Elder game

The elder game was developed by a big time game designer named Eric Heimburg. He started out as an engineer for massive networked simulation software. After many years of engineering experience, he applied to Turbine Entertainment, where he spent the next five years. He began there as an engineer, but after a while he was asked to be the effective Producer for the Asheron’s Call 2 post-ship team. The AC2 live team was small, so he got to do everything, from production planning to coding to design. Here he found a real love of game systems design and balancing. He took the role of lead systems designer for the  AC2 expansion, “AC2: Legions”, which was very well received by players. Since then, Eric has been an engineer and designer on projects both large and small. Most recently he has been creating games for the casual market, but his true passion remains in massive gaming. A game created by the Elder game is called project Gorgon. Project Gorgon is a new approach to MMO's(massively multiplayer online game), it's not just a game, but a virtual world. This game is a game about exploration and it rewards players who try new things but it also has story lines that you can follow. The Gorgon project is a very realistic looking game but it is a mythical type of game.

How to Break in a Baseball Glove | The Art of Manliness

How to break in a baseball glove

On the website artofmanliness.com, it demonstrates many examples of what you need to be a real man and how to be a real man. One example that caught my eye was how to break in a baseball glove. Their first step was to put hot water in the pocket of the baseball glove. When the glove is still wet, pound it with a baseball to form the pocket. Next they say to put the baseball where you want the pocket to be formed and tie it with a belt and leave it for a few hours in a warm, dry area. When the glove is still damp, do some more pounding and also play lots of catch. Some things you shouldn't do to break in the glove is put it in the oven, run over it with a car, or put too much oil on it. The way I like to break in my glove is to just play a lot of catch. I don't like using those other techniques because it doesn't usually break in my glove the way I want it to.
