the 12 different races and their balancing. Twelve different hero races, 20 different hero classes, 100 different spells in 11 different circles of magic, and 100 different special abilities will be on tap for your hero this time around.
They're also touting some new and improved AI for a bunch of different situations including some much needed upgrading to the enemy AI and pathfinding. You'll also be able to choose from a bunch of different AI routines for computer allies and opponents as well as new unit attitude AI and you'll even be able to download more off both off of the SSG website. One of the nicer features added to the AI comes to the magical side of things with intelligent spell casting. This pretty much means that you can tell magic casters which spells of theirs they should focus on casting so that you can have a more organized army without having to worry about micromanaging so much.
The new campaign feature in the game will also allow for much more open-ended play. You'll be able to choose any hero from any side in the game to battle over the whole of Esteria. You'll get to choose where you attack and fight off invasions during a dynamic, non-linear campaign format (check out the overland map in the screens below).
Make sure to keep your eyes open for a more in-depth look at this game to come in the future with some more screens and detailed information. Until then, feel free to check out the official Warlords Battlecry II website.

My Favorite Martian (1999)
Brings back memories.
This film was selected from 'The 250'
Am I the only person that misses the comedic stylings of Mr. Jeff Daniels? I'm not talking about Dumb & Dumber, even if that is his most memorable comedic role. No, he was in a few other films that people remember – and his sense of humor is really great. He used to be a really funny and charming guy in his roles, but now that The Newsroom began, it's been nonstop drama for Daniels. However, I must say that I am very much looking forward to Dumb & Dumber To…but because that is several months away yet, I decided to watch a movie you all probably have heard of, and even seen, just forgot Jeff Daniels was the other main lead. That movie, of course, is the film adaptation of My Favorite Martian, which began as a TV sitcom in the '60s. I can't tell you anything about the TV show, but this film still gives me fond memories of a good childhood.
It's about a TV reporter named Tim O'Hara who is struggling with climbing in his career because of a stubborn boss and awkward persona. The opportunity for the perfect story hits him as a UFO crash lands right in front of him. Out of the spaceship strides a quirky and curious Martian by the name of Uncle Martin. At first, all O'Hara wants to do is to lock in that perfect story to further his career, but then he starts to like the strange visitor – helping him locate a part to his ship so he can return home and ultimately escape the clutches of those pesky evil scientists that are out to probe his Uranus.
Well, this movie brings me way back. Before watching it, I was worried…after the fiasco of travelling down the memory lane that was Flubber. We're talking about a '90s live-action Disney film that brought us laughter as kids that just isn't as effective anymore…so I was worried about the same thing here, especially considering the scores that it has gathered from critics. However, I can say that it was still pleasantly effective in the humor department – as well as being a great go-to film for the whole family. My greatest fear has been realized though – My Favorite Martian has been cast into the Island of Misfit Films.
Yes, even though plenty remember this movie – they more or less recall it as "that one movie they saw once." After another viewing, however, I can't help but wonder what made it so mediocre to so many people in the first place. No, it's not the best movie in the world, but it is far from the worst. All I can really come up with is that it's an adaptation of an old TV show – a show that the kids of the '90s wouldn't even know or care about anyways – and the parents that do were probably too hell-bent on the ways of the original TV show that they probably hated any liberties taken in the film. It's really all unfortunate, because the movie isn't half bad.
Believe it or not, I was pleasantly surprised at the use of special effects here. Not everything looked perfectly real, but you wouldn't believe how shocked I was with some of these scenes. Both with CGI-heavy shots and practical effects. They may not have had the biggest budget in the world, but they definitely made use with what they had. I still have trouble fathoming how they did the scene with the limbs…that's still a very fun and cool-looking scene.
If I had one complaint, it would be that the acting wasn't the best. It was far from the worst, but come on, it's a comedy! That being said, I actually found myself laughing at a lot of the moments, and if I wasn't laughing, I was at least smiling and enjoying myself. I think there were plenty of spots where it could have gone horribly, horribly wrong, but it gathers its strength by the comedic performances of Jeff Daniels and Christopher Lloyd.
My Favorite Martian is what I consider to be a pretty underrated film. No, kids from the '90s didn't care for a '60s TV show; and no, kids from the '60s may not care for the changes made in the '90s version. But if that's your only reason for disliking the movie, then you need to re-evaluate your reasonings and stop being such a dork and watch the movie as if there was never a '60s TV show.
The very fact that people have forgotten this movie is kind of depressing, because it still has a decent level of nostalgia and humor. However, I wasn't entirely sure what the message was supposed to be, and for a kids movie, that's rare. I think it had something to do with keeping your eyes open in general, and being aware of others' needs…or something. I don't know, it was more of just a fun movie than anything else.
The Random:
Even though I never watched the original show, nor cared much about it, The connection they had with it – I have to say – was genius.

The words of Alan Shearer there. Given the prevailing story around Chelsea, the actual merits of Southampton's performance at Stamford Bridge played a distinct supporting role in all coverage. From newspapers to television to the sharpest minds on social media, the apparent and continuous decline of last year's champions has been the dominant story this early season. Again, their defense proved easily penetrable, to an extent that it isn't even notable and more interesting to me in this game was the ineptitude of their attack. Zero shots on target from the 25th minute onwards while supervising a score changing from 1-0 to 1-3 is the stuff of nightmares and the hallmark of a team with problems.
And what have I done? The same as everyone else. Talk about Chelsea.
Southampton's performance does not exist in isolation and Shearer's view is easy to equate with their early results and a widespread reticence to believe that they could once more withstand the removal of some of their perceived better players. I'll admit to having had my doubts here too, but so far it looks as if the system in place is stronger than the parts that fuel it.
