Now there's only 11 episodes of triumphant and heart wrenching 20m long conflicts with lone goblins until the colon-clenching finale: a lone orc. They'll be able to buy banded in no time! One more episode before I call it a day. More fan service crap, and that 10 minute long music...

You're past a lot of the informative stages in the writing. It's about to kick into turbo-mode with plot progression (among the many plots!) and you're going to get partially left behind, because that's -exactly- what the narrative needs. 5/6 will give you tons of "Oh, Ok." moments regarding...

When in doubt, hail mary. EVERY. TIME.

Elenium is plenty dark, but the main characters are basically charmed and borderline invulnerable. Except Kurik =| It's a very tame type of fantasy overall, and the Shannara books are substantially "darker" with more death and chase scenes and what not built in, while the Sparhawk books always...

The best part about playing a caster is that your basic attacks home in on enemies. You can do a -lot- more damage in a smaller timeframe with a melee/ranged physical setup vs. what you can do with a charged spell. But the homing is really nice for wolves/harpies/fast moving enemies.

Depends on the market, but as a generalization, that's fairly accurate. Flash frozen shit is the standard, especially for seafood. Not 100% certain on other meats, but unless you are getting your shit direct from the harbor, your seafood is always flash frozen first. That's just how they...

Yeah, not convincing the keto-kids.

Logical discourse is not the end goal. Not furthering this.

Uh. Hrm. Are you reading etchazz/dumar/laura/qwerty posts? Otherwise, outside maybe Quaid, the vast majority of all posters on this forum understand that WoW did basically -everything- better. With some caveats, depending on expac. It's by far the most popular and most played mmorpg by...

Entirely depends on the preceding diet, really. I ate, when I was a little overweight, at pretty balanced levels (no sodas or white bread or whatever, but I do love me some pasta) across the board. Losing weight for me was effectively just reducing caloric intake across the day/week, and had...

Yeah I already own Age of Mythology and it's expansion normal mode. I'm not picking up "HD" for 15 bucks. That's a 2 dollar resolution change and I refuse to pay more than that~ (Only thing on my wishlist to go on sale this winter. Also the only thing on my wishlist. Too many games =|)

No, the endgame is when "greats" like Beiber/Miley Cryus pass away and are mourned by the masses. Immortality is definitely not worth it.

Yeah I like the watercolor backgrounds a lot in Grimgar, but that was 20 odd minutes of slooooow. I'll give it a couple more, but if it's just half-ass fan service and moping, not going to watch it much longer. Watched Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, it's a pretty interesting period piece and I...

FFXIV has -much- more involved combat than FFXI by a landslide, though the high end raiding scene was a mechanical nightmare in parts of XI. Sup' Absolute Virtue. I've played just about every PVE mmo released in the last 17 years (and a chunk of the pvp ones, because I like wasting money)...

Damn =/ I haven't listed to any of his newer music, but in the 80s/90s he had constant time on my cassette/CD players. To echo everyone else: Fuck Cancer.

Nah, not actual newbie soreness. I'm usually only sore the next day after lifting, and it's generally more joint/ligament stuff, but I definitely don't have the normal endurance/strength in the same muscle for a couple of days after. So instead of just working it again at sub optimal rates, I...

No idea on the first, but basically after you unlock all the main cities via the main quest, you can switch whenever to level another class. But features will continue to be unlocked by doing the main story, through at least level 30 for the important stuff. Having the chocobo to run around...

I -wreck- my shoulders on my back/arms day. Like hammers to lifts to OHP(overhead press) type wrecking. If I am capable of lifting my arms above shoulder height the day after, I apparently did not do a great job. Generally, I do a great job. My routine is chest/tri, day off/yoga...

Being honest, my muscles never recover in 48 hours. Usually 72 at best. Could be genetic! And it seems to depend heavily on how hard I hit a specific area. I can't bench on monday and then bench again to the same level on thursday. I'm barely at 80% 3 days out, let alone being able to...

Yeah, some of the old beastquests can be repeated for tokens that let you buy some of the 3rd stage "new" relic items. But the completion of that stage requires a retarded amount of endgame crafted items, which depending on server, can be all over the place pricewise even just for materials.

That 10lbs is going to be rough as shit. However, challenge accepted! I want that 6pack action.

