    Aarklash Legacy

    I must be horrible at this game, I had similar problems except I was playing on medium. For this fight, what worked for me, was burning down the obnoxious taunt / charge guy that way I didn't have to position around is anti-magic aura or what not. Once he was down the rest of the fight went...

    Breaking Bad

    Hmmm, I didn't think that far ahead. I assume he would crash / get shot by the nazi's making his escape. It doesn't quite feel like a personal enough death though. I feel like Walt needs to see it or be near it to feel the impact of his decision rather than it happening 'at some point'. I...

    Breaking Bad

    It looked to me like Jesse was about ready to bolt. I can see Gomie / Hank getting wounded and being inconspicuous on the ground. Jesse runs or drives away some how. Nazi's give chase leaving Walt locked up with a wounded Hank / Gomie. Hank has to watch as Walt takes his keys, unlocks...

    Breaking Bad

    I was clenching the armrest of my couch while Hank was speaking with his wife. They were building it so crazy, "I got him baby", "Oh I am so relieved", "by the way, I love you", BAHHHHHHH. I was expecting a 'bullet from nowhere to take him out at any second. I fully expected the nazi's to...

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    Not sure if you are interested, but on Steam there is a Space Hulk game that was released fairly recently. It has been a pretty fun run through some of the first missions. I definitely got my but kicked on the first level a few times while getting acclimated to what the game wanted from my and...

    Outlast

    One of my buddies mentioned this game to me as I have enjoyed playing Amnesia and other horror type games. After watching the trailers on Steam I basically went "NOPE NOPE NOPE" and closed the window. I am working up the willpower to even get this as it looks crazy scary.

    Only one real reason, which was to see how many carbs I could eat without breaking it. I don't really think I am skirting the edges of carb intake, but if I can down a sweet potato or some other delicious carbs without breaking ketosis that would allow me to add some things to back to my diet...

    Figured I would stop in with another update. This is more of a review of a couple of things that I have been trying lately. Overall, I have dropped 33 lbs. so far with 49 left to go. I have graduated to XL shirts and 36 inch waist (almost, they are a little tight!). I am trying to hold off...

    Breaking Bad

    Personally, this season is one of the most tense that I have ever watched. This last episode kind of broke that tension, the gasoline derail just killed that for me. However, every episode leading up to this was just a 'what the hell will happen next' experience.

    I have been tracking some of my eating habits with myfitnesspal.com. It is good for the unknown items purely due to the crowdsourced data that is already input by other users. Arguably, the data may not be the best or you may not have the exact thing listed, but there is generally something...

    This. It is funny reading this exact argument play out in the exact same way. Personally, I think the best thing you can do is to follow a program that works for you, that you can stick to. It may not be what you run with for the rest of your life, but if it takes you from 400 lbs to 200 lbs...

    This. Also make sure your build works with how you like to play. I started AR / Blade and it worked ok, nothing to write home about, I didn't like the feel of AR but it was nice for dungeons. Around the middle of the second zone i went AR / Fist and it solved some of my woes. This game...

    That is what I was thinking. Overall I am happy with the weight loss so far. I would like to shoot for the 2-4 lbs per week and just watch that taper down as I lose the initial baggage. Also, I do appreciate the input from everyone. Even if I don't go with anyone's specific ideas in...

    You guys are killing me, what makes this ok now? On average, caloric intakes on this diet will come out to between 400 to 1200 calories per day coming almost exclusively from protein. For those of you familiar with ketogenic (low- carbohydrate, high-fat) diets, a PSMF is essentially a...

    Well, the first reason I haven't done it is that I haven't heard about it until right now. I will give it a look over. The current plan I am on has a 'carb day' but it isn't that high. I would be talking 100 - 200g for carbs on that day. Is the reason this one is more ok the fact that it has...

    I think I see what you are saying. Basically, on a low carb diet of any sort, if you 'break' and go nuts on stuff you will see a more radical weight gain than otherwise. This leads to a defeatist type attitude and overall regression and is more easy to say 'fuck it' and bail. My hope is...

