Easter Glitch
Firstly, allow me to apologize for the bad Fanstock link I had up here for some time. I guess the Easter Bunny must have a Gremlin side to him. :-0 Anyway, lots of new topics in the fora such as catapults vs. elephants. I never did like the prospect of a group of cats suddenly appearing on my badly prepared horizon. You can add your opinion righthere.

Fanstock 2000 News!
Our wise and wonderful Angel Washizu was actually there to witness and participate in Fanstock 2000! He has written up a series of reports and has linked us to cool pictures of famous figures like Mike McCart, Bruce Shelley and…Angel Washy! The reports on upcoming games will make your mouth water and your mouse hand quiver.
Now, what can we do to fill those little clouds for each of these two icons of fan sites. How about: Thunder: “Ya, my kool plan vil vork…Vashy vil drinkk ad fundem und get zloshed to ze quills vhile I exercise restraint, pretending zu drinkk, und zen I vil beat his bottum in zis Konkerers X-packk! He vil be zo enragedt und inflamedt that I vil hav tzu open ze fire station faucet to kool him douwn. Ov kourse I vil use ze okkazion tzu empty my glass of beer on him, zo zat I kan say ve vere equally drunk. I am zo brilliant!” Washy: “Little does he know that I turned off the water supply, I am drinking beer-coloured lemonade and I spiked his drink with something that even the little sissy sips he is taking will make him forget what country he is in! Hehehe, I am so cool, I am so baaad and I am gonna kick his heinie in all the games we get to play!” :-))

No they are not!
It would seem that the ‘No’s’ have it folks. I’m glad that so many people agree with HGS staff that these games will go on for a looooong time. As all great games should. Obi Wan…you are truly wise and may the force remain omnipotent within you always. 🙂

AoE Forums Dead?!
Well, I say that wedsaz has the final word on how well-visited the forums are but feel free to dive into the lively discussion and give your opinion here…if you are still here of course. 🙂

Picture Posting
Seems somebody is having trouble figuring out how to go about posting pictures. Why not post a quick message right here to help this chap on his way? Hey, make sure you check out a little program one of the dudes over at AoK Heaven has laid out for you. Do tell him what you think…feedback is so great!

Abu Dhabi and UAE?
Well if you didn’t manage to get your AoK scenario in on time but you are one of the four lucky, lucky people to be selected to be flown over to the United Arab Emirates for the world RoR tourney, I would say you have been more than compensated! Thanks to Angel Washizu for the info. The details are here. Have fun down there guys! Oh, Uncle Al has some tips for you UAE travellers, right over here.

12-year olds rule!
Well actually, when you look over here they don’t. But there are a lot of young players, including a great herd of 12-year old, playing the games and posting in the fora. Even Angel Dutch Uncle Al welcomes them as they seem to be mostly as well behaved as they are spoken.

Newbies Galore for ROR; get ’em while they’re fresh! 🙂
Man, that sounds like Dark Angel has taken over the news here. Fact is, there are lots of new players of AoE and RoR and they would love to be beaten…er, welcomed by you. Why not drop them a line in Dutch Uncle style?

They did it!
At some point early today this hallmark site’s hit counter was passed by our sista site Age of Kings at supernova speed. It is with nothing but great pride and a lot of pleasant surprise that we here at Age of Empires and all at HGS bear witness to such a grand event. Thanks must go to all the staff that work or have worked at HGS sites over the years as they have always promoted all the sites in our little HGS circle. However, our most special thanks must go to the AOK Heaven staff for making AOKH such a pleasant place to visit and, of course, to you our fans who have kept and will keep it that way.

Watch out today everybody!
Maybe some of you have noticed but after about a full year in existence, our Big Sis site is about to have the same number of hits as this site has gotten in just under 3 years. Congrats are in order to the hard working dudes and dudettes! As for the forums dying…well, I’m not even going to grace that with a link. 🙂