I know; there's literally no whiter moment than stating that you lost weight from a reasonable amount to another reasonable amount. But it legitimately made me super happy to see that weight this morning. Anyway, lets continue on talking about carbohydrates and the demonization of fad diets.

So I've been posting in this thread offering advice and what not (sometimes not appreciated!) because I was a solid 30lbs overweight. I know compared to some, that's a drop in the bucket. But fuck, I weighed myself this morning and I'm back at 155 from 185, 3 months ago. I'm a short dude, and...

I agree with everything minus the Cinn/Pitt game. I think Pitt puts it away early and stays ahead long enough to win.

I want the Vikings to win, because AP. But I think GB wakes up and has an answer to them in a close game. Everything else seems like a potential blowout, esp. the Bengals vs. Steelers game. I think Big Ben is going to have another big game, esp. without Dalton to counter the offensive production.

It probably depends on how hard you are hitting it, I would imagine. If you are hitting it as a secondary muscle twice a week and never primary, it's probably getting a much lighter workout than you actually dedicating time to it. Personally, I lift with supersets after I do primary "big"...

Thanks, Database Error, for the dbl.

Very true on the jew angle, and one I didn't really put together when I was 13 hah. It's not nearly so obvious in the first series, but yeah, Zalasta and the rich priests are pretty stereotypical. Maybe the multi-deity nature would throw people off the scent, but yeah, they're jew wizards. =|

The Sparhawk books were some of my absolute favorites as a young lad. He put them out pretty damn quickly too, like one a year or so from 89-94. They were pretty fast reads, but a story I liked a bit better than the Shannara stuff. Sword was a slog, but Elfstones/Wishsong and the whole...

22 tsp a day is considered average. That's hilarious and sad. But with stories in here of people drinking a 12 pack of soda a day, I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised.

Pretty sure it's a typo since he's still doing pre-heavensward trials. 114ish is plenty to start Heavensward, then it's just ilvels and levels to unlock more content. The easily farmed level 60 tomestones are "Law" and you get boatloads doing basically anything at cap. Esoterics are the...

Deadpool(specifically that scene, actually) up until they turned him into laser-Baraka wasn't horrific. Laser-Baraka Deadpool, was the hardest I have ever went "what the fuck?" during a movie before. The rest was pretty much total crap as well. I've forgotten most of it, thankfully, but that...

Wait why are we talking about Atkins? I was talking specifically ketogenic diets, and I specifically referenced strength gains. And literally nothing you've linked has refuted that you have lower strength and muscle mass gains while on a ketogenic diet than on a balanced diet containing...

No, I'm anti diets that don't take a balanced approach to weight loss and health. Low carb's benefits kind of turn into a wash after the body adjusts to it, and ketosis is great for specific medical conditions. But, the whole reason this came up was strength and gains. And ketosis is not a...

Being in ketosis is inherently catabolic, and no matter how efficient the body can be trained to use fats vs. glucose, glucose is a superior fuel source. Glycogen in the muscles is directly related to how much "work" the muscles can do, and the amount of work muscles do is directly related to...

Since I was directly referencing that guy, pretty sure I'm not wrong. Being in ketosis, however, is definitely taking the long and unnecessary road to trying to improve strength. I would posit that you would have probably lost the same amount of weight and probably had larger gains in...

In before "Keto is outstanding, they were using ketogenic diets to help cure forms of epilepsy in the 20s!" The fact that dude is -only- at 9.5 weeks of being ketogenic says volumes about him as a person. Anybody trying for gains while in actual ketosis is just doing shit backwards.

"it's a kegkilla thread" or some other meme probably applies. There's probably some strange logic behind starting it, but it has clearly degenerated into "the music you like sucks, here's some more music you might like that I personally think sucks!" ad infinitum. I mean we have Nickelback in...

A cup is slightly more than double that cooked, so I "slightly more than doubled" that value and then rounded. Hence the 4g number. It's actually closer to 3.7, but uh yeah, that .3 matters even less than the 4g.

Regardless of the health benefits, I do not like the texture/mouth feel of quinoa. Rice however I'm a-ok with! I don't eat it every day, but it's by far my go to "starch" item. Even then, I consume about a cup of cooked rice when I do eat it, so that 4g of protein I'm not getting isn't having...
