    I didn't say "100% of the time" they are. But there's a pretty high chance. It's the same reason I laugh at the steroids in professional athletes arguments. Yeah, someone's really going to give up hundreds of thousands of dollars bynottaking something.

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I'm actually curious about this, because it seems like mythril is incredibly rare. You've got the easy ones from the main dungeons and easy/normal dailies, and then some harder ones from elites and hard dailies. Otherwise it's just going to be special events (Shinra and whatever in the future)...

    Look at items like you would characters. You rare summon for items which is what makes or breaks your teams in this one. The characters are all single use, common to all players, and in a few weeks should all be max level. You can upgrade any item twice (+ for the first, ++ the second)...

    You can safely assume almost anyone who's making a living from it is on something. All those YouTube Fitness channels? Yeah, they're all using. In fact, the best way to judge for yourself is to google Sandow (the guy on the Olympia trophy). He's probably the epitome of what can be...

    Yeah, I've found it a bit clunky. That said, it's pretty enjoyable so far. Not sure what Ao means by saying he's level 7. I'm assuming character levels? If so I hit 7/8 on a bunch in just a few hours playing.

    I wasn't saying to lie to him about it. I just meant I'd probably just talk to him and let him know that while I appreciate his services, you're not training for a competition and in this situation he's going overboard. I get that he has a brand to maintain, but does he not have any normal...

    That's stupid. You're not prepping for a contest so there's no reason to be that stringent. That's the kind of bullshit that causes people to quit. Eat your dessert on Easter. Fuck, eat double the amount you normally would. The way I look at it is: If you were a fat fuck and you ate like...

    In the Ravens case, it's more due to Ozzie I think. He's just significantly better than everyone else at this whole thing.

    I'm not sure if this was in regards to me or not, but I'll respond like it is. Deathwing hit on it above, but in my circumstance I kind of addressed this. Our current rent is $1200/mo. and the comparable houses are in the $140-160k range. So we're basically paying for the owner's mortgage (on...

    I'm glad someone else decided to bitch about that. Went on last night to check the NHL scores and I'm like "What the fuck is this?" The worst part is you know they probably paid a retarded amount of money on that redesign.

    I don't know why, but "Gay Dean" to the tune of "Jolene" was absolutely hilarious when it first came on. And I always enjoy 80's nostalgia, and the Karate Kid shit was on point. Rafi also killed me with his whole "Ralph Macchio? Are you kidding?" bit.

    I feel like overall this is one of the dumbest casts they've ever had. But it may just be that Rodney gets a lot of screen time. I'm not sure why they voted off Kelly, but I guess looking at everyone who's left I can't tell who might be a legitimate threat.

    I'm also not sure it even matters that much for a forward. I think it says more about the fact that the Caps for a long time have been an offensively minded team. Otherwise there's no explaining Mike Green.

    From the reading I've done this morning (since you brought up not having an agent, Cad), almost every single article about "why you need a buyer's agent" or "what does a buyer's agent do" is written by real estate agents and seems to try and justify their jobs. But for the most part is doesn't...

    Is that really a great idea for a first time home buyer? I feel like it's pretty daunting (mostly that there's something I'll miss). On the one hand, I work in contracts for the DoD, so I'm comfortable reading contracts. On the other, that's an incredibly different type of contract than what...

    Well, it looks like I'm finally in the market for a house (I had posted maybe a year+ ago about the possibility of it, but wasn't sure of our long term plans). Currently we're paying $1200 a month in rent, and the equivalent houses are probably selling for $140-160k. It makes absolutely no sense...

    I mean, the dude is a freak athlete. You can't deny that. He was successful in college because he could just out perform everyone else on the field. Unfortunately, that's almost everyone in the NFL so it stops working. It also means he never developed the skills a quarterback needs to be...

    For now I'd just focus on leveling that Shera up. When the next good rate up comes (probably either player's choice or an element one hopefully) I'd burn a ton of gems on summons. Otherwise you don't really have all that many units at the moment (for comparison, you can see my units in the link...

    This is a very complicated argument, and there's like a 200 something page thread on ExtremeSkins about it. He's not a good pocket passer because he can't get comfortable in the pocket; flushing himself out even when the line is blocking well. This is demonstrated by the fact that with the...

    You can try running the first levels of GGC's for a few hundred thousand. Level 1's are 100k at the end, and level 2's are 500k (level 2 might be hard at your level though). Frontier Hunter is a good way to get a lot of zel fast. Unfortunately season 12 just ended, so you'll have to wait...

    The Appinvasion JP forum is a really good place to go to get the scoop on what's coming. They've got months of testing the content before we get it (so Grand Quests, future GGC's and Trials, etc). I've got a really good Mecha team going now. Selena (lead), Tridon, Shera, Kira, Arus, and a...

    It's essentially cooperative content (although you can solo if you want) featuring bosses. All of the trash mobs are super easy trash. The bosses, however, are significantly harder. You can use them to farm for really good spheres (mostly Malice Jewel). They also give you a bunch of gems and...

    This show is significantly better than it had been, but yes, uneven between good and shit episodes. I've quit watching twice now. Once at the start of season 2, and then again at season 4 (and I never went back to watch 4). It's definitely better. What did Morgan's map say? I feel like it's...

    Not sure where you're at, but I recommend running the shit out of the highest lvl of the Karma vortex dungeon that you can to level up. If you have any harder content, my Kira lead should be able to solo most of it. If not, I can put up Selena or a mitigator.

    Don't worry so much about week to week weight loss. It's more than likely just water weight fluctuations (since I doubt you had a 14,000 calorie deficit in one week).

    Yeah, never do a lot of cardio before lifting. If you need to do any, just enough to warm your body up (maybe 5-15 min of light cardio). I prefer to just warm up with light weights, personally. You're basically burning up all the quick energy sources your body has prior to lifting. Since...

    I take a normal team, and if they die, use Selena. Level 2 of them all is kind of a pain in the ass. For my light mecha, I took Selena (lead), Tridon, Shera, Ulkina, Arus, and a Lilly friend. Even with all that defense/healing, I lost Arus and Ulkina at one point, and Selena had to burn her...

    This was the first episode where I'm kind of disappointed that this is a spin off show. Since we know who Jimmy becomes, we know that this case isn't a big break. And that's led to us all speculating that someone close to him (Kim or Chuck) ends up screwing him big time. That's really...
