DC Universe online

DC Universe Online is the name of the next MOMRPG video game that pits the superheroes of the DC universe against their evil counterparts. As a player you can be part of the game by creating your own character (an avatar of sorts) and in turn be another superhero or supervillain according to your preferences. The story begins with a future version of Lex Luthor that travels to the past in order to warn Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman (the Big Three) about a chain of events that will result in their deaths and as a consequence the doom of Earth. Presented as a promotional trailer, the beginning sequence of the game is one of the most superb pieces I have seen. My favorite part: seeing Superman realize his mistake when he returns to Earth just to fall inadvertently in a trap set by his greatest enemy. Priceless.

I like videogames,I will try to get the game and give it a try, It's quite interesting that Lex Luthor make such a thing for try to kill the big three, however I think that the heros will not let him perform his objective.

I've been always a marvel guy, but this game seems to be really cool. From what I can see, graphics are very nice and the plot of the story seems to be quite interenting. your post is very awesome, you make me be interest in this game and now I have to look for it to buy it, or just to search more about it so I can get a better idea of what is the game about.

What are LAS TRES MARÍAS called in English?

Image
(Left to right:  Alnitak ,  Alnilam  and  Mintaka )  The TRES MARIAS is this group of three bright stars that are apparently at the same distance from one another though in reality none is at the same distance. They are called like that in most of Latin America and apparently they are called the THREE KINGS (the Magi) in the Philippine Islands. The TRES MARIAS after whom those stars are named are Mary, mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene and Mary, the wife of Clopas (probably a relative of Jesus's). To find them in the sky means you are also looking at the constellation of Orion (the Warrior), to be more precise, its belt because that is precisely what the TRES MARIAS are called in English: Orion's Belt.

The Maps of Ship-Trap Island

Image
Once I had my high school students read The Most Dangerous Game, a short story by Richard Connell. Rainsford, the main character, is a professional hunter traveling by ship to his next hunting area, accidentally ends up in an island called Ship- Trap island. When he goes into the island he finds there are two men living in a palace in the island. One of them is a Cossack general and the other, his brutish servant.  The Cossack is called general Zaroff who is also  a game hunter but has become bored of hunting regular game and now uses the island's unique position to capture sailors from shipwrecks. He lets them go first and next after some time he hunts them down. Rainford's arrival who is worldwide famous presents Zaroff with a rare opportunity to find excitement in hunting again by hunting another hunter. Little does Zaroff know that Rainsford is The Most Dangerous Game in the World and hunting him will not be easy at all. My students enjoyed themselves at reading

How do you say NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO in English?

Image
"Oh no! Not another power blackout!"             NACIMIENTO NAVIDEÑO or PESEBRE NAVIDEÑO is a tradition which consists in recreating the moment of Jesus Christ's birth with small figures representing Joseph, Mary, the shepherds and the Wise Kings. Baby Jesus is set on December 25th of course, while the other figures are placed before, usually at the beginning of December.       The translation is NATIVITY SCENE, though some people only say CHRISTMAS SCENE. This last term is a bit broad -- even an image of Santa Claus riding his sleigh falls under that description. Saying CHRISTMAS NATIVITY SCENE would be perhaps more appropriate.                                                                                        Merry Christmas!
