    Path of Exile

    The league idea is cool, but it really sucks for weekends like this one. There's no point in me bothering to play until the new league starts.

    Except the diagram is already wrong, since apparently whoever did it doesn't understand how mirrors work. That is, unless they flipped one of those images already?

    I always just go and lift and take it easy at first (I always warmup with just the bar anyways) and evaluate as I go. But that's my own body, so I'm willing to take the chance. I recommend everyone get a very firm foam roller and a lacrosse ball. The lacrosse ball is probably what you need...

    I'm surprised anywhere actuallyairswomen's hockey. All I ever hear about it is they get their asses kicked by AA and AAA boys teams. Why would anyone want to watch that?

    I'd think after a month most people have dropped out. By 2 months, it'll be just you and the other guy, until he realizes he can't win and quits. Almost no one wants to lose weight to actually lose it.

    That's when I used to go. I've had to move it up earlier since I have to be at work before 7am, but I basically try to never be at the gym earlier than 6:30pm. It's a pretty good time to avoid the crowds.

    It's interesting that you enjoyed that space colony quest so much. That's the point where I definitively decided that Wildstar fucking sucked. I go to the alien planet or whatever it was and apparently ran in the wrong direction. Ended up just lost and with no idea what I was doing. I cleared...

    True Detective

    I feel like there's a very good chance this show concludes as being the darkest and most disturbing show ever to end up on TV. I'm not sure how I feel about that possibility right now. The show already freaks me out a bit.

    True Detective

    Seriously. That whole episode my heart was pounding, especially the shit at the meth lab. At the end of the episode I just felt creeped out. For some reason I saw what he was doing there as I was watching, but he ended up picking up the 5th can-man and making him stand.

    Was reading the beta forums before I get kicked, and I think I figured out why I dislike this game. There's a post on there that basically described the combat system as "Don't Stand in the Fire - The Game." That description nails it. The first 10 or so levels it didn't really effect me since...

    Damn, how'd that happen? I actually did the same thing several years ago, with close to the same amount of weight. Was going to rerack it and one side missed the pins. Luckily the other half DID make the pins, so that it didn't all come crashing down onto my face. Ended up with what was...

    I don't know about all the muscles. I pretty much just assume hamstrings, glutes, lower back, lats, and traps. So posterior chain + some upper back. A good cue I learned was when you've already reached down to the bar, pull your lats down. It'll tighten up everything that needs to be outside...

    This probably isn't the place for it, but if Netflix or Amazon could basically do something in the vein of Southland, they'd probably have a hit. I dunno, assuming the writers aren't doing something else, just get them all together again with a new cast.

    Not going to read the thread since I'm sure someone has watched the whole thing, but HOLY SHIT that first episode. I'm pretty sure I've seen a bunch of other people post here (read some accidentally) with the same reaction. Talk about a season opener...makes me want to marathon it to see what...

    Fort Gordon sucked. Try to enjoy Augusta though when you're there, and don't just do the poverty hotel party thing that everyone else does. Go downtown to the waterfront and shit.

    Is this the first time Netflix has had a highly anticipated show? I'm thinking Arrested Development maybe, but I feel like this one has a much broader audience. I keep hearing shit about how Netflix comprises a very large percentage of internet traffic (which I find a bit hard to believe, but...

    That book has been out for years? I should probably read it. I've read some excerpts from it and it sounds insane. Like Michael Irvin going on a cocaine bender and showing up to practice still out of his mind.

    P1 was pretty fucking cool. Future of automotive indeed. Can't wait to see that technology make it to the masses in 5-10 years. I really like the new Corvette too. Not really a huge Corvette fan, but that one was nice. Shame about the museum today. Hit the dome too, which is where all the...

    Kaepernick is Wilson. They're almost the exact same QB. Great arm and can put it on a rope, but terrible awareness and basically don't go through progressions. It's uncommon for either of them to get to their 2nd read, and a damn miracle if they make it to the 3rd. They can also both take off...

    Think it depends on the person. I love living in California. Don't miss the seasons at all, and if I did, I could just go to the mountains or something. My wife, on the other hand, is jealous of the snow everyone is getting. Fuck that.
