There is more than 300 years experience behind today's modern Frosts factory. Frosts Knivfabrik was started more than 100 years ago by Erik Frost, an experienced knifesmith in the village of Ostnor outside of Mora, Sweden. His "Mora knives" were soon widely acclaimed not only throughout Sweden but also abroad. Success was quickly gained through their superior and outstanding sharpness and toughness. Fourth generation knifesmiths carry on the traditions in a modern factory situated on the same site as the original from 1891.

I really do think if Rousey went for broke on a takedown, and landed it immediately, she'd take Floyd's arm home with her. I'm not even kidding. You have to give him zero grappling credit. If they fought an mma fight Rousey would win a few, maybe more than a few depending on the success rate of the takedown. Obviously the male boxing champ wins every time he is able to land a punch before she takes him down. It's not a matter of her striking or his grappling because they are worlds apart, it comes down to a punch versus a shot, and the shot wins sometimes.

I have only read the last page and don't know how this came about but it is entirely possible that rousey clinches and trips then arm bars him before he lands a ko shot. With a gi on it would be even more plausible.

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Maverick Men
We love making videos of all the hot, fun times we have together, fucking sexperts, each other, and deflowering virgins.
Hey Guys ! So what can I say about this guy Wade"WOW" comes to mind. I mean I fucking loved doing this video with him because he was a chill butch little cowboy, but I especially loved RE-living it as I edited it. I was dripping pre-cum the entire time. I swear; its that hot. The shining reason that this video is so so so hot is because we had just the right amount of sunlight so that the cock-in-asshole penetrations are so fucking clear and detailed that you will want to lick your computer screen, hahah. But besides all the beautifully-clear outdoor cock sucking and ass fucking and aggressive sex and moaning and all that, there is Wade, lol. He was the perfect match for us with his slick sense of humor, chill funny shy personality, and that cock - well lets just say that its wielded by man that knows how to use it. Wade is truly a TOP DAWG in his words, and he begged us to let him top us, but we declined this time. We showed his virgin ass a great time, and weve already hear

Sulaimon putting up winning numbers for Duke; BC hits town today
A freshman starting on a team with legitimate Final Four hopes, Rasheed Sulaimon has been playing so well lately solid performances are becoming commonplace.
Last Thursday night, the 6-4 guard from Houston made 7 of 11 shots, including three 3-pointers, to score 17 points as Duke romped to an 88-56 win at Virginia Tech.
In his post-game comments, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski analyzed his team's performance, which was led by Seth Curry's 22 points and a 13-point, 12-rebound, five-assist night from Mason Plumlee.
Suddenly, Krzyzewski glanced at the statistic sheet and said "Rasheed really had a very quiet 17 points."
And that speaks to how well Suliamon is playing as No. 6 Duke (23-3, 10-3 ACC ) faces Boston College today (2 p.m., WRAL).
Over Duke's last six games, Sulaimon has scored in double figures in five of them. He hasn't missed a free throw in any of them, going 14 for 14. That included three clutch free throws with 16 seconds to play to tie the score at Maryland on Feb. 16.
Duke lost that game 83-81 but Sulaimon's 16-point, four-rebound performance was a highlight for the Blue Devils.
Nights like that have Sulaimon at the forefront of the conversation around who will be ACC rookie of the year.
Sulaimon is averaging 11.9 points while making 42.7 percent of his shots. He's made 40.6 percent of his 3-pointers, which gives Duke's opponents someone on the perimeter to worry about in addition to Curry.
Sulaimon has scored in double figures in 18 of Duke's 26 games. Two of the games he failed to produce were in early January, when he was a combined 1 of 15 from the field in games against Clemson and N.C. State.
He quickly recovered, though, scoring 15, 16 and a season-best 25 points over his next three games.
At Virginia Tech on Thursday night, Sulaimon benefited from Duke's strong ball movement on offense. Plumlee's five assists from the post are evidence that the Blue Devils were looking inside and out for points.
"We scored as a team," Sulaimon said.
Sulaimon was a factor in that and that has him No. 3 in the ACC in the freshman scoring race. The 41 3-pointers he has made are the most among ACC freshmen.

Get ready Big Guy, "Austin" Nows your chance ! Show them your still with the Giants !
Sounds like the assessment of an unimpressed coach.Hey, it's time now," defensive line coach Robert Nunn said. "He's got to show up, and he's got to strap it on, and be ready to perform and produce, and there's no excuses. So we'll see how that unfolds." Read more...
My spidey senses are sending off bad vibes right now.

"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."
- Lawrence Taylor
I can already hear the excuses now. Marvin Austin was a bad pick, you don't take a guy who was suspended for a year in the 2nd round of the draft. This guy had alot of character issues and there were questions if this game motivates him. Im glad Coughlin doesnt listen too some of the fans that post on here...We would have this bum starting with Herzlich in the middle as well.
I hope Marvin steps up, but I wouldn't surprise me if he's still a healthy scratch if Bernard and Canty round back into shape.
Technically he still a rookie but I was certainly expecting more out of him than I've seen, if this guy wants to stick he'll need to step it up!

