John Carter Review
"... JOHN CARTER--unlike Its Printed Predecessor--will Not Stand The Test Of Time, But For A Simple, Slightly Forgettable Two Hours Of Blue-plasma Spilling, Alien-beheading, High-jumping Chaos, It Gets The Job Done..."
March 7th, 2012
Poor, Mr. Carter. . . Just about everyone seems to hate him. On Earth, Indians give chase, the early-American law wants him jailed, the drunkards want him beaten to a pulp and even his dead wife won't get off his back. So what's a guy to do? Well, if he happens upon a bald guy in the middle of a cave--take his shiny amulet and warp the hell outta there! And in turn, become hunted and hated on a new planet! What a deal!
Based upon the novel "A PRINCESS OF MARS" by Edgar Rice Burrows, JOHN CARTER follows the reluctant heroism of a man named (wait for it!) John Carter, who discovers himself transported to a distant red planet after activating a shiny azure amulet. Once adjusted to the change in gravity, the newfound power at his disposal and the four-armed aliens now hunting him, John comes to realize he ain't in Kansas anymore (or is that Virginia?) Now, with a horde of monstrous creations behind him, a warring nation in front of him and an all-seeing, all-knowing race trying to track his every move, Carter must become a savior. . . Even if he really doesn't want to.
I gotta say, I was actually surprised with this one. While I was right to raise my brow at the casting choice in ol' Mr. Carter, Disney nonetheless managed to deliver an entertaining foray into science-fiction devoid of the typical childish and immature markings of such a studio empire. That's not to say it's not flawed, just nowhere near the travesty it could have been.
Unlike a recent film I attended which shall go unnamed. . . Ah, what the hell, THE LORAX (it was terrible), one of the key aspects of John Carter that stuck out like a blood-coated sword through the back of a White-Ape was the voice acting. Whenever I come upon an animated film, I prefer to enter the experience completely naïve as to the actors involved. I enjoy trying to decipher the flesh behind the pixels without the bias of celebrity status. Here, I contained no foreknowledge of the actors involved with ADR and am all the happier for it. Willem Dafoe is exceptional as the four-armed leader Tars Tarkas and even Thomas Hayden Church is rock solid as his malicious brother-in-arms, Tal Hajus. Such voices commanded attention and offered all the more personality to the computer-animated creatures they supported. When watching, I came to a point in which I forgot about the aliens merely being catalysts for voice-actors, but observed them as actual living, breathing characters. Not only was this due to the verbal excellence, but the generated effects as well. The movements, skin texture, muscle contortion--fantastic. Outside of the disposable 3D conversion, the visual and audible aspects were married in a chapel of proper cohesion.
Where JOHN CARTER falters, however, is in narrative stereotypes and a rather annoying lead. The film holds to clichés as if they're going out of style, resulting in a storyline which is as predictable as it is eye-rollingly melodramatic and cheesy. Taylor Kitsch's's portrayal of John Carter is also an obnoxious cross of FUTURAMA's Zapp Brannigan (but played seriously) with that of an interplanetary Clint Eastwood. Nearly every line of his dialogue is delivered in a forcefully "I-play-by-no-one's-rules-but-my-own" kind of way, and his face rarely contorts into anything other than a frustrated, "who farted" expression. Really, I felt the most human of characters to be that of the inhuman kind.
Moreover, the entire experience feels a bit forgettable once the curtains have been drawn over the silver screen. While it is entertaining at points, a majority of its set-pieces feel too familiar and lacking in ingenuity. Along with this, certain emotional sequences seem to lack, well, emotion. Since Taylor Kitsch isn't able to display proper sadness (c'mon, bud, tear-up or something!) rendering certain portions of catharsis nearly useless. The storyline might call for stronger drama--especially given its flashbacks and a cool, but empty (and oddly placed) scene of one man dueling dozens of beasts, but John Carter is apparently unable to bend his emotions from forced an un-entitled sense of bad-assery--at all. So, if he doesn't seem to care, why should we?
In the recent decade, Disney's track record has been incredibly lacking in anything that would be deemed "a classic". In fact, without the defense of Pixar's brilliance, Disney might have fallen to the wolves long ago. With JOHN CARTER, the studio seems to be recalling directorial and visual stylings of yore in order to make a film which might actually appeal more to adults and teens than children. As far as science fiction goes, JOHN CARTER--unlike its printed predecessor--will not stand the test of time, but for a simple, slightly forgettable two hours of blue-plasma spilling, alien-beheading, high-jumping chaos, it gets the job done.