Last season I wrote about how facets of their start marked them out as a team likely to make a sustained challenge for the top four; their underlying numbers implied this and were backed up by good results. Their defense remained impressive all year– conceding a league low 3 shots on target per game– and but for a tough run mid-season and a scoring slump after Christmas as squad strength became an issue, they may even have exceeded an objectively impressive seventh place.
This season once more sees impressive underlying numbers. Despite the departures of Clyne and Schneiderlin, seen as big influences in the continued repression of opposition shooting, and the unfortunate non-arrival of Jordy Clasie, the numbers have continued to be stable. Once more, no team concedes fewer shots on goal and the chances created at the other end have, for now, increased. In fact their defense hasn't conceded more than 13 shots or four shots on target in any one game, an extremely impressive and consistent run of form.
That Southampton can visit Stamford Bridge and secure victory against a wobbly Chelsea is far less surprising than prior reputations suggest. The only problem for them was that this year, their early results did not match their underlying numbers, so casual commentators presumed that things were different. It's more a case of " as you were" and having made a few depth signings in the summer, their position in the upper echelon of the league looks secure.
And so it came to pass. In the year of our Lord 2015, his chosen representative on earth Mr Brendan Rodgers was thus relieved of his duties as chief shepherd at Liverpool Football Club and lo, many reams were filled with memories of "that season", and there was hope that a new guide would heed the words of the "Parable of a Consistent Formation" and return with the spoils of victory so readily found in former times.
I wouldn't have sacked him but now he's gone we are left with an enthralling game of "Catch Klopp!" that if unsuccessful could lead to an even more entertaining game of "What if not Klopp?"– a puzzle that lacks a ready answer.
And that was the big story on Sunday, so much so that Arsenal trouncing Man Utd seemed almost a sideline, especially as the match was over as a contest within less time than an average weather report. Arsenal's victory was so straightforward that their total dominance early on killed the game stone dead and gave a marvellous example of "issues with shot modelling". With all the relevant action inside twenty minutes, what took place beyond that point was superficial at best.
Similar comments could be levelled at Arsenal's victory at Villa last year, in which the second half was a perfunctory non-event and also Man Utd's own victory against Tottenham back in March. The comparatively rare occasions in which a team races into an unassailable lead generate non-representative chance rates and underline the big impact we see in score effects.
That the three goals came from the first three shots on target was remarkably similar to a medicine that United themselves had been prescribing in recent weeks, so a certain schadenfreude surrounded the game. In a hallmark of van Gaal's reign, a scythe arrived at the exact moment that belief arrived in the fan base and presumptions of genuine superiority were starting to take hold.
However, Arsenal's precision passing and ability to bypass the fast press employed is not something that Man Utd will face very often this season– on current form this was arguably their second toughest fixture– so one might presume that the controlling sterility will resume next time. They just aren't set up to recover deficits against good opposition and like any team are vulnerable to the effective use of pace.
Despite courting more injuries than Wile E Coyote, Bournemouth have made a steady start to their time in the Premier League. Existing in an inverse universe to the "QPR model" of survival, their defense has made a solid job of resisting the opposition's sorties and ranks fourth least for shots faced while only Southampton have faced fewer shots on target. Their attacking numbers aren't quite up to par but this blend this may well be a van Gaal style trade-off that is keeping them in games for as long as possible and an attempt to manage leads. In this instance they have spent the 5th most amount of time leading and there is no one game in which they've been stomped on shots-wise; the Liverpool game was worst in this aspect—they conceded 18 but only two troubled the goalkeeper.
Their chief issues that I see are variably solvable or problematic.
Firstly half of the shots that reach their goal are going in, which is miles over league average and unlikely to continue. Seventy percent is a long term save rate to aspire towards and they won't stay at 50% for too much longer.
Less encouragingly, Liverpool are the only one of last season's top seven that they have faced, and they haven't effectively cashed in on a favourable start to the schedule. Eight points from eight games is the kind of rate that only John Carver considers adequate and benchmarks the team as one that needs to maintain and build on their generally positive early numbers.
Man City, Tottenham and Southampton are their next three games and if they retain a point a game pace through that schedule they will have a short run of more apparently winnable games to follow. That they seem not irredeemably bad, in contrast to at least three more established Premier League clubs bodes well for their survival aspirations. "Least bad" is often enough in this league and throw in the other promoted teams and it looks like long term we may have three from seven to go.
Two defeats in eleven and rarely a bad performance seen. It's looking just dandy for Pochettino's devoted soldiers as another dominant draw was secured in Wales. Eric Dier channeled his hitherto concealed Roy Keane and the general performance gave Fabianski an opportunity to spend the afternoon repelling accurate long range shots. At least up to a point, as Christian Eriksen found some form back from injury and showed that the first thing a free kick needs to be is on target and then maybe the rest will follow.
In fact in ending the game with Clinton, Eriksen, Townsend and Dembele as a nominal front four, some depth has been found. Kane continued his run of refinding the net and there looks to be a functioning meritocracy in amongst key attacking positions. Such is expectation against anyone beyond the traditional powers, some fans were disappointed to only secure a point but after recent seasons' repeated post-Europe League capitulations, this was probably good enough.
Sure the save percentage is still on the high side and the scoring percentage on the low side but shot creation isn't a problem so far and Spurs are currently pleasing most number watchers. This is a far cry from last season and is to be welcomed. The visit of an Allardyce-inspired Liverpool could be an intriguing test next time.