A cell phone call proved to be good luck for three boaters on Lake Moultrie this week.
When a rogue wave hit their boat causing it to take on water, 40-year old James Feagin; his son, 20-year old Jessie Feagin; and a third occupant, 41-year old James Garrett; all of Moncks Corner, thought fast on their feet. They quickly grabbed life jackets and called 911 on their cell phones.
They were able to grab life jackets before the boat sank, said Berkeley County Rescue Squad Chief Bill Salisbury. They were also able to call 911 and keep the cell phone above the water line and provide directions.
The three boaters were rescued by a DNR officer at 9:30 p.m.
This is the second rescue in the last several weeks involving three people and a sinking boat, Salisbury said.
On June 1, the Rescue Squad pulled three boaters out of Lake Moultrie after their boat took on water and sank. The boaters were stranded with the boat for nine hours as rescue squad workers scoured Lake Moultrie in their search.
Life jackets and quick use of a cell phone once the boat sank aided in the Resuce Squads recovery of the victims.
The Rescue Squad was notified by the father that their boat was overdue. They did not file a float plan and the father was convinced the victims were on the river and not on the lake, he said. The father kept saying theyre on the river, theyre on the river. They never go on the lake.
The Rescue Squad found the victims clinging to the overturned boat around 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, June 2 on Lake Moultrie.
They had been in the water more than eight hours, Salisbury said.
With the busiest recreational boating traffic of the summer hitting Lake Moultrie and the Tail Race Canal this week, Salisbury implored boaters to follow boating safety practices such as filing a float plan, having adequate life jackets on hand and to keep an eye on the weather.
Lake Moultrie is a shallow lake and it doesnt take a lot of wind to stir things up and make conditions dangerous, so please, file a float plan, he said. There is a lot of water out there to search and its important somebody knows where you are sailing.
Salisbury said two things helped save lives in the most recent rescue: life jackets and cell phones.

Arrive in Lima, where you will be met by your Tour Director.
This morning, your Local Guide focuses on the city's colonial heritage during a walking TOUR. Start at the Plaza de Armas to see the Government Palace and the cathedral. From here, stroll to the venerable SAN FRANCISCO MONASTERY with its splendid 17th-century cloister murals. For a special treat, stop at a LOCAL PERUVIAN FOOD MARKET to get a real taste of life for the local people. This evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at one of Lima's finest historic homes, CASA GARCIA ALVARADO, with your fellow traveling companions. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Fly to Cusco, the impressive Andean city that was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Spend the day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, starting with a visit to the TEMPLE OF SACSAYHUAMAN, perched on a hillside overlooking Cusco. It remains unfathomable how and when this fortress of gigantic stones—with some blocks weighing more than 350 tons—was built. While at the ruins, experience an El Pago a la Tierra, or MOTHER EARTH CEREMONY, performed by a local shaman. These ceremonies thanking Mother Earth and asking for good health and safe travels have been practiced in Peru since before the arrival of the Incas. Next, stop at the semi-circular KENKO Amphitheater with its stone altars and labyrinth of passages. See the ancient site of Puca Pucara before continuing to PISAC, an old mountain village where you will have free time to shop for local wares such as alpaca sweaters and blankets, jewelry, or hand-painted ornamental dishes and vases. Stay in the Sacred Valley tonight, and enjoy a special dinner outing with a PERUVIAN PASO HORSE SHOW. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
This morning, visit the Inca Fortress of OLLANTAYTAMBO followed by the opportunity to visit a HOME, meet some of the locals, and experience their way of life. Next, board a TRAIN for a short journey through the lush Urubamba Valley. Then, transfer to a motorcoach for the ascent to legendary MACHU PICCHU, the "Lost City of the Incas," high above the steep valley overlaid with dense tropical jungle. Your Local Guide will bring you closer to the lives and mysteries still hidden in these amazing structures built by the pre-Columbian masters of this sacred land. Tonight, stay at a nearby hotel. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Your entrance to MACHU PICCHU is included for a second day. Enjoy the tranquility of the morning with free time to wander the ruins at your own pace and experience the magic that is Machu Picchu. After lunch, return to the Sacred Valley by TRAIN and continue on to Cusco. (Breakfast, Lunch)
This morning, learn more about the Incas and their struggle against invading Spaniards on your Cusco city TOUR, with visits to the imposing CATHEDRAL and the SANTO DOMINGO MONASTERY. The remainder of your day is free to explore at your leisure. Tonight, enjoy a special farewell dinner at a local restaurant. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Bid farewell to your Tour Director in Cusco and board a flight to Lima. Meet a Local Guide and transfer to your hotel. The afternoon is at leisure to explore the city. (Breakfast)
Your tour ends with breakfast this morning. (Breakfast)

