And I am not sure what world you are living in if you think you can do current heroic dungeons without a tank. Maybe if you outlevel them, but nobody is going to clear even the 5 month old heroics we have now without being in a tank spec and healing spec. It maybe doable with a group with a lot of Blood dks, but it certainly wouldn´t be faster.
As far as PVP and Questing... wow, good thing we have duel specs, huh? But even then, questing in tank specs is actually faster for some people, I know a lot of people prefer Blood or Bear for instance.
And your last comment is a joke about UO and EVE.. UO and EVE really have no group content, and certainly no ´boss´ fights. But again, that really is what it comes down to. If you want vibrant and interesting boss fights, you need the trinity. If all you want is diablo-style dungeons, you don´t need it. Two completely different gamestyles, take what you like and play it, one is not right or wrong. I personally prefer having the memorable, and very different boss fights.

Darkfall. In that game you used to be able to be Master of All. It was considered boring as everyone could do everything, hence why they are rehauling it now.
AC 1 had a better approach. There you had a set number of skill points and you could then build whatever character you wanted but since there was a limit on skill points, you could not be Master of All.
So it has been done but for some reason class based MMO's are dominating and have been since the rise of EQ 1. Probably such a system is much easier for the devs. to balance.

I found his comment funny also. I played UO back on a 28.8k modem. Mobs either had AI where they would chase the person who hit them last, so two ranged classes could play ´monkey in the middle´ with mob or else the mob always chased the person who hit them first, which meant everyone stood in the middle while one person ran in a big circle around them.

i dont want trinity back. But of course what GW2 did can always be improved upon without forcing trinity on classes.
Im currently playing Tera and i havent given up on their heavy trinity because i love the graphics (not enough to stay long here) so im playing some pve only content here as strictly dps for a while. I cant really stand heavy trinity imposed to players anymore.
Whatever class i choose, i want to be able to hybridize it or i wont last long in that game.

I think the problem with this comes into the precision that is required for delicate balancing. In WOW for instance, people get in an uproar over a perceived 5% difference in classes.
WOW kinda tried your approach with tanks early on. For instance, Bear tanks had a lot more health, but didn´t have as good of avoidance or any blocking at all. Warrior tanks were the kings of single target tanking, and pallies were better at fights with a large number of mobs.
What happens is if you have content that only requires 5 or 10 players... those differences get magnified so much that nobody wants to group with the ´single mob tank´ in a dungeon with a lot of AOE fights. This happened in a very drastic way at the end of BC in WOW. Nobody wanted to dungeons with anyone but Pally tanks. Likewise, Bear tanks were not wanted on fights were healer mana was an issue because having more HPs and less avoidance meant they would need more healing.
It is one of the problems that faces WOW today. The game is so tightly analyzed and theorycrafted that even a 5% diffference means your spec doesn´t get brought to raids. Newer games, and games with less focus on endgame group content don´t have the same problems.
Again, your idea will work ( every class having tank and healing specs) or even everyone being able to a little of everything. But with that system you will never have very precise encounters.. and once your game gets big, and the theorycrafters come out in force, even then you are going to have a ton of ´non-viable´ specs. A lot of games, including GW2 have avoided this just by not having really challenging endgame content that requires precision.

UO had a nice system, you had dozens of possible skills you could raise to 100, but only 700 points total. But what happened is the devs kinda merged skills together so that like 500 or even 600 skillpoints had to be used in harmony or you were severly gimped. You took Magery to cast spells, then you had to take meditation to regain mana, then you had to take Evaluate magic to make your spells hit hard, then you had to take wrestling or else you were interrupted all the time. (can´t remember precisely, it has been a long long time).
So at the end of the day you had warrior, mage, tamer, bard.. each with a few skillpoints left over to dable in something else.

I think we need to get out of the WoW mindset.
Leveling, there have been games where just being dps didn't cut it in difficult dungoens. Since Lineage 2 is my largest experience I'll use that.
leveling, Areas like Forge of the gods and AoE groups in one of the temples definitley gave good xp and rewards but required tanks and healers. The issue in that game was that buffers were more like batteries than someone an actual player wanted to play. I also recall some of my best duos/ttrios requing a healer/recharger to keep the party gowing. Allowing for DD's and healers to be extra squishy did help in this regard.
quest: don't care about wow and quests are usually things that require one player. There were quests in Lineage 2 (the game had few quests) that required a group. you just had to have one. Especially for the class quests as there were tough bosses involved. But I'm not partial to games that have ridiculous quests sending you to kill 10 of someting. I'd rather just hang out in the area and kill mobs.
pvp - again, I suppose we have to get out of the wow mindset. In Aion and Tera a tank can tank players. They can draw the player to them. I recall fighting a tank as a Sorcerer in Aion and accidentally allowed him to get close enough to draw me in. I went down pretty quickly.
Dungeon - just make it so that good gear is only part of the equation. Just because "other" games allow for good gear to win the day doesn't mean all games have to have that. I will say that I'm more partial to these new skill based games where one can take on harder dungeons with a more diverse group but having a tank or healer can help.
And again you use WoW. I think if developers move away from "WoW" and create encounters where players can have different types of groups but where having a healer or tank makes things easier, it could be more interesting.
As I've said, I'm for a "soft" trinity. Allowing for players to embody different classes/playstyles but allow for a bit more diversity.
Who is to say the Tank has to do "no" damage? Maybe the tank does slower damage but takes larger chunks? Maybe magic users do incredible damage but are so squishy that one bad pull not noticing an enemy until it's too late brings them down quickly.
Of course, I will concede that "most" players will choose the path of least resistance and will try to avoid areas where they have be skillful or that might need great players or at least a good comination to succeed.
Once I quit being a noob and started getting support skills and traits in GW2 I was ok without the trinity.
Sorry for ignoring 13 pages of arguments and back and forth flaming
GW2 didnt do anything groundbreaking or uique. It simply removed a role and distributed that role amongst all the other classes.
Had they invented a new system with new mechanics..yeah groundbreaking.
The OP makes it sound like ANET did somthing totally unique and worth our support...when all the did was hit the delete button on a role. This is why gameplay was so...stale...in GW2...everyone just DPSing.
In this sense...yes the trinity works best. They still used the trinity system, they just deleted a role out of the three...which is why people felt it was lacking.
I would much rather prefer the full trinity than a gimped trinity system in a game still built around killing, managing aggro, and staying alive. Nothing works better than a tank, a healer, and dps in a game build around this.
Im still shocked people call what GW2 did as anything innovative or groundbreaking...its just public quests on a trigger rather than static...and instance pvp/pve...same old game.

