Yeah, I tried twice, but the imperial army just turned around, killed my men, then went back to suppressing rebellions.

I love the idea that fucking it would be wrong thanks to the paternal relationship, but watching it get fucked is totally fine.

So...Spiderman? I don't think theres ever been a good Spiderman game, and I've never played anything put out by Insomniac, so I've not got particularly high hopes for it.

I didn't even consider breakfast food. A sausage an egg mcmuffin sounds awesome. I have to rethink my idea...

What are the micro transactions then? Skins for your robot? I'd pay 10€ to make my robot look like a Gundam.

Sounds like a good idea. I ACTUALLY HAVE ACCESS TO A KITCHEN NOW. I must actually take part in this now. I'll make my interpretation of a big mac this weekend.

Well now I'm convinced. I hope it has legs...titanic legs.

I can't wait to get my hands on Salt and Sanctuary. It sounds fantastic. Having coop is just a beautiful idea. Sounds like it was amazing.

I have no idea why I find this so appealing. I never once played a CoD game, but giant mechs? I'm excited. It just looks incredible. So we can assume there's going to be an "I'm afraid I can't do that Davd" moment. Right?

I've only ever met one girl in a bar, and we dated for like 2 weeks. No idea how people go up to others in bars and just talk to them, seems incredibly ballsy, especially as most people are just hanging around talking with their friends.

I go out to bars because it's a lot easier to leave when you're done socialising for the night. If people are around your house it's sometimes impossible to get rid of them.

I love how someone can be considered "weak" because they're not as good at a video game as someone else. Guy has been watching too much anime.

The Olympics in the UK was on TV, and highlights every night. It was awesome waking up in the morning, having a cup of coffee and watching some random sport before going to work. I hope I can do something similar this year.

Man, that sounds fun. I'd absolutely love to replay. Shame I can't access DS currently thanks to my poop computer.

I'm planning to pick up a monitor tomorrow so I can play the new DLC. And so I can get back in to Destiny.

I'm totally in for this, I want to play destiny again.

Soooooo....XCOM 2 on consoles this year. Cool!

The criticisms are fair, but all on a case-by-case basis. For example, today, we had to do 10 deadlifts in 60 seconds. All the class was racing ahead, but I was holding back to the point I was only doing 8, but they were 8 solid, perfect lifts. I was also recommended to lift at 60% of my max. I didn't (I did 40%) because I've not done it in a while and knew that I could easily cause myself problems. As someone who's deadlifted a lot, injured myself a lot, learned from my mistakes a lot, I know what is good for me. Those with less experience won't. I feel like for me and those with a lot of heavy lifting experience, it's a pretty great system, but for those who are new to lifting and don't know their body...maybe not. Yet that's who it's aimed at. Also the price? It's more than a gym membership, sure, but I don't find it prohibitive. I have so much disposable cash right now because living in Germany is cheap compared to what I'm used to. Price is entirely subjective. Yeah, classes aren't my first choice either. The times my place runs it are fine (6am-7am or 5:30pm-6:30pm/7pm-8pm). Pretty much perfect for my schedule. I'm not going to defend it to the end, because many of the criticisms are entirely valid, I just tried it and I think it's a lot of fun.

That seems like a criticism of the participants rather than the regimen itself. A lot of people go there for their first serious attempt at fitness. They see it works compared to the years they spent running and doing low impact bullshit. They then become evangelists. The pull-ups...yeah. I guess it depends on how you view it. If you're doing a 20 minute circuit, you can do some sets of perfect pull-ups, but you can't do that forever, requiring the added "kip." I don't think doing it that way is encouraged constantly (well, it certainly wasn't where I was, but different places can encourage or discourage different things).

I had my first CrossFit class. It was pretty much what I expected, it was hard, it was intense and it was crazy amounts of fun. As it was a beginners class, there were different fitness/skill levels there. I was the only one able to do the exercises unassisted, but everyone was working their absolute hardest. The best part was how friendly the atmosphere was, at the end some veterans even joined in. Everyone wanted everyone to do well. While there's the spirit of competition, seeing someone fail isn't the aim. I don't really get why the internet hates it. It was enjoyable and intense. It wouldn't be my first choice (I love my powerlifting) but the fact there's a lack of any decent gyms in my area pushed me towards it, and it seems like it's right up my alley.

Is this also the thread for the Olympics? I'm super excited for the Olympics this year.

I drove from the UK to Germany recently. Although not alone since I didn't want a car over here. While it's probably nothing compared to the distance you're driving, it was still super fun!

I wish I liked football (or "soccer"). It's one of the few things I find boring but have tried really, genuinely hard to get in to. It's just so ubiquitous in Europe that not liking it makes me the odd one out. It's a shame people don't prefer the superior sport of rugby. Maybe then I'd have more to talk about with strangers in pubs.

Depression sucks, all I know is that whenever I have been depressed exercise is the last thing I want to do. So I get you there. When I'm sad (obviously different to depressed) exercise usually makes me feel better, but at least I have some motivation left. Yeah, no one gives a shit what you look like. It's super hard to actually make yourself believe that. You can always buy weights for your room. I got a kettlebell since it's small and easy to store, but you can do a wide variety of movements with it. Wasn't crazy price from amazon, but the postman hated me.

I'll get XCOM 2 once it's on sale, but I don't think I have it in me to play for a few months!