It seems that there are a number of people on this board with dissenting opinions regarding the original made for television version of The Stand.
It would seem that while some people absolutely hated it and others think it is wonderful, most of us are somewhere in between and find that it had many good qualities, but overall left us wanting more.
As someone who just recently read The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition and then promptly plowed through the graphic novel and the miniseries, I can't help but feel let down with the miniseries.
The casting didn't do it for me and the poor production values coupled with the early-90s look and feel of the movie just don't hold up over time. The entire thing is harder to watch (visually and in regards to some of the individual performances) than an average television drama.
If nothing else, a rebooted miniseries would great. Personally, I stick to the claim that if they're not going to do a multi-movie type thing (ie: Lord or the Rings, Harry Potter, etc...) they'd be best getting someone like HBO to cast a full season (20+ episodes) with a dynamite crew and big-time production values.
Odds are nothing will happen with The Stand for years, especially since The Dark Tower appears to be King's focus for the time being and is undoubtedly his hottest commodity.
That thought not withstanding, I thought it'd be fun to compare notes with y'all regarding a re-casting of The Stand.
Obviously we've got to assume there are some budget restraints so putting Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, etc...etc...in all the major roles is a bit of a stretch.
As such here's my quick thoughts on who I'd cast. I left out some characters, but hit most of the major ones (I think, lemme know if I missed one and I'll gladly remedy my error).
Most of my decisions were based on the following criteria:
1) Acting ability - I'll take talented actors over big-name actors any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
2) Do they look the part - Molly Ringwald looked NOTHING like the Fran Goldsmith the book portrayed and I've tried to remedy that by picking actors who remind me of the characters they'll be playing.
3) Budget/Reality - Like I said, I can't imagine a ton of big-time stars would sign on for a project of this magnitude, so I tried to keep it pretty realistic in that regard.
With no further ado...here is my re-casting of The Stand, I can't wait to read all of yours.

George Robert Tardy of Warren, VT, and Acapulco, Mexico, died on November 23, 2011. Born on October 9, 1944, in Presque Isle, Maine, he was the son of Leo and Cora Tardy.
He graduated from Presque Isle High School in 1963. He went on to study culinary at the Vocational Technical Institute of Southern Maine. After school, he worked in some hotels in Boston and then made his way to Vermont where he ran several kitchens before starting his own restaurant in Waitsfield. He married Astrid Besseberg in 1968, and they ran Tardy's Restaurant together for many years. He and Astrid later divorced. He then changed careers all together by working for the Waitsfield Cemetery Commission, taking care of their four cemeteries. He took the winters off and traveled to Acapulco, Mexico, where he lived with his wife Irma. They married in 1995. They purchased a home in Acapulco where George spent his time making it his sanctuary. He loved to entertain and cook for his family and friends.
Besides his wife Irma, he leaves behind two daughters, Nina C. Warren and her husband Steve of Essex and Liza A. Giroux and her husband Patrick of Essex, and his grandchildren, who were his pride and joy – Nicholas and Samantha Warren and Amber, Jared and Ryan Giroux. He also leaves behind three brothers and their families – Leo Joseph Tardy of Alaska, Donald Tardy of Mississippi and Philip Tardy of Fayston, Vermont.
Funeral services have taken place in Acapulco, Mexico. There will be a service in Waitsfield, VT, sometime in June 2012. Details to follow. Memorial contributions can be made to Central Vermont Medical Center, P.O. Box 547, Barre, VT 05641, Attn: Development.

Do you guys think that we will be able to lose ourselves in Tamriel like all the other TES games. Or will the areas are designed linearly around quest hubs. I want to be able to explore a forest for hours like in Skyrim, most MMO's forests are a few dozen trees with one path leading to a quest hub. The biggest problem for MMOs today is the worlds seem hand crafted to get you from Point A to point B, they aren't worlds anymore. I want to be able to walk for hours and not find anything quest related.

