Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

I been giving a lot of thought lately to buying a car and it is funny how this kind of train of thought runs around in a persons head. What kind of car would I like? What kind of car would impress the pretty woman next door? What kind of car says “Me”?

It’s rather ironic because I, and you, are part of a culture that spends a lot of time thinking about things like this. There are subtle indicators that we all look for and understand and it really can have an impact. As an example I am a real sucker for a woman who drives a Volkswagen. Not sure if it’s the type of woman that is attracted to a volkswagen or if its the volkswagen. Or for that matter if I have just been brainwashed by Madison Avenue.

Anyway the thought hit me that it would be cool to driver a hummer. And somehow the thought of Conan popped into my head and I wondered “what kind of car would Conan drive?” Would he drive a hummer? Hmm… I am not so sure.

Given the modern day concerns with the environment, global warming, gas prices, etc. would Crom look upon Conan with a pleasing eye as he drove around in his gas sucking status symbol? Or would Crom insist that Conan drive something more eco-friendly? Maybe a hybrid or an electric car?

Dunno, But one thing is for sure. Conan don’t look too happy driving around in a metro. Seems to be a contradiction in terms. It’s just not him.

The New Age of Conan Game (Hyborian Adventures) has some unique features about it. And one of them is the crafting system.

When it comes to games and game playing I am a real packrat. I love to accumulate things and I love to make new things. I enjoy collecting up and questing after unique armor and weapons. For me that is more than half the fun of any game. It’s better than all the fighting!

One unique thing about the new Conan game is the crafting skill of architect where you can make buildings, castles, keeps, catapults, trebuchets and even whole cities. It seems to be pretty cool to me and it will be a lot of fun.

So, if you are probably never going to build a castle in real life you can still experience the thrill of building and owning your own castle in the virtual world of Hyboria! Who’s to say which is more real?

Here is an amazon link to the game and below is a video that shows crafting and the architect skill.
