General Update
More Empires :) Lots more. A little researgence of Vegas 2 and a new exciting addictive game called Hinterland. A cheap town building rpg game. Looks cheap, plays smooth and alot of nice features. More radio shows, "Think the Unthinkable" and "Charm Offensive"
General Update
Total War : Empire... Best game ever... Spent all the weekend and last week bashing native americans outta there homes and winning. Also listening to the radio 4 show, "The Ultimate Truth" and "Saturday Night Fry". Very funny shows, hopefully David Michell will carry on doing that shizzle.
Great ambition is the passion of a great character.
Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts.
All depends on the principles which direct them.

Prussia, are slow... They are split in two by West Prussia which is in the hands of Poland - Lithuania. Surely the first step is to bash those poles? NO you will lose my friend. If you attack em they will alone take you down, but will also get there friends to help. Namely Saxony and others. With your two regions and limited money, victory is impossible. Best bet... wait for Courland, North of Konisgburg to attack you, eventually they will, they are week and will lose easily. That gives you a third region.
Make sure you raid the trade ports of your enemies and the trade routes, it boosts your money alot for a short time. And try for the love of muffins to get as many trade routes up as possible. More money = More troops = Easier Conquest.
America to begin with, is easy to grab a couple of colonies... Expecially the northern Canada regions. They get some nice fir trading setup. But it takes along time to grow the ports up there. Bashing those natives is simple but, it takes alot of patience.
In those regions, Forts are a big must. And levelem up and make sure you garrison them, otherwise they are useless. One mounted and one line infantry should be awesome. Star forts are the nuts.
General Update
I feel good today, it's quite a strange feeling. After feeling so bad over the last few months, it a welcome change, I hope it carries on.
Several new things this week, I'm on the verge of finishing a series called "Tour Of Duty". Quite a good series based in Vietnam during the late 60's. Shame it was only 3 series.
Staring this weekend I will be watching the documentary series "The First World War" A ten part documentary about... well you guessed it, the 1st World War.
Something about war compells me to find out more. And it's not necessarily the last century conflicts, but all conflicts in the last 5000 years interest me. Just a shame I didn't do what I had hoped and planned to do when I left school, join the army. Obviously I didn't want it enough.
General Update
Well half term is over, and to state the obvious, I'm really not looking forward to getting back to college. Yes its a nice social place to go, but when your struggling on getting the work done, it becomes quite a daunting place. But daunting or not, college is where I must be, so here I be. So what's on the agenda this week I hear you ask. Well lessons, coursework handin's, pressure basically.
Think of pressure as a big bag of crap,
if you keep filling the bag with crap,
eventually it will either overflow,
or it'll explode in your face.

To state that I am happy would be a lie. I'm far from it. But with life as complicated as it is, I cannot be happy all of the time, surely. But what bothers me the most is the lack of happy moments, those fleeting seconds of pure glee one gets when something good happens to you. It always happens, or at least you hope it does.
For me these last few month has been a grind, a grind that seems to have no ending. If only I had a small amount of forsight, I would be able to reassure myself that I'm going in the right direction and I that I don't feel completely lost half of the time.
Is it wrong for me to be waiting for a disaster of huge preportions to effect my life? I know for sure then that I will react. Maybe it's the lack of emotion I generally show on the outside, normally an angry or bemused face greets most visitors to my world, I hardly ever smile. But that's me and right now that's the least of my problems. Or is it? Should I worry about this. I don't particulary worry about anything. I battle my way through things, and if I win, its a bonus.
Can continued years of failure,
teach you not to be afraid to fail?
Make you feel invulnerable to failure?
Or does it make failing that little bit worse?

General Update
It's been a long few weeks, I've been struggling to maintain my concerntration on the important tasks, and it finally dawned on me that I could fail this 2nd Year at college. I can rectify this by putting the hours in and getting my head down. But it's a silly situation I find myself in. To work in any competent capacity I need to be able to focus on my work. And at the moment I can't seem to pull my finger out.
Life is strange, and unpredictable,
but if it wasn't,
would it be easier?
Or is that in its self the question of life.
I.5 - Briggsil
It's easy to just say "Pull your finger out mate" to someone in my position, my mind works in a different way to most. Some would just nod and try and show some kind of improved perfomance. I on the other hand analyse way to much and would usually answer this statement with a question. "Where's my finger?"
Some may say that I'm just "putting off the work" or I'm "too lazy" My answer to these statements is "yes" What defense do I honestly have to justify my lack of focus/concerntration. "Drugs?" "Depression?" Both, neither, who knows. The only person who should know is me. And it would seem that I'm hiding the answer from myself.
Health Update 6
It's not all "doom and gloom" for me at the moment. I'm feeling fine these days, get the odd headache and occasional discomfort in the back, but I guess the diet is starting to have some affect on my life. I may have only lost a couple of "lbs" and it may not show, but it has made the difference.
The catch 22, is a bastard,
no matter how you feel,
If your stuck in its grasp,
fighting could be your only option.
I.6 - Briggsil
"Fighting" I hear you say, let me explain. Hyperthetically, your stuck in a cycle, like I stated in a earlier post. "For me to do exercise I need to be relatively pain free. To lose weight, I need to do exercise and to get rid of the back trouble I need to lose weight"Now how does one fight his way out of this situation. Well, I suppose your break the cycle somewhere. Do I go through a mentally difficult pain barrier and involuntarily exercise against my will? Do I try to lose weigh the difficult way and try and diet. Each way has a potential of failing, and heavily at that. 
General Update
Diet is going well, it's a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. The lack of general energy is my main problem at the moment, and although that will be solved, I'm struggling to find any high points at the moment. But I gotta keep plugging away and get my weight under control.
I worked out today that if 5 people weighed 140kg or less each, and got onto the college lift, if I were to get on with them, I could cause the lift to break. I know, sad and lonely.
Life can be a funny thing,
but some people don't find it funny,
why you ask?
It's probably because their not alive.

