    Likely a slow, gradual process that innocuously sneaks up on you. Inactivity, pop, stress, lower expectations, and/or mental health issues make it all that much easier.

    Swimming, if you're doing right, is predominantly arms and becomes progressively more upper body/core with development. But, you're right, it is boring. I recommend learning to dissociate/space off. Failing that, try to drown. Drowning definitely helps maintain your focus on your...

    Swimming is amazing. I prefer to think of it as body sculpting for the lazy efficient and inefficient alike. Four times a week, roughly a hour of actual swimming, and results are seemingly full-proof. That does presuppose increasing the rigor, slowly, over the year, but you can half-ass most...

    The Newsroom S2

    Not to be a contrarian, but it opened with a large yawn from me. It seemed like a not particularly compelling episode broken up to pieces and rearranged in a manner to appear more interesting than it actually was. I suppose the trap with the series using recent events is that it can't possibly...

    The Newsroom S2

    The rom-com element is The Walking Dead-level of terrible. I'll watch this season. Some of the dialogue and writing is quite good, but I really dislike the know-it-all hindsight analysis. That's said despite the show's political leanings being similar to my own. I can only imagine how...

    Food poisoning was quite the experience. It taught me I could vomit and shit at the same time without getting thing on me... after practice. I think I lived on the bathroom floor for 8 hours.

    Underrated science fiction movies

    Event Horizon, for its time, was pretty good. I still quote: "I have such wonderful things to show you," when I'm attempting to be especially creepy. I would go with Gattaca, despite the fact that I no longer agree with the underlying premise of the movie. Genetics or statistics seemingly...

    They do have an explicit, 0 calories variety with a limited variety of flavors. As does SoBe and Gatorade. I do worry about overdosing on superfluous vitamins, but the sweetness, flavor, and lack of calories outweighs my concerns.

    28days later was truly a nice surprise for it's time, which makes World War Z all the more mediocre.

    Sounds like combat is one of the more underwhelming moments for this MMO. Pity. Rift/WoW-like combat isn't the end of the world, but my interest in this MMO seems to hinge upon it's potential than the explicated features. For me, that's normally a bad sign as I generally don't have the...

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    Binkles McStinkles was my gnome warrior's name on Vazaelle. It was made more comical by MTing without frontal stun immunity. I've generally gone with Binks/Binkles ever since.

    How do you prefer your steak?

    For me, it really depends on the quality of the steak and the restaurant's execution, but generally medium-rare.

    World War Z

    Just watched it today due to the massive power outages in Minnesota. It was okay. I kept waiting for it either to be interesting, entertaining, or show me something I have not seen a million times. It really didn't happened. It's a father providing for his family during a time of crisis with...

    Man of Steel

    My favorite, and only, part of Returns was Kevin Spacey. I would watch him read the phone book. Even he was muted and underwhelming in this film.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    If Sansa was portrayed by a 12-14 year old girl, her actions would seem appropriate. However, she looks 20s in the show. A 20 year old acting that way comes off as odd, unnatural, or retarded.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Seemed more like a teaser for the next season than a season finale. Things happened, which set up ensuing events, but it was a bit anticlimactic.

    Didn't realize there's a new Juno Reactor CD out there. After Gods and Monsters, my expectations may have been too high, at least on the first listen through their new CD. It sounds like their old stuff (e.g. Bible of Dreams), which isn't necessary bad, but it comes off rather bland...

    Fallen Enchantress - Legendary Heroes

    I could forgive a lot of the flaws of this game if the graphics were not so antiquated. I appreciate the minor faction differences, but I wish they were more exaggerated. Despite some minor cosmetic/ability differences, each faction feels very similar. Some of this might be ameliorated...

    Da Vinci's Demons [Starz]

    That was a rather lame season finale cliffhanger where little was resolved. Sadly, I'll probably still watch it in 2014, but I would have preferred some minor semblance of resolution.

    The Venture Bros.

    I was ready for comedy, which didn't really seem to happen. Numerous, slightly comedic moments that never really sang outside of the GoT parody, which was already used in a teaser. Here's hoping it's only up from here.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He seems to be a combination of narcissism and sociopathy. His few moments of magnanimous behavior appear superficial or precipitated by pressure from others. A little Napoleon without the commensurate experience or ability.

    I really did enjoy the devastating ending of the episode. It really was tantamount to dropping a deuce in a public place and just walking away as if nothing happened.

    Ran into the same problem on my glass cannon ranged Van Helsing. He'd get one shot by the ranged spiders while endlessly kiting the others. Glad to hear it's being fixed and it's just not me :x