Probably will until i hit that HUGE INVISIBLE WALL that prevents me from entering another Provence.
Joined: 3/03/12
I need open doors. Not just pictures of buildings.
The Elder Scrolls Online
If the scale is a 1:1 to Oblivion, then each factions explorable area would be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 the size of a WoW Vanilla continent.
Just from the MMORPG size comparison of Cyrodiil:
... and how each factions boundaries are comparable to the size of Cyrodiil (bigger, but not astronomically bigger).
So, will you get lost? I really doubt it. If the world was actually open, then maybe, but sectioned off with invisible walls? Naw.
Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History"
If you liked questing around say...Riften there is a high probability that you will hit some kind of barrier.
'Im sure with population density not seen in SPG's, Many ppl will experience this problem.
If its really like DAoC there will be no "invisible barrier"... there will be a huge wall with gates and caster / melee npcs (guards) that one shot you (no matter what level you are) the minute you get close to the frontier wall.
Stop with that "invisible wall" nonsense.
Plus Cyrodill itself besides the center will be kind of "divided" in 3 parts, since there are parts "closer" to each realm the odds of those being controlled by the closest faction is high.
If you want an example based on daoc to make it easier to understand the concept:
The center that says "Agramon" will be the Imperial city
The top side (the snowy part) is the "midgard frontier" - closeste to midgard usually midgard control unless other ppl go there to conquer their towers and keeps - this will prolly the area around TES Bruma or Cheydinhal, Ebon Heart controlled with their keeps and towers.
The left side (green) is the "hibernia frontier" - closest to Hibernia, usually Hibernia control unless other ppl go there to conquer their towers and keeps- this could be the area around TES Chorrol, Kvatch, Anvil. - Daggerfall controlled with their keeps and towers.
The right side (also green but less green) is the "Albion frontier" - closest to Albion, usually Albion control unless other ppl go there to conquer their towers and keeps - This could be the area around TES Bravil and Leyawiin - Aldmeri controlled with their keeps and towers.
For reference:
Cyrodiil map.
All of cyrodill will be shared, fought and controlled by all factions.
Saying you will miss Hammerfell when playing a Nord is completely false because of the sheer size of Cyrodiil. And of course the "cyrodiil faction zones" will have their distinct flavor, resembling their closest faction... so if you're a nord and you get closer to Anvil, all around you will be "daggerfall flavor" since its their zone still. When you see a tower or a keep, you'll know by its style of architecture where you are so you'll still feel "hammerfell"
Only the imperial city is really IMPERIAL. Of course you could have the usual imperial guard patrols but we're talking about a "no man's land" here... in reality is neither faction or imperial - its like... rebel / defector / resistance cities that sway in a covert way from the "Empire's" control.
So... considering how huge everyzone is, I dont think how this talk about "invisible walls" and "cryyy I cant go to the other faction's zone" is even possible. You prolly wont see half of your own zone, let alone other's.
I played daoc since beta, I only played alb (well... mostly, 99%) and I dont think I ever knew 100% of Albion - from the absolute highlands to the most southern part, was really a stretch and there are places I never went to.
What I think is that people just want A LOT for the sake of being "A LOT"... you're just biting more than you can chew. Your own faction land plus Cyrodiil is ALREADY more than you can chew - considering the division and the chances you actually have of getting there alive. The chances of surving "exploring" Hibernia's frontiers as an Alb were slim. So it takes a lot of time to explore the "other side's" frontiers.
EDIT: So yes, you will get lost. Of course you all going to get some crappy addons with arrows pointing into everything will yellow orbs and a sound saying "ITZ HEAR MOURON LOOKZ" with red and bold arial size 72, but thats not a game design fault, thats your own fault.
Why are you throwing these DaoC references at me when there just as plausible as the invisible wall theory?
I hardly see the "Frontier walls" in a TeS setting. But it could still be possible

But... well I'm a 3d designer, I worked in games before and maybe I take those "invisible walls" too literally because I cant think of a game with actual "invisible walls" from a designer point of view.
Lets see... Do you consider a huge mountain range that you cant climb an "invisible wall"?
Originally posted by Crazyhorsek
Just about every game has some sort of artificial & unrealistic barrier to prevent movement into undefined areas, unless the world wraps around on itself. They could also include fatigue / exhaustion areas. Or invisible walls found through extensive exploring. Or simply restricted places blocked by fog. Some unpolished games just let a player fall off the edge of the world as well, but these spots would be found by using terrain defects to get somewhere that otherwise wouldn't be permissible. WoW, SWTOR and GW2 are somewhat popular games and examples of one or more form of invisible-wall technique.
So I guess it is surprising that as a 3D designer the concept is new to you.
Mountains or endless visible walls do throw in a hitch to the notion though, so would it make you happier if people just called them unrealistic barriers? If you ever climbed those mountains in a game of your choice (can be tricky), you would eventually find your invisible wall.
At some point though people from their respective factions would need to travel to and from Cyradiil. There WILL be a barrier to prevent opposing factions from following them back into their homeland. Maybe it will be a portal since Cyradiil will be instanced with a load screen. But it would still be unrealistic.

Thats what i consider a invisible wall:
I think its plausible that they could use something like that.
Classic refrence for Definition and fun:)
Do i consider a mountain ride an "invisible wall"? No, I consider that a barrier that i mentioned pitty you didn't reference that only the invisible wall one.
Yes that's also a way they could do it.
One thing we do know for sure is there will be some kind of barrier preventing entry to other provinces.

Good god yes... I was wrong. There is one in skyrim you're absolutely right and thats a major design failure... oh wow... thats ugly
I didnt mention mountain ranges and such because ppl dont look at them as restrictions but as part of the scenery and funny enough dont realize that...