Haha, you noticed! Actually, both. Found it a bit too deserving a flick for three stars, but still, not a a bad film, just kind of... Average. Or "worthy" as our rating system describes.

@bryanyentz Rating change, eh? Sleep on it or see it again?
Thanks again, man! Haha, glad I could lower your reluctance... Just a little.

@bryanyentz -- Yet another amazing review, sir. I'm not interested in this movie, at all. But, after reading your review, I'm somewhat less reluctant on viewing it.
Thanks, man! Let me know what you think. As I stated, i was quite surprised with this one (and yeah, saw it on IMAX too).
Thanks, man! And again, let me know what you think!
I'm right there with you. I think Disney might be turning a tide with this one, but from what I've witnessed thus far, the crowds are digging it. So maybe--just maybe--Disney might continue with this vein of filmmaking and commit to a few more projects like this one.
- mattbierwagen • 4 years ago
@bryanyentz awesome review, love your opening paragraph. Still looking forward to this.
- corey • 4 years ago
@bryanyentz Great stuff. I have such high hopes for this one. I really hope IMAX can boost it up for me.
Thanks, man!

Toronto Zoo : Michelin's recommendations
Opened in 1974, this world-class zoological park features a remarkable variety of wildlife on 287ha/710 acres of tableland and forest. The 5,000 animals are divided into six "zoogeographic" regions: Africa, Australasia, Eurasia, the Americas, Indo-Malaisie and Canada. Among the 450 species represented are numerous endangered or rare animals such as the Siberian tiger, the snow leopard, the Malayan tapir, the pygmy hippopotamus and the Indian rhinoceros. Designed by Raymond Moriyama, harmoniously integrated glass and wood pavilions provide shelter for animals unadapted to Canada's climate. The popular Africa Pavilion, abundant with tropical vegetation and exotic birds, is home to lowland gorillas and other primates. Nearby resides Canada's largest herd of African elephants. The smaller Indo-Malayan and the Americas pavilions should not be overlooked. The Edge of Night exhibit (in the Australasia Pavilion) provides a journey into a nocturnal world inhabited by seldom-seen species like the Tasmanian devil. Rides and special activities for kids are available.

"(His writings were) first hand, non-fiction accounts and interviews of the occupation of Japan, and history of Vietnam, the history of the Korea war, and other biographical and U.S. military history books. (His best known work) is the 'The Honorable Conquerors' and it is also the most referenced book about the occupation of Japan."

Death Risk Doubles for Women Under 85% Average Fitness for Age
Aug. 3, 2005 -- A new tool tells women and men how fit they are -- and how that affects their risk of death.
The tool is a simple-looking chart. It lets you see how your personal fitness level matches up with the fitness of other people your age. You may be seeing it soon in your doctor's office -- and in your gym.
To use the chart, you have to know how much exercise you're able to do. This can be learned in a gym, using a treadmill or other device that gives readings in units called METs. It can also be done in a doctor's office equipped with a stress testing device. Seeing a doctor is a good idea for anyone not already exercising regularly.
Fitness charts have long been available for men. Before now, nobody had ever collected the data needed for a women's fitness chart. That's changed, thanks to the nearly 6,000 Chicago-area women who underwent exercise stress tests as part of the St. James Women Take Heart Project. Rush University researcher Martha Gulati, MD, led the team that analyzed the data.
Fitness Breeds Longer Life
"Having a good fitness level for one's age predicts better survival," Gulati tells WebMD. "If you are below the fitness level for your age, you are more likely to die."
Indeed, Gulati finds that women double their risk of death if they can't exercise at 85% of the level normal for their age.
Gulati's study appears in the Aug. 4 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine. Accompanying the paper is an editorial co-authored by Duke University researcher Pamela S. Douglas, MD. Douglas is the president of the American College of Cardiology.
"We doctors usually look at electrocardiograms [EKGs] and other tests to see heart trouble -- but it turns out how long you can exercise is almost as important," Douglas tells WebMD. "If you are well, how long you can exercise is more important than any other variable in determining how long you live."
Exercise Prescriptions
The women Gulati and colleagues studied had no obvious symptoms of heart disease. But like many U.S. women, they weren't exactly healthy. The study measured fitness in terms of METs -- metabolic equivalents -- which provide a measurement of the amount of oxygen a person can breathe at a given workload.

