    12:00AM EST – ES Office Pictures!
    Archangel put up two nice pics from Ensemble Studios.   You can check out their t-shirts in one picture, and some swords in the one right here.  Pretty neat.

    If you have always dreamed of working for a game company, you might want to check out a neat resource at gamestats, which lists the employment pages of many cool companies to work for.

     

    Just another reminder, make sure you try out the new forum features soon, as they should help browsing them faster for all of us (see yesterday’s news).

    I just watched Willow again.  Man, that movie is awesome.

    1:00AM EST – New Forum Features!
    Some exciting things will be happening pretty soon in the forums.   If you check out your preferences, you’ll notice two new things.  One will show all images as a link, so you don’t have to load them if you don’t want to.   Another takes out ALL the graphics and only displays text.  The second one is not yet implemented, so wait a bit to try it out.  The forums will be down tomorrow night while Angel Mack re-structures them.   Everyone is saved from the monster signatures, and you can thank Angel Zen.

    1:00AM EST – Updated Gamestats AOK Preview!
    Irex
     has just put up the all new Age of Kings preview, with comments based on the stuff he has recently seen.  Check it out.

    1:00AM EST – Who is Your Hero?
    There’s a nice thread going on in Veni, Vidi, Vici on who your personal hero is.  Just a reminder, our AOE/ROR forum should mostly be about strategy leaving VVV for clan/ community stuff or just meeting other agers.

    Man I hate all those dumb jokes on Snapple bottles.  I think the real joke is that there are no prizes.

    3:00PM EST – Ok Ok!
    Hehehe, after posting that Austin Powers also triggered the “pow” cheat, I got a bunch of e-mails saying that any word containing “pow” would set it off, so “Austin Powers” isn’t anything special.   Throw me a frickin bone here!

    Thanks to all of you that corrected me.

    3:00PM EST – Winter and DM!
    Paul Bettner
     of Ensemble Studios, also known as “winter,” posted in the AOKH forum about how he never really enjoyed AOE DM, but is nuts about AOK Deathmatch.  Curious as to what he likes about it?  Read Age of Kings Heaven at http://ageofkings.com

    Halflife fans… check this out NOW.  It’s so much fun.

    6:00PM EST – Finally Caught Up on theToons!
    There are a TON of new agetoons to check out.  Go have a good laugh at them.  I want to put together a list of the top ten agetoons.  Nominate your favorite ones in this thread, but don’t post them the forum, just their links. 🙂


    4:30PM EST – New Cheat Code Found!
    You’d think that all the cheats would have been found in ROR.   Well, they have, although James Kennedy e-mailed me with this message:

    Hi! I’m James Kennedy and I was recently playing the rise of rome expansion
    campaign called “Mithridates” when I decided to play around with chats. I
    don’t know if the code is known but it’s new to me. When you type “austin
    powers
    ” you hear a baby and when you check your town center you have a baby on a tricycle with a bazzuka. same as pow.
    email me: federal312@yahoo.com

    I tried this out and it works. Not a huge deal, since it’s the same as the “pow” cheat, but goes to show you that there may be a few secrets still left in ROR.  Thanks James.

    4:45PM EST – Agetoon Section Updated!
    Due to popular demand, I have updated our agetoon section with a bunch of new agetoons.  This covers all the toons in the random script.   Sometime this weekend, I’ll post the ones that are not in the script yet as well.   Enjoy the new toon pages (67-73).

    4:45PM EST – The Definition of Chivalry!
    The knights of Britain and their code of chivalry are of great interest to a lot of people.  Here is a definition from an online encyclopedia on what chivalry was.

    “Chivalry can be defined as the sworn moral and behavioral code of conduct governing knights during the Middle Ages; it’s qualities included: honour, courage, gallantry, chastity, courtesy, generosity, and loyalty, among others. In later time, the chivalric idea came to form the basis of gentlemanly behaviour.”

    4:45PM EST – Stories from the Pit!
    I posted a little thing the other day asking you if you could find a weird story from AOEH’sStorage Pit news archive.  I got this e-mail from Da Pikeman.

    Hi Washizu,
      Taking you up on your offer I did a little digging in “the pit” and found 
    an interesting headline on March 23rd 1998 about Yeggs tavern thinking 
    about suing over Heaven adding the tavern.  I wonder what ever became of 
    this argument?

    David Glenn
    Da Pikeman

    Heaven and Hell
    Copyright Infringement?

    The boys at Yegg’s Tavern thinking about suing Heaven? Is there a deeper 
    reason to this, or they’re simply annoyed at being always beaten up by 
    angels? How can Saleh sue us about the word tavern, when he can’t even 
    enter inside one? If they plan to continue with this course of action, 
    Heaven will tribute 1000 gold and food to the judge and hire a priest as 
    defense attorney to convert the jury. Yeggers have simply no chance to beat 
    us at our own games. Basically, they are completely doomed. – Not to be 
    taken seriously – Omnivac

    Well, basically we told Saleh that until he could ever win a game of ROR against an Angel, even with both legs tied around our back and alt-tabbing to read the AOEH forums, he better knock off all this talk about suing us.  Today, Saleh has finally grown up in to a respectable young man and works occasionally at Area-S.

    Man, this is weird.

    Comments in the AOK Heaven forum.

    ES web has a few comments from the Ensemble Studios team as well.

    12:00AM EST – Hmm….
    This is not your average AOE demo download trial page.

    12:00AM EST – New Poll at ES Web!
    Which Unique Unit do you look forward to playing the most?   The choices are:

    Samurai – Longbowmen – Jannisary – Axe Thrower – Cho-Ko-Nu

    It’s too early to tell who’s going to win, but I voted for the Samurai 🙂   Make sure youvote!

    Can you find anything weird in The Pit?
