Evony News

In Evony News, it seems the suggest sequel 'FogWar' 'NapWar' is not actually from the UMGE gaming house.

Napwar is from the SOHO Union, but interestingly the game interface and feel is much like evony free forever.

The engine or game core has been used possibly, but there seems no other apparently link between either of these 2 gaming design houses out of china.

Gamers and particularly those in the free browser RTS arena are awaiting anxiously for the Evony Age II sequel but lets hope that isn't like these NapWars and FogWars time filler games.

Relax in Phuket

Phuket Thailand is a great, cost effective spot for a nice holiday. Plenty of hotels to choose from, nice beaches and a very good exchange rate mean plenty of upside for guests from around the world.

Getting good phuket deals has improved even more in recent months, given the world economy has slowed - everyone; certainly tourists are looking for value for money. Getting good bang for buck is important.

With niche beaches, good hotels and friend locals - a phuket trip is a good move. Most tourists once visiting the nice place come back over and over again - and of course tell all their friends about the hidden gem in Asia.

Wizard of Oz Movie Anniversary 70 Years Old

If there ever was a time when Oz lovers were vilified for their passion it may be this week as Oz and the world celebrates 70 years of timeless wonder. For those of us who grew up watching this magical event once a year...

I have always been a wizard of Oz fan, it is probably my favorite movie of all time. Yet, maybe I never really understood the genuine mystic, magic behind this 1939 masterpiece until two years ago when my daughter was just a year old. I'll never forget as the Lion (the lovable Bert Lahr) burst from the woods with a cowardly persona disguised by a false intimidation. Little Anna's eyes were as wide as they could get, fixated on this furry, unfamiliar character. She was mesmerized as I was over 40 years ago at my first Oz viewing. This movie really took you inside, like an out of body experience onto the "yellow brick road".

This week to celebrate this historical event was one-shot theatrical runs of Oz in high definition in nearly 400 cities. And, This Wizard, hits stores on Sept. 29 in a newly remastered Hi-Def DVDs and Blu-ray.

As a collector of original vintage movie memorabilia the Wizard of Oz was my earliest collecting passions. And, 25 years later it may be the most popular of all my categories on my vintage treasures web site. From autographed photos of Oz cast members to original movie posters, these are examples of Oz treasures collectors can't get enough of. To give you an example of the demand for original vintage Oz memorabilia. Last week an authentically autographed photo in character of the "Good Witch Glinda" sold for over $11,000.

For Oz and autograph collectors an autographed photo in Oz character of Glinda is highly scarce as only ONE other has ever surfaced on the market prior to last week's auction. Other scarce Oz signed photos are Frank Morgan as the Wizard (sold for over $10,000), Judy Garland as "Dorothy" (sell for over $20,000) and the Bert Lahr as the "Lion" (sells for over $10,000). The original movie posters can sell in excess of $50,000. However, since an original Wizard of OZ one sheet movie poster has never surfaced in the marketplace, a value of over $100,000 would be no surprise. Hence, if you are a collector of Oz memorabilia, you have good taste, not to mention wise investment intuition.

Other events this week include A 71/2-story hot-air balloon that began touring the country since taking off May 13 from Kansas City, Kan., stops Thursday at New York's Tavern on the Green. The gala features Judy Garland's daughter Lorna Luft, surviving Munchkins and Ashanti, who plays Dorothy in New York City Center's production of The Wiz. All this and a yellow brick carpet, too.

Also to celebrate Oz turning 70 this week Ashanti will light the Empire State Building - Emerald City-green, of course. All of this to commemorate what many believe to be the greatest movie ever produced. Just think, 70 years later, with all the technology and Hollywood talent, nothing has since come close.

The author has been collecting and selling celebrity autographs vintage movie posters historical & sports memorabilia and fine art oil paintings for over 20 years.

Play Evony

If you're looking to play Evony, the exciting but addictive new MMORPG / RTS (Real Time Strategy) free web based game then you'll need to hurry. While accounts for evony certainly aren't closing, the sheer amount of gaming user uptake has seen server lag become the initial problem.

The other concern is that gamers who get in early have a slight advantage over users that signup for an Evony Account months after the fact.

The one flipside to this is Evony Game Coins. Just like World of Warcraft, users that play this massively multiplayer online game evony can use paypal to purchase coins and speed up their experience. (Building armies, buildings and researching much faster) more reviews at the Online Games Free RPG blog.

Live Cricket Streaming Info

With the growth of IPL (indian premier league) and the 20/20 world wide scene now exploding - the demand for live cricket streaming on the internet has increased substantially. While there are many paid services for live cricket streaming, the quality vs cost question is one that needs to be answered.

Homework needs to be done on the best solution that will suit all needs and budgets.

Cricket is a fast paced, high motion game - so quality of streaming is important. There are some free live cricket streaming sites out there, but most are of limited quality and cannot guarantee a consistent service.

The lives of MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar and co light up the screens, so you need a solid server with high bandwidth and of course a good computer setup at home.

While tricky, it's possible and free live cricket streaming is well worth the trouble.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Such is the popularity around Indian Cricket's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni - he may even eclipse the marketing power of Tiger Woods in a few years time. Loved in India, his charisma and his batting ability are amazing.

The recent uptake of 20/20 cricket and power batting in the IPL (Indian Cricket League) has seen Dhoni go to another level.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni or MS Dhoni as he is commonly referred to, is becoming more famous for his power batting rather than his glovemanship behind the wicket.

He is well respected by other cricketing nations and has the power to bring fans and sponsors to the game of cricket. The IPL tournament has attracted large sponsors, crowds and TV audiences and the internet is littered with free live cricket streaming sites to boot.

Keep your eye on MS Dhoni - this kid is a star.
