| Topic | Is MvC2 on PSN worth getting? |
| Metal_DK 06/01/12 11:17:00 PM #7 |
MVC2's roster is way more interesting than UMVC3.......not sure why somebody would even bother questioning it.
Of course, on PSN you will only play good players at this point, so 3/4ths of the roster is probably useless.... -- Pride. Passion. Excellence. Metal_DK Currently playing: Sengoku Rance, Starcraft II |

another late night bump, kinda had a crappy day with the food, as the family all decided to go to outback steakhouse for dinner. Couldn't resist a steak a bit too big portion wise, sweet potato, and a salad. The family ordered a bloomin onion, but I pretty much didn't cave in, only having about 3 little stems.
I hit the gym today, deadlifts and core. Did a 3x5 at 325/350/375, then did 1 rep of 385, and I think i coulda done more. Not a lot of weight for my size, I know (about 220lbs), but my hamstrings and legs in general are pretty damn weak due to my laziness of rehabbing my poor knees over the years. Whatever. Did more back and core afterward, so I'm feeling decent about my day, even with the horrible dinner choice. -- Pride. Passion. Excellence. Metal_DK Currently playing: Sengoku Rance, Starcraft II |

i'm in the camp of 'never cared about weightlifting and still don't.'
however cardio and stretching are entirely different stories. pretty sure most of my future concerns will be in one if not both of those fields. so far the best advice i've figured cardio has is... basically, start running. then keep running. if there's something else in there i'm all ears. and stretching is the one that's beyond me in figuring out what's 'best.' nothing wrong with cardio, hell running a lot will create the "base" you need to start gaining muscle in lower and upper body areas. -- Pride.

I get almost all supplements from amazon. Or ill scout out bodybuilding.com for a potential buy 1 get 1 free type deal.
I was thinking about adding a fat burner to my supplements. Possibly green tea extract or l-carnitine. As for whey/casein brands, I almost always stay away from stuff that seems plentiful at the targets, wallmarts, and supermarkets. Things like EAS Whey protein tend to get reviewed pretty low from many trustworthy websites and magazines, and usually have artifical flavorings and stuff like that. NOW foods has been my go to brand lately. -- Pride. Passion. Excellence. Metal_DK Currently playing: Sengoku Rance, Starcraft II |

my food schedule is very very similar. Something along the lines of
Breakfast: Oatmeal, 3 eggs, a piece of fruit. Sometimes i put the eggs on an english muffin for a breakfast sandwich Lunch: 3 to 4 oz of low sodium chicken breast. Greek yogurt (really good, has a tad bit of sugar in it, but other than that its a great source of protein), some veggies (asparagus lately) Snacks: usually Almonds, sometimes peanut butter like you said, other times a small portion of chicken/beef/turkey Pre workout: Whichever Pre-workout energy supplement i am currently using (i.e. noxplode, nos blast, etc) After workout: Protein Shake (i use skim milk, water with protein doesn't flow with me lol), a piece of fruit, Dinner: Lots of veggies and a fairly large portion of some chicken/beef/turkey. Lately its been beef. Right before bed: Cottage cheese or Casein protein in a small amount of skim milk. As for supplements, ya i down fish oil a lot too. For my knees and ankle I keep using osteo bi-flex, but I could be getting placebo'ed on that. I have a tub of Whey protein, Casein protein (slow digesting protein, good for pre bed), and a pre-workout energy mix. I also take a multi-vitamin (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/men.html) -- Pride. Passion. Excellence. Metal_DK Currently playing: Sengoku Rance, Starcraft II |

I guess I'll do a quick introduction to who I am and some things about me, why I want to work out, other hobbies, etc. Anyone else please feel free to do so too, I feel if we have some backgrounds on each other we'll feel more connected and less likely to have insulting posts.
Name: Matt Age: 24 Born: Pittsburgh, PA Currently Resides: Atlanta, GA Background: I've been working out pretty regularly since my sophomore year of high school. I've been a member of the same gym since 8th grade, but for the first 2ish years all I did was play basketball (played basketball in middle school/early high school). Sophomore year I started playing football, and a friend/teammate showed me the basics of working out. I was the first senior in my high school's history to be the backup QB to a junior (ya, I wasn't very good lol), but I did get to start 2 games when he broke his arm at the end of the season and finished with 1 career TD, 2 career INTs, 1 rushing TD. After I graduated high school in 2005, I broke my knees and right ankle at a nearby lake. There was a semi-big drought going on in greater Atlanta, and I jumped off a cliff. However I didn't land in the water right away. Due to complications and a rebreak of the knees, I was bedridden from early August 05 to about Thanksgiving 05. The knees are pretty well repaired, the ankle however is pretty crappy still. On one of my old cell phones I have a picture of my legs after the atrophy, and it looked pretty bad. I wasn't very big in high school (maybe about 6'0", 165 or so...below average weight for high school football tbh), but after I got out of being bedridden I grew about 2 inches and gained close to 40 pounds. My upper body strength saw big gains, but I gained a lot of body fat too that I'm still trying to lose. Current weight: ~220 Goal weight: 205? Other hobbies: Pittsburgh sports (Pirates mostly), Video Games (duh....my favorite game is either Starcraft or Morrowind), Playing trivia with my friends -- Pride. Passion. Excellence.

