There's an official 2 player Catan variant that people seem to like that can be downloaded here. It's from the game designer, and has a "forced" trade mechanic to it as well as dummy players that you both control to fill up the board space and cut each other off. It looks good, but I haven't...

I think at the beginning of the game they mentioned that the gates were shutting down because of a virus. It (ufortunately) makes sense that they'd shut back down a little while after you open them.

I picked it up last night. The game itself seems more difficult, mainly due to the hex board and being able to change which way the gems slide. Also, 4 of a kind no longer gives an extra turn, but just a bonus. I haven't had any trouble with the planet menus sending my ship away yet, but the...

So now that the topic has been open for 3 weeks, how many games have you bought? Because it sounds like a lot. And what have been your fiance's favorites (and least favorites) so far? I'm always trying to find games that my wife will like, so I'm curious what's worked for you so far. My wife...

Every 10 workouts you redo the fitness test, so you should be entering all of your measurements then. I finished number 8 this morning and she was nice enough to give me a warning: "The workout after next is your fitness test, so be ready!" Another note: you only unlock new locations and music...

I know Walmart has some good ones (Gold's Gym brand, I think) for $20, and some that may be questionable for $10. I saw the cheap ones in one local store but not the other, so YMMV. I haven't gotten one yet. And when you do start doing more core workouts, fear the "Hundreds." It starts off nice...

I don't know, but I intend to find out. I suspect it may just be used to determine your heart rate during your retests, or she may ask for the rate at the end of the warmups to determine how effective they were. Edit: From a review of the xBox version, it says that the box for each cardio move...

Woot.com is selling Reebok heart rate monitor watches (with chest straps) for 19.99 + $5 shipping today. I went ahead and ordered one, because I haven't been able to find one for less than $35 or $40.

I decided to do 15 minutes of cardio as well, just to have an idea of what you'd be going through. It said I burned around 110. It was tough but not insane. I can understand that. So far, I've seen quite a few repeats, so there's definitely some familiarity over time. If you need to hear an...

Yes, you can choose 15 minute increments up to 60, I think. I've done both 15 and 30 minute workouts.

No, you can still decide what to do. She reccomends doing a different daily focus each day (it will have a star next to it), but you're free to choose whichever option you'd like. This is different from your long term goal, somehow. I'm assuming that since I have weight loss as a long term goal...

You should be. Sure, she sounds nice, but Maya is cold-hearted bitch. I think my next workout tonight is supposed to be cardio, and I'm damn scared. Or maybe it's yoga. God, I hope it's yoga. :) My legs have been getting the worst of it. It's the same old story... I've never had so much trouble...

Each time you start a workout, she'll let you confirm the equipment that you have. I guess that it defaults to what you selected last time, because the weights are always selected. She still hasn't asked me to use my free weights yet, but I'm tempted to get a heart monitor wrist watch. Most of...

It's on sale at Best Buy for $19.99 this week.

Hasbro doesn't have the rights to do toy lines for DC, so we're out of luck.
