Let’s talk about games. A new game is out that made me kick my SE4 addiction. The game is called Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns. And I’m addicted to it. Kohan is a real time strategy game set in a fantasy world. Yet it’s not a real time game in the vein of Command And Conquer. Kohan has roots in some of the classic historical turn based game.

Such concepts as morale and true line of sight are just some of the things that makes this one different. The way you control your troops is also handled differently than in a normal real time strategy game. Instead of having to select and control individual units, Kohan uses a company based system. There is a captain, then a frontline of four slots and then two support unit slots. Depending on what units you put in the frontline handles how the company acts.

The graphics are superb. No fancy smancy 3D graphics. Just plain old graphics that look really good. here are two images I cut out to show off Kohan’s graphics. Below these are more.

Here are some of the same shots plus two others, just a whole lot bigger. Shot One. Shot Two. Shot Three. Shot Four.

And here is a link to the official Kohan forum.

Well here it is, my birthday. So I’m twenty nine now. I’m going out for a beer with my brother in a few minutes. Later I do plan on hitting Applebee’s and of course McClintock Brewery and Grill. Maybe I will stop into The Bop. So if you know me and you are in the area stop down to one of these places. As the night comes I will put up just where exactly I will be at.

I also have to wish Troy a happy birthday. Me and him were born on the same day, same month, but a different year. Happy b-day buddy! Also a happy b-day to Carla (Tom’s wife) who also shares this day with me and Izer.

Check back later for times and places if your interested in having a beer.

A number of items before I can go on my way. First a big thank you to the Ross’s for taking in. I had a lot of fun. Dinner was excellent and I even told my grandma that I ate sausage! Almost Famous is a movie I definitely recommend to everyone. Especially if you really get in to music. And maybe the cat did get to me just a bit. But It was a trip I needed and I glad I went.

Second some more game stuff. I told Ross about a game called Black And White. I picked this badboy up yesterday and loaded it up at the Izer’s. It is as weird as it is just awesome to look at. You are a god in this one and the neat feature is that you can raise a animal as a pet. It grows to a godly stature. And it does poop. First time I saw this happen I didn’t know what to think. You could hear the creatures stomach rumble and then it squats. Weird.

My birthday was ok. I had some fun. Dinner with the Izer’s was nice. Only I wasn’t as behaved as last year. I did tear up the t-bone. Me and my little brother went down to McClintock Brewery and Grill for a few. Free beer. A fine gentleman named Craig had a digital camera and snapped a few shots of the Turk brothers.

Craig has a neat site that you can click here to get to.

After me and my brother were done I went over to Applebee’s. Megan was bartending and she hooked me up with drinkable booze. No offense McClintock. And that was it. I went home and fell asleep.