    When you guys are talking about normal / whole foods, does that mean reintroducing grains or higher carb intake or..? I am confused by this because I feel like most of the things I am eating so far are pretty normal (minus the coffee). The low carb portion of this is mainly geared at...

    Largely because I am over one month in and it is working. There is no motivation like progress. There is also a comfort level with these programs. I had done Atkins around 15 years ago to get some weight down after high school. I am able to eat what I want (more or less) without counting...

    Forgot to update with yesterdays calories as well. I underestimated how much I was eating by around 20%, my fault. Breakfast: BPC - Approx 400 calories Lunch: lettuce wrap sandwich ham/swiss with carrots / blue cheese dressing Approx 600 Snack: half serving 2% cottage cheese - Approx 60...

    The reason I enjoy these forums is that there are quite a few personalities and many of them share similar interests to myself. The reasons that I decided to post in the first place were because I was personally seeing progress and I also figure that some readers may be in a similar position to...

    You don't read, at all, do you or did you just stop at 'Go fuck yourself'? Just in case you missed it. I realize exactly what you are saying. Also, you are correct. I will continue doing this. Not because you have a problem with it, but because it has been successful. Though, when I do hit...

    Bah, that post is coming back around again, I should have explained better. It wasn't the coffee itself that made me do it, it was only drinking the coffee for 3.5 days straight as my only form of nutrition (with vitamins, etc). I stopped doing that and did 'normal' (BPC for breakfast, food...

    It may be a good idea to read this article if you haven't already. All of you. I am not expecting it to change your minds or bring down any acceptance, but read it. I thought it was interesting and something to think about. It is also 10 years old, but like I said, these types of diet's have...

    Nothing seems too harsh, it does seem like Paleo / Atkins / Bulletproof bring out some extremely strong opinions is all. I am just wondering though, what makes this a non-viable long term diet? Why can't this be the life changing experience? Let's assume that I get approximately 2-2.5k...

    See, this is one area where I am somewhat confused. If you aren't hungry, should you still eat that many calories? That is what I like about this diet primarily, I am not hungry. After a week of figuring out the difference between not hungry, not full, actually hungry was to my body I was...

    The starvation diet principle is why I stopped the rapid fat loss protocol. I may not have explained it right above, but half a week into that protocol I bailed and started eating normally again. I had been doing some reading on minimum calories, etc. and I wasn't convinced I would get enough...

    Alright, figured I would do a status update on my progress after 6 weeks. It has been fairly interesting and I have been attempting to only change one thing per week so I can see what works best. The weeks broke down like this. Starting Weight: 282 lbs Week 1: Prep Week, getting food /...

    Depression

    It sounds like you need something to take your mind off of it. I would pick up a hobby, could be anything that keeps your mind active, even video games. I would also recommend it being social as that can definitely help. I don't think I have ever been too depressed, but I have been in the...

    Well, I got a chance to play with the settings last night. I was about an ISO download away from reloading my laptop with Win7 as apparently Funcom doesn't have a plan of supporting Win8 and this is a fairly widespread problem. I think I was concerned too much about the overall FPS number...

    While I am not at debate level for Paleo, I can echo what I have experienced over the past month. I will probably do a longer update towards the end of the month of basically 30 days on the Bulletproof Diet (modified Paleo). The jist of it is I haven't felt better in a long time. I am able to...

    I was running AR / Blade for a while but it wasn't quite 'me'. I switched to AR / Fist and I have been doing much better soloing than I was previously. My main problem was not being able to handle more than one 'difficult' mob at a time, it was pretty much game over. With these two I can...

    I picked this up as well during the sale and it has been a nice change of pace. The setting alone and the concept of investigative quests was refreshing. It did have a pretty rough first day of getting used to everything, but since then it has been just fine. I am definitely glad I read up on...

    I went from 180 - 280 over the course of about 6 years. It started when I got my girlfriend (now wife) and the main factor being a job in IT. The first two through three years I gained around 30 - 40 lbs. It was a combination of going through a highly regimented bachelor lifesyle (running...

    Based on the opening of each of the movies where I believe it shows Schierke as well as Farnese it looks like they intend to take it past the end of the anime and bring it inline with the manga. They could probably start attacking the manga and get 3 or more movies to get up to where it is...
