![]() That was how I learned how to create levels, and actually not do all the textures in Deluxe Paint II anymore. I guess someone left, and Todd was like, “Hey, wanna learn 3D?” And I just screamed: “Yes!” Because my computer at home never did that it wasn’t that powerful. So I thought, “Oh, God, I’m gonna screw this up.”īut I didn’t screw it up, and then about three weeks later I was in a U-Haul going up there. And the fact that he had a British accent was, like, alien. Mind you, I grew up in Alabama, so someone flying me anywhere was pretty fucking crazy. Sure enough, within like two weeks, Mark Jones, who was the art lead over there, wanted me for an interview. So I just sent off a bunch of shit I did on the side, art-wise, in Deluxe Paint II. And at the back of NextGen was this really pixelated ad for Bethesda. I’d been doing some small video game shit with some friends that I went to college with, and that just kinda taught me Photoshop, because that game wasn’t going anywhere. I saw an ad in this old gaming magazine called Next Generation. We discussed the very conception of Vvardenfell, the strangest bits of Elder Scrolls lore and the “shits-and-giggles” philosophy that informed them, and what it means to build a game world that withstands the test of time. Over the last year, we tracked down 10 former Morrowind team members, including Howard, concept artist Michael Kirkbride, and lead designer Ken Rolston. ![]() That speech, one source says, probably saved the company. There, Howard rallied the developers’ spirits, handed out personalized business cards, and assured them it would all work out, as long as they were willing to keep going. In the darkest of moments, when it seemed the writing was on the wall for Bethesda, project leader Todd Howard took the team to a nearby hotel for a private meeting. Whatever the company’s fate, it seemed the game was destined to find an audience. But the island of Vvardenfell, and its unique pantheon of gods and demons, seemed to exist independent of the concerns upstairs. A vast ashen landscape teeming with psychedelic flora and fauna - equal parts Jim Henson and George Lucas, with a dash of Tolkien - here was a game that resembled no other.įor the people who made it, Morrowind was the product of tough crunch, a pressure-cooker basement environment, and constant uncertainty about the company they worked for - which many felt could have shut down any day. It was an artistic and technical leap forward for mainstream role-playing games in the summer of 2002, and, for many, a beautiful and novel experience. While hardly the first open-world game of its kind, the third numbered entry in Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series cemented a formula and a set of expectations that are still alive and well today in games like Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3. Maybe you used a mouse and keyboard, or the Xbox “Duke” controller, to visit it. It’s like something out of a dream, only you’ve actually been there. ![]() journalist Seth Hettena revealed further details about the Ivandjiiski family and the site's ownership. In March 2020, Bulgarian litigation between Krassimir Ivandjiiski and U.S. According to Ivandjiiski, the blog generates revenue from online advertising (there is no subscription service). Lokey said he was paid $6,000 per month, and received a bonus of $50,000, earning over $100,000 in 2015. Ivandjiiski confirmed the three men "had been the only Tyler Durdens on the payroll" since Lokey joined in 2015. ![]() Lokey, the newest member, who joined in 2015, publicly revealed himself and the other two, when he left the site in April 2016. In a 29 April 2016 Bloomberg article "Unmasking Zero Hedge", the authors writing as "Tyler Durden" were revealed as Ivandjiiski, then age 37, Tim Backshall, age 45 (a credit derivatives strategist), and Colin Lokey, age 32 (a Seeking Alpha staff writer). The domain is registered in Bulgaria to a company called ABC Media Ltd, managed by Krassimir Ivandjiiski. The same New York magazine article, published on 27 September 2009, stated that Ivandjiiski's father was Krassimir Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian publisher and editor of the pro-Russia right-wing conspiracy theory website Strogo Sekretno ("Top Secret"), and monthly publication Bulgarian Confidential, since 1994. One female site contributor, who spoke to New York magazine in an interview arranged by Ivandjiiski, said "up to 40" people could post under the "Tyler Durden" pseudonym. FINRA rulings show Ivandjiiski worked for 3 years at New York investment bank, Jefferies & Co., as well a number of hedge funds, the last of which was Wexford Capital LLC, a fund led by former Goldman Sachs traders. In September 2009, news reports identified Daniel Ivandjiiski, a Bulgarian-born, U.S.-educated, former hedge-fund trader, who was barred from the securities industry in September 2008 for earning US$780 from an insider trade by FINRA, as the founder of the site, and reported that "Tyler Durden" was a pseudonym for Ivandjiiski. According to the Boston Business Journal, the website "publishes financial news and opinion, aggregated and original" from a number of writers "who purportedly hail from within the financial industry." Almost all in-house articles are signed under the collective pseudonym, "Tyler Durden", a character in the Chuck Palahniuk book and movie Fight Club. ![]() Zero Hedge's first post appeared on 9 January 2009 at 4pm, and the domain was registered on 11 January 2009 under the name Krassimir Ivandjiiski of ABC Media Ltd, the father of Daniel Ivandjiiski, who founded Zero Hedge. Zero Hedge in-house content is posted under the pseudonym " Tyler Durden" the founder and main editor was identified as Daniel Ivandjiiski. Zero Hedge's non-financial commentary has led to multiple site bans by global social media platforms, although its 2019 Facebook ban and 2020 Twitter ban were later reversed. Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content, including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric advancing radical right, alt-right, and pro-Russia positions. While often labeled as a financial permabear, Zero Hedge has also been described as a source of "cutting-edge news, rumors and gossip in the financial industry". Zero Hedge, per its motto, is bearish in its investment outlook and analysis, often deriving from its adherence to the Austrian School of economics and credit cycles.
