Tuesday, April 13th. JT's got some strong opinions!
If you're up for a bit of a debate, then head over here and check out Justice T's latest editorial, entitled "Whose fault is it if I kick your ass?".  Well, he sure knows what he wants to say, and he sure as hell is going to say it.  The situation over here's wayyyy different from the one you in the US have, but I won't bore you with the details (unless you ask me).

Monday, April 12th. Military power in Egypt?
Are you a bit of a military history buff?  If so, then perhaps you can help me out.  You see, I'd quite like to find out more about the Egyptian army (my military history more or less starts with Hastings).  So, if you fancy aiding a rodent in need, then do so here.

There's a new contest from our hosts this week:).   Check out the GS Box for more information.

Weekend, April 10th/11th. Apologies for the last couple of days:(
Wow!  An update!  Must be PH's lucky day;).  Sorry for not updating recently - fact is, I've been getting some real awful connections from my ISP.  Also, I've been rather busy during the day and have only been able to update in the evenings.  Added to that is the fact that the US Masters golf is on at the moment.  Why should that affect things?, I hear you ask.   Well, remember that I'm in the UK so it's on the tv in the evenings.  Sooo, I haven't been able to fit in updates for 3 HGS sites in such a relatively short time between food and golf.

However, it seems as if others haven't been suffereng a similar malaise.  The one and only Jayhawk for example.   He's been scouring the Net yet again for any more Egypt-related pics.  He's found a fair few (this being on example) and posted them here in the forum.  By the way, Jayhawk's Eyrie is well worth checking out too - loads of great information on that:).

Wednesday, April 7th. What's that pic?!

Does that pic looks cool or what?  What do you mean what is it?  It's the 3 pyramids at Giza, found on the Terraserver by Jayhawk and kindly posted in the forum.  Here's what he had to say about it:

"The top of the picture shows a bit of Nile valley with lots of houses.  Just right of the road (black line) the Sphinx is clearly visible.  Also there are the three large pyramids, which as can be seen do not line up perfectly, i.e. not a straight line. In shape and size (magnitude ) the line up with Orion/Osiris belt.  Next to the largest pyramid (right) the solar boat museum can be seen."

Find out more about this pic in the forum.  Actually, while we're on the subject of the forums, then you might remember me posting a news item a couple of days back about a Pharaoh preview at Game Tropics.  Well, there's been quite a bit of follow-up on that in the aforementioned forum, with some being not terribly impressed by what Ogre wrote.  Get the full story here.

Heard of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 for short)?  If not, then suffice to say that it's one of the most important exhibitions in the gaming year.  Loads of new games first see the light of day there, and updates are often given about those in development.  Impressions and Sierra will certainly be there, showcasing Pharaoh and a couple of other new games.  The bad news is that it's an event for the press only.  However, never fear, because there are at least 3 Angels who'll be there, taking notes and letting us who are less fortunate know what they find.  So, stay tuned to HGS Main News and the other HGS sites for the latest stuff direct from the guys in NY!

Great news comes from Columbia today, where Angel Alexander I has been trying for the past couple of months to get a decent connection to the Net.  Well, I was able to chat to him on ICQ for about an hour last night (despite the lag), and he says that he might (note: might) be back soon.  Cool, eh?  I bet you've all had enough of me anyway;).
