Left Behind Eternal Forces
Valve reports that there's a patch available through Steam for Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, which should sort out a number of tedious bugs.

Well, here are a few highlights: "Indestructible shields are now really indestructible." "Fixed teleporting that could occur when using lockpick." "Fixed invisible wall present on level 7." And "Fixed Percy getting stuck in a window." Which reminds me - Rob moved house last week, and, well, if you couldn't get a sofa in through a front door, would your first instinct be to try and raise it through the first floor window using ropes? Somebody should patch him.

"Left Behind" refers to the righteous as the Tribulation Force, an expression derived from the Christian Bible.

The Christians disappear in a flash, as they're taken to heaven, and then we flash forward in time to see an evil man named Nicholae Carpathia (the anti-Christ). In the Christians' absence, he created a world government that unified all countries and eliminated all war on earth. Most of the world is generally happy now that there's no more genocide or mass murder on earth, but you play a missionary who must stop Carpathia from maintaining this peace, by starting a religious war in the name of Christ at all costs. Zimbabwe: Fertilizer Saga - Questions Cry Out for Answers Forgive the journalist in me, but the way the Zimbabwean media across the great divide has covered the fertilizer issue appears to have engendered more ignorance and confusion than understanding and insight. I do not know whether I am the only one who is thoroughly confused about who did what and where and with what South African fertilizer company supplier and with what motive in mind. The question is: What the hell went on as far as the importation of sub standard fertilizer is concerned?
