Elder Scrolls Online

Many of you fellow gamers out there have probably all ready heard tell of an Elder Scrolls mmo. It was announced on May 3, 2012 and is supposed to come out about a year from that date. It has been in the making for several years now and you can find a decent amount of info on it, but you will need to find a wiki and not the real site because they have not released a lot of detail about the game officially. What many of you may thinking is, "Oh my goodness! Bethesda is making an mmo this is amazing!" Wrong! They are only supervising the story line of the game and making sure they get lore and geographic details correct. The game is being developed by a small team known as Zenimax Online Studios. I have not personally heard of them myself but many of you may have. The game is split into three factions that will all be fighting for the seat of the Imperial Empire. The factions are The Ebonheart Pact which consists of Dunmer, Argonians, and Nords. The next is the Aldmeri Dominion which consists of the Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit. The final faction is the strangest to me (I have not played the games that came before the 3rd elder scrolls game so correct me if I missed some lore) is the Daggerfall Covenant which is made up of Bretons, Orcs, and Redguard. But where are the Imperials you may ask? Well the game revolves around the Imperials losing power due to so many wars and have made a pact with daedra to resurrect their fallen soldiers so that they can continue to keep control of their lands. Whether it will be all of these factions versus each other or if their will be a sort of neutrality among the factions as they all fight the Imperials is unknown to me, but if any of you know leave a comment so that everyone reading this can be enlightened. Leave a comment about anything on the game! You can even call me a noob if you want to! I mean ill just delete it and go on my merry way, but just go ahead and get your jollies out.

May Economy Report

May has by far been the worst month for the world economy since possibly September of this past year. I myself own stock and follow several potential investments, but with the way things are going I am not sure whether or not they would be wise investments. Getting stock while it is down can be beneficial but I fear that things may just go from bad to worse for the world economy. I personally think that some of the safest investments are pharmaceutics, biological technologies, and other technologies. These tend to be things that will always have some profit and can still maintain stability while other sections  of the economy continue to drop dramatically. For instance, the Dow has dropped close to 500 points in May alone. NASDAQ 300 points. But, Apple only dropped 20 points in May collectively and Pfizer a little over a point. Hopefully June (which is my birth month!) will prove to be more lucrative than May.

Introductions

Just started this blog and it will probably take me a while to get the hang of it. I will mostly be blogging about what is going on in the world theater and economy. I hope to obtain a business degree and possibly start a small restaurant. After this post I will begin formulating my first real topic of discussion. I do not know that I will producing videos as a security precaution but I will consider audio posts as to enhance the feel of the discussions. I welcome an open debate on any of my opinions.