I like the "no trinity"-approach.
But i think GW2 doesnt even do it remotely right. I prefer the old trinity, but supported by a gigaton of classes (EQ2) every day.
I also think that the trinity isn't the problem with today's games, but the way homogenisation hit it.

I like the hybrid system and I always aimed for a hybrid build in every mmorpg I've played so far...
I just don't like to be limited in playing just this 1 role which doesn't offer me the ability to sustain myself on life or it does but at the price of my dps drop... or vice versa, I can heal but I can not do damage because I won't be able to heal everyone properly thus I'll increase my chances of wiping the group. I just think those days are now over for me and if the game won't offer atleast some kind of a hybrid solution - I won't even bother trying now...
GW2 does have some issues with it's model and it could use few tweaks to tune it up just right, but when I look at the whole picture I do like it and it's really something new and it works pretty well. The only thing is that you really have to know what you're doing (and everyone in your party) so you can succeed in what you're doing at that moment, the game does not forgive and it punishes hard for every mistake you make in dungeons or fights and I think that's the way it should be in every game.

there's a thematic appeal to classes and people like being able to complement other roles in the group. without the trinity, you either end up assigning duties anyway or you participate in disorganized combat. jack-of-all-trade characters make sense in single-player games, not in 3d mmos.

Well it really just feels like it needs a midterm... but I definately prefer trinity over non-trinity, it's just too chaotic & messy with non-trinity, sure it may look fun at start, but after a while it gets annoying, I like a bit of organization, so i'll take Trinity anytime.

yea that's what i mean you need to be good and know the dungeon to run glass cannon.. unlike many other MMOs with the holy trinity i could go in full dps no cares whatsoever on the first couple dungeons but in GW2 you can get 1 shotted left and right even in the very first dungeon

Make worlds not stories
Can't vote on that, it is too narrowminded.
Do I want roles ? yeah that is what makes people work together.
Do I like the term holy trinity ? no that is a simplistic view on the issue.
Does the roles have to set based on classes ? No way, your role should be based on playstyle and choices, and possibly soft so you can switch between roles.
Roleless is not a mmorpg, it is just a battle ground. Teamplay is all about dedicating and specializing your character to a "role" while others have other roles, thereby making the team better than if everyone is just a .. to put it in holy trio mindset, a dps class.
You can have roles that are not included in the holy trinity standard view, we just havent seen much of it for many years, Everquest has some examples but let the mind wander. Multiple roles are also overlooked in most games, and additive roles where two of same role type can add their powers together.

I have read this whole post and it makes me laugh so many of you say you like the trinty but yet you dont play games with it you jump on one game that tryed to break from the normal trinty and add something new. Thats why most dont like GW2 is its different to a point that most only go one way and thats DPS and thats not totaly true I run a mesmer that is support/control and a little DPS but I mostly run support/control with them I do this on most of my characters cause it works for me. On my engineer I run a dps/support role and dont die hardly at all. On my Guardian I run a control/dps roles and almost never die and thats cause I set may traits and stats to fit my play style instead of following the FOTM which is a cheap way for players to try to be the best.
I think that most games that offer a simular set up where you can make you character to your liking through stats and traits or whatever the company wants to name them it makes the character more unique and not just a cookie cutter set-up like most players want you to be and this has been this way in almost every mmo sense EQ and even happened in UO alot and I never follow that play style cause I preffer different and then companys changed the stats to meet the class and took away alot of uniqueness from players and now we have the FOTM built in to our characters so much to most thats the normal and its not for me.
I stick to GW2 because I can be different then the same class I am grouped with and to this day I have only met one other mesmer that plays simular to me and thats felt odd. Just because in EQ my wife played a cleric that out tanked almost all tanks we grouped with or out healed most clerics does not mean she was playing wrong she was playing how she liked to play and just because I could tank and heal with a bard in EQ did not mean I played wrong its how I set my toon up for my playstyle. Even in WoW my NIghtelf Prist with mace and shield stood in the fight with my wifes pally because I made my toon that way to do that untill they changed it then we quit. I have done the same in almost every mmo I have played and makes me enjoy GW2 even more and cant wait for more games to come out that let you creat your character as you play and not force you into a certain play style.

Eight Great Gretsch Album Covers
Posted: August 17, 2012
Gretsch guitars are fabulous-looking instruments. Always have been. So it's no surprise that they often made their way onto the album covers of those who played them and put them to such great use. Here then, in no particular chronological order, are eight fine album covers notable for being graced with great Gretsch guitars:
1. A Session With Chet Atkins (Chet Atkins, 1961)
There are only about a bazillion Chet Atkins albums that feature a Gretsch guitar on the cover, usually in the hands of the master himself, and all of them look fabulous. So this one is kind of a tough call.
After much consideration, we're going with the 1961 re-issue of 1954's A Session With Chet Atkins because it must be the Gretsch-iest original-era album cover ever. The 1954 original cover somewhat somberly pictured Atkins himself, and while the '61 re-issue cover doesn't, what it does picture is three—count 'em, three—Gretsch guitars: a Tennessean, a Duo Jet and a 6120; the latter locked in the joyous embrace of a sultry brunette. Come to think of it, 1955's Chet Atkins in Three Dimensions also has three Gretsch guitars on the cover, but since none of them are locked in the joyous embrace of a sultry brunette, A Session With Chet Atkins gets the nod here.

Judy Wesley, a retired educator from South Carolina who chaired the five-person review team from AdvanceED that spent three days observing classes on all eight Jones County campuses and meeting with more than 175 people here, told Jones County Board of Education members and school administrators that the visit had felt like "Christmas in March" for the team.
"We've never been treated this royally," she said, and the Jones County system is "the best I've seen since I started doing these reviews several years ago."
Jones County School Superintendent William Mathews said it was gratifying to have outside observers validate the work of those in the system to provide a quality education for the county's students.
"Our students, teachers, administrators, board and parents have worked very hard for this, so it feels good when someone tells you that we're the best they've seen," Mathews said. "It's like someone bragging on your children. But we also know we have to keep working to not only stay where we are, but keep improving."

Whoever robbed Janet Wolf's hotel room did his work discreetly.
When Wolf returned to the Hyatt in Houston's Galleria district last September and found her Toshiba laptop stolen, there was no sign of a forced door or a picked lock. Suspicions about the housekeeping staff were soon ruled out, too—-Wolf says the hotel management used a device to read the memory of the keycard lock and told her that none of the maids' keys had been used while she was away.
With the mystery unexplained, the Hyatt tried to give its guests a sense of security by posting a guard in its lobby. But Wolf couldn't shake the notion that a thief could re-enter her room at any time. "I had dreams about it for many nights," says Wolf, a 66-year-old Dell IT services consultant traveling in Houston for business. "I'd wake up and think I saw someone standing there at my desk."
Two days after the break-in, a letter from hotel management confirmed the answer: The room's lock hadn't been picked, and hadn't been opened with any key. Instead, it had been hacked with a digital tool that effortlessly triggered its opening mechanism in seconds. The burglary, one of a string of similar thefts that hit the Hyatt in September, was a real-world case of a theoretical intrusion technique researchers had warned about months earlier—one that may still be effective on hundreds of thousands or millions of locks protecting hotel rooms around the world.
Last month Houston police arrested 27-year-old Matthew Allen Cook and charged him with theft in a September 7th break-in at the Hyatt House Galleria. Police also listed Cook as a suspect in the theft from Wolf's room four days later and that of another guest at the hotel. Cook, who has a prior history of arrests for thefts and burglary, was identified when an HP laptop stolen from one of the hotel rooms was found in a local pawn shop, where staff helped police to identify him.
A Houston police spokesperson offered no information about how Cook might have accessed the rooms he allegedly looted. But White Lodging, the Hyatt franchisee that manages the Houston hotel, believes that the rooms were opened using a device that takes advantage of a glaring security vulnerability in keycard locks built by the lock company Onity, specifically a model of lock that appears in at least four million hotel rooms worldwide.
That security flaw was first publicly demonstrated by Cody Brocious, a 24-year-old software developer for Mozilla, at the Black Hat hacker conference in July. Brocious reverse-engineered Onity's locks and discovered he could spoof the "portable programmer" device meant to be used for designating master keys and opening locks whose batteries had died.
On stage at Black Hat, Brocious showed it was possible to insert the plug of a small device he built with less than $50 in parts into the port at the bottom of any Onity keycard lock, read the digital key that provides access to the opening mechanism of the lock, and open it instantaneously.
In a statement sent to me, a White Lodging spokesperson says the company became aware of the vulnerability in its Onity locks in August, based on reading one of the stories I wrote about Brocious's lock-hacking technique over the summer. But White Lodging says Onity only implemented a fix for that flaw in its locks after the September break-ins at the Houston Hyatt, around two months after I first alerted Onity to Brocious's work.
Following those September incidents, White Lodging resorted to plugging the port at the bottom of its Onity locks with "epoxy putty," according to the letter it sent to guests at its Houston location. The hotel company says it's now working with Onity to put a more permanent solution in place, either plugging the locks' ports or replacing their circuit board at every location it manages. "We sincerely regret that these thefts occurred, and hope that measures we have taken satisfy your concerns," reads the letter to guests from White Lodging vice president Thomas Riegelman.
But even Onity's official response, late as it may be, has left something to be desired. Rather than pay for the full fix itself, which requires a new circuit board for every affected lock, Onity has asked its hotel customers to cover the cost of those hardware replacements. Its free alternative involves merely blocking the port on the bottom of the lock instead with a plastic plug and changing the screws on the locks to a more obscure model to make it harder to open the locks' cases and remove the plugs.
Forcing the customer to pay for anything beyond a band-aid-style fix may mean the flaw will remain unpatched in many cases, warns Brocious. "Given that it won't be a low cost endeavour, it's not hard to imagine that many hotels will choose not to properly fix the issues, leaving customers in danger," he wrote in a blog post in August. "If such a significant issue were to exist in a car, customers would likely expect a complete recall at the expense of the manufacturer…I can't help but feel that Onity has the same responsibility to their customers, and to customers staying in hotels protected by Onity locks."
Meanwhile, the Houston Hyatt may not be the only site hit with the Onity hack. An alert published by the insurance firm Petra Risk Solutions in October claimed that "several" hotels in Texas have had their locks opened with Brocious' technique. Todd Seiders, a former Marriott security director who now works as director of risk management at Petra, says he spoke with the general manager of one of those hotels, who knew of at least three Texas hotels affected in total, though Seiders declined to name them.
It's not clear if suspects have been arrested in those cases. In a phone interview, Cook's lawyer Charles Thompson declined to speak about the case or make Cook available for comment. "We will vigorously defend these charges, and all the facts will be available after the trial," Thompson said.
When I first wrote about Brocious's technique in July, his lock-hacking tool seemed to be unreliable: In tests we conducted at three New York hotels, he was only able to open one out of three rooms, and only after a few minutes of tweaking his device.
But after his Black Hat talk, Brocious's work was soon refined by other hackers and researchers, who ironed out the bugs in his exploit and posted YouTube videos of the devices reliably opening hotel doors. One managed to fit the lock-hacking tool into an iPhone case. Another team of researchers squeezed it into the body of an inconspicuous dry-erase marker.
As the technique spreads, hotels with Onity locks need to either shell out for Onity's circuit board fix or at least block access to their locks' ports, says Todd Seiders of Petra Risk Solutions–he estimates that more than 80% of his customers have implemented a fix since August, but says that many more hotels around the world may not have been so careful.
"We're expecting incidents in which these devices are used to explode nationally," says Seiders. "As crooks find success with it, they're going to go back to the Internet and say 'hey, it works. I was able to break into ten rooms.' And then others build it and try it. We're going to get hit hard over the next year."
All of which raises the question of whether Brocious should have ever brought his findings to light. Brocious, after all, didn't alert Onity to its security flaw before his presentation at Black Hat (though I did) and even licensed his technique for $20,000 to the Locksmith Training Institute, which trains law enforcement and others, more than a year before he made it public.
Brocious has countered that Onity's security bug is so simple it may have already been discovered by other hackers who used it in secret. And he says hotels needed to be made aware of the locks' flaws so they could switch to a more secure model. "I see no path to mitigate this from Onity's side," he told me in July. "Hotels need to come up with a plan to move to more secure locks."
As for Janet Wolf, an actual victim of the Houston hotel thefts, she blames the Hyatt, not Onity. "If they're vulnerable to these hackers and they knew this was a problem, to me that's their fault," she says.
And would she rather that Onity's security flaw had never been publicized in the first place?
"No," she says. "It should be made public so that the hotels can fix it. If people are vulnerable and there's a fix out there, they need to know."
Correction: A previous version of this story misstated Janet Wolf's age. She's 66 years old.

After watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLp0ykvotEI I am very impressed. Its kinda like daoc each faction has their own zone, then in the center is cyrodil. The combat seems nice, I just hope they add some kind of advancement system to thge pvp like daoc had. Watch the video, if you have not seen it, it has alot of info.
When I first heard about ESO I figured it'd just be ESO the wow game, but as the alpha shows this can only get better.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
Either way, you can't lose! Try it out sometime!

Each faction is limited to a relatively small area, less than a WoW single continent. It's not an open world for PVE exploration, and it's also not an open world for PVP.
The combat looks really bad (ref trailers, small clips where fight occurs from the frontside, not the backside). Just avatars swinging weapons at each other lifelessly, with a huge amount of particle effects to make the encounter look lively. People who know games look past the particle effects.
Going into TES first person mode won't even show weapons or swings or anything (Zenimax statement) .. you just stand there and watch others hit you while you graphically-less do damage.
But by all means, advertise away!

Yes there is faction lock - which is GOOD.
Now where does it say that areas are "less than wow single continent" - cyrodiil alone is 1:1 to oblivion - are you crazy?
And please show us the footage of the game cause we only have alphas and specially that first person mode you talk about.
Why do people talk about stuff they know nothing about?
now regarding that video, op... you can become a vampire or a werewolf as a "perk". Theres a newer video around that they say you can.
And dont listen to haters... these guys destroy any good community and bring out the worse in you - yes TESO hopefully will be a great great mmo from what the devs have shown and told so far.

Watch the trailers man. Lame footage when it comes to combat. I showed the trailer to my buddies and we all agree combat was pretty freakin lame. Frontal combat scenes were shown in 2 spots in the last 9 minute trailer. Beyond that it was always from the backside, with huge whooptie-doo particle effects to make the scene look interesting.
We rewound and looked at the short clips with frontal combat, and we all agreed that it looked pretty stupid. There wasn't much animation, just WoW style fighting, swing clubs - hit or miss, still graphically the same.

Now... I dont know where you're trying to get with the first question: Cyrodiil is 1:1 to oblivion's cyrodiil. Its a fact. But... what "magically smaller"? Skyrim is smaller than cyrodiil... Morrowind is roughly the same size of cyrodiil... elsweyr is smaller,... whats your point? Its not smaller... Its the same size it has always been in any elder scrolls map... bigger than some, same size as some... hope your not talking about the "blur map" with the arrows pointing inside. That would be just ridiculous to point out as a "TESO MAP" lol... thats called a "diagram".
I havent seen any footage of first person.
Considering all you've seen was alpha... I dont think you should make any assumptions regarding animations. What you thought the full animations were done, perfected and polished in an alpha stage? lol... really? Listen theres also this guy with a crooked neck in the "invasion" part of the trailer just before they take the wall down and charge in... and... you think that crooked neck is staying there? Thats it? That is the final product?
I wonder what games have you all been playing cause this alpha looks better than released games out there.
And btw... if theres one thing well done in wow is the fluid animations. Either actions or simple idle, the wow characters are pretty fluid - actually thats pretty much the only good part of wow for me - animations are well done and some are even pretty gracious considering that female characters there have the hands with the elegance of a 2 meter tall farmer.

I'd say, no Oblivion isn't. Maps of size show otherwise, as you have seen already.
It's more like Cyrodiil is about 1/3 the size of a WoW continent. If you don't like seeing facts, then stop bringing it up.
So, Cyrodiil can hold 2000 players? Mmm Hmm ...
Oblivion is NOT half the size of a WoW continent. Devs stated TESO was a 1:1 comparison to Oblivion.

If you didn't bother to watch the trailer in which I commented on, what qualifies you to defend this game?
Watch the trailer. Look for those parts. Imagining them up just to defend about how the game is in alpha is hardly worthy of a comment. Please, know what you are talking about. If you are talking about 1st person gaming, there will be no weapon animations (ie zoomed in). Zenimax statement, do you really need footage for that? lol <stare at a mob and watch hps go down>

Just another comment on this matter. This is the map for TESO.
Show me Where faction land masses are massively bigger than Cyrodiil? One is, obviously, as you mentioned, but the others? Hmm .. and considering Cyrodiil is 1/3 the size of a WoW continent .. maybe 1/2 if you take error into account.
That doesn't say very much for each factions explorable region. Each faction gets to explore 1/3 to 1/2 of a WoW continent before they hit artificial barriers? In MMORPG's, that is really flippin small.

