    Sure I get that, but his argument was about growth sensitivity, which is something I haven't seen mentioned a lot of in my limited researched. I mean, should someone tell Eddie Hall and the Mountain that they'll only hit new heights by going on a 6-8 week cut to resensitize their body to growth...

    I enjoyed this article too: http://www.rntfitness.co.uk/the-myth-of-lean-gains-why-you-wont-build-maximum-muscle-if-you-stay-too-lean/ This part was pretty targeted at me though: I'm at 20-25% body fat, so above his threshold limiting a muscle-building diet. How is his statement on body...

    Are you saying that your end-target caloric intake is higher than 2500, and you're just going to gradually increase it over time? Or that you're going to measure your progress / weight gain / lifts / gainz and increase calories as needed, and that 2500 represents a lower bound on what you think...

    I thought you were doing a cut? Why not go higher on your bulk, dont' you think those sick gainz would be higher if you ate over 3k calories?

    TBH I don't even have a problem with this, if it just smoothes out the benefit curve of p2w. I don't know the specific context but if it's similar to Shadow of War where you buy a legendary orc and he immediately betrays you, you'd be super-pissed. I spent $32 on loot boxes last night to help...

    Looking good, @Shonuff, @McQueen calling you manlet is churlish and laughable.

    The treatment of Tolkein's universe in Shadow of War where you dodge-roll-defeat Sauron is perfectly in line with both the Hobbit and LotR.

    You guys are talking about a universe framed by a story where one of the wisest dudes sends the most powerful artifact of all time and the key to the Great Evil's power into the center of the Great Evil's base with two of the weakest characters on the team, one of which is already dying from...

    You're on the wrong forum if you think finding some optional ingame mechanic that allows you to semi-AFK level hurts the game's score. The pit fights are pretty cool, and I feel like watching them a few times every play session would probably improve my knowledge of the game, but they aren't...

    Neither, really. It's more of a batman build than anything. A competent fighter with an ability to sneak attack and a wide variety of tools/abilities. The game randomly generates a bunch of tough named captains with random strengths and weaknesses, and you have a variety of ways to exploit...

    Speaking of which, they announced on a live stream (I make it a priority to watch every one of them) that the first DLC will come with unlimited shadow wars. Turns out the #1 complaint about the game is that there's only so much emergent fort defense gameplay before Sauron gives up.

    sk / mage / bard is a pretty good combo. The best thing to add to that is probably a druid. Druids provide great healing and are in a good state right now balance wise. The druid will augment your mage's and SK's damage nicely. If you want to get a six-man group you have to decide between...

    One thing that this game does well that separates it from other RPGs is that it really tries hard to force you to make your attacks multi-dimensional. In other RPGs top-gamers are always looking for synergistic builds and while that's OK, in a game like this it causes fairly boring and...

    Man this game is amazing. I'm almost done with the first act. Everything the orcs say is pure gold and clever and the only thing I wish was different about the speeches was that they were shorter and LESS skippable.