Thanks but I tried this and no longer am able to open my files. It suggests I copy them and reformat the drive. My LaCie external HD does not mount unless I restart. It shows my files, but I am unable to open them. Could it be a power cord? I've seen some mention HD not mounting because of power cord problems. I don't know how to copy the files from the external HD to a new HD if it's the problem with the whole HD.

Taylor Road interchange closure sparks community debate
By: Jon Brines, Placer Herald Correspondent
Area business owners and citizens voiced concerns over a transportation proposal to eliminate the Interstate 80/Taylor Road interchange. During a hearing last Wednesday at the Placer County Transportation Planning Agency, the Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce President Franklin Burris told board members Taylor Road needs to stick around. "We do have a lot of concern and opposition to any closure to the Taylor Road and how it impacts traffic at the Rocklin Road interchange and Stanford Ranch/Highway 65 interchange," Burris said. Controversy erupted after a Caltrans study recommended eliminating the I-80 Taylor Road off ramp to allow room for a proposed $280 million connector improvement project. The project, in its early stages, would also widen the East Roseville Viaduct to add high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes and a three-lane flyover connector between I-80 and Highway 65. Cattlemens Restaurant has sat on Taylor Road at the top of the I-80 off ramp since 1975, but changes to the freeway interchanges have hurt their business. "When Caltrans closed the westbound exit to Taylor Road in the 80s, it impacted our business for years," said Cattlemens CEO Wayne Holloway. "It confused people and they made the decision to go elsewhere." Candy Stephenson's family has owned property along Taylor Road since 1947 and said how construction crews operate has always been a concern for her. "They tend to notify you too late to do anything about it," Stephenson said. Stephenson said she's ready to sell the property and move on. Celia McAdam, the executive director of the PCTPA, told board members the controversy could sabotage the project. "The reality is controversial projects don't tend to get funded," McAdam said. "No matter how you slice it, this is going to be an expensive project. If there is not a consensus locally as well as with the feds and the state, this project is not likely to move forward." Rocklin City Council member Kathy Lund said the public needs to be involved before it's too late. "If you don't voice your concerns upfront, sometimes the decisions are made and they're hard to unmake," Lund said. The board voted to move forward with an environmental impact study which could take two years to complete before any decision would be made about Taylor Road. "We've gotten the message loud and clear, there is a lot of concern about the Taylor Road closure," McAdam said. "We're going to start the public process and it is going to take a long time." Transportation officials are planning a series of public workshops slated for the fall.

