Real Steel: Movie review

Rated: PG-13

Release Date: October 7th

Well, basically, this is kind of a mash up between Transformers 3 and Rocky, not a great one, but a mash up nontheless. The movie takes place in the near future, where robots are fighting each other instead of humans, it does give it a realistic vibe, it's futuristic, but not exceeding any realistic limits.

The movie has some of the better fighting scenes I've seen in a movie, the sheer excitement of a boxing match and the adrenaline rush you get when watching one, they mimic that well. But besides the fight scenes, I wouldn't watch it again.

You see, "Real Steel" has a plot, which is nice, in some movies, but the plot here is this, sappy, father and son, kind of plot, this includes slow, boring scenes with tears and romance. This does not belong in a movie about giant "Rock 'em, Sock 'em" robots... 

I'd say, this is a nice film to watch for free, but I wouldn't pay for it if I were you, wait for the TV version. Although, if you can handle the slow scenes, go for it, the fighting scenes are EPIC on the big theatre screen, you might get your money's worth just for that.

For conclusion, the movie's decent, you can't say it was bad, but I'm just saying, you're better off watching .

Transformers 3, it has giant robots fighting, but does not include boring "father-son-crying" scenes.

 "Real Steel" gets my 3.5/5, it's a nice film, but there are better choices :)

Travian: Game review

Travian - an online multiplayer strategy game, you've seen the ads, you've heard the stories.
But, you're still not sure, is it worth playing?
Well, the answer lies in yourself, but, from my point of view-  yes.
A game this thought of, this balanced, really deserves to be atleast tested once, I got addicted to it.
(Yes, I still play, you can comment and I'll link you to some awesome strategy guides)
I think, for me, the funnest part in Travian, is the diversity, there are 3 tribes, you can play in any style you'd like.
Aggressive, very aggressive, simming (passive) are just a few examples of play styles.
The 3 tribes
Teutons: Teutons are the attacking, the aggressive and the blood thirsty of the 3, they specialize
in attack and have the cheapest and most efficient raiding unit of them all- The humble Club Swinger.
Gauls: Complete opposites of the Teuton, the defensive and quick tribe, the Gauls have the trapper, which traps troops, they have the cheapest defensive unit, the Phlanax and they're very flexible.
They have the second best raiding unit in the game, so you can still play aggressive raiding with them.
Romans: A balance of the two tribes, great attacking troops and great defending troops, the romans shine in troops efficiency.
But, alas, the Roman troops are very well equipped, that means they move slowly and are very expensive.

For me, I prefer the Teutons, but that's just me, and for beginners, the Gauls do just fine.

Well, you've just tasted a small taste from the world of travian.
It's free, give it a try:
