I was chatting to the caveman about this last night, but the tl;dr is that I've got an epic gym at work and have free unlimited use as often and as long as I want. Not using it is a waste. The problem is mine, which is quite simple. I've no idea where to start or what to do. When I worked nights at BT I used to go to the gym on nights for a few months but I had no clue what I was doing. I would literally just hop on whatever machine looked good that day, and go until I was knackered. I had no goals, no plan, nothing. Just go. This of course made me lose interest as I was just wasting time effectively. That needs to change. I don't want to pay for a personal trainer, but I want all the benefits of a personal trainer. We have 2x Peloton bikes, 2x regular training bikes, 2x Crossfits, 2x Treadmills, 2x Rowing machines, shitloads of weights, punching bag, medicine balls, kettlebells, you name it, we have it. This gym is seriously kitted out. Now I want to be fit, and I want to bulk up a bit. I've done some googling and I might as well have googled "what's your favourite colour" as everyone has different opinions and approaches, almost as if everyone has different bodies and different strokes work for different folks or something, it's weird. So, halp! Where do I begin?

Whoever designed the spawn system in this game needs sacking. It's just utter dogshit. Every single new map has spawn issues and it takes weeks to fix them. How hard is it to design a spawn system with parameters such as "if an enemy is within X amount of distance don't spawn a player there" or "if an enemy is looking at a spot DON'T FUCKING SPAWN PEOPLE IN THEIR LINE OF SIGHT AS THAT IS JUST FUCKING RETARDED"

I've enjoyed reading the articles. I just don't seem to find the time to post any quality responses. Good reads though for sure. Via the FG App

logged on to Flamelash for a bit tonight with the sole intention of farming some elemental fires to bring over to Nethergarde Keep when I transfer. These are rather valuable but very heavily farmed items so there's always fierce competition at the zone where the mobs spawn which drop them. Within minutes there were a few Hordies around me, one of which killed me once but when I made it clear that I was just there for farming, he left me to it. Three other hordies were completely the opposite, dancing with me, helping me kill mobs, etc. Then a mage turned up and made it his priority to highlight why the server is dead and just kept killing me over and over. He was level 60, I was level 36. He gained absolutely nothing from killing me, not a single honor point, not a single rep, not even a single copper. I was a completely honorless target yet he still kept killing me. The others were telling him to stop and one of them even figured out a way to cross the game's language barrier and kept saying "no go no go no go". Obviously these guys know what's up and are trying to look after the few Allies they have left, perhaps in the hope that the Alliance will grow back again, but the mage was having none of it. Well, to those who helped, I salute you, but please send my thanks to the mage for highlighting why that server is dead in the first place and wish him all the best on his empty PVE server. I'll transfer tomorrow.

@Docwagon also makes a good point find something to aim towards maybe as motivation, I did running a while back to do a 10 k I'd signed for, a workmate is working towards his first marathon, maybe a tough mudder or something you might want to do you've thought of yourself.

Seriously start by doing classes if they’re available. More fun than working out alone and it teaches you all the basics. Plus other people there motivate you to do more. That’s how I got back Into it after I stopped going. Spin class is a good start. I do boxing, spin and circuit training. Perfect mix of cardio and strength training

You have to find something you enjoy and then do it long enough to make it a routine. If you make it punishment, you'll lose long term. Find something you like, then set short term goals, mid term goals, and long term goals. Hiking/walking/backpacking is my "thing" but when I was younger it was weights. Now I can't really lift weights like I used to without risking of literally crippling myself due to nerve damage and joint issues. I can still carry a ruck and walk forever, though, and I like to do that. I'm up to 15 miles of hilly terrain with a light pack without ill effect, 20 miles if I don't mind being pretty sore after. I'm doing the 26.2 mile Bataan Memorial Death March next Spring, which is a big motivator for me. https://bataanmarch.com/ I put on nearly 60 pounds after I slipped the disks in my back. Using a combination of diet, goal setting, and exercise I've lost 41 of it this year. I hope to do another 30 next year. I've found Garmin Connect to be a big help. You can get some semi-personalized workout plans there for cardio, but not so much for strength training.

