    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I have legs like tree trunks, and do 1 day a week. How much cardio are you doing? Any running, biking etc? I guess cycling on the weekends has helped beef them up or something, as I always see people complaining about legs. Mine are pretty big/defined - easily some of the biggest at my gym -...

    Came home from a crazy day at work, and am simply not interested in playing anything else at the moment. Have several games ready to play on Steam & Playstation Plus as well, but I can't as I'm absolutely desperate to play this again.... What the fuck is wrong with me. My girlfriend (luckily for...

    I had a fucking ball playing this over the weekend - dungeons were fun (if not undertuned), got a few pieces of pink gear for my pugilist (assume thats "blue/rare" - is there a level above that?), and dinged 20 and 15 on lancer. Only issues were 1017 login "world is full" errors, but not a big...

    Today, the xfer window seems to have exploded. Manc has a 28m bid for Fellaini & Baines rejected as insulting (it is), Arsenal have a 10m bid for Cabaye rejected as insulting (it is, though less so), and ITV/Italian papers claiming Arsenal are making 20m bid for Pogba. Would rather Pogba at 20m+...

    Seems like teleporting/hearthing triggers me to crash to desktop occasionally, forcing me back into the error 1017. Hope they can work that out by next weekend... Got pugilist to 17 (hope I can finish up to 20) and lancer to 15. Think(?) that is all that is needed for monk. First dungeon was fun...

    Ya, been after it an hour, thinkin about just calling it a day. Seems odd that the queue (seemingly) is set so low. Highest queue I've seen in 60..... should definitely increase the number in queue for launch!

    Bah, serves me right for bragging about my no-issues weekend - bugged out to desktop and when logging back into Gilg, getting 1017 error message. I finally got a group for the pirate dungeon quest as well....

    I realize I'm probably in the minority, but I've not had any issues since yesterday morning. Log in/out fine, no queues, no lag - had some screen tearing yesterday which was fixed by going into windowed mode. Overall, I think I'm in love. Woke up desperate to play - a feeling I haven't had...

    After playing a good amount today, I can say without any reservation that (for me) this game is better than Guild Wars 2, SWTOR, Rift, etc. Amazing what a nice looking world and little music will do for your overall satisfaction level. I'm really liking the 2.5s GCD as well, when I thought I...

    Great start to the season - Walters is awful at PK's, not sure why Stoke let him take them. That said, a draw would have been undeserved for Stoke. Hope they get relegated this season...

    Ya I'm seeing that now w/ the lvl 5+ mobs, I was more speaking to character dodge, which I don't care for. Like the world design as well - wish that jump/movement was tighter ala WOW, but its a minor complaint. Really enjoying this.

    First hours thoughts - awesome music... like, awesome. Pretty boring for the first 5 levels, but its starting to open up a little bit more. I actually enjoy the "WOW" combat and no dodging bullshit, etc.... different strokes I guess. Fun game so far.

    God damn, wake up to pictures of Suarez all smiles and in training. What an absolute cluster-fuck of a summer by The Arsenal. Never thought Suarez was heading to London anyways, but I definitely didn't expect to see him back with the squad so soon. Gustavo signed for Wolfsburg today as well...

    Yup - also, complaints about general chat? I'd be shocked if it wasn't the same on every server.

    Sweet news on Musketeer. I guess if we pre-ordered post 7/31/13, and didn't participate in any of the previous Beta's we'll have to wait to download the client Saturday.... going to suck if we've got to spend all morning downloading it when the floodgates open, but c'est la vie.

    Double edged sword really - roll on Gilgamesh (my choice certainly), and you run the risk of queues, more terribads than normal (debateable), and lag etc - but WHEN the population faces the first of its sharp declines, we'll be in better shape than those on the smaller servers. Roll on a low pop...

    If they go into the season as is, and start as poorly as they have in recent seasons I fear you may be right... which would be a shame really, given all he's done for the club. I do however, think he knows how the fans and supporters feel - and he knows more than anyone how much pressure is on...

    Comments are almost exactly the same as they were with Torres, so never say never. He's a proven retard. That said, I DO think his stance on selling to Arsenal is untenable - but selling to Madrid, etc seems possible (regardless what he says). Seems silly for Liverpool to try to hold on to an...

    Love the Liverpool fans who've cheered him, defended him, and stuck up for him during all of his drama - only to turn on him today after a single interview. I'd have turned on him in June, when he categorically stated he didn't want to be at Pool any longer. Much like I did with RVP last summer...

    After reading the ESPN interview with JFF and his parents, it sounds like his old man is definitely just as fucking stupid as the son. Pretty remarkable turnaround from last fall, when he was ESPN's golden boy. Can't believe this autograph thing is real though - rich parents, etc. This story...

    According to twitter, the founder/CEO of Storybricks has been cruising this thread this weekend reading all of our bullshit.