What is on the other side of those artificial boundaries in Ghostlands? Behind the swirly portal ...
Going up up and over the mountains surrounding Alterac Valley. Been there and if you get too close to the invisible wall your character gets stuck and his/her physical location is undefined.
[SWTOR] - Exploring Hutta / Uninstanced Jiguuna Airport Hanger
Over some more prison boundaries & mountains to see weird stuff and spots to fall over the edge of the explorable world.
An artificial barrier / mountain just begs to be climbed ... just as prisons (ie mmo "zones") are meant to be escaped from. someone will find a way .... :D

Make worlds not stories
1. Railroading, as in.. playing the developers story/adventure, beeing herded around to designated areas designed for your level, zones&areas that only exist for the sake of quests... and so on.
2. Stories instead of worlds with adventure.
3. Dumbing down, as in .. trying to reach an audience ranging from 8-99 year old casual to hardcore, simplifying everything to a beautiful theoretical concept, taking out tactical concepts to better control every part of the game experience, simple spells and abilities, faster gameplay and mashing buttons, fewer and way too similar classes or builds.
4. Balancing, as in balacing pve to make pvp fit in, balancing to make soloing equally hard.. err easy.
5. Pay2Win.
6. Quick levelling & Endgame focused, including double xp, making gear obsolete too quick, no consequense, forgetting the journey is the adventure.
7. Point system to equire gear, as opposed to finding and crafting gear, and trading.
8. Brief social interactions, that doesnt connect players.
9. Fearing to cause any kind of confusion or discomfort to players like failing and having to retry, farming anything or doing long quests for grand rewards, finding mysterious items that doesnt hold an explanation what it is for god forbid a player should use his imagination or speculate.. and so on.
10. read Azzamazins post, he says about the same only better.

-- Cash shops (give me a set monthly fee I start paying after trying out the game that includes EVERY aspect of the game, short of expansion packs that I can choose to purchase if I want; don't try to suck as much money out of me as you can get in order for me to have every available feature in the game) .... I have played and currently do play games with cash shops, mainly because of the limit of decent MMOs available these days, but I hate to see that it is a growing trend
-- FFA PvP (it's a game killer for me; allow players to choose when, where and with whom they want to pvp; if a player checks that he or she is open for pvp then put limits on how it can be unchecked, either time passed or player death; people who are into hardcore pvp can check the option to stay in pvp mode constantly....if I'm on my crafter or entertainer, I shouldn't have to worry about getting killed randomly since I'm marked as an easy target just so another player can gain points or feel better about themselves)
-- levels (limits who you can play with, determines where you can play in the game, kills community....I still remember after CU was implemented in SWG being told for the first time "sorry, we already have too many low players in our group," and that was a point at which players of various levels could still group together without messing up someone's xp, unlike most leveled games)
-- having to choose one combat class
-- crafting being a side to combat (got to reach x level in combat to start crafting, have to progress in combat before progressing further in crafting)
-- crafting being useless because the loot dropped is better than anything a player can craft
-- linear progression (first do quest line A then quest line B then go to zone X and do quest line C, etc. ... chose to make an alt of a different race to see that storyline? guess what! soon you'll find yourself doing the same set of quests that this character is doing)
-- quest turn in being the largest part of xp gain (kill a random mob = 100xp, kill same random mob for a quest = 100 xp for the kills + 2000 xp for turning in the quest)
-- heavily instanced games
-- as others have already said, it is odd to loot things that don't make sense....animals should drop meat, bones, hide unless they have human characteristics (ex. werewolves);basically the loot should match the visual -- caveman in loincloth wouldn't be dropping heavy armor or bags of gold unless he had a sack with him
-- choice of character determining faction or good/evil (while the backstory of that species/race might lean towards something, players should have the freedom to create a storyline of their own....."my species may be 'good,' but when I was raised by species that are 'bad' and I follow their ways" or "my species may be 'bad,' but I saw something wrong with their ways so I chose to live differently"......look at Star Wars as an example, just because Darth Vader was evil didn't mean his kids were too
-- having to choose a faction/side (what about the mercenary for hire that does the work of whichever side will pay the most that day or the businessman looking to make a profit from the conflict selling goods to whoever will buy them?)
-- interactions with other players being limited due to choice of species/faction (I know it is suppose to prevent people from spying on the enemy but with the way technology is these days there are plenty of ways around it and once again that only limites the stories players can choose create for their characters)
I'm sure my list could go on but this is a start.
[edit to add another]
-- "end game" content (Got to go through this raid dungeon again! Why? To get elite loot! Why do you need elite loot? So I go through raid dungeon again! Why? To get the elite loot! .......and the cycle goes on.......once my character's developed--although I've never played a leveled themepark game long enough to see my character fully leveled-- and I've killed the big boss once and seen all there is to see or as much as I was able to see as I was herded through zones, the game IS over; I have no motivation to keep going through the same dungeon over and over again. Why DO I need better equipment? I'm done and there's nothing left that requires me having elite loot; IF a game is a virtual world rather than a linear path then chances are there will be more for me to do and not reach the end of the game then it becomes "why do I need to craft another item/kill another boss monster/do another dungeon? a newbie/less developed character just joined our guild and we are helping him/her out or our guild needs money/supplies for our town or one of many other reasons)

Just another one.
A set of gear that is the class-specific, end all be all for that class. Look at EverQuest (again.) You could raid in any assorted set of gear. Yes the class stuff was nicer, but you weren't railroaded out of groups/raids/etc for not having a certain iLvl.

