    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    The other way to look at it is that whales are subsidizing initial-purchase only customers. This isn't all good because it means devs will cater to whales, but isn't all bad because A: you're paying less than you'd otherwise have to in order to maintain their profit margin, B: the game may...

    Your logic is useless against my blind faith in a game that I need to fill a game-void in my life.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I'll judge when I play the game but as it stands now this sentiment seems like useful idiocy. My guess is that Monolith made a game that merely utilizes the nemesis system, build a post-game mode that focuses on the nemesis system (which looks like grinding) and sprinkled some lore/story...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I haven't read a lot of the reviews but it seems the game goes: 1. Faceroll the story mode. 2. Beat game, get to "end-game" which is just the fortress conquering/defending 3. End-game requires you to actually use the game mechanic of building up your uruk army before you can take on the...

    Right now I have one pull day that looks like: deadlift pullups bent over DB rows curls one-arm bench DB rows What should I do in addition to that? Not sure if this really impacts obliques, but I've been doing a few planks between sets at each workout, for lack of a better ab workout routine.

    Yeah, that guy does most of the lift examples in bodybuilding.com. When I do mine I bend down until the weights touch the floor, which brings me more than parallel if I'm keeping my back straight like I should.

    Thanks, I'll give a watch tonight. I'm eating breakfast for the first time in two months thanks to your advice btw. It's amazing how much hungrier I am eating a 2700 calorie diet with carbs on it vs a 1700 cal diet with zero carbs. It's like a new spectrum of hunger I haven't felt in three...

    This is what I do right now (with 60lb DBs) I think I'll be able to do 100lb DBs, but beyond that? I'll have to look at a rack or a gym. I don't have room for a rack and don't want to buy one and a set of olympic weights, so it'll probably be a gym.

    Ended my keto diet yesterday. Was about three months of no bullshit, fewer than 20g of carbs diet with one cheat day where I had a few beers that probably put me at 30g. First month I lost 20lbs, second month I lost 8lbs. I lost two pounds the entire month of September while working out 3-4...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    I feel like either the gameplay will be amazing and the grind will just be a curve you slowly climb, or the gameplay will be somewhere between bad and merely good and once the story-mode is done it'll be time to put it down. I thought Shadow of Mordor had the makings of amazing gameplay, but...

    From the reviews the loot crats and MTX are a big nothing burger, which means that @Utnayan has to buy us all copies of the game.

    My desk at work is positioned such that I can't extend my feet =\ I'd have to get a new desk or drill a couple feet sized holes in my desk to avoid it.

    The tracking won't work as well as VIVE, not yet. And it probably doesn't have to. I heard the samsung VR headset even works in front of mirrors which is really cool.

    Thanks again for the suggestion. I did the bulgarian split squats today and they fit in nicely. I was able to do 3 sets of 10 unweighted per leg. It feels good to finish a leg workout without any kind of weird strain on my hips/knees and instead feel like my legs are jelly. I still want to work...

    This is basically how I feel after playing the first couple rounds of the game. I want to explore the beautiful world in a free form way that I did with bastion and transistor, but instead I'm locked into this dialogue/map exploration system that's interrupted by a basketball minigame.

    Thanks. When looking up vids on how to do them I think I discovered what I was doing wrong with my pistol squats. I think because I'm weak, inflexible and awkward I was leaning too far forward, putting my knee much further beyond my toes. I'll try to incorporate them again in the future when I...

    I did buy it and found the first 20 pages pretty good. I'm actually planning on reading through it during a vacation next week. It's pretty information dense and compared to youtube videos / live demonstrations the concepts are a bit tough to understand for an anatomy layman like myself. I've...

    Ah, what they should have done from the start and what any competent PR person would think to do.

    Half a year later response: I played through quite a bit of BG:EE and I can definitely say it's superior to the originals with tutu. The resolution, looting and load screen changes alone make it worth it. Additionally, there is nearly 100% mod compatibility from what I can tell, so all those...

    Oh, and to balance out the fact that my shoulder pain is (probably) due to a chronic issue regarding my posture that'll take months to fix, I'm pretty sure I resolved a knee issue via one session of intense ball rolling of a tennis ball to my hip flexor and abductors. It was literally causing me...

    So during yesterday's workout I captured video of myself doing two lifts (deadlift and bent over row), just to check my form.

    @Sulrn I hope they have a Flint DLC where I can go become lord of the shit-bird rednecks and collect all the remaining fresh-water in the city. It'd be Fallout in Tolkein's universe.

    I'm a little worn out on LotR too, but I found the lore/environment of the first game was enjoyable because it was so centered in a desolate shit-hole that is mordor rather than all the generic fantasy environments Tolkein's universe has. In other words, for every game where you spend your time...

    Tarrant, I've always had an advantage over leaf collectors, this game changes nothing. Like hell if I'm going to stop crying about developers asking me to collect leaves. The 10 things I collected in SoM before realizing it was boring was bad enough.
