THOR Returns on Shadow Hand!
THOR guild has been registered in the SWTOR pre-launch guild program since early August. We had enough pre-orders to lock in our guild for the pre-launch. Our server, Shadow Hand, has been chosen today. We hope you join us after launch. Currently the guild is locked and we can't do anything until pre-launch at least.

Cheaters Never Prosper

BF3, Cheating, Hacks

I purchased Battlefield 3 a few weeks ago for the PC. I have been a Battlefield player since their original Battlefield 1942 game, and I played several BF1942 addons including Eve of Destruction. I purchased several of the Battlefield sequels including Battlfield 2142 and Battlefield 2. I did not purchase Battlfield Vietnam, as I thought it was a ripoff of Eve of Destruction, which I had already played in my mind. Overall you could call me a veteran Battlefield player and skilled at that. I even ran a Battlefield 1942 server for a while back in the day.

Today I was poking around the Minecraft Wiki trying to figure out some Minecraft crafting strategies. I found out that running around trying to find coal all the daytime hours in Minecraft is a total waste of time. Since Beta 1.2, Minecraft has had charcoal! Charcoal is now my favorite item in the game.

25% off Minecraft Beta

Minecraft

Minecraft beta is out now and Notch is currently offering his beauty of a game up for 25% off what the retail price will be when version 1 is released. I got my copy in Alpha, which was even cheaper if you can believe that. If you are into sandbox games, like to build stuff, or kill monsters, this game is for you.

The game is a bit addicting if you like to build stuff, as you basically have an endless supply of building materials once you get going. You will find yourself wanting to recreate many things you have always wanted to build. I started out first by building a castle. I used to love the old RTS castle games, so why not build my own castle in Minecraft to keep out the monsters.

Changing up the Format
Posted Monday, March 14, 2011 - 14:14 by thor

It seems that Google no longer likes the old format of the site I had going, so I am changing it up again. Right now I am not sure what the format is going to be, but RSS fed content seems to be something that Google is ignoring at this point. That doesn't help pay the domain registration or server bill at all. This site stays online because I can usually get enough money with the ads to pay for everything associated with it. Hopefully by changing the format to have more custom content we will see a jump in traffic again.

Cheers,

Z

Finally Added Back the World of Warcraft Videos Section

I know it has been a while, but I finally had some time to put the World of Warcraft videos section back together. I thought I would get around to putting back together the screenshot gallery first, but I had a few ideas that I wanted to try out right away and it just turned out that way. You can add your favorite WoW videos from YouTube and several other popular video hosting services, just by copying their URL into the specified field for embedded video.

Just a heads up gang
Posted Saturday, December 26, 2009 - 21:41 by thor

For those of you who are wondering what is going on here, I decided to update the site's software version to Drupal 6, and I wasn't able to do just a simple upgrade. I had to start from scratch with that version, so everyone will have to re-register to the site. Sorry for the slight inconvenience, but the site is up to date now and we can have many cool new features on the site. I haven't had the time to try and migrate the old users table from the old site to the new database, so this is the easiest alternative. Some progress has been made so far on the new site revamp. I started by adding back the THOR Forums. I have also added some recent WoW related content from some of the top sites RSS feeds. More features will be added soon like the gallery and much more. Peace, Z

Forums are Back
Posted Friday, December 18, 2009 - 00:30 by thor

I figured since the forums were the most active section of the site to begin with, I would add this section back first. I didn't go through the hassle of bringing back all the old posts, but many were very old without any action anyway.

Site Revamp
Posted Thursday, December 17, 2009 - 01:37 by thor

Hey all,

If you haven't noticed, I have decided to revamp the site. Since I haven't been in game, and the site is in a weak state, I thought it was a good idea. It will be less guild centric, and more general WoW & MMO community centric. I will be recreating the forums for old members, and there will also be many other sections for adding content. Make sure to check back soon as things will be much different. There will be a much better addons section that will allow you to add your favorite addons or vote down old ones that are aren't good anymore. Stay tuned for the relaunch :)

The Hammer of Resistance guild was started by family and friends to enjoy MMO games together and help each other out in August 2003 in Star Wars Galaxies on the Bria Server. THOR still carries the ideals of having fun and helping each other out. You may find some of us still on the Windrunner Realm in World of Warcraft, or possibly SWTOR when it is released.

While the guild is not really active in any games currently, we do cover tons of MMO gaming news including World of Warcraft news from some of the top sources. We still have our forum active for old THOR members to keep in touch and I have also added a new section for World of Warcraft guides. I will soon be adding back the screenshots gallery, but it will include options for more MMO games.