Models wearing S/S14 Lee Cooper during the fashion presentation
25 Jul. 2013
Lee Cooper celebrates new Campaign and Collection
Denim brand Lee Cooper has launched its latest campaign and Spring/Summer 2014 collection during a summer garden party at The Grove resort in Hertfordshire outside of London last week.
The event was attended by the brand's 46 global licensees and selected press representatives and was held in a quintessential British style in tune with the S/S14 design direction, which cites the traditional British summer fair as its key influence. A sunny meadow featuring red and white striped stalls and colourful bunting set the scene for the event, which encouraged guests to get 'hands on' with craftsmanship through a series of informal workshops including leather work, bunting making and block stamp printing.
The attendants were encouraged to take part in some crafting activities
For the S/S14 campaign, Lee Cooper again focuses on its The Makers concept, where the stories of different creative talents (many of them from Lee Cooper's home ground of East London) are told in a subtext with the clothing these makers wear. A selection of current and past Lee Cooper Makers were present at the summer garden party.
The highlight of the relaxed evening was the alternative fashion presentation of Lee Cooper's S/S14 collections which was introduced by Seth Horowitz, President of the men's division at Iconix Brands Group. Live music by seven piece folk-rock collective Flight Brigade provided the soundtrack as 16 models dressed head to toe in Lee Cooper emerged one by one from the distance to join them on stage.
Lee Cooper's CEO Andy Dunkley said of the event: "We always like to give our partners from around the world a special event that also reflects our fantastic heritage. Having a festival in the meadow of our hotel was the perfect way to have a great time and launch our collection at an event that will have a long lasting impression on all of those who were involved."
Lee Cooper is today sold in over 90 countries worldwide via a global network of licensees.

Wind-Powered Memorial Park Envisioned For Turkey
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On July 19, 2010 @ 1:00 am In Architecture,Green Building | No Comments
We fell in love with this beautiful concept for a memorial park in Turkey and were very excited to see a number of small-scale wind turbines incorporated into the lawn of the rolling green space. Designed by Turkish firm 1/1 Architecture [2], the "Murat Gunduz July 2nd Canlar Memorial Park" won 2nd prize in a national design competition. Compared to the 1st prize winner [3], we definitely prefer 1/1 Architecture's concept, especially considering their inclusion of wind energy [4] and their ecologically-sound design for the monument square.
The national design competition was held to find a plan for the Murat Gunduz – July 2nd Canlar Memorial Park in Sivas, Turkey. The design is focused around a central monument-square, which is made up of a series of curvilinear walls with water fountains. Writing on the walls memorializes those who lost their lives during the Sivas Massacre [6] in 1993. The Memorial Park will also serve as a culture and arts center.
Around the monument square are native gardens, hybrid energy modules (small-scale wind turbines [7]), an easel installation with an outdoor workshop, observation terraces, and activity meadows for cultural activities. The center, which is conceived in response to the tragic events seen as major assault on free speech and human rights in Turkey, is also centered around ecological and sustainable design [8].

Tuesday, May 29, 2007 (Washington, DC) – Acknowledging President Bush's ratcheting-up of American sanctions against Sudan for its genocidal role in Darfur, Africa Action still stresses that this escalation does not go nearly far enough. In the last days of the U.S. presidency of the United Nations (UN) Security Council, and on the International Day of UN Peacekeepers, Africa Action points out that that civilians in Darfur continue to be threatened by violence and urgently require the protection afforded by a UN peacekeeping mission.
Last week, the Security Council set forth a plan detailing the proposed deployment of an African Union (AU)-UN hybrid force of 23,000 personnel, and today, President Bush announced the implementation of augmented economic sanctions against Sudan. As these developments emerge, the organization emphasized that the U.S. must engage a full range of diplomatic options to move towards immediate deployment.
Nii Akuetteh, Executive Director of Africa Action, said today, "The U.S. has only days before its presidency of the Security Council ends. President Bush's tightened sanctions come late in the game. On this Day of UN Peacekeepers, we are reminded of the pressing need for UN peacekeepers in Darfur. The president must take other actions, and economic sanctions are but one tool. We must couple sanctions with wide-ranging diplomacy to ensure Sudan's acceptance of the full peacekeeping mission. The U.S. must now work in concert with its international partners to make sure that a strong and effective force actually deploys."
May 29th was established as the Day of UN Peacekeepers to honor those who serve in UN peacekeeping operations and the stability that their service engenders. Yet, despite the recent stated agreement by the Sudanese government to allow the entry of 3,000 peacekeepers, this deployment has been held up, and reports indicate that only 44 UN military officials have been sent to Darfur. At this rate, the agreed-upon deployment will take months to complete, according to an AU official. Africa Action stressed that this process must be expedited.
Africa Action also emphasized that Sudan has not agreed to the deployment of the completed peacekeeping force, described in the Security Council's new plan, and that the delays in securing and deploying a full peacekeeping mission to Darfur wreak devastating consequences on the ground.
Africa Action continues to work with groups around the country in planning "Sprints for Darfur," events designed to highlight the need for protection and security on the ground. More information about this project can be found here: http://www.sprintfordarfur.com/
To demonstrate activists' concern over the genocide in Darfur, Africa Action encourages individuals and groups to participate in its ongoing campaign to collect banners with red handprints. These banners symbolize the large U.S. constituency pushing for the deployment of a protection force for Darfur and will be delivered to key decision-makers. More information can be found here: http://www.africaaction.org/campaign_new/docs/bannerflyer.pdf.