The errors I've seen wasnt errors, its an alpha and yes, contrary to what you think, that actually matters. They release something for us that for them is actually outdated.
Or show me that video you're talking about.
As for first person... well... http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/news/post/2012/10/24/dive-into-the-eso-preview-event-coverage says it has it... and... I didnt see any statement from zenimax saying your weapon will not show up...
On the official forums it says that the devs are working on making weapons visible...
Are you on an alternate universe? Or me...?
Seriously... your info has NOTHING to do with mine.

I see a few people here and there (not the majority for sure) saying faction locks is a good thing.
Exactly how...? This is the worst idea i've heard in a long time. I am still somewhat interested in the game, but don't make this out to be some genius development plan when it's just something that limits the player in a game series that is traditionally all about NOT limiting the player. It's pure fail.

Well if you need me to hold you to show you exactly the parts of the trailer, I can. But please, let down you fanboism ..I showed the trailer to Skyrim fans and even they picked out the cruddy combat.
You won't see weapons in 1st person mode. That statement was already made by Zenimax.
OK, so you want proof to compensate for your disconnect with releases and the press. Stay on this thread, I'll post them.

After seeing that Just Cause 2 map (recommended you play it just for seeing that map) and knowing it was done with Procedural Generation I wonder if they used any in ESO or if it's all done by hand? Would be cool to know how they are making the world. I wonder how close they are making the provinces from the previous games?

Ohh thats right you have none, your purely speculating to advance your own personal agenda. The zones are the same size as the single player games which are relatively big. Plus each faction has 3 zones to explore so your automatically incorrect. On a related note it isnt even the size that matters its the content thats in it. Everyone thats ever played a bethesda game knows the zones are chalk full of explorable nooks and crannys. Cant go 2 mins in skyrim without having 3-4 POI's on your compass to explore and god knows in a year and a half of me playing there has been alot of replayability due to the sheer amount of explorable content.

A prominent plastic surgeon meets the woman of his dreams only to find their future thrown into jeopardy when his playboy past comes back to haunt him. Danny (Adam Sandler) has a unique approach to picking up women — in order to break the ice and gain their sympathy, he pretends to be stuck in an unhappy marriage. The instant he brandishes his wedding ring, the deal is all but cinched. But when Danny finally meets a woman (Brooklyn Decker) that he really would want to marry, he abandons his usual approach for something a bit more subtle. Incredibly, it works. But when she discovers the wedding band that he used to use as a pick-up prop, Danny attempts to cover his tracks by falling back on his tried-and-true divorce line. Unfortunately for Danny, the plan backfires when his new girlfriend asks to meet his future ex. Desperate, Danny recruits his office manager, Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), to validate his ruse by posing as his current wife. Before long, the lies are snowballing, and by the time Katherine's kids get involved and everyone comes together for a trip to Hawaii, it's not a matter of if Danny's plan will fall through, but when.

You are definitely not an outcast, and I can't imagine you have offended anyone by having a differing opinion. We are ALL entitled to our own views here.
As for remaking the movie, all I can say is NO!!
This is one of my favourite movies, I believe all the actors portrayed their chosen characters excellently. No movie is ever going to mirror the novel exactly, yet this is by far one of the best adaptations of an Uncle Steve novel IMO.

Hi all,
I am currently recovering from the D and C I had done yesterday. I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks. So far recovery is pretty easy and I'm not having to take the pain meds that were prescribed.
The tissue was sent to the pathologist for chromosome testing.
So...now we wait the 1 to 2 months before we start trying again. I know some doctors say to wait 2 cycles, but my feeling is that I'll start trying again after next period.
The good news is that we conceived pretty quickly after I stopped the pill (end of June).

A crazy baby momma called police to report that her child called her in a panic because his daddy was arguing with his girlfriend and he was scared.
Police went to the daddy's residence. The daddy and his girlfriend denied having any argument - verbal or otherwise.
Police then asked if they could take a look at the boy's cell phone. Both the father and the girlfriend agreed with no hesitation. There was no information on the son's call log to indicate that he ever called his mother.
They then woke the boy up and asked him if he called his mother. He said he had been asleep for over two hours. He also denied hearing his daddy and girlfriend argue. Since there was no evidence that a disturbance occurred the case was unfounded.

MIAMI, Fla. – Chattanooga junior Melissa Green (Boca Raton, Fla.) was named to the Florida International Invitational All-Tournament Team Sunday afternoon despite a 3-0 loss to South Dakota State.
The defensive specialist recorded a team-high 21 digs in the final match of the weekend. Green recorded one point and was credited with five assists against the Jackrabbits.
The Mocs fell 25-17 in the first set of the match, representing the largest deficit Chattanooga fell to on the final day of the tournament. UTC recorded 11 kills in the frame but improved on its total with 12 kills in the second set. The Mocs lost in the second with a much closer score of 25-21.
Chattanooga freshman Allie Davenport (Tyrone, Ga.) led UTC with 13 kills in the match, including two in the second set. Sophomore Briana Reid (Houston, Texas) finished second on the day with 10 kills along with four kills in the second set of the match.
The Mocs dropped the third and final frame of the match 25-20 despite a fury of points to mount a near-comeback. UTC put up 12 of the last 20 points scored in the frame, but a 17-8 hole at the start of the rally ended the Mocs' run in the FIU Invitational with three losses.
Davenport ended the day with 13.0 points while Reid ended with 12.0. Reid along with sophomore Lauren Gainer (Boca Raton, Fla.) and junior Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) each collected 2 blocks. Freshman Anne Bachmann (Lincoln, Neb.) steered the offense with 25 assists.
The Mocs return to action Tuesday night at Maclellan Gym as the Scenic City hosts UAB at 7 p.m. Live stats and live video feeds are available via MocsVision.

