  1. I cycle outdoors a lot and enjoy that more than any other type of exercise. It's great for cardio and legs, but I consider it lacking for the whole body. I used to have quite a bit of weightlifting equipment(barbells, dumbells, etc) and have had a few exercise machines over the decades (recumbent exercise bike, rower, stepper.) I still have an elliptical but only because my wife uses it regularly. Of the indoor machines I've owned, I'd say the elliptical has been my favorite(my wife's favorite, too), but I don't use it much. For general fitness, I like bodyweight exercises and HIIT(high intensity interval training.) Here's a video of a routine that combines those: No equipment needed for many routines of that type. There are quite a few more HIIT routines on that youtube channel. Exercising that way can be challenging to the newcomer to it, but it's a really time efficient way to become fitter. Some of the HIIT routines are very difficult, but they can always be cut down to better match with a person's current fitness level. This is about the only piece of equipment I use anymore: http://www.amazon.com/Iron-Gym-Express-Chin-Up-Bar/dp/B003VNAKEE/ref=sr_1_1/187-4488179-7688114?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1408094033&sr=1-1
  2. It's faring worse than I expected. Figured it would turn out to be a decent game even if it turned out to be a bad Thief game.
  3. Yeah, I was referring to nuThief. From what I've seen of it, I wouldn't score it anywhere nearly as high as 78%, but even so, I expect that 78% will be a bit lower than what most reviewers give it.
  4. Well, thanks for the classic fun talking Thief back in January. I was glad to see another fan in this desert. Time to move on...

      Yeah, the speculation was fun. Too bad that looks to be about all the fun that's to have been had with the new game. I've been computer/video gaming for around four decades, and nothing even comes close to the disappointment of nuThief for me.

  5. I doubt I'll ever play the new game. I was planning on watching someone's Let's Play of it, but after seeing some of the streams of the leaked game, I may not even watch a Let's Play.
  6. Has this stream been posted? It's stuttery for me, but maybe it's one that won't be pulled. http://cybergame.tv/bombacquired/
  7. Nice artwork, nice artwork for a stealth game, but I'm not so sure it's nice artwork for a Thief game. Seems very drab and lacking color to me. No vibrancy.
  8. I think the Witcher games benefit greatly from being based on a series of books. Eventhough the games differ from the books in some of the details, there's more depth to the characters and the world than what is typical in games. There's a sense that much more has happened to the characters than what is taking place in the games, that the characters bring their own personal histories to the world the games take place in. I think that's what makes them seem more authentic than a lot of games.
  9. The loss of Stephen Russell was almost the breaking point for me. As long as SR is able to voice Garrett, he should be voicing Garrett. It's not helping that Orzari's Garrett voice reminds me of Steve Buscemi. Loss of SR combined with the loss of Hammerites and Pagans pushed me over the edge. I probably would have put up with the inferior controls and bought the game if SR had returned or if the lore hadn't been gutted.
  10. I think I have a high tolerance level for forum crap. I seem to be able to ignore it better than a lot of people. I'm rarely on the receiving end of it though and am not very confrontational to begin with. No denying things have gone drastically downhill at TTLG over the past several years though.
  11. Maybe, but she seems awfully unaware of what has gone down with nuThief and is saying things that could hardly be better designed to annoy the nuThief fans. I expect soon we'll be reading about her looking forward to seeing Hammerites again then being shocked they aren't in the game.
  12. zwanzig zwolf for one. His posts tend to be very short though and don't attract much attention. He's from RPG Codex or someone else is using the same name. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if Britney is trolling. I don't know what to call what Viktoria is doing. Whatever it is got her banned from TTLG though.
  13. So those things are in the sanitarium. Is that some end stage of the plague? There was also one in what looked like a mine. Same location as the sanitarium or are these things widespread? I read something about encountering a supernatural creature under the Keeper library, but I can't remember if it was one of those.
  14. You'd think the mods have to know some of those people are trolling, but they often reply as though they don't. EM's policy must be to err on the side of caution or something.
  15. I'm still reading the EM board. Getting at least a little amusement from trying to figure out who is trolling.:-D