Even we had to admit, it was a pretty funny performance. Last week, one of the BEAST interns, Luke Fox, was thrown out of Kahunaville by stage impressario Tom Sartori after he told the artist: "Hey, Tom! You suck!" Sartori's response on stage was classic. "How come there's always some dipshit who hates me who stands up at the front?" When Luke handed him a business card and asked for an autograph, Sartori crumpled the card, made a jerking-off motion with it, tossed it back at him, and then waved. "Bye," he said, smiling. Next thing you know, two security goons with secret-service-style radio sets in their ears were escorting Fox out of the building. You had to give the guy his due; he knows how to keep people from fucking with his act.
That said, we don't want to be nasty about this, but we decided to do a little something for Tom. No pressure, mind you, just a flat-out statement of fact: we've bought Buffalo's best solo performer (two years running) a one-way bus ticket to Fort Wayne, Indiana, by way of Toledo. And what we're saying is, Tom, if you want it, it's right here in the office, and you can pick it up anytime. If you don't, that's cool, we understand. But if you change your mind, it'll be here. And BEAST readers take note: if you see Tom, please pass along this news, since we're guessing he doesn't read this paper. But please don't say it in a mean way. We don't want him to get the wrong idea.

VP nominee: America needs a turnaround and Romney is man who will get it done
TAMPA, Fla. Seizing the Republican National Convention spotlight, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan welcomed "the calling of my generation" to help lead the country in tough times Wednesday night and pledged that Mitt Romney will not duck the difficult decisions needed to repair the economy if he gains the White House this fall.
"After four years of getting the runaround, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney," the 42-year-old Wisconsin lawmaker told cheering delegates in a packed hall and a prime-time television audience at home.
"We will not duck the tough issues; we will lead," Ryan said, adding that President Barack Obama and the Democrats "have run out of ideas. Their moment came and went. Fear and division are all they've got left."
Ryan pledged Republicans would save Medicare from looming bankruptcy, despite accusations from Democrats that the GOP approach would shred the program that provides health care to more than 30 million seniors.
"Our nation needs this debate. We want this debate. We will win this debate," Ryan declared. But he offered no details of the remedy Republicans would propose.
Romney accused Obama of backing "reckless defense cuts" amounting to $1 trillion. Addressing the American Legion in Indianapolis, he said, 'There are plenty of places to cut in a federal budget that now totals over $3 trillion. But defense is not one of them."
Inside the convention hall, delegates cheered a parade of party leaders past, present and — possibly — future.
The presidents Bush, George H.W., elected in 1988, and his son, George W., winner in 2000 and 2004, were featured in an evocative video. Arizona Sen. John McCain, the party's 2008 nominee, spoke on his 76th birthday and said he wished he'd been there under different circumstances. And an array of ambitious younger elected officials preceded Ryan to the podium, Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and John Thune of South Dakota among them.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice praised the Republican ticket in a speech that made no overt mention of Obama. "Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will rebuild us at home and inspire us to lead abroad. They will provide an answer to the question, 'Where does America stand?'"
Ryan said he was accepting "the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us."
He added, "The present administration has made its choices. And Mitt Romney and I have made ours: Before the math and the momentum overwhelm us all, we are going to solve this nation's economic problems.
"And I'm going to level with you: We don't have much time."
As he spoke a pair of electronic boards tallied the nation's growing national debt, approaching $16 trillion overall and more than $5 billion since the convention opened.
Ryan's vice presidential acceptance speech marked a prime-time national debut by a relatively young lawmaker lauded by fellow Republicans for his understanding of the complexities of the nation's budget.
Romney tapped Ryan this month as his running mate, a selection that cheered conservatives who have doubted the presidential candidate's commitment to their cause.
If Ryan's selection was designed in part to appeal to conservatives, the convention was scripted to strengthen the ticket's appeals among women, Hispanics and others who prefer Obama over the Republicans, as well as veterans who supported McCain in 2008.
Romney delivers his own nationally televised acceptance speech tonight in the final act at his own convention. The political attention then shifts to the Democrats, who open their convention on Tuesday to nominate Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for a second term.