Actors Collaborative to stage 'Doubt, A Parable' April 25Written by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
Actors Collaborative Toledo will present "Doubt, A Parable" in an unconventional way on April 25.
Local talent will present the play, written by John Patrick Shanley, in a stage-reading format. The actors will have scripts in hand when exploring the characters of the drama. There will be a brief discussion following the production.
The evening will feature locals Barbara Barkan, Elizabeth Cottle, Heather Dassouki and Matthew Kizaur.
The script follows Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal who becomes involved when she suspects Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students, according to a news release.
Director F. Scott Regan said it was the "intense" script that caught his eye when suggesting ideas for the stage reading.
"It's a very intellectual intensity," Regan said. "With the Actors Collaborative, they like to choose pieces that provide significant challenges for the actors in the community that maybe wouldn't be commercially viable in a larger theater."
Regan added that he enjoys the many issues it touches on. He said the script is "multilayered." Regan quotes Jude 1:22, which states to "be merciful to those who doubt," as well as the current pope, Pope Francis, who said if people do not doubt, they don't have a deep faith.
"On a spiritual basis, I think the play makes that suggestion," Regan said.
The production will be at Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams St., at 8 p.m. April 25. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door.

Christine (Ashford) Ives,81, born December 9, 1930 in Antlers to Sam and Ethel (Sexton) Ashford, passed from this life on September 18, 2012. Christine was born, lived and educated in Antlers until 1947 when she moved to OKC with her parents. She proudly graduated from Central High School OKC (Class of '49). After attending Draughon's business school she was employed by the Veterans Administration and at Tinker AFB. She (and husband Charley) retired from federal civil service at 35 years. She worked as a clerk, secretary and computer operation in Tinker Data Services. Christine never met a "stranger", her quirky smile and friendly demeanor, outgoing personality and wit drew people to her; she dearly loved to travel and was always ready to shop; enjoyed all forms of sewing/quilting/ needlework; genealogy research, and participated in all types of community service and volunteered at hospital auxiliary, election and housing authority. She was a friend to many people and loved to help whenever/however she could, driving to doctor appointments, church, grocery, etc. Declining health and distance necessitated her return to OKC and she lived with her daughter in Choctaw. However, her fervent desire was to return to Antlers and spend her remaining days among the peace and tranquility of Pushmataha County. Christine was preceded in death by her parents Sam and Ethel Ashford, husband Charles (41 years) of Antlers, beloved son Larry, and grandson Joshua; brothers Walter and Logan Ashford and sister Lenora Bell. Survivors include her daughter Linda (Ives) Bias of Choctaw; grand daughter Crista of Dallas, TX. ; two great-grandsons Steven Picco and Robert Hudson of Duncan; sisters Myrtle Edmond of Antlers and Sammie Moser & husband Wesley of Choctaw and numerous nephews/nieces and friends. Memorial services will be held Sept 22, 2012 at 2 PM, at the Mills-Coffey Funeral Home, 715 East Main, Antlers with burial at Antlers City Cemetery; visitation at Mills-Coffey on 21 Sep 2012 at 6PM. In lieu of flowers, donations to one of the following Goodland Academy, Pushmataha County Historical Society, Hospital Auxiliary, OMRF or your favorite charity in her memory would be appreciated.

A Summerville woman committed suicide Tuesday by laying on railroad tracks between Cypress Street and Aulds Lane and waiting for a train.
Joyce Lillian Brook, 54 years old, was killed around 12:30 p.m.
She had been staying a few blocks away from the tracks in Brownsville, apparently with a woman who took her in "out of the goodness of her heart."
Neighbor Richard Elliott, Jr., said he often saw her around the neighborhood, reading and smoking cigarettes.
He and his wife would invite her in to meals, and he gave her a jacket last week when he saw her outside in the heavy rain.
She was apparently wearing the jacket when she died.
Elliott said she was from Pennsylvania, and he thought she had stayed for a time at the Palmetto House.
"She was a nice lady," he said.
Brook was apparently on and off the tracks throughout the morning. Summerville Police officers responded to a call about 9:40 a.m. about a woman on the tracks.
They met her a block away from the tracks, spoke to her and released her, Capt. Jon Rogers said.
Rogers didn't confirm whether it was the same woman.
An autopsy was planned for Wednesday.
Elliott said a Brownsville church planned a service for Brook this week.

Louisville took second place, while the top spot went to the New England town of Sharon which is a half-hour train ride away from Boston. In previous years, Louisville has topped the list.
Reasons for Louisville's repeat appearance include its housing market rise, proximity to Boulder and Denver, as well as its well-regarded schools and safe community.

