New Trailer for Elder Scrolls Online. Not a whole lot of info yet on specifics of how everything will work. But it looks like a cross between Skyrim and Dark Age Of Camelot. I will post more as more  is released.

Elite = Bad Attitude Let me explain. If you become elite in a game the you have spent countless hours playing it. They have become masters. They are playing at a high level and have since long stopped playing with "noobs". so what is the result? well when they do play with someone who maybe is new or possibly just a bad player they tend to really react negatively. Not many games have very upbeat positive and helpful. Too many times I play a game for the first time. Being that it is my first time I am very bad at it. instead of tips and help i get nothing but flak in the worst kind of manner. I think this is the biggest turn off for many people when entering in Multi player games. Too many good games have been ruined for me by bad communities.

          Where is the innovation? Well if you spend ten million dollars on a video game on all the bells and whistles would you want that large project be a groundbreaking gamble on a new idea?

So maybe better utilizati...

The biggest book release for me in my life. The conclusion to the Wheel of Time series. Robert Jordan passed form this earth too soon. He will be missed. I stumbled upon his series by chance and it changed my life. When I was hitting those rough early teen years I was at a crossroads in my life. I could go any direction in life. I wasn't yet sure who I wanted to be or what I wanted to do. Video games were a very minor hobby. I was into sports, i wanted to play music. But basically i didn't know what I wanted. Then I stumbled upon Eye of The World. The first book in the series. I have been lost in fantasy worlds ever since. It has taken close to eleven years of reading and waiting. A Memory of Light was a great book. The series came to a conclusion. Here is why I felt let down.One it was apparent that the new author that had taken over the series after Jordan's death had a huge amount of creative control over this book. Even though Sanderson is a g...