"Racing to endgame is like racing to the end of your vacation."
I dislike the notion of endgame as something separate from the rest of the game -- this is kind of a hacked quote from a previous post I made some time ago.
Before mmo's, once you reached the end of a game, you just moved on to the next game and/or occasionally replayed the old one. Satisfaction ultimately came from the "journey". End game is a BS idea perpetuated by developers to be an extended timesink to collect your subscription money.
For those single player games, you either start over with a new build, maybe go back to find some missing things, or you move on to the next game, don't you? Why should you treat mmos any differently? Because the companies said so? Companies contrived this idea of end game, that you can do more with your character when you've capped out but there's no way for them to keep up with that demand. They SOLD everyone on this IDEA that there's more to do AFTER YOU BEAT THE GAME but the fact is, once you're done with the game....you're done. All MMO's simply can do is offer up more to grind to stretch out how long you're going to pay them.
Heck, think about monopoly -- you start out weak with only your 200 dollars. You go in circles a whole bunch of times and as you do, you acquire new powers (properties, get out of jail free cards), equipment (first houses and then hotels) , and ever-more money to upgrade. There are time sinks (jail, getting all of the same color before adding houses) and pvp (land on someone else's property and pay through the nose) as well as some glorious moments (winning 2nd prize in the beauty pageant). But, inevitably, you max out. Now, your choice is to either keep going around the board and collect 200 dollars (perhaps collect some more rent if people are even willing to play still), start a new game with a different build (acquire different properties since it's the roll of the dice) and see if you can beat it again, or just move on to the next board game (the Game of Life or Stratego.) The game is about the journey.
This is what I mean by end-game being contrived.

Seriously, considering that just about every MMO has you killing huge quantities of animals, I'm surprised PETA hasn't kicked up a big stink about it.

well to add which bothers me
1) lack of open worlds and in the same place i would add the dungeons, why they have to be closed and instanced ?
2) small worlds, why not like EVE a whole planet to become a whole server ?
3) fake hero dimensions, if i want to become a hero for NPCs i go play a single play game, its good to have personal quests but not the style you save the world as everyone else around you ...
4) only fighting become famous and get levels its annoying i would like to gain fame by becoming a famous artisan or famous explorer or famous trader
5) why crafting is so limitied and i can invent my own recipies ?
these few, i have more which i want but these are what i have in mind atm ...

1) That people become heroes in order to get better items (armor/weapons/jewelry). Yeah sure mercenaries do things for money. But usually in an MMO you are role playing some kind of selfless knight not a sell sword. And yet the developers make it clear they think you are doing what you do not out of heroism, love for your realm, the desire to make a name for yourself, etc. but because you just want a prettier ring and a sharper sword.
2) Similarly, you are a hero who has undergone enough training to be able to wield a sword in a deadly manner or cast powerful magic. And yet your quest begins at level 1 with a few pieces of cloth armor and a low quality weapon. Wouldn't your mentor or guild have made sure you had a full suit of armor instead of making you beat up on a bunch of bandits and take their armor?
3) Also why are helms so rare that you don't even find your first one until level 11? Isn't protecting your head from injuries pretty important? You would think you wouldn't even begin questing without at least some form of protective headgear. We don't let our kids play peewee football or hockey without helmets ffs.
4) The realm sends you out to fight evil, but they don't give you a steed or enough money to buy one until you are level 20. Instead they want you to walk to every destination (at least once). Duh?

1) Daily quests have become an accepted part of end game content.
For me, daily quests have ruined modern MMOs. I honestly don't see why someone would want to do the same few quests every day for months on end. It's even worse when other people don't want to do anything else because they feel they have to do their dailies in order to get X reward. Don't even let me get started on the havoc these quests have on ingame economies.
2) Ganking has 0 penalties.
This is a far, far second but it annoys me to no end that someone 40-50 levels higher can sit for hours wiping any lowbie that comes into their view, just because they can without repurcussion.