Following UFC 158, Nick Diaz up for shots at middleweight, lightweight titles | News
"If I had that option available to me, I would be honored to be in that position, and I would be gratefully accepting of that position or fight, if you will, with the 185-pound champion or the 155-pound champion," Diaz said. "I would take either fight, and I think I could beat either guy to win a title at both weights.
"I'd like to be runner-up in the pound-for-pound rankings. That's the No. 1 goal, aside from the No. 1 ranking in the welterweight division."
While Diaz has often talked about a potential move up to 185 pounds, especially if it involved a potential bout with top pound-for-pound fighter and the long-reigning middleweight champ Anderson Silva. However, today call was the first time he mentioned a possible drop to lightweight to challenge for that title, as well.
The move wouldn't be entirely unprecedented. In the past, Diaz competed for the now-defunct PRIDE and EliteXC organizations. However, those promotions set the lightweight limit at 161 and 160 pounds, respectively. The UFC's lightweight limit is 155 pounds.
Still, Diaz said he's interested in fighting the very best fighters in the world, regardless of weight class.
Of course, he'll have exactly that in front of him at next week's "UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz" event, where Diaz (26-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) meets UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (23-2 MMA, 18-2 UFC), widely considered one of the sport's top three fighters. St-Pierre has held the UFC's welterweight title since 2008, and he currently boasts six straight title defenses, more than any welterweight champion in UFC history.
In short, St-Pierre is not the type of opponent to look past. But Diaz said that's simply the way he approaches his career. Sure, he's focused on the task at hand, but there are other challenges ahead. Such is the way of a top martial artist.
"Me and Georges St-Pierre, we're a lot different," Diaz said. "For me, I look past every opponent because I'm not looking at just one obstacle. I think for me, it's easier to deal with when I accept the fact that I'm never going to get out of this. It's not just a fight, it's fighters.
"I look past every opponent to get to the No. 1 spot of the welterweight division, and I look further beyond that. If it were up to me, I would take that fight with Anderson Silva. I would say, 'Yeah, of course.' I'm looking for the next best thing, and the next best thing is always the closer fight to the No. 1 fight, and that's what I've been working toward this whole time."
Cesar Gracie: No Way Dana Lost $50K On Botched Video Shoots With Nick and Nate
UFC 158 press call: Nick Diaz rips Georges St. Pierre
Nick Diaz: Everyone knows who I am. It's embarrassing not being in control of looking the way you look or coming off the way you want to come off. I'm happy for it when I'm ready for it. My life's a mess. I'm not afraid to admit it. I work hard regardless through this shit. I don't have people handing me water bottles left and right. I have to do that shit on my own and every day I know that I'm doing it on my own and that's why I know I've got to do it that much harder. I don't have people taking care of my money and my financial obligations what have you. All that stuff that people say is important, fuck that. I'm too busy fighting your fights. This new martial arts works for them when it comes to everybody wantitng to be like GSP and want to be strong and have that fitness and be more explosive and quicker. It's really not what martial arts is about. This is mixed martial arts and that' swhat fans want to see. I've lost a shit load of fights but I'm still here. People want to see real boxing, real traditional jiu-jitsu mixed up. They don't want to see five minutes of holding. I think people should be point deducted for it or running away. You should have to punch me out to beat me. People should be able to see that a little better. Maybe one day.
I hope so, if I had that much money I'd be pampered the fuck up. There's be people showing up every hour to pamper me the fuck out. Mother fucker I'm not stupid. I can tell what's what.
Georges St. Pierre: Uneducated fool. Listen to me. You sound pretty smart right now. I'm not always been like this. I've not always been rich. I started form the bottom. I worked really hard to be where I am right now. I know you don't believe this because you didn't succeed yet and maybe you didn't succeed I your life because I don't think you're smart enough to understand to reach this point. When you talk about people doing things for me, you need people to work for you to get the money rolling.
And this incredible exchange:
Georges St. Pierre: If you are where you are right now and I am where I am, it's not my fault that you didn't succeed.
Nick Diaz: I was never putting any blame and pointing fingers at you that it's your fault. Your'e the one rapping about being pampered or not. You don't what it means.
Georges St. Pierre: I speak English better than you man.
Nick Diaz: You're out of line straight up. You understand that righ? Your'e rapping that bullshit and you're out of line. I didn't say shit.
Nick Diaz: I deserve to get beat down, that's what you said right? Honestly, I don't think you deserve to get beat down. I don't' want anybody to get beat down. I'd like to win the fight. You know me real well. You know I deserve to get beat down.
Georges St. Pierre: Do you seriously believe I'm afraid of you, man?
Nick Diaz: I believe you believed what you said to the cameras that I deserved to get beat down. You're making those statements to the whole world that I'm a piece of shit that deserves to get beat down and you let Dana say I'm the most disrespectful person you've ever met. I pulled up to a stoplight yesterday and some soccer mom sticks her head out the window and says "I hope GSP beats your ass" I live in a small town full of people that hate me over here. I'm trying to work my way up into a fight. When you say something, everyone believes it. Everyone wants to know what Georges thinks, forget jiu-jitsu, forget boxing, throw a super man punch like Georges. Whatever. That's disrespectful right there. If you want disrespect, that's disrespect right there. That's all I get. That's all I do.
Georges St. Pierre: Listen to yourself Nick.
Nick Diaz: I'm this crazy mother fucker. You know where I'm coming from. You're not stupid. You understand every word I'm saying right now. Drop it. I don't deserve to be beat down. You think you're gonna fucking win for whatever fucking reason and that's that. You're number one, you're the best right? I'm the most mother fucking piece of shit out there. That's not the reason why you're fighting. Maybe that's the reason the fans want this fight. I'm the right guy.
Georges St. Pierre: Yes you are, you're the right guy.