I don't recall hearing her name, or rumors of a relationship. Who is she? Are there any photos?
I haven't read the book yet, and am just going on news reports -- but this struck me as something truly new.
There is a thread from 2007 here, if you search her name. It seems she may be a web designer, originally from Iran but living in Los Angeles for a number of years. I haven't read his autobiography yet but it seems from an excerpt I read (in the Daily Mail - shame!) that the relationship is ongoing? He speaks of them having "an uncluttered commitment" with each other. But then someone posted on the front page of this web site that Moz's current partner is a woman from Bulgaria.
What, does he only go out with exotic women? Hmph.
I am Mars_Rover but my computer - or some dark force in the universe - is not letting me log in. It's been awhile since I visited - hello to some old friends whose names I recognize. I went off Moz when he made those unfortunate remarks about the massacre in Norway.
But then this book has brought his name to the fore again and... I seem to be drawn in again. Ah, human weakness. Can we never rise above its lowly pull?
Here is the thread you mentioned.
Google can help you! I've spied her on Instagram.
Can't help you there, the only Tinas I know being Arena and Turner.
All I can deduce is, here's a woman with a fondness for internet trolls. Turns a blind eye whenever her Man checks dubious websites to get his fix! Admirable. Never a trace of jealousy. A strong woman, no doubt. Here's to you Titine! At least you're not Bulgarian, otherwise we'd be dead already...
Who wins the Massive Red Herring Award then?
Well, ...Little Nancy of course!

So does anyone have any pictures of Tina or the Bulgarian woman?
I Googled her name and a website offered the following for $39.95 -
Statewide Criminal Check
Address History
Relatives & Roommates
Home Value & Details
Neighborhood Info
Satellite & Map Images
Alias Names
Much more...
Is this usual in North America? In the UK this information is confidential under the Data Protection Act for privacy. Maybe it's advertising bravado to some extent?
I don't know whether the reports of a current Bulgarian girlfriend are true, but he definitely isn't with Tina anymore if what he's written in his book is anything to go by.
He never mentions a break-up, but later on in the book, he briefly describes a relationship with a younger Italian man in Rome, with whom he goes looking to buy a house. Morrissey refers to him as "Gelato," though I doubt this is his real name.
Damon is a Bulgarian woman?
I've never heard of her before. The passage where he talks about her is very tender and he says he was happy with her. He makes her sound like a saint. He list her in the acknowledgement to.

He doesn't say they have broken up. Although he says he spent his forties with her (which suggest not his fifties?) In fact he refereed to her as a "lifetime constant" and she gets a dedication at the end of the book. It is a bit strange that she doesn't get mentioned much after her introduction. Is it too much to assume that "I will see you in far off places" is about her?
Does anyone remember the time he said his "ambition is to play in Iran"?
They have broken up because he mentions 'Gelato' in Rome but he says she is a 'constant'. Perhaps he just loves ice cream. For a man who doesn't enjoy being spurned by others he's managed to remain good friends with his exes. Jake seems to be the one he talks about most tenderly yet he doesn't thank him in the end even after half a dozen songs about the man.

|Geo-Terraforming Vessel
|United Federation of Planets
|Active (2355)
The USS Strata was a Federation geo-terraforming starship that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-24th century. Strata was under the command of Captain Jason Stone. Doctor Martin Rackham was the starship's Chief Medical Officer. The Strata was the first assignment of the then Ensign Chu'lak in 2355. (DS9: "Field of Fire")
The Strata was only briefly seen in a computer display, and wasn't mentioned in dialog. The name is perhaps an in-joke reference to the Terry Pratchett novel of the same name, which was also concerned with geo-terraforming (of a sort).