I was asking for time management purposes. We're all on US passports so no visa concerns as far as entry. It just matters if we fly back to Madrid on the day we fly to the US or if we fly back to Madrid the day before and just get a hotel overnight. We have 10 days on continent, so we just want to figure out which cities to hit and in what order. I have no connection to Iran. My father-in-law was originally from Palestine but got Jordanian citizenship. I have in-laws in Jordan, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, and a few outside the ME, but nobody in Iran. Out of the US, I've visited, in no particular order: Cyprus Qatar Bahrain Jordan Spain France Italy Canada England I'd like to visit a lot of places. Peru, Greece, Ireland, Germany, and Japan are currently on our "check airfares" list.

Shoothouse plays really well in this Season and I might be on my own but Crash is enjoyable too. Ithink too many people rush into Control point B, thats in the middle of the map. With high buildings all around. And lanes all looking at it. I mean, I hate to be that guy but.... I really hope for next season they take Piccadilly out of the rotation to smarten up the map logistics. Whilst still looking great, its far too open and Domination is a crazy clusterfuck to try and hold B in between the buses.

As Tom said diet, stop drinking and smoking. We have a fully stocked free gym at work too, I'd been bugged by my workmate to go so I thought I'd give it a go and while he admits he's no expert the routine we do that fits into our lunch break has had an effect. Now while this isn't an ideal situation I've seen a benefit and that in itself motivates me in other ways especially this time of year when the hibernation sets in. Good luck with it, it's something I wish I'd turned to sooner. Definitely be an interesting thread look forward to reading @Middle Class Caveman post.

Lol, I don't think it's acceptable to charge any person $20 for a cosmetic element. I think it's hilarious and justified for all those cockwombles that think its perfectly fine to use a K/D as a key driver to play the game. Past behaviours and experiences dont lie. You still get to see at the end anyway but that's not enough for some people. They make millions of funds from everything that they do, including MTX but the basic premise of if a game is doing shit and no cosmetics being bought wont still get updated. Activision being as cutthroat as they are will certainly follow that rule. Support the games that make even more money, drop the ones that dont. I'm not saying I agree with it one bit, but that's fundamental business. You also bought the battle pass btw, and I have no idea why. People looked over as lol'd at my desk at this. Spot on 😂😂😂😂

I mean you haven’t mentioned diet. That’s the other main thing you’ll have to change if you want to see any kind of result

Proud night despite losing 3-1. We absolutely battered them for large parts especially in the second half. Two tap ins from Sterling against the run of play sealed it. One of the hardest games city will play this season and under the Pep tenure!. Absolute scenes when we equalised too!

Talking to kempy the other day who says he goes through a PS4 controller every 6 months my scufs have been great value. I have tried other similar products (granted non of the more expensive newer ones) but the Scuf has always been the far better product

Hahahaha, they couldn't even mask their greed for a day. If we pull the curtain back a bit, what we see is that there has been no KDR on the scoreboards of this game, ever. Even in the beta there was no KDR. I know this because I noticed it and thought it was a bug. Turns out this whole "here lol free stuffs" attitude was a load of shit from the beginning and they were simply throwing us a bone to appease us. Well, not me, I'm far too cynical for these cunts, I see straight through their bullshit and saw something like this coming from a mile away. Fuck me they're geniuses if you think about it, textbook bait and switch except that they hid their intentions in plain sight. Credit where it's due, they played us and they played us well. Well, those of us who aren't too cynical for our own good anyway. They've literally taken something which has been a staple of CoD since day dot, removed it, thrown us a bone, and then later they want to charge us for the staple again. As much as I detest these practices, there's no denying their craftiness, I raise a glass to them. I just can't believe that people think this is acceptable. Leigh you're an idiot. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and pay £19 to transfer a character from one digital box to another digital box on a game I pay £10 a month to play.

Is he into Sonic games? I have Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic CD and Sonic Generations Collection available if you'd like them.

Here's my initial list, to get the ball rolling, and this will change a lot between now and NYE I'm sure. 1. DayZ mod for Arma 2 2. Arma 3 3. Fallout 3 4. 7 Days to die 5. Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim 6. Bioshock Infinite 7. Civilisation 5 8. Dark Souls 9. Mass Effect 2 10. Dying Light

Unfortunately that rooms being taken up by something else, I’ll try and work it out so we stream it. It’ll probably be from our main stage if we do.