How to Make a Fruit Shrub Syrup
Have you ever sipped a shrub? Not a bush, but a fruit syrup, preserved with vinegar and mixed with water or alcohol to make a tangy, refreshing beverage. An old-fashioned favorite, shrubs have steadily made a comeback, especially on cocktail menus, but they aren't solely the province of mixologists. Making a shrub syrup at home is a fun way to preserve and play with seasonal fruit, and this template may be followed for practically any fruit you have on hand. In addition to drinks, you can use the brightly flavored syrup in salad dressings, as a glaze for meats, or add a splash to homemade jam.
The word "shrub" is derived from the Arabic sharbah, which means "a drink." "Sherbet" and "syrup" also come from this Arabic root. Although drinking vinegars aren't so common today, they have a long history stretching back to the Babylonians, who added date vinegar to water to make it safe to drink, and the Romans, who mixed vinegar and water to make a beverage called posca. Colonial-era sailors carried shrubs, rich with Vitamin C, aboard their boats to prevent scurvy. Shrubs also gained popularity during the Temperance movement and many 19th and early 20th century housekeeping manuals contain recipes for them.
Although there are several different methods for making shrubs, the most common process involves creating a fruit-flavored vinegar and sweetening it with sugar. The acetic acid in vinegar acts as a preserving agent, so shrubs were – and still are – a delicious way to enjoy seasonal fruit juices year-round. I love experimenting with different combinations of fruit and vinegar to make these flavorful syrups.
Because vinegar is high in acid, it does not support the growth of the bacteria that produces botulism. However, some vinegars may support the growth of other harmful bacteria, so cleanliness and proper storage is important. There are faster, easier shrub instructions out there, but I believe this one to be more reliable in terms of rich flavor and long-term keeping.
What You Need
Basic formula: Use 2 cups fruit per 1 pint vinegar. Sweeten with 1 1/2 to 2 cups sugar (level of sweetness is up to personal preference).
Fruit: Berries are perhaps the finest fruit for shrubs, but cherries, peaches, plums, pears, and other fruits may be used. They should be ripe and sweet, yet they do not need to be perfect; this is a great opportunity to use farmers' market "seconds" and any fruit that is abundantly in season. Fruit should be thoroughly washed and may be peeled, chopped, or lightly crushed to shorten the infusing process. Ginger, citrus peel, or even peppercorns may also be added for flavor.
Vinegar: Any vinegar may be used, as long as it is labeled at least 5% acidity. Distilled white vinegar has a clear, sharp flavor; apple cider vinegar tends to be milder with a fruity flavor; and wine vinegars, while more expensive, often provide a superior smooth flavor. Balsamic vinegar is delicious with cherries and strawberries.
Sugar: White granulated sugar provides a neutral sweetness; brown and raw sugars may also be used.
Clean hands and tools are a must!
Glass container with a lid or cap (a quart mason jar works well)
Deep pot
Measuring cups (liquid and dry)
Funnels (useful, but not required)
Food thermometer
Clean kitchen cloth or paper towel
Fine cheesecloth or coffee filter
1. Sterilize the container: Wash the container in hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Submerge in a pot of warm water to cover by 1 to 2 inches, bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes. For the lid or cap, wash it in hot, soapy water, rinse well, and scald in boiling water.
2. Add the fruit: Carefully remove the container from the pot using canning jar lifters or tongs. Place the fruit in the container.
3. Add the vinegar: Place the vinegar in a saucepan and heat to just below the boiling point, or at least 190°F. Pour the vinegar over the fruit, leaving at least 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rim with a clean, damp cloth, and cap tightly.
4. Let it stand: Let the container cool undisturbed and then store it in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard or the refrigerator. Let it stand at least 24 hours and up to 4 weeks until the desired flavor is reached.
5. Strain it: Strain it through a damp cheesecloth or coffee filter one or more times until the vinegar shows no cloudiness. Discard the fruit or save it for another purpose (it's often delicious for use in chutneys).
6. Add the sugar: Place the vinegar and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and let cool. Pour into a clean, sterilized container (use the original mason jar or other bottles; see step 1 for sterilization procedure) and cap tightly.
7. Store: Store the shrub syrup in the refrigerator. Tightly sealed, it may last for up to 6 months. Taste before using to make sure the flavor is still good. Discard immediately if it has mold or any signs of fermentation such as bubbling, cloudiness, or sliminess.
8. Serve: To serve, mix 1 tablespoon shrub syrup into a glass of still or sparkling water. Taste and add more syrup, if desired. Shrub syrups may also be used as cocktail mixers, in salad dressings, and more.

Not for the busty girsl
I know that sheath dresses can be tight on top but usually if I order up a size I am pleased with the fit. I ordered up a size with this dress and still can't get it over my bust. If I ordered up any larger it would be gigantic everywhere else. Bummed out but it's being returned.

Christy Martin, Female Boxing Legend -- Shot, Stabbed, Hospitalized
Reported by TMZ:
Female boxing legend Christy Martin -- who graced the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1996 -- is recovering after being shot AND stabbed yesterday ... and cops believe the attacker is her husband.
Cops in Orange County, Florida claim the 42-year-old former boxing champion -- who once fought on an undercard for Mike Tyson -- managed to stumble out of her home and flag down a passing motorist ... who took Christy to a local hospital.
Christy -- despite being SHOT AND STABBED -- mustered up enough strength to tell police that the man who pulled the trigger was her 66-year-old husband and boxing trainer James Martin.
Cops are currently on the hunt for Martin.
TMZ spoke with Don King -- Christy's former promoter -- who tells us, "I am shocked and saddened to see this happen to Christie. I send my prayers and well wishes."

Cops: Christy Martin's Husband Stabs Himself
11/30/2010 2:50 PM PST by TMZ Staff
Christy Martin's husband -- who allegedly shot and stabbed the former female boxing champ last week -- was arrested today after allegedly stabbing himself behind his home.
Cops in Apopka, Florida claim they got a tip about James Martin's whereabouts earlier today -- so they sent a K-9 unit and a helicopter into the area to track the guy down.
Officials say they found the 66-year-old in the woods behind his home, wielding a knife -- and suffering from what appeared to be a self inflicted stab wound.
Initially, Martin refused to surrender -- but after a brief stand off with police, he eventually gave up and turned himself in.
Christy is still recovering from last week's attack -- but according to her rep, the injuries "are not life-threatening."

Christy Martin was a bit overblown as far as her boxing career, but I hope she recovers and is alright after this crap."

Christy Martin: Husband Shot Me over Lesbian Affair
World champion female boxer Christy Martin told cops her husband shot and stabbed her last week after she told him she was ending their relationship for another woman.
According to the Sheriff's report, Christy told officers she had been staying in a hotel for a few days before the incident ... and had gone home to tell her husband James Martin that she was leaving him for a woman named Sherry.
Christy told officers ... "James was very upset about this and has been threatening to ruin Christy's career and name for a long time." Christy claims James had also threatened to release "incriminating videos of her over YouTube."
Christy claims James shot and stabbed her after she broke the news -- but she managed to escape and flag down help.
Christy is still recovering from her wounds.