Elder Scrolls Online Story "100% Solo," Says Firor
The Elder Scrolls Online will be designed to make each player the hero of the overall story.
In a video interview with Game Informer, The Elder Scrolls Online game director Matt Firor said that the main storyline will be 100-percent solo. After all, in the Elder Scrolls universe, the player is always the hero whether he/she wants to be or not. That's not going to change for the MMOG.
"You go out there and you kill the dragons," he describes. "You kill Mehrunes Dagon in Oblivion. In Morrowind, you're up there fighting the Tribunal - those are huge, global, epic things that you don't want to stand in line to do in an MMO. The last thing you want to do is have the final confrontation with Mehrunes Dagon as he's stomping across the Imperial City, and you see like 15 guys behind you waiting to kill him because they're on the same quest."
The team of 250 at Zenimax Online wants the player to feel awesome, that he or she is the hero. "We do that through a mix of technology, where when I am confronting a major foe in the game, I'm doing it in an instance where I am alone," he added. "And we have a whole part of the game that is 100 per cent solo," he said, "which is the main story, where the world focuses on you - you are the hero, everything you do is solo and the world reacts to you that way."
Fans of the franchise have criticized the team for straying away from the "dirty realism" seen with the single-player chapters, to a cleaner, cartoon-exaggerated design. Firor welcomes the criticism, stating that a healthy community is one that's passionate about what a developer is creating. These are the people he wants playing in the MMO because they'll have the most invested on a personal level.
Firor knows all about the MMO community. He helmed the production of Mythic's Dark Age of Camelot MMO which launched back in 2001 as an answer to EverQuest.
"Having been in MMOs for a very long time, I know and understand that community very well," he said. "And that is a very vocal community - a lot of the time vocal critics of what you're doing. But those people who take the time to pick your game apart, and sometimes they tell you things that you didn't know was wrong with the game - those are the people you want playing your game, because they're the people most invested in your game, because they care enough about it to complain."
"The worst situation for a game community to be in is where no one posts on the boards because they don't care," he added.

0MajinCry , 20 May 2012 08:28I can see why they are doing this, but this just screams "Laaaaaaaaaame".
"The last thing you want to do is have the final confrontation with Mehrunes Dagon as he's stomping across the Imperial City, and you see like 15 guys behind you waiting to kill him because they're on the same quest."
Right. Those 15 guys behind you should be helping you take down ol' Meh-Gon with you.
Crummy response to a mediocre set back of MMOs.
013thmonkey , 20 May 2012 16:37Also you then have to ask the question if one of you can take down a dragon, if you get to wander around in a group (its an MMO) then nothing should be able to stand in your way, so how are they going to generate the challenge?
0MajinCry , 20 May 2012 16:44Dagon babies!
0contrasia , 21 May 2012 18:14Sounds like a FFXIV like approach, in that for main storyline bits you enter an instance (A small mini area that's cut-off from the rest of the gaming community until the scene/battle is over). However in that you can optionally invite people to join you for some of them, and there are larger dungeon style battles that require more people to help.
Seriously, what is it with MMORPG designers these days that have to make the graphics WoW cartoon style? Diablo 3 was bad enough, now it's being done to Elder Scrolls too? I know WoW was successful and everything, but do we really need every MMORPG being released looking exactly the same?! >_
0Steveymoo , 21 May 2012 19:06So, if you can't quest together, why are you selling this game as an MMO? Why should anyone have to pay a monthly subscription, for what is essentially, a single player RPG? They appear to have completely missed the mark here. MMO's are fast turning into an equivalent 3D fad for films, a method of charging a premium for your favourite franchise, which people will just gobble up without question.
