    Mass Effect 2 Discussion - Fight for the Lost

    Just finished the game, and it was an amazing second chapter. I have a question about the end, though. I took a little too long to do one character's loyalty mission (). When I went to do it, and then went through Omega 4, the following happened: . I didn't like that very much, so I went...

    I didn't bump into or hyper extend anything, which is why I'm a little concerned. I'm going to resist doing any leg stuff (aside from jogging, which is pain-free) this week and see if there is any improvement by next Monday, and if not, I may visit a doctor to see if there is something more...

    Fallout 3 - Gen. Discussion & Info

    Well that's good to know! I was worried that I was moving in too linear of a direction and would miss out on a lot of the optional stuff. @pob14 - That's good to know, since I'm playing as a good character. But if I were to play a bad character later on, would there end up being somewhere...

    Any deceptively simple games to avoid for DS?

    Thanks for all the input so far! I've heard nothing but good things about Professor Layton and the Curious Village, but the lack of replay value makes me hesitant to pay full price for it. Once you solve a puzzle, there really isn't any going back to it, right? I know there are something like...

    Any deceptively simple games to avoid for DS?

    Some time this weekend I will probably be picking up a DS Lite since I don't believe there will be a price drop once the DSi is released, and my girlfriend will need some entertainment when she leaves for a job interview in another city next week. I was just wondering if there were any games...

    Fallout 3 - Gen. Discussion & Info

    I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I just got this off craigslist since I never played a Bethesda game before, and didn't want to pay full-price for a game I wasn't sure I would like. So far it's pretty great, though. I think the dialog system in Mass Effect is far better (that isn't...

    It's knee pain. It doesn't feel same as my legs do or arms do the day after a work out. It's right in the knee cap area/slightly above it, and I feel it as I'm dong the exercise. It feels bad...like a way it shouldn't be hurting while I'm doing in exercise. Like, if I were to try squatting...

    Has anyone here had knee pain while doing squats or deadlifts? At the gym this morning, I had to alter my routine because after 2 sets of squats and deadlifts, my knees were hurting way too much. I was doing pretty light weight, too. Any way to remedy this? Is it a form issue, or just a case...

    Definitely! I'm still getting sore after each workout, but especially after my legs day. I've seen increases in the weight I'm doing for squats, deadlifts, and hang cleans among other exercises, but I think my lack of commitment to focusing on the nutrition at the same level of some of the...

    My girlfriend and I borrowed our friend's Wii Fit just to see how it was (our friend doesn't really use it any more). She used it about three times and I've used it twice, and I think we're both done with it. I was going to use it to improve flexibility and balance, and she was going to use it...

    Dealing with A-holes on craigslist

    I don't think the whole hard-wired thing is much of an excuse at all. I used to call things "gay" if I didn't like them -- when I was 12 -- but when I wised up, I somehow found the strength to undo the "hard-wiring." Somehow. As for Craigslist A-holes, I don't know if this really qualifies...

    Wow, congratulations lilboo. That much weight in one month is pretty impressive (at least I think so). And ITDEFX, I think the worst result of not taking supplements is not as much muscle-growth (I've never taken any supplements [unless you count the occasional chocolate protein bar], and I've...

    Here are a couple of me with my cat. He'll be turning one next month. My girlfriend and I were thinking of getting him a paper bag with a few receipts in it. Any other suggestions?

    Official CAG board/card game topic. From Dominion to Battlestar we gots it all!

    Maybe you've already considered this, but if not, you might want to take a look at Ticket to Ride. The initial explanation of the instructions is a little complicated, but the gameplay itself is very simple on the surface. And what about word games? Boggle and Scrabble are staples of my game...

    Thanks, EDiddy, I really appreciate it. I'll be starting this routine on Monday, and I'll do core exercises and/or some cardio on Tuesdays and Thursdays (most likely core stuff). I usually do 6-7 exercises per day as opposed to 4-5, so this will be a good opportunity to exert myself a little...

    Magus, I'm not sure what the situation is where you're located, but here in Boston it's possible to join softball (modified or slow-pitch) teams for relatively cheap. I found a modified team last year that was $90 for about 16 games + playoffs. I actually searched on craigslist under the...

    Thanks for the advice! And I'd appreciate it, but I think I have a rough idea of what I'll be doing (If you happen to have a routine just laying around already though, I certainly wouldn't oppose the input!). Just one question though: would doing deadlifts, squats, and hang cleans the same day...

    I was thinking of changing my workout routine since I usually only get four days at about 40 minutes per day for working out (sometimes I do a 5th day, but not consistently). Would it be best to spend each day on a certain muscle group? Or is it better to do a full-body on each day? As of...
