That's why I recommended SS, 3 days a week Mon-Wed-Fri. He should be able to do it.

Like Elurin said, find a real gym. There is no substitute for a barbell.

If your major problem is time then I would probably suggest Starting Strength. It is 3 days a week, and if you don't dick around in the gym you can get your workout done in an hour/hour :15. It is critically important though that you stick to the schedule and never miss a workout. You can...

Not that big publishers, including EA, are great or perfect or without some major flaws, but, generally speaking I think they get it worse than they deserve. Any success is due to how great the development studio is and any failure is blamed on the publisher leading to the perception that...

I'm generally ok with even the more restrictive version. It is sticky because those players are salaried employees rather than just paid endorsers, but it can also be considered a non-compete clause. Your employer can generally say you are not allowed to work for a competing company while you...

Sorry, fixed.

They can PLAY the games, they just can't steam, endorse, or publicize them. Those are different things.

So I looked through the leaked contract again, and I haven't seen this addressed, but... it seems to me like you could stream those games as long as you did it on a separate channel/account from your "official LoL channel." Because this thread is lousy with analogies I'll throw out another one...

Hmm... I get your point but I think it is more like NASCAR forbidding him to publicly race in another racing league, rather than play softball. I believe that racers ARE allowed to do this, but perhaps with restrictions? I honestly don't know enough about it. The biggest problem is the...

Forgive me, as I am not up on all the details, but isn't that standard operating procedure for pro sponsorship in a sport? For example, Dale Earnhardt Jr., as per his contract, is not allowed to be publicly seen or photographed drinking any other beer besides Budweiser. He is allowed to drink...

Without getting into ridiculous detail it basically needs to be finished. Right now it is missing quite a bit, they need to fix bugs of course, finish/refine the interface, add a good hunk of content content, do a detailed balance pass. The basics are all there and better then the other X...

Probably be buggy. They seem more likely to process returns for a game with many people trying to get refunds. As for pre-ordering X games, all of their launches except maybe X:AP have been this bad, X3:R was even worse. The major freak out problem with Rebirth is that it was WAY more...

UI is better too, way off topic though.

There are 2 different different things going on in a large scale Eve battle. Network traffic goes up when players do lots of actions quickly. Server stress goes up when the server need to make lots of internal calculations. The number of players in a single battle depends on the bottleneck...

Take it to theWin8 threadwhere you can both be told why you are wrong and why 8 is much better than 7

As far as I can tell a lot of that is because the game design. Semi-turn based Spaceship combat is VERY well suited on both client and server for large scale PvP battles. On the client side space ships generally have more simple geometry, texturing, and animations. You can even get away with...

That would help, and client performance is absolutely an issue, but it is less of an issue than it used to be. The major problem with many players doing stuff at once near each other is the network traffic. Edited to Add:To be a little more detailed, client and rendering issues are local and...

Although what you said is true, it goes deeper than that. Instancing is easier (and cheaper) in pretty much every way through all aspects of MMO game development than making an open world. It pre-solves all sorts of design and technical problems in a single stroke at a low cost. Economics...

I do Except there is, you just eat some healthy food. The supplement industry is a gigantic con that hurts public health, not helps it. There are several problems with supplements like this, one being that the label can be an outright lie and you have no way of knowing because this kind of...

Or you could not waste your money and just eat food.

Advice time! I am going to get my girlfriend a tablet for Christmas and am deciding between the Surface 2 or the Ipad air. As of this point I am heavily leaning towards the Surface 2 because it is more flexible (USB 3.0 for her passport drive, HDMI out for her monitor or the TV, etc) and...

Not even a little. Plus that was posted months ago.

It is what killed MMORPGs for me. No matter how aware I am of the condition, and how hard I try, I can't seem concentrate on the "journey" at all anymore. It has nothing to do with the state of the genre, and everything to do with who I am, and in my opinion who we are. My unconscious...

The problem is probably haven't spent enough time playing to see what is going on (I certainly don't blame you for that). The UI is a clusterfuck because it hasn't been designed to use anything well, controller included, and is just thrown together. Different parts of the UI work better with...

Ut, we generally agree, but you are wrong on this one. TSW was an unmitigated disaster for Funcom. The MMOs are "cash flow positive" because they gutted the entire company and went from 2 live teams and very large development down to one small live team for all 3 games. If you just look at...

Yes, you would. Xbox Controller GUI art is absolutely in the Vanguard files (as is references to xbox), and on Conan (and TSW) we used an xbox controller internally to control the free camera (among other things) for testing and videos. So parts of the code handle xbox controllers and...

Yea, that doesn't really mean anything. If you pulled apart Vanguard and Conan the same way you'd find all sorts of similar references in the code and GUI art. Doesn't mean the game was ever in serious contention for coming out on a console, especially considering how much it costs.

Maybe the genes they use for augmentation are from Jersey? I mean, all that tanning bed UV light has to eventually cause some kind of beneficial mutation. Looking forward to XCOM, I imagine I'll get tired of Rebirth some time this or next week.

It isbasicallythe same game... just at the moment very broken, unbalanced, and many of the UI elements need lots of work. I actually quite like the controller support and find the game overall much easier to play with a controller than X3 was with a M/K. Now I wouldn't recommend anyone buy...

You can scan ship to see if they are carrying cargo. Eventually you pick up which ones are trade ships and which are just traffic by sight. There is a logic to it as well, when I needed the otherwise unavailable reinforcement plates I went to the PMC Sation that makes them and found several...

I didn't say they were LIMITED to the campaign, I said that the campaign was the worst problem because it magnifies everything else. Like a bad manager screwing up a project worse than having no manager at all. I've played the game for 40 hours at this point, so I've played more than just the...

If you aren't looking to spend a lot of money I'm very happy with my Readynas 102 for $200. It only has 2 bays, but you can put 4GB drives in each one. It's low power and the the ReadyCloud software is pretty good. The NAS has a built in DLNA media server it can run Transmission for...

Satire maybe?

Oh, it totally is a clusterfuck but they really screwed themselves over with the campaign. I don't think I could design a campaign that would work against a game this much even if I tried. No sector/universe traders... BUT you can assign them to a station and the station will treat them as...

On to the workarounds. I narrowed down my earlier save game issue to have something to do with stations. I don't know what exactly caused it or how, but I stopped saving while on stations and have not had the issues since. So my first bit of advice is to never save on a station, only while...

Believe it or not, this is another symptom of the campaign structure that has you run around on stations talking to people constantly. Trading as most people are familiar with from the other x games where you buy and sell large quantities of goods to generate a profit is very well implemented...

So, I've now spent pretty much the entire weekend playing, a total of 32 hours according to steam. My conclusion, the core game under all the layers of bugs and frustrations is excellent, and it is well within Egosoft's reach to fix the game. Most of the bugs, especially some of the more...

After playing this all day I am going to go ahead and say don't buy this until the major bugs, especially the trading AI, are fixed. I'll make another post if/when they do.

Overall I found the UI to be better. There is an asset list. It's Menu 2-2. I am using a controller though.

The save game issue seems to have grown out of control for me. I am submitting everything to egosoft.
