    Paladins by High-Rez Games

    This game is clunky. The FPS genre has come a long way since Quake. The days of shoving 60 people in a small map with the incentive of "just kill each other" is pretty much over. We've seen, over 20 years, the evolution of the FPS Multiplayer experience and all of it's flaws. Deathmatch to...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    This was my experience with Wildstar when it went F2P. I wanted to like it so badly, I truly did. But ultimately it felt like WoW with sci-fi skins. MMOs need to be organic, dynamic and evolve. You can see the improvement of systems from EQ to DAoC.... all the way to WoW. But after WoW, it...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'm still playing. Doing dailies for costumes n' shit is a real fucking drag. Their event was crappy, imo. I haven't tried the hoverboard thing, though. Could change my mind on the whole thing. The instance is pretty neat. Would have really liked it if I just fought the boss at the end of...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    There are obvious issues with the game and being only 24 I'm sure I haven't experienced much. But the game is... fine. The subscription doesn't give you anything truly amazing and the cash shop is... fine.

    As of now there are 4hr+ queue times for f2p people. Those that pay may be able to get in, however, it's so fucking laggy that the game is unplayable. Maybe Carbine needed another year to prepare their servers?

    EQ Never

    I had completely forgotten about that. I think it's because WoW is a paid, subscription based MMO that offers a "trial". I really hope that new MMOs can combine Blizzard polish with an innovative design. If games like Vindictus didn't have such a shitty-everything-besides-combat people may...

    I'm really surprised by this, thanks for the enlighten. For the past year or so I've been playing a bunch of f2p MMOs and they're god damn awful pieces of shit frustrating as fuck games with the same, "it'll be less frustrating if you pay us...." shit. It makes me really miss WoW for the polish...

    EQ Never

    Isn't that true with any new MMO that gets released? Whatever MMO that comes out needs to do something amazingly different than the other big names while including the same level of polish as an MMO that's been released for a few years. I don't envy anyone trying to accomplish this.

    Skyforge anyone following this?

    I'm not sure how it is in the late game but trying to piece together the right stats on Rings is fucking awful. Since there are so many stats finding the right combination is nigh impossible. I've given up and just equipped stuff that is higher in Prestige.

    Totally feel you on the amount of stats. Seriously,lookat this shit. I feel that the game is needlessly complicated for what it's trying to accomplish.

    As Khane pointed out, there is no reason to bleed money. Keeping meals under a certain dollar limit is a fine goal. $5 a day is lofty, but I'll continue to work with it. Right now, on a cut, I eat 1700 calories that mostly consist of: turkey bacon, bread, eggs, tuna, chicken breast, sweet...

    I think bulk buying is the way to go. I live in a small town with some butcher shops. Going to do some shopping around to see what the prices are. I live in a tiny apartment so space is limited. I'm sure I can store a lot of frozen meat though. The $5 per day thing was just some advice given...

    I understand where Zaide is coming from. I grew up with little fruit and almost no veggies in my diet. Mostly meats and pasta/breads. The only veggie I ate growing up was corn. Combine that with my previous diet of McDonalds twice a day, when I tried veggies for the first time to try and eat...

    The type of chicken would be mostly dark meats. Not sure how else to answer that question. I haven't cooked with whole chickens before, but I want to. I'm going to start eating a surplus in calories soon and looking into ways to keep costs down. Also, I want to be able to cook large amounts...

    Thanks for the responses and insight. How big of a crockpot do you need to cook for two people? The meats I was thinking of are chicken whole or bone-in, skin-on legs and split breasts; pork loin roast, butt or shoulder roast; beef @ 80/20 ground or pot roast. I assume a 4-Quart is big enough...

    Question for you fine gentlemen of culinary art. I am thinking of purchasing a slow cooker, my question is do I really need one? Does putting a big pot on low have the same effect? Am I just being dumb?

    Thanks for the words. It's really appreciated. I thought about bringing something I would eat, but was afraid I'd sit there and eat it while other people tell me to go try such-and-such and "do you not like cream cheese?!" type of comments. I did choose the nonalpha way out, that's for sure...

    It's all about structure and using the same formulaic approach as you would a barbell. You start with a set and rep range of an exercise, do them until you don't feel it anymore, move onto the next. If you're stalling to complete a full set of a harder exercise, simply cut it in with your...

    Being 5'10, when I weighed 225 I was dropping close to 2-3lbs per week after a diet change. Now that I am at 185, It's about 1lb a week. Just have to be consistent and know that the weight will come off.