I want a world in a sandbox ... not a theme park!
Some of my list, in no perticular order:
Quests / Missions
Lack of full loot
No meaningful exploration
No need to work with others (its an MMO ffs)
Lack of meaningful crafting
PVP that doesnt involve PLAYER skill, but instead favors character skill or level
Lack of personal housing
Making it too easy to reach a high level of character skill or level
Lack of treasure hunting
The game holding my hand becuase I am unique, special, delicate flower with feelings that might get virtually hurt
Theres many more but I lost the desire to continue typing them all out.

Peter Schreier was born in Gauernitz,
where his father was a cantor and organist. At the age of eight he joined the
Kreuzchor in Dresden. After finishing his secondary school studies he took voice
lessons privately in Leipzig, which were followed by courses in singing, conducting
and choral direction in Dresden. He has been a soloist in the ensemble of the
Dresen Opera since 1961. Following a guest contract with the Berlin State Opera
he had his earliest successes abroad in Vienna, Saltzburg, New York and Milan.
Since then he has given roughly 150 stage and concert appearances per year,
focusing on the opera houses in Berlin, Vienna, Salzburg, Munich and Hamburg.
Since 1970 Peter Schreier has appeared in public with increasing regularity
as a conductor. As a singer of lieder he has acquired a repertoire of about
400 pieces by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Wolf and Mendelssohn, among others.
Today Schreier is considered one of the foremost lyric tenors in the world.

Why .co.de?
The German country code .de is with over 15 million registered names without doubt the most popular country code in the world. Due to is local presence requirement and the huge amount of registered names, the opportunities under this TLD becomes more and more limited. This is where .co.de positions itself.
Successful extensions like .co.uk and .co.za show the broad acceptance and importance for companies to show not only the country of their venture, but also their target, represented by "co". For companies all around the world, .co.de is the natural addition to their portfolio, securing their company name or trademark.
The .co.de extension does not require local presence and offers still huge amount of high generic, valuable domain names and is therefore the perfect add on to the .de extension. On top of that it allows a very specific use with its world wide recognized meaning of "code". Business in Germany, .co.de without local presence requirement!
The relaunch of .co.de gives everybody the chance to register their wished name under this extension, as the majority of domains become available again.
.co.de has no specific requirements and can be registered without restriction. It is fully automated and handled in real time.
With our decision to use the state of the art registry backend from OpenRegistry, we did not only assure a reliable and stable service and API but also limited the integration work to the minimum.
Thus all registrars that are accredited for one of the TLDs, that run on the OpenRegistry platform, for example .SX, can immediately start selling domain names without the need to integrate another API.
In case you have not yet integrated the OpenRegistry platform, please download the API documentation under the Registrars menu.

- Legal Queries (abuse [at] co.de)
OpenRegistry is the the technical backend provider and responsible for:
- Facilitating the registry platform

In pre-fight interview, Bellator 116's Rob Emerson makes startling accusation
Then, the interview took a very dark turn. Emerson, who on Friday is scheduled to compete against Joe Taimanglo on the preliminary card of Bellator 116 at Californias Pechanga Resort and Casino, spoke about a running feud with UFC flyweight Ian McCall and made a very serious accusation.
With his gaze cast downward, Emerson seethed over McCall and said he was indirectly responsible for the death of Shane del Rosario, the UFC heavyweight who suddenly passed away this past December.
Shane was my best friend we were all friends and theres a lot of facts and stuff that Im not going to bring up, but I hold him indirectly responsible for what happened to Shane, Emerson said.
Del Rosario, who lived in Newport Beach, Calif., died from natural causes, including complications from a rare heart disorder. But a trio of illegal drugs also were found in his system and contributed to his death, according to a coroners office.
McCall shared an apartment with Del Rosario and reportedly found the fighter unconscious. Del Rosario, who had recently withdrawn from a UFC 168 fight with Guto Inocente, was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced brain-dead on Dec. 3.
Jason House, who manages McCall and also repped Del Rosario, declined comment through an associate when contacted Monday by MMAjunkie.
Emerson and McCall once trained together in Southern California at Team Oyama. But this past year, their relationship took a nasty turn when McCall on Twitter accused Emerson of sleeping with his wife.