Your probably are wondering why this website is called Warrior Web. Short answer is, I don't know. Long answer was that there was a cool picture based off the game Guild Wars, that showed a cool profile shot of a guy dressed in armour. Now I don't know why I named this web site Warrior Web, but that picture inspired me.
OOOOOh!, I found that the "Talk Like A Pirate Day" is going to be on the 19th of September this year... put it in your diary folks.
General Update
Things appear to be improving, I started a diet last Friday and although its only really been a week, I feel better. I need to keep it up, and hopefully it will have a major affect on my health.
Why do we all seem so worried about the environment?
Do we believe that we have the power to change our lives?
Does being alone mean we are lonely?
Why do people need to believe in an after life?
I.3 - Briggsil
I feel creative, but I'm having trouble keeping focus on what really is important. Do I avoid this fresh patch of creativness to keep the focus and concerntration? Do I embrace it and hope some of it rubs off onto what's important. Your answers on a postcard please...
Health Update 5
My back is still causing me problems, physio and chiropractor have eased the pain for a time but a catch 22 situation has hit me, Need to lose weight, Need to do exercise, Need to get rid of the back trouble. For me to do exercise I need to be relatively pain free. To lose weight, I need to do exercise and to get rid of the back trouble I need to lose weight... The circle of truth is complete, tell me about it.
The Circle of Truth,
is not necessarily a circle,
but it will always be round.
Make sense? doubt it.

World Of Warcraft Update 3
Got a WoW tip for ya... don't do heroic instances with a crap group. Especially "Halls Of Lightening" You will wipe on mobs constantly. Make sure you have at least got a good tank and a good healer, that are well geared.
At the moment, I am learning the new Incsription profession, I have it up to 386, but without Herbalism, its turning very expensive habit. But it doesn't bother me, at level 80 every quest you do is worth around 13 gold so its a habit I can afford.
Next on the list of wants, is the epic riding skill 300. It'll cost 5000 gold. Maybe its worth trying to get the guild to help, we'll have to see. After that, actually getting the mount will be simple.
I'm trying to work out what the next set of content Blizzard will realise. Obviously a level cap will be upped to 90 most likely. Another new profession? Another new hero class or race class, maybe a Bard class or a Necromancer?
Health Update 4
Still problems with my back, don't think it will go away any time soon, I know why. A lot of soul searching over the last few days, and the realisation is, that my life has to change. Change... that's a big word. Next step, figuring out which aspect of life needs to change, and how to change it.
World Of Warcraft Update 2
Well I managed to battle my way to lvl 80. First time I have ever accomplished the level cap. I've spent a lot of time on the game over the years, and finally I have reached the end of game. Now I gotta get some good gear and bash up my skills.
Health Update 3
Well christmas was a let down, as previously stated, I got back issues due to my fatness. Well the back issues didn't go away over christmas. So being an active blogger was almost impossible, as most of the time i spent either getting manipulated by a chiropractor, or getting bashed by my physio. In the last week, with stretching and general lack of use the pain has eased, but it will almost certainley re-occur. I just hope I have time to work before it does.
After great human trouble, a greater prepares itself:
the Great Mover renews the ages.
Rain, blood, milk, famine, sword and plague:
in the sky fire seen, a long shooting star.

World Of Warcraft Update
It got me again!!!! Yes Christmas is the worst time to pick up terrible habits such as back wrecking WoW. A level 64 Human Retribution Paladin was what was left behind from previous exploits, so now was the time to get to at least 70. Well level 70 wasn't too difficult, actually it was piss easy, especially when got to level 68, because Northend opened up and experience was pretty much doubled. So as of today, I am now level 78 and should hit 80 this weekend sometime if I keep blasting away.
New instances and new chances of gameplay have opened up since the intergration of Wrath Of The Lich King. For those who want to see some old instances and some new, Project Lore is a great place to go and watch a bunch of funny lucky SOB's play these instances.
Health Update 2
Well speak to soon or what, no sooner had my pathetic existance gone from hell back to earth, my body goes straight back to hell. Tremendous back failure, would be the term to use, after getting some pyshio on an already existing back problem, a new more painful, more degenerate back problem occurs. Before stretching was the problem, but now the simple task of breathing becomes more painful with every breath. So sitting here typing this blog that pretty much no-one reads is not helping, but that is life right? Pain, loneliness and general ill feeling towards the world?
Being seated by night in secret study,
alone resting on the bronze stool,
a slight flame emerging from solitude
makes utter what it is not vain to believe.

The above quote, is quite strange. I never had a planned quote in mind, I just looked in the book, and there it was. Lucky I suppose, or fate? "YOU DECIDE!" Wow, how lame was that, a bloody "Big Brother" quote. Someone please shoot me in the head now.
Finding ones self on or being placed,
in an excrement waterway,
without an adequate means of aquatic propulsion.
Is not the best place to find ones self.
