What Girls Think About During Sex

EDD says...

In my humble opinion this is probably the single dumbest, most pointless, painfully unfunny video in the Top15 since choggie is no longer a member. Content-wise maybe, just maybe some of these examples of hers resonate with the ladies (although I highly doubt it), but I have to say I can't get over not standing this narcissistic girl, her attention-whoring and her pathetic - but alas, obviously effective - use of nerdy references. Blech.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review

EDD says...

>> ^Jinx:

Y axis sensitivity scales with framerate. So I won't be paying anything until that gets fixed.
Feels like a rushed console port. Simply stuff like vsync, fov and mouse accel/smoothing not being in the options really frustrates the hell out of me. I don't really understand why developers consistently fail at this.
As for the game, seems pretty fantastic.


Haven't played it yet, but as for FOV: bring up the console with the tilde key and enter in 'fov XX' (via IGN)

This is IGN's review of the game's PC version, which I found considerably more aesthetically pleasing as well as more comprehensive than the GameTrailers one, which only has noticeably crappier Xbox360 graphics.

Thanks for the encouragement! I will definitely try it out someday, but how soon, I can't say right now. It does look very cool though, can't deny it!
In reply to this comment by residue:
totally agree, once you get going it can be really addicting, which rocks. You really should consider rock climbing, I think per capita it's one of the best workouts and it doesn't feel like working out at all. Huge thrill, not dangerous at all, addicting and as challenging as you want to make it. If you can find a gym, that's a nice safe place to start and you don't need to get on-rope either. Plus, there's no real ceiling to how good you can get. I got tired of running because even running daily and on weekends for distance, I wasn't really getting much faster, and running longer just takes more and more time.

Keep up the good work!

Nice to hear of your progress and especially of delayed gratification. I guess the moral of the story is... just do p90x Maybe I will.

In reply to this comment by deathcow:
Hello... i struggled... part of it was a 20 lb loss, which helps... but still I struggled and for many weeks could do only 1-3... then, cant explain it, they just turned on. After I finished the 90 days I still couldnt belt em out, but a couple weeks later I went back to the bar and just started whipping them out.


In reply to this comment by EDD:
That's impressive progress, I'm jealous. I haven't concentrated on pullups and I've heard a lot but know very little about p90x. But I'd sure like to start working on them someday soon. Right now I can only do 5, with kipping. Were there any breakthroughs for you that you can share? Mostly just keep at it, right?

In reply to this comment by deathcow:
i went from zero to 12 fast full arm extension pullups over the last 90 days... p90x again

Thanks - and great to hear about you too! I don't know much and I've seen even less of mountain climbing, but I gotta say, I'm starting to see the appeal and maybe one day I'll try my hand in it - for now and for at least a year yet I'll be primarily a runner/triathlete though. High five for us both turning turning our lives around! Don't you just love the addiction and the post-workout high?

In reply to this comment by residue:
awesome story! I was in horrible shape long ago and got sick of it.. now I'm an avid rock climber and run a couple half marathons each year. I don't think I ever want to do the full...

In reply to this comment by EDD:
I'm going to work out and work out, and work on it, and keep pushing myself until I can do at least one.
Seriously.

Let me elaborate a bit. A year ago I was a complete couch potato. I couldn't jog for more than a kilometer, couldn't do more than 6 or 7 consecutive pushups - near-zero marks on a fitness scale, basically. That all changed this April, when I finally decided to get of my (fat) ass. I'd already started gradually changing my eating habits since year's end 2010, and in April I finally started working out. For half a year I've been allocating somewhere between an hour and two and a half practically each day for workouts; running almost every other day and in between - also every other day - did bodyweight exercises: started with these, built a routine around them, but recently substituted it for a weightlifting program in a gym. I've lost some 15 kg, I've done the 100 pushups program (yup, pretty much anyone can do it, and in less than six months, too), recently ran my first half-marathon (1:47, very proud of that time), and I'm aiming for 2 marathons (NYC among them, hopefully), a 70k ultra, and a long-course triathlon next year.

So because this is so inspiring to me, and because I want to be able to do what he does, and because I realize now that anyone who sets their mind to it and works towards it relentlessly can do it, let's *doublepromote
