    As someone who has lived a low carb lifestyle on and off for 6 years, and lost ~100 lbs when I made the leap I can appreciate Lustig's book quite a bit. I agree with mostly everything he's saying. However, after reading the first chapter and remembering the last phyical I went in for...

    Men's Fashion

    Where do you guys buy shoes? I'm a big fan of Johnston and Murphy and just bought a couple new pairs last night but I'm wondering if there are other shoemakers with similar quality but a lower price point. I'm redefining my wardrobe right now and have been spending probably more money than I...

    Daft Punk

    This album had me bored to tears. I accidentally listened to Contact first because the playlist order was in reverse, and the rest of the album pales in comparison to that song for me. I thought Get Lucky was a really boring song at first too but it grew on me so maybe the rest of the album...

    Path of Exile

    So I think I'm ready to start playing this game again. Had to take time off from gaming as I had recently started a new job and had to concentrate on that. I've settled in now and have some free time. I have to be honest, I don't have much left from when I played previously so I'm looking for a...

    Scenes that made you cry like a bitch

    The beginning scene of Willow made me cry so hard in the theatre as a kid I had to leave.

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    It was pretty apparent they were planning on coming back for a second season. At any rate they did a terrible job of making me interested enough to check out a second season.

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    Well that makes perfect sense, since the picture I linked from Zoolander is the guy who plays Erik Northman on True Blood, I had no idea until just now.

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    Didn't they spend 100 mil on House of Cards? So they spent less than half on Hemlock and it shows.

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely got bad actors because they were cheap. Maybe they spent more than they could recoup on House of Cards and used it just to garner some extra subscriptions for the rest of the subpar shows. Let's face it, Arrested Development doesn't have many big...

    Well I figured that there were other nuances that might make it tedious (obviously switching engines would be a major one), I was just pointing out that in software, in general, you strive for that kind of re-usable code and programming languages are typically created with that in mind and give...

    Not to nitpick here but... you absolutely can do this. It's one of the fundamental principles of Object-Oriented, platform independent programming languages. I'm not going to pretend I know a ton about what programming languages game designers use but you are dead wrong about most things in...

    Hemlock Grove - Netflix series

    The show is really.... really bad. Not sure why Netflix even green lit this. The story has a lot of promise, but the dialogue and acting are absolutely awful. Some of the worst I've ever seen. The one saving grave is the music in the show is really good.

    It is pretty fun. Original Alterac Valley was awesome (outside of the battles lasting days) until they castrated it (because of the battles lasting days)

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The funny thing is you don't actually NEED a LFD tool at release. With the amount of players still levelling and the release rush it's easy enough to get a group by using standard chat channels. I wouldn't care if a game released without a LFD tool as long as it was planned for the first...

    Critically acclaimed shows of the last 20 years that you haven't watched

    The Walking Dead is an atrocious TV show. I have no idea why it's so popular.

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    The funny thing is, this game is actually far more enjoyable a second time through because you know exactly how the combat system works and how to get around all the stupidity of the AI (for the most part) and pet collision (back out with Oliver's familiar and let the other two attack first, or...

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    Despite my earlier complaints I did end up finishing the game and ended up enjoying the rest of it once I learned I could skip all the cut scenes and just go back at the end of the game and watch them in the casino (seriously the amount of cut scenes and dialogue coupled with the "This is...

    League Of Legends

    You're completely out of touch with what goes on in any team environment. You think they don't need 2nd and 3rd stringers who can perform drills to help the starters in practice? You think that just because someone can't perform a task at as high a level as the guy who is starting he can't add...

    I don't really get why you guys think this will suck. Do you think Jim Carrey is over the hill? Do you hate Jeff Daniels' latest work? They are both still great. The fact that Carrey originally dropped out because it wasn't being taken seriously and is now back on board should say something...

    Anchorman: The Legend Continues

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Stranger Than Fiction. I really liked that movie, and it showed (at least to me) that Ferrell can actually act beyond slapstick humor. Oh and Zoolander was mentioned... but for Stiller... what about Mugatu?

    Ni No Kuni (PS3)

    The combat in this game is laughable. You're actually better off letting every one of your other party members die and just run around defending any boss abilities and waiting for a golden glim and casting spells with oliver. If you play that way every single boss is a joke and fights are...

    Path of Exile

    Trade-offs and such. You've chosen a build that is "fragile" as you put it but allows you to kill from a distance. You chose that build, presumably, because you deem it safer than a build that is in melee range. Well that's the trade-off, those characters have a higher risk of dying. And if...

    So my account was locked because someone tried to log in from China. Not exactly sure how that happened since: 1) I use a dummy email address with a completely different password than anything else I use passwords for when I sign up on gaming forums 2) I scanned and have no viruses or...

    Path of Exile

    It's a clever build. So you don't do anything except for curse, and then replace %hp nodes with %es nodes. The first part makes it safe because you don't have to do much or stay in the danger zone for too long The second part is 6 on one hand, and a half dozen on the other, so saying "I...

    Path of Exile

    Are armor and evasion really that bad? Why do all the "pro" streamers concentrate so much on armor if that's the case? Molten Shell + high armor mods on gear. Chest pieces with super high evasion and armor are worth a lot more than their mediocre counterparts. Why if the stat is so underpowered...

    Path of Exile

    This is how ARPG's always start off when there is a reset. It's happened in every ARPG I have ever played. Go defensive so you can stay alive in the harder difficulties until newer, better gear starts to flood the market. Top end pieces are always super expensive but it becomes easier and...

    Path of Exile

    I wish I could play hardcore without the frustrating lag and rubberbanding I experience. I only play about an hour a day and at level 67 with max resists and 3400 hp (not sure what my armor is but I use molten shell and enduring cry) I still usually die once in that timeframe. I'll be...