I recently made a site suggestion for a board, and like always, it got shot down by sb allen. However this board is really active, and I think it could be really fun if people encouraged others.
I dont have too many close friends IRL who are really interested in this, but (again) I figured this board being as active as it is we could get good discussion about it. The only rule I would implement is that if you want to criticize somebody's advice or decision, do so in a rational and polite manner. I understand this could very quickly turn into one of those stupid alpha/beta topics due to the subject nature, but I would recommend everyone to either put a poster on ignore or just not respond to somebody who posts in a non constructive way.

I have a friend who thinks he's really cool for pirating things. We were both planning on playing planescape torment this summer and talking about it with each other. The first question he asked me is "so where'd you download it?". I told him i bought it off gog.com. He looked at me and gave me some cocky smile.
I've pirated music in the past, but every song I've pirated was well over 5 years old at the time I downloaded it. Its not completely justified, but I do feel that american copyright laws are kinda whack and something thats like 12 or so years old should start entering public domain. -- Pride. Passion.

a good mix of new and old woulda been better, but I'm really glad they weren't banking on nostalgia, and it has more new than old. We saw what happened to the 90s is all that block and how after a month nobody gives a ****.
YYH is getting a bit too much love in this topic btw. Good show but hardly the most important show to bring back or anything. I think what they need to do the most is recreate the atmosphere that toonami had. The problem with this relaunch is its looking like its Saturday night only. That was like the one day toonami wasn't airing in the late 90s/early 00s. Id rather see a Mon-Thurs late afternoon block and then a Friday anime movie/special feature. Of course that would be asking for like 5 times more air time, and it seems like the youth of today likes CN the way it is. I do feel there is a market for 90s CN. People in their early to late 20s still watch cartoons. I'd like to see boomerang go back to strictly the baby boomer cartoons and then have a generation y cn channel or something. -- Pride. Passion.

| Metal_DK 05/15/12 7:58:00 AM #12 |
Love Starcraft/Brood War
Love Diablo 2 Like Diablo 1 Like Starcraft 2 (although bnet 2.0 is trash) Like Warcraft 3 pre DotA (dota killed war3's custom map scene) Neutral to Warcraft 1 (bad A.I. by today's standards, great game for its time though) Dislike Warcraft 2 (I don't see how anyone thinks this game is better than C+C and Red Alert, two games that came out around the same time. War 2's story is great though). Got bored of WoW about 5 months after the beta ended (The beta was the best era of the game). Diablo 3 looks very.....meh to me. I dont see it with staying power like diablo 2 tbh. Gamers for the most part move on after something stops being the "hot topic", especially in the era where game releases are treated like a major event and how people now have social media to conveniently talk about the game with their friends. See: how few of people play skyrim now that its been 6 months. The RMAH is a key component to the game, and if people stop playing the game after 2 or 3 months....screws over the people who have to use it, and screws over blizzard's bottom line. People compare Diablo 3 to WoW a lot, and there is many comparisons to be made to WoW. But in terms of community staying power, I think it will be more like Starcraft 2 in the sense that once the game becomes about 3 to 5 months old, there will be fairly large exodus to whatever big game comes out next. -- Pride.

Honestly if the acting was good I don't think I'd enjoy it as much. It's the over the top cheesy "they are really saying this with a straight face" part of wrestling that appeals to me.
at first i thought your response was really dumb, but honestly when I think about it, you are right on with that. I guess the acting that I will never think is "good because its cheesy" is some of the actual wrestling. The most recent time I watched wrestling (Cody Rhodes lived right down the street from me when we were in high school, and I saw an ad for a weeks episode of monday night WWE or something), the way the wrestlers would be pinned for like 3 seconds, wobble a small bit, and then the one trying to pin the other would just fall off.
