    Starting PSMF tomorrow. Thinking I'll try for about 10 days. At about 14% bodyfat to start, hoping to get to a legit 11%. Also going to do it as an intermittent fast, since the last time I did IF it seemed to work out well; and with how little I'll be eating it will hopefully help. Looking at...

    Ring of Elysium

    I mean, that's what PUBG has been doing. We're getting another new set of boxes already. Meanwhile shit is still broken. In fact, the trend of them releasing a patch that has nothing to do with stability that breaks stability continues.

    Downsizing (2017)

    Had issues finding a good copy of this. Finally did and wish I hadn't. First 30-45 minutes were really cool. Super awesome idea, and then they just abandoned it. They literally forgot they were talking about tiny people and just went off on some stupid bullshit about...I'm not even sure. I...

    Sorry, was hoping to find some kind of official trailer type video, and didn't even think to do the others.

    Ring of Elysium

    New Battle Royale game by Tencent. Figured I'd start a new thread for this instead of cluttering up the PUBG one. Looks to be a pretty good clone of PUBG but with better netcode, dynamic weather/daylight, and more quality of life features (Q marking of terrain for teammates, auto attachments...

    Since it appears we're posting Ring of Elysium videos here now, I'll post the one I mentioned below. Although we might need a different thread at this point I'm hoping that it's still got some optimization to do, because PUBG seems more "realistic" to me in a lot of areas. There's just...

    Radical Heights

    Watched summit play this one last weekend and it looked fucking terrible. Not sure why anyone would give it the time of day. What does it offer that you can't get from F2P Fortnite or PUBG?

    That's not magic, he's just really strong. Maybe if you spent more time lifting and less time shooting people in the face, you could throw grenades 100m through walls too.

    Yeah, I said in one of my posts the other day that they're really pushing the direction of this game based on esports and streamers. Which is great, and streamers are definitely why the game did as well as it has. But for longevity it's going to kill them, and it's sad they can't recognize it...

    RIP R. Lee Ermey

    Recently we had our annual security briefing and the guy showed some video with him in it talking about OPSEC. Looked recent, so I guess maybe he was doing military gigs at least.

    War Zone is definitely good for practice gun play. My only complaint is the randomness of your starting gun. I generally don't want an SKS when I'm landing 5 feet from someone else.

    Whatever dude. I'm tired of arguing with you about this. You want more of a shooter game than most of us. That's fine, but that's not what drew me to PUBG.

    I read slippery's post, and honestly it sounds like you want a different game. Why bother even having 2/3 of the map that are on the outskirts? Seriously, what the fuck are the buildings even there for if not for someone to potentially land? Shit, the devs even added a ton of buildings on the...

    Yeah, I think people seem to be confused between battle royale and deathmatch styles of game. Luckily war mode should satisfy those people. I actually don't think those people are dictating it as much as streamers. Seriously, they can't fucking get over the fact that their game is shit for...

    I guess on top of that is everyone seemed to think that circles 4+ were perfect. So for them to revert everything is strange.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Yeah, I'm a bit confused about why you'd make a drastic change like that and only have it live for a day...and then completely roll it back. Why not do it incrementally? Maybe do something in the middle? And holy shit, use your fucking test server you goobers.

    NHL 2017-2018 Season: Penguins already sucking dick

    I wasn't impressed with the Caps at all last night. They essentially got spotted 2 goals with that major. I don't think it bodes well for the Caps finally breaking through the second round.

    That was pretty much my concern with hearing the new circles. If you're nowhere near the first circle, even if you wanted to fight you probably don't have time. Especially if you have no luck finding a vehicle. Like I said, from reading reactions to the patch, people that don't drop center of...

    I'm just telling you what I've read. I still haven't played a round of the new circle.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    So reading reviews of the changes, people like it if they were solo players who like fighting, or people that already dropped hot in the middle of the map. Basically any other play types are saying it's shit. Even if you do some early fighting, you have no time to loot them before running. It's...

    I like that you say no one should ever have to go that far, followed by how you went that far recently. Like I said, we probably play significantly more games than most people. It's just a higher sample.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Maybe it's just because we play a lot of matches, so it's something most people don't see. But often you get a bad first circle and can't find a vehicle. So you're huffing it across the map. You finally make it to the circle (often times this means using up all your meds to counteract the blue...

    Yeah, when Savage came out I made a post similar to that. The RNG in this game sucks. There are two where if you get bad RNG, you have almost no shot at winning. One is item spawns, especially if you drop with another group. Weapons are too sparse where you can loot 4-5 buildings and come up...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Oh, I just assumed without clothing spawns, that the loot would be like the Savage map. So, is it actually worse than previously? If so, hopefully they tune it when they realize how ridiculous that is. Their track record for testing any changes has been completely shit since the game started...

    Sounds like a carryover from the shotgun event. No clue why they'd leave it in. It's a terrible feature.

    Holy shit, that's awesome. Excited to try no clothing spawns. A little apprehensive about the blue zone changes though; seems like finding a vehicle early is now even more important.

    A Song of Ice and Fire - Book Spoilers Within

    Kind of funny to see this thread get bumped as I had almost completely forgot these were even books. I started reading them after the first season of the show had aired, which is right when ADwD released. That was seven fucking years ago now. Whole thing is a joke at this point.

    I won't make a comment either way. I'll just congratulate you on making progress. What kind of lifting program are you doing? You seem to have put all the weight on your arms/shoulders. You may need to drop them for a while and bring your chest and traps/lats up. Edit: Also curious on your...

    Warframe

    Yeah, don't fucking bother unless they fix it. They buffed it big time and it's not even remotely worthwhile. The hemocyst takes forever to kill and the toxin damage is insane. Took like 20-25 minutes for a PUG to do it.

    Anyone else call it "Sad Martin?" I think something about the road or buildings being there made it look like a "d" and it just kind of stuck.
