Magic the Gathering - Artifact Cycle

Just finished the 4.book of Artifact Cycle: I really enjoyed to read the stories about Urza and his fight for revenge against Phyrexia.
The books tell exciting fantasy stories and if you like to play the trading card game you will recognize many cards and the backgrounds to them. I loved to read the books and then to search for cards associated to the main figures.

The Borthers' War:
The book which I like best: The story of Urza and Mishra as young men and their conflict for supremacy of Terisiare. Also famous, their supporters Ashnod and Tawnos - my first glance on the Ornithopter.

Planeswalker:
This book was in the beginning prosy but at the middle of the book you become glued to it more and more. Urza is now a planeswalker and his minion Xantcha tries to convince him to attack Phyrexia with a special trick ... and it works!

Time Streams:
Urza tries to manipulate time to defend his home from a Phyrexian invension. Caused by treachery many things went wrong. At the end of the book Yamimaya and the ship Weatherlight play an important role.

Bloodlines:
Urza tries to breed a stronger Tolaria race while lord Yagmoth sends out an edict: Kill Urza Planeswalker!
The book has many interesting aspects but the end is really suprising and a litte bit disappointing.

Give it a try with The Borthers' War and you will have to read on and on ...

Deliberations on the movie "We feed the world"

Just thinking about what goes wrong in this world, if the human race becomes fu**ing crazy (or is allready) - caused by the movie "We feed the world".


The pictures of this movie are shocking - but more shocking are the facts told:

- We are able to produce food for about 14 billions of people, but about 840 million (840.000.000 lives) are starving or dying caused by the effect of hunger.

- In Brazil soybeans are bred for the cattle in Europe and the inhabitants are suffering hunger, when in Austria wheat and corn is used for heating.

This list is quite long, but I don't want to tell all interesting facts of the movie.

Is there a way to avoid this insaneness ...
I hope to make people think and to gain a specific shopping behaviour (like fair-trade products and shopping at your neighbour farmhouse)! I'm ready to pay a few Euro more than to support the huge food-concerns like Nestle getting richer and richer
(the interview with the company chef in the movie is unbelievable).

Depeche Mode is back again ...

DepecheMode_PlayingTheAngel.jpg... the right snug music for the autumn in front of the PC with a hot cup of tea. Depeche Mode Playing the Angel is the new masterpiece of this famous band which I'm addicted to since I was a teenager and got my first cassette. The music is extravagant but also easy to listen - unbelievable but this two facts work together trouble-free.
Now I'm waiting for March and my visit to Graz for the Depeche Mode concert, I can't belive it - I WILL BE THERE AND ONE OF MY MUSIC DREAMS WILL BECOME TRUE !!!!!!!!

MY favourite songs on the album are: the hit suspected "Precious" - the first single in the tradition of Enjoy the Silence; the mysterious "Nothing S Impossible" - Dave Gahans melodic voice over a great keayboard arrangement; the smoothly "Lillian" - the catchy tune is running with repeat in my winamp.

Red Bull Salzburg on the top of the league

What a event: after suffering many years since the championsship titel in the year 1997 my favorite soccer team Red Bull Salzburg (in the past Austria Salzburg) reached the top of the league!
But the more satisfying fact is the attractive offensive kind of soccer the team plays - watching it is really adorable.

So I'm looking forward for many amusing games and the 1. place at the end of the season - may the soccer god be kindhearted to Salzburg.

Trolloc Combat Corp is the ruler of Salisbury

Currently I'm playing World of Gallows: a funny Browser role-play browser game and my party Trolloc Combat Corp is under the top 10 parties in the game.
A few days ago we conquered Salisbury and the castle is ours. Now I've changed my armour for a woodcutter-shirt and we are building defense installations - I hope to defend this territory really long.
