They Cost Not Lots

Public policy decisions should be based on evidence. So why are taxpayers funding faith schools and alternative therapies?

"We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality," a senior adviser to President Bush told the New York Times in the summer of 2002.

We've all heard the rumor that Magtheridon's lair is being changed in 2.4, so as to "lessen its complexity". Until recently we could only speculate on what these changes might be, but Geoff Goodman, one of the game designers, has let the cat out of the bag. In a recent interview he gave the low down on the changes that will be happening in each of the encounters three phases.

Last night, Southern Wardens took a little trip out to Hellfire Peninsular to politely ask Doom Lord Kazzak to shut his hole. It turns out however that the big ugly commander of the Legion is not one for reasonable conversation. We were left with no other option than to smack him down... so that is exactly what we did!

Gratz Wardens. That's five new bosses heads in 5 weeks.

One of our Mages, Vortron, frapsed some of the encounter and this can be viewed below.

My name is Scott. I was born in the early 70's, educated in the 80's and run amok in the 90's. 2000 onward marks my "mature" years. The only thing worth mentioning pre 1990 is that I was introduced to music at a very early age and started learning my first instrument (drums) at the age of eight. This was to shape much of my later life, and still influences it to this day.

ONE of evolution's missing links has been found lurking in Sydney Harbour.

Although only a microscopic, single-celled creature, it has excited scientists around the world because it is the nearest relative yet found of a group of deadly parasites.

Well, after many years of shying away console games I decided (somewhat on the spur of the moment), to upgrade my old PS2 with a shiny new PS3! I haven't played console games for a very long while because to be honest, there have been very few games made with any kind of depth to them. A myriad of shoot 'em ups and racing games is a tad on the shallow side for my gaming tastes. So why buy one then after letting the PS2 lie fallow for years?
