    24 New Species Discovered

     24 new species found by scientists in Suriname. The purple and black toad they found looks pretty neat looking.  Even though I don't like snakes the one they found is cool looking also.  Too see the other species just follow the link and then launch the slide show.

    UO to Be Reborn

     For those that didn’t know, UO is getting reborn sometime this summer. It’s getting an all-new graphics engine that looks MUCH better then the old 2D -3D engine. It’s called Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn. All this will be is all-new graphics nothing else.

    But if that’s not enough sometime after it’s release the 9th UO expansion pak will be coming out called Stygian Abyss. This will have a new race to play “Gargoyles” plus new dungeons, and all that fun stuff. So keep an eye open for both releases.