It's Thirsty Thursday y'all! Christmas is quickly creeping up on us… but if you've been keeping up with this blog you're good to go! I have just the thing to bring to that Secret Santa party or one of those many family get-togethers. May I introduce you to Christmas Champagne! It's a delicious combo of a cocktail and a dessert everyone is sure to love. Plus champagne makes everyone feel fancy and up for a celebration!
1 liter sparkling champagne
1 ¼ cups fruit punch
1 ¼ cups ginger ale
1 ¼ cups orange juice
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 pint raspberry sherbet
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Make sure all the juices and sodas are chilled beforehand! Mix the juices, soda, and champagne into a punch bowl, add strawberries and stir. Next add in the ice cream and sherbet. You can add frozen cubes of fruit punch into the bowl (so it doesn't get watered down when it melts!) or add regular ice separately into cups as refills are needed. Garnish with fruit and enjoy! By the way, this recipe serves 12!
Usually I do an appetizer with my cocktail but this week I'm mixing it up a bit and making a dessert. A dessert like cocktail needs a dessert appetizer! White Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle cookies. Enough said right? These cookies will blow your mind! By far my favorite cookies of all time. Get ready!
All you need is:
½ cup butter, softened
½ white sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups flour
½ cup white chocolate chips (feel free to increase to 2/3 – ¾ cup if you like more chips!)
In a small separate bowl, 1 tablespoon cinnamon and ¼ cup white sugar to roll the dough in. Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl, mix together softened butter and both white and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat well. Next mix in the cinnamon, baking soda, and flour and mix until just combined. Stir in your white chocolate chips and put the entire bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill the mixture. Prepare your cinnamon and sugar mixture in a small bowl for rolling while the dough is in the freezer. After the dough has chilled for about ten minutes, take it out of the freezer, make 1 inch balls and roll in the cinnamon sugar mix before placing on the cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes (I know, it seems like an eternity!). Don't worry if they look a little underdone, they will firm up as they cool.
Enlist the whole family and make these cookies for Santa! They'll be his favorite out of all his many stops. Enjoy y'all!

Chicken Souvlaki and Gyros
Of all the great meals that I had on my vacation in Greece last year perhaps the most memorable one was the chicken gyros from a small shop in Plaka. The shop was so small that it was really just a window in the street where you ordered and then you got to eat while walking down the street. The gyro was easily the best that I have ever had! What stood out about the chicken gyros was that there was roasted red peppers layered in amongst the chicken.
Given that proper gyro meat is cooked on a rotisserie it would not be very feasible for me to make them at home but I could certainly try to reproduce the flavours. In general a gyro consists of the rotisserie meat, tomatoes, onions and tzatziki all wrapped up in a pita. In place of the rotisserie style gyro meat I decided to go with some chicken souvlaki . Souvlaki is basically grilled skewered meat and with a tasty marinade I figured it would work well in my gyros. Making the chicken souvlaki was dead easy. You simply mix the marinade, marinate the chicken and grill. The chicken souvlaki turned out great! It was nice and moist and tender and tasty and it worked really well in the chicken gyros! The chicken gyros were also great! I made mine as I remembered the ones in Plaka with the chicken, tomatoes, onions, tzatziki and the roasted red peppers. On a whim I also added some feta to mine and it worked out nicely. Overall the chicken gyros were a nice and easy light meal that was super tasty!
Chicken Souvlaki
A tasty Mediterranean skewered grilled chicken that is perfect in pitas or on salads.
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped

- 1 tablespoon yogurt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- Mix all of the ingredients, place them in a sealed container along with the chicken and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to overnight.
- Skewer the meat, and grill over medium-high heat until cooked, about 2-4 minutes per side.
Chicken Souvlaki Gyro
Pitas stuffed with tasty grilled chicken souvlaki, tomatoes, onions, creamy tzatziki, feta and roasted red peppers.
- 4 pitas
- 1 batch chicken souvlaki, warm

- 1/4 cup tzatziki
- 1/2 cup feta, crumbled
- 2 roasted red peppers, sliced (optional)
- Assemble the gyros and enjoy.

A pair of search warrants resulted in nine drug-related arrests in Aiken's Shiloh Heights area late Friday, according to officials.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Unit and SWAT Team executed the warrants on a mobile home in T&S Trailer Park and a home on the 100 block of Hillview Circle, according to reports provided by the Sheriff's Office.
The warrants were obtained after an investigation lead to several controlled purchases of crack cocaine that were made at the two locations simultaneously, deputies said.
Stacey Lamont Bing, 39, of Aiken, was arrested for possession of crack cocaine.
Christine Brooks, 55, of Wagener, was arrested for possession of crack cocaine.
Charles Alexander Bush, 37, of Aiken, was arrested for possession of crack cocaine third offense and unlawful conduct toward a child.
Marsheral Lashawn Curry, 35, of Aiken, was arrested for possession of crack cocaine, second offense.
Patricia Franklin, 29, of Aiken, was arrested for two counts of unlawful conduct toward a child.
Steven Allen Harrah, 55, of Aiken, was arrested for possession of crack cocaine.
Steven Laboo, 43, of Aiken, was arrested for possession of crack cocaine third offense.
Alonzo Strom, 47, of Aiken, was arrested for active arrest warrant for probation and parole.
Pamela Thomas, 44, of Aiken, was arrested on a family court bench warrant and three counts of unlawful possession of prescription medicines.
The arrests might not be the last related to the investigation, according to Sgt. Jason Feemster of Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
"More arrests are still pending based on the investigation," Feemster said.
The S.C. Department of Social Services also responded and placed two children that were in one of the homes in the care of family members, according to the report.
Also seized in the operation were a firearm, several grams of cocaine, marijuana, controlled prescription pills and more than $6,000
